The case is quite nice in the looks & quality department and my Sansa e270 fits into it just fine. No problems with the seller & it arrived quickly. For some people that might be enough, so I gave it 3 stars. Unfortunately, it's not very practical because it's a royal pain when actually using the MP3 player so I don't even bother with it anymore.

The biggest problems, incidentally, are actually caused by the quality of the case. That was a new lesson for me, that an apparent step up in quality might cause several steps down in the functionality of a product. It's the thickness of the leather that I'm talking about. It's not clunky thick and has a great feel before you start to use the Sansa but the first problem will be noticeable as soon as you turn the Sansa on. It's much harder to press the power button (in particular) as well as the left/right/down controls (I find the wheel is a little to sensitive & I have a harder time controlling it that way) due to the ridges created by the thickness of the leather case being right next to the buttons. The quality of the leather also creates another problem which may be more serious & that's the space it causes between the clear screen protector with a free edge at the bottom and the screen itself, allowing dirt, pet hair, lint, etc. to collect in between the protector and the actual screen, thereby completely ruining the purpose of the protector for anything but fingerprints and possibly even causing more scratches than otherwise might occur. Finally, the plastic screen protector, which dulls very quickly, greatly reduces visibility (I download a few movies to my Sansa to watch during the long wait at the airport as well as during the flight when traveling by air).

I don't use this case at all anymore. Now I keep my Sansa and all of it's accessories together in a digital camera sized bag and I'm considering a silicone sleeve for protection during use. Anyone want to buy a slightly used version of this product at a discount?
