4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Value!, 3 Jun 2009
After my disappointment of the official Sony Walkman S-Series CKL-NWS630 case that I purchased for my Sony Walkman S639FB (16GB) from Sony Style (£24.99), where Sony have designed the case so the MP3 player is loaded into the case via the bottom, and because the case is loose fitting, this means when you're using the MP3 player, it easily slips out (and could drop on the floor), which renders the expensive Sony case, completely useless!
So, I required a different case that, like the Sony, had a magnetic flap, but didn't allow my MP3 player to slip out of the bottom of the case. Luckily, my search led me to this EASYi case that seemed to fit my preference of a magnetic flip case that slips the player into the top (under the flap), meaning the player is safe from accidentally slipping out of the bottom of the case.
The first thing I notice was that the EASYi was a tighter fit, and the player fit very snuggly into the case. Access to the controls is OK, probably better than the Sony, but I still feel there could be improvements made, e.g., EASYi should cut away some of the leather surrounding the buttons. If they did this, it would be perfect.
Quality wise, the EASYi has soft leather which has a nice feel to it, but in comparison to the Sony case, it's overall quality isn't as good. The Sony case has better quality leather, perfectly shaped and better stitching (It also has a soft suede interior, but this may be one of the reasons why the MP3 Player slips out of the Sony case too easily). However, the quality reflects the price, and at £6.99, this EASYi is excellent value.
Overall, If you're looking for a magnetic flip case that is great value and decent quality, that protects your Sony MP3 Player and doesn't allow it to slip out, then I recommend this EASYi Leather Flip Case. It's not perfect, but seemingly better than anything else currently available.
