jazzist Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) The 818 and 808 are physically identical in every way, so yes, the 808 case will fit the 818. I just checked the eBay link, and it's the same place I got my 808 clear hard case from!!!Thank you Can you comment on what the clear case does to display/video quality? I imagine reflections etc.. so am preferring leather or silicone at the moment.Thanks. Edited November 5, 2007 by jazzist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juli_ Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) Thank you :)Can you comment on what the clear case does to display/video quality? I imagine reflections etc.. so am preferring leather or silicone at the moment. Thanks.The display is very clear beneath the cover. Photos, videos and album art look really nice. I actually prefer the look of it with the case on. Don't get the silicon one unless you're not worried about the screen - it doesn't cover the screen so you'd have to buy one of those screen protectors (which doesn't protect it from anything except fingerprints). I had one and returned it the same day.It's really easy to access all the functions through the clear case as well. 2 weeks ago, my 808 took a crash to the ground and it would have been smashed to pieces if the case hadn't been on, also would have been smashed if I'd been using the silicon one!I've attached a photo - ignore the colour and picture quality completely. It is displaying perfectly in Photobucket, but as soon as I attach the link and then view it, it turns BLUE?? Plus it blurred as well, but I thought you could at least get an idea of how it looks inside the case. Believe me, album art looks beautiful on it, anyone can confirm that.http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee266/s...q_photo/808.jpg Edited November 6, 2007 by juli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffster115 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Seems like I'm the only one who purchased the plastic shell case Here's some pics I took of it. Overall this case is great, there's just two parts that snap together.My only issue is the dust that manages to get inside. Meh! I'd rather have dust than scratches, right?I just got this polycarbonate case too! Looks GREAT! Here's a quick question though: I suppose you can't use the player in the case with the BCR-NWU3 cradle/dock right? I'm assuming if it's possible one would not have to use the circular plastic dock insert that came with the player, since it doesn't accomdate the player with the case.I'm doubting it, looking at how the case along the bottom isn't completely flush with player. Just wondering or maybe someone can correct me? Edited November 13, 2007 by cliffster115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dremelis Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Today I purchased a leather carrying case from The Sony Center in Tottenham Court Road London, for 20 GBP. They told me that they will be getting a delievery tomorrow so if you don't like this, there will be other types availble. The silver ring is like key ring that buckles to your trouser loop. Please excuse the picture quality, as they were taken with my V3 Motorrola mobile phone.This is a nice leather case. What is the model number/name for it? I want to find it online. Does anyone know where I can purchase it online? I live in the U.S., so I need to find a place to buy it online because my Sony store does not carry it and they do not have it on sonystyle.com here. My A816 is on the way (I just ordered it yesterday), so I gotta get a nice case fast! Thanks for your help!dremelis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
