Transparent Clear Crystal Snap On Hard Case for SanDisk Sansa Fuze

I had purchased a case for my husband's Fuze several months ago and bought the 3 in 1 travel case set. I definitely didn't like it's ill fitting design and so when I purchased a Fuze for myself decided to try out this snap on case. His leather case is not only ill fitting and doesn't protect the screen very well but it completely hides the Fuze's good looks. I enjoy the fact that this case doesn't seem easily scratched and shows off the Fuze while protecting it at the same time. It fits perfectly. All of the ports are easily accessible. I had no trouble turning it on and off. I was able to remove the case twice within 10 minutes although it was not easy and took some care which honestly, is what you would expect in a good quality case. My niece has an I-pod and I watched her step-father struggle with removing the snap on case. It took him much longer just to get that thing apart than what it took me to get this one apart, back together, and then apart again. I used an old fashioned staple remover (the one with the bent top not the kind with the "teeth" so to speak) to act as a lever and pry it apart from the bottom where the opening for the port is. Also, I noticed my niece's case didn't have an opening at all to charge her Ipod. This case has ALL of the openings in exactly the correct places so you shouldn't have to take it on and off a lot. The clip wasn't as bad as what some of the reviews lead me to believe it would have been. However the clip is definitely cheap looking and seems as if it could be easily broken. I do like the fact that you can leave the back part of the clip inside the case with the Fuze in it and then unscrew the actual clip on part from the outside of the case and detach it completely if you don't want to use it. This is a nice feature since I'll probably only use the clip when I'm jogging. Overall, a very well designed case. Again, I had no problem taking mine off contrary to the one review where the person said it could not be removed at all. I would be interested in reading some reviews from others who have maybe had their cases a while as I hope that the case wouldn't over time maybe become impossible to remove? I hope not anyway.Just wanted to give an update, it's Nov., 2010, case is still holding up great(even though it does now look the worse for wear seeing as how I've dropped it about 100 times and thrown it in my purse and basically just scratched the heck out of it). It's still easy to remove the case and still protecting my Fuze just fine. I think I might buy another case after Christmas though because I have scratched mine up pretty badly.It's February, 2012 and I'm still using this same case although it's about time to update with a new MP3 player. I'm a bit of a klutz so I can honestly say this thing has been dropped numerous times. It's been thrown in my purse, tote bags, suitcases, etc.. and has protected my Fuze perfectly. It has some fine scratches in it but doesn't look horrible. I can still remove the case and replace it with no problem.

My Fuze takes a lot of abuse, so I knew I'd need something to protect it when it got dropped or shoved into my bag or pockets. The case fits snugly over the player, I'm able to use all of it's functions without taking it off, ever. However I do remove it to wipe the dust off of the inside. I just cleaned it a few moments ago and my Fuze looks just as great as the day I bought it! This case was WELL worth the money spent.Pros:- Case fully protects the MP3 player from scratches- Protects player when dropped on a hard surface from 5' down (Haven't tested higher, but it's a sturdy and snug case, should protect it from most rough landings)- ALL MP3 player functions can be used while the case is onCons:- Dust does get trapped under the player (This can easily be wiped away with removal, and I feel it's small price to pay for keeping the player itself scratch-free)- Player may be hard to remove by hand, a small wedge can be inserted into the area for the "Mic" and the case should pop open (I find it's easier to separate after the initial removal. I'm able to do it with my fingernail near the mic hole.)- I'm unable to fully plug in the charger while the case is on, despite this it still connects and works like normal (However I found that annoying and I'm not sure if can be damaged that way.)I give this a five stars anyways because the cons are for the most part, to be expected. The biggest annoyance would be the charger, but even that doesn't impair usage while the case is on. It has kept my player safe and looking nice, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I bought this and the silicone sleeve with armband and belt clip for my Fuze and it's better than I expected considering some other reviews.Clear Case: It's great. I can access everything except that the power button is hard to slide sometimes and I did have to modify the bottom so the data cable would seat properly. Before you buy this or before it gets to you WATCH THE VIDEO. It made modifying and test fitting so much easier.Silicone Skin Case: Fits snugly and fits over the clear snap-on case. The power button is hard to get to with both products in place but I only do this when I need the armband.Armband: I can see how it might be small for some people but I have seen some wear their MP3 players on their forearm just below the elbow. It's stretchy and works for me just fine on my upper arm.Belt-Clip: Those who have broken theirs just didn't look hard enough. The two disks that sandwich the silicone actually have a screw post that holds them together. Just unscrew the halves, put the correct one inside the sleeve, screw back together, and put your player in the sleeve. You do not have to separate the buttons from the clip to do this. Very simple. If I were a jogger or runner I would stick with the armband, the clip seems a little flimsy. Fast walkers or walking with a stroller or on your way to work its probably just fine.If you buy this case, you can also use the belt clip. It has the properly drilled hole and indent specifically for the clip, and you can unscrew the outer half and slip over the silicone sleeve when you need the armband.I didn't know which one would work for me but I'm glad I bought both because I now have a lot more options to enjoy my Fuze.
