Question about NW-A3000's Cases

[Nova]

Hey.

I get really obsessive about scratches, and in order to protect my recently purchased NW-A3000 from the buggers, i want to get a case, nothing special, just something that holds the player nice and safe.

I noticed that there are 3 types of cases that sony make - A Silicon one, A Leather one, and a Simple Slip case, which i rater like.

Which one is the best, and where, perchance may i partake in the buying of one sires/sireses?

Your Pal,

Paul

I have a silicon case, it's OK, but you struggle to connect the sync lead, and it does not fit in the cradle :-) I assume these problems will also apply to the other cases. The Silicon one, I would have expected the Sony design team to take these things into considerationt thou.

Mind if i ask where you got it?

I have a leather case and a 'slip' case, i much prefer the slip, the leather one i find too bulky although it is good quality. The 'slip' case is much more 'user friendly'

I have just ordered a silicon case for the nw3000, i should be here tomorrow..I'll post my thought on it then!

So the Silicon case arrived yesterday...very nice..not to disimilar to the Iskin for the Pod!

Only problem...there appears to be no protection for the screen!!! Or am I missing a vital piece of the case?

EDIT: just contacted company that I bought the case from...there is no cover protection for the 3000! I was recommended that I buy a "screen protector" which is basically a sheet of plastic that I cut to size to fit the unit!
