This case is a must for anyone who treasures their music collections and devices as much as I do. First, it looks great! But it also protects the player if dropped or tipped over. The case's leather is a substantial density but still sleek enough to fit comfortably into a pocket or small space in your handbag. The kickstand keeps the player upright on your desk when using it while working and the back of the kickstand has a very substantial belt clip on it. The kickstand also snaps tightly into place when not being used. There is also a sturdy silver ring at the top of the case should you want to clip it onto your belt or bag that way or maybe even wear it around your neck on a chain. This item comes in a great variety of great colors, too. You can mix or match with your player's color to suit your own style.
