What do you use to protect your NW-A3000 player?

Hiya guys

I've just got mine and would like to keep it pretty nice. I've seen the soft case that Sony do. But can't find it anywhere online. Everywhere has up to 2 week waiting times!!

Are there other things which you can use. i.e somthing like the ipod sock etc

Cheers

The soft case is on Amazon UK with despatch within 24 hours. I bought one from them just after Christmas and it's great.

I myself use an iPod sock which I stole borrowed from a friend. But what I really want is that leather case.. I think it's the CKM-NWA3000? It's the brown leather case.. Why isn't it available in the UK??

[Greg1982]

Yeah the CKM-NWA300 is quite nice. I saw a white one on here in the photos section but no idea where to get that from!!

As for the Ipod Sock are you using the 20gig ipod size one??

Anyone else on here using something to protect there player??

Thanks to Connect the best way i find of protecting it is by keeping it in the box it came in !!!

Seriously tho', i have a soft case and a leather case, i prefer the soft case as it isn't as 'bulky' as the leather one, only downside with the soft case is that the material 'snags' very easily.

hello

i use for the my two players the sony bags designed for them, for the NW-Hd5 this is only some textile bag and for the NW-A3000 its a pretty thin soft bag

so i bought myself a little waterproof bag designed for digital cameras, this is quite big but offers a quite good upholstery, which in my opinion is the most important thing. Thoug i use it only for "heavy duty"

greetings steve

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but thought I'd mention that I've just ordered one of these silicon protective skins for my NW-A3000:

I'll keep you posted .

These Silicon cases looks good .

I have a silicon case, two niggles I can pick with it though:

1. Doesn't protect screen

2. Hole isn't big enough to plug in USB cable, have to take off silicon case which is very inconvenient.

I've cut a bigger hole in the bottom of mine with scissors and now I'm reasonably happy, though not impressed.

3. Also, dust and dirt sticks to the silicon quite easily, I had it lying on my carpet (BIG MISTAKE).

Ironically I use the bag that the 3G iPod 'free' case arrived in. Waiting for a clear case to be sent.

I think the standard neoprene case is just about perfect - simple, cheap, cleans smears from the device when removing it, not bulky, reasonable protection. I have a remote so lackof screen visibility isn't a problem

[Tony_1961]

I've got the silicon case now, I would agree with chriswyatt that there is no protection for the screen, the hole for the USB is big enough, they must have changed the hole size already. My only other comment would be that my NW-A3000 doesn't look as pretty in its new jacket but hey, at least its protected now.
