[Review] Case DLO HipCase Leather for Zune 8GB

Alexandre Vallieres-Lagace | July 23, 2008

There are dozens or even hundreds of versions of leather cases for MP3 player, but how many are actually well designed and good quality? Several models block access to certain connectors, others are of such poor quality that would they will tear ... I am pleased to present the HipCase for Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO)!

Unlike the unnamed pale copies on eBay, the HipCase is extremely well designed and well assembled. The HipCase leather case is designed for Zune 4GB or 8GB which allows full access to ports and buttons on the Zune while protecting of any scratches. The Zune fits over the top and is held securely inside. No need to constantly check, because the case is very safe for your MP3 player.

Inside, the front portion which touches the back of your Zune is made of a material similar to suede, a nice touch that works fine at the same time non-slip to keep your Zune in the case. On the back, a pair of curved belt that fits very well with the belt or pocket jeans.

On the front of the HipCase, we can see almost all the Zune protected by plastic wrap. Wondering if Zunepad and two buttons are still usable or whether to release the Zune to use it? Well as I said earlier, this case is very well designed and all buttons are accessible and work nearly as well as caseless. I noticed a slight decrease in sensitivity Zunepad through the plastic (in the "slipped" ). Unless it be the plastic slippage although Zunepad itself. In any case, I do not think it diminishes the workability of Zunepad.

The only real drawback is that the plastic that protects the front of the Zune attracts fingerprints and as the player is very thin, it is more difficult to clean the inside of the plastic. I noticed with the humid days we've had in the Montreal area that moisture actually "paste" the plastic screen of Zune. To take off, I just had to pinch the sides of the Zune.

On the website of DOL, it says "minimum box, with maximum style and it is true that the case is" minimal. " It is very light and without artifice, he does exactly what is expected of him: to protect our investment and ensure full utilization of the Zune's features. For $ 29.99, this accessory is a must for your Zune Flash. If only its price was lower.

Note assessment: 8 / 10
