Guess it all depends on what keeps the a1000 attached, dimensions are quite similar...

Anyone else have any insights on my particular problem? Maybe owns a hd5 and a nw-a1000? Thanks, -D

It's actually my girlfriends birthday present, I own an iAudio M3 (Which does come with a case, grrrr) and she's sort of a baglady... Meaning that it'll be bouncing around this gigantic bag she has with keys and other nasties, it'll put any fall or other to shame within the week... Of course, it doesn't scratch like an iPod but I really dont want it to get messed up, its a beautiful player. On an unrelated note, you know the iPod is boring when even your non-techie girlfriend can't stand the lemming factor of it all. she wanted something different than an iPod. I know she'll love this purple bugger once she gets it this sunday. Edit: there are no shops in Holland that I know of right now that have a case, sony confirmed it. And the A3000 is available, quite nice too. Screen is a little more "pixelly" though, larger but not higher res. I guess.

A couple days ago I bought a my new NW-A1000, afterwards I went online to buy a case for it but I discovered there's none in Holland (The Netherlands), I thought of maybe getting one from England but the sending fees were too high. After some browsing I reached a point where I called sony themselves for an answer, the lady offered me the following: A HD5 leather flip open case for €11,99. My question is, will it fit? Does anyone know? They seem to have very similar dimensions but the case seems to have little grips to hold onto the square hd5 which might pose a problem. Does anyone know? I ended up getting it anyway, the case retails for €30 here and the sending fee alone (i know this from experience) is about €13. So I'm getting a pretty hefty discount for my hassle. I just want to know if I should backorder a case elsewhere... Thank you in advance for any help, -D
