Belkin Acrylic Case for Zune
Belkin Acrylic Case for Zune
Rick Broida Senior Editor
Rick Broida is the author of numerous books and thousands of reviews, features and blog posts. He writes CNET's popular Cheapskate blog and co-hosts Protocol 1: A Travelers Podcast (about the TV show Travelers). He lives in Michigan, where he previously owned two escape rooms (chronicled in the ebook "I Was a Middle-Aged Zombie").
The Belkin Acrylic Case ($29.99) delivers exactly what you want in a Zune case: protection, convenience, and a play-through design. Just pop your Zune inside the clear, seemingly indestructible shell, and it can live there permanently, thanks to a pass-through port that allows for syncing and charging. A removable pivoting clip attaches the case to your belt or props it up for photo/video viewing--a clever design. Unfortunately, the clip on our sample tended to pop loose a little too easily. Hopefully that's an isolated issue, because this case is a winner in every other respect.
