i contacted zcover who makes the iskin type things after someone posted that the x5 was a target product, and they replied the x5 20gb but ive emailed them twice about the thicker x5L specifically and havent heard anything in reply.

i also want a silicone case with a belt clip and the zcovers look great, but give us the x5L case!

Yup, just got mine today. Its Fantastic. Still not sure if I should use the big screw or small screw for the beltclip?

I had this case:

http://www.caselogic.com/mp3_music_s...?modelid=44256

The case itself is very well padded, zippered, with a hole for the headphone wire. The X5L fit inside as long as your headphones have the 90 degree bent plug. I never used the arm band part but it seemed sturdy enough. The waist belt was the best part. It had spots for extra storage and was very comfortable.

Edit: Also, there was a small elastic netting pocket inside the case itself, but I don't think it could be used for anything practical with the X5 inside.

Well Jeff e-mailed me the same day saying he would send me the screw. That's what I call customer support.

Jeff rules!!!

And The Axledental DJ you're suppost to use the small screw if you want to attach the belt clip.

I have 2 cases:

- MisticAudio -
Very nice case - well made and thought out very nicely, but I don't know how much I will be using it. For portable use I prefer a silicon case because silicon will give me the feeling that my X5L will never slip out of my grip. And if I am using it on a desktop I do not have to worry as much about it getting pushed or pulled off the surface. Also, less bulk than leather. I look forward to the zCover case.

- Timbuk2 - http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/catalog/c...?categoryId=13
I use this case for transport in my backpack. Very well made ballistic nylon with a very plush interior, perfect fit due to elasic sides, and can be used portably with either straight or right-angle headphone plug. It also has a nice little pocket in front to accommodate the subpack and my Sharp MD33 earbuds.

thx for the response. ill probably get that one or this one http://shoptronics.com/boglipmp3pln.html just trying to figure out which one looks better. ive also heard that the armband for http://www.caselogic.com/mp3_music_s...?modelid=44256 is really loose and comes off sometimes... what do you think?

I have the same case, i used the elastic netting pocket on the inside for my gym membership card (id's and cc's fit too) Plus, the case doubles as my canon sd500 case q=) (versatility rocks)

rockenduoblez,

do you ever use the armband? and if so, is it really tight and secure? would you recommended it? thx

BoSox · 07-21-2005, 19:02

I don't like the X5L Misticaudio case. It makes my X5L too big to hold in my left hand and still be able to hold my fingers on the play/pause button and joystick. It is a good case, but just too big.

siempre fresco · 07-21-2005, 22:00

would anybody be an interested in a case with a pouch for the cradle? im in the process of getting some samples made. depending on interest shown i will go forward with a larger production run.

i welcome all feedback, suggestions or ideas.

a case with a pouch for the subpack maybe, not the cradle. otherwise it will be way too bulky to be portable anymroe.
