This is a wonderful case. It protects my MP3 player better than any other case that I have found. What I like most is the kick stand in the back. It is very sturdy & you don't have to set the player down if you don't want to. Excellent Buy!

I read the other reviews and was hesitant to buy this case, I have a bunch of them sitting in a drawer. For whatever reason the ZV:M never had an all purpose case. One to protect the screen and the face of the player, one that allowed functionality of all of the buttons and one that allowed the cables to be plugged in without removing it from the case. This does it all.

Like any leather product it's pretty rigid out of the box, it needs to soften up a bit. I sat there and worked it for probably a whopping 10 minutes, after that I was in business. The unit slides easily into and out of the case and I can operate all of the controls easily.

There's a handy built-in kickstand and the belt clip works horizontally or vertically... not to mention it comes in cute colors.

It is overall a good durable product. It does interfere a little with operation of the left and right cursor on the sides of the touchpad, but it just requires a little more concentration on your movements. I don't have any reason to remove the zen from the case. It is good grade leather, fairly stiff on the front and back in particular.

I love this case that I bought for my Creative Zen Vision:M. You can still operate all the buttons with the case on. You can even use the adapter for charging with the case on the Zen. Very good protection for your MP3.

I bought this case along with my 30 GB Zen Vision M about five months ago and have been very pleased. The convenient hole in the bottom of the case allows the attachment of the Zen's proprietary dongle for charging/connecting to computer and I really never have to remove the Zen from its case for any reason. The kickstand is extremely useful for standing the Zen upright when attached to external speakers or just viewing video. The case is sturdy and protects the Zen from falls, dust and dirt very well. When I first received it, the leather was a bit stiff so manipulating the Zen's buttons was tricky, but after a few days it was not a problem. My case is in the baby pink color and it has never stained the back of my Zen and I have not experienced any scratching. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
