Archos Leather Stand Case for 4 GB Archos 605 (Black)

I bought this case along with the 605 WiFi 160GB version. I was disappointed to find that the case was not built for the thickness of the 160GB version.
Otherwise, the case appears to be well-made and would've been quite handy if my Archos unit had fit.

It's high quality and fits the 30 GB like a glove, but there is one critical problem -- there is not opening by the data/power port, so you have to take the unit out of the case in order to charge it or connect to a computer. Unfortunately, for me that's a dealbreaker.

The case fits the archos snugly, but has a number of drawbacks.

1. There is no place for the stylus

2. although there is a headphone cutout that works well, there is no cutout for the speaker. Since it's advertised as a "stand case" I expected to be able to stand it & watch it. It doesn't stand well, and you can't hear the speaker through the leather.

3. A bottom cutout for the power/usb cord would have been a nice addition that was forgotten


Mostly without a holster for the stylus, I found this case mostly unusable. I ended up taking it out of the case every time I wanted to use it, and it was somewhat awkward to remove as well.
