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.

I LOVE this thing! Considering that the Best Buy, Walmart, (two walmart locations) and Target, do NOT sell ANY type of Sansa Fuze cover or skin (with the exception of some jogging pouch at Best Buy) I finally had to order this thing from Amazon.I am very pleased with this product I feel like I can "manhandle" it and not be so delicate with my Fuze. I'm not afraid of it getting scratched, or roughed up in any way.I recommend this product to anyone with a fuze because the plastic "halves" that protect this thing are pretty thick and durable so you know it's going to protect your Fuze.I noticed other reviews stated that you cannot pry the halves apart. I myself have not tried this....OK, I just tried it...this thing is NOT coming off!That could be a good or bad thing, depends on how you look at things. I'm now not at all worried that if I drop it on concrete (which I am very likely to do) it will not break apart and damage my Fuze.But, if you like to fidget with things often and want to pry and open this thing on a regular basis, then don't purchase this thing. Go buy a rubiks cube :)As far as controls go, all the buttons are still accessible, the ports are all open for use. The only problem I see so far is that turning the thing on is just a bit more difficult that it already was. So unless you like to keep a long thumb nail (which I don't) you might have a hard time turning your Fuze on and off and switching it to HOLD.A clip comes with it too. I haven't put mine on because I'm not interested in it, however, I did notice that the clip is kind of a cheap plastic and it might not clip so well; so if you're purchasing this thing mainly for the clip use, I'd give it one and a half stars.So in a nutshell:PROS:1.VERY durable2.Thick durable plastic3.Holds together very well so if you drop it, it will stay together4.All buttons and ports are accessibleCONS:1.If You DO want to take the halves apart, you might need to take it to a mechanic..haha just kidding, but It is very hard, I myself was not able to pry mine apart2.Turning the ON/OFF/HOLD button is even harder to activate.3.The Clip isn't very heavy duty.Oh yeah! Shipping was EXCELLENT. I did standard shipping and I ordered it on a Thursday. So, I had to wait until after the weekend, I did get it the following Tuesday when my mailman came. So approximately three business days. The package mine came in was small enough to fit into an apartment mailbox (which is really small) so don't worry about being around for the UPS guy.Hope my review was helpful to most if not some!:)
