Creative Carabineer Case for Zen Mozaic

 (19 customer reviews)

First of all, the picture is somehow not accurate because you would normally put the player top portion (where the screen is) first to expose the USB port and most importantly, the headphone jack so that you can easily plug the cords in. Also, when you examine the case, you'd notice that in the lower back portion, there are square holes similar to the built-in speaker (mosaic like) so that you can still listen to the player via its built-in speaker even when inside the case.

In spite of the low rating of this product, due to the carabineer, I still went ahead and purchased it to protect the best MP3 player I ever had.

I bought this case because it was specifically made for my newly purchased Zen Mosaic player, whereas most no name cases or store brand cases are made for iPods or players resembling iPods. It lets the player fit snugly enough that it doesn't slip out, you do have to put a little effort into sliding it out from this case. The only thing I didn't like is the little carabineer clip latched on broke within the first day or so of use. You can buy another little clip or rig it with a keychain which is what I did, but except for the clip being seemingly cheap this is a good buy.

It was a bit flimsy and lightweight for my purposes and since all I was doing was using it while I was out walking, it might be that way for most people.
