Creative Zen Stone Keychain Case

 (5 customer reviews)

I would think this case is perfect were it not for one major flaw. The Zen Stone has a switch/button on the side that is used to place the stone in shufffle mode, regular play mode, or navigate to the next folder. When the stone is in it's case this button is completly inaccessible. If you want to navigate to a specific folder/album while the Zen Stone is in the case you must navigate one track at a time.

The Zen Stone Keychain is packaged with both the case and a ring to attach it to. The rin is probably too large to be comfortable attached to a set of keys but is just the right size to use as a belt clip. The case secures the Zen Stone in place with a hook and loop (VELCRO) fastener and the case can't be opened with the ring is in place.

Well there's not a whole lot to say about this product other than it does what you expect it too. It absolutely will keep your Zen scratch free. It's easy to get the Stone in & out of it for charging, etc..though you can connect the usb while it's in it's case. You can't access the "shuffle" switch while cased, but you just have to have it set before you put it in..The way the ring is made, you can hang it off of just about anything..Belt loop, Bike handlebar, turn signal in a car..Very convienent. If you buy a Stone (which I highly recommend) definately get this.

I bought the case at the same time as my Zen Stone, and while it's adequate for what it is, there are a couple of annoyances. First, the flap covers the LED so you can't tell if it's on or not, or check battery life. Second, the side button that switches between content folders is covered, something that bugs the heck out of me when using the Stone in my car because that's when I most often want to switch folders. Otherwise the case does a fine job protecting the unit while it gets bashed around with your keys. I probably would be happier if it were priced under $10.
