Cases for Sansa Clip.

MP3 players Sansa Clip | Clip+
1

 I am interested in buying a case for the new Clip.   One of the MP3 sites I vist showed DLO Action Jackets to fit a Sansa Clip were available at Best Buy.   THe local Best Buy store and the BB innernet site don’t indicate this.   I sent a note to DLO customer service, Alicia was back to me in less than 10 seconds(Big  Gold Star for their customer service). Alicia says they don’t produce a case now for a clip, and she is unaware of any plans to do so in the future.   Anyone know of cases available, where and how much, for the Clip. Thanks, Jim

I will have to go to my local Best Buy where I saw the case by DLO, take a picture and post it.  I know for a fact that it existed and recall being surprised it was out so soon when even cases for iPods seem to take longer which has a much larger/quicker customer base…not that it is necessarily warranted but it is a fact of market share right now.

This product is not available.  Furthermore, we are the manufacturer and no
word has came down that this product has been produced.

Subject: Action Jacket Cases availability

Dear Sir/Ms:
      Several innernet sites have mentioned DLO has produced an Action
Jacket case for the newly released Sansa Clip MP3 Player.  The report is
this is available at Best Buy.  My local Best Buy and the BB site don’t show
this item. Your web site doesn’t list it either.  Can you please advise if
there is a case available from you to protect the new Sansa Clip.  If so how
can I go about purchasing 2 of these items for my clips?  Thanking you in
advance for your information and courtesy in this matter, I remain:
Cordially, Jim     JHughes.1976@alumni.opt.uh.edu

Sibion:     Here is the note I got from DLO about the case.    I’m pretty confused.  Thanks for  shooting a photo of it.  If it’s not too much trouble could you get a bar code product # ?  That way I can request my local BB order it for me, or try to find it on BB website.  Thanks, for all your efforts, Jim

In an effort to avoid uploading too many picture and duplicating the effort here is a link to some pictures I took and loaded on anythingbutipod of the case that doesn’t exist according to the company that makes it.

Sibion:

     I had no doubt you were accurately describing what you saw.   I’ll keep bugging the local BB to see if they can get it for me.  If you go to BB any time soon, don’t make a special trip, you’ve been more than helpful enough as it is, could you get a product #.  BB says with that they can order it for me.  Another thought is to list  the phone # of your BB and I can call them and orderit with my funny money card.  Thanks for all your help.   I hope the Audiobooks thing gets worked out for you.  The Missus is using a  Zen Ston Plus with Library Audio Books in th gym to big success.   She is one happy camper vs using her Zen Touch.

You might cionsider that for a fall back plan.   Thank you again, you’ve been more than kind helping me out. Jim

Jim,

Great idea, if I am near a BB I will stop in and get the product code so others (including you) can bug BB to see how they can get you one.  You can also call the store in Bellevue, WA as that is the one that I have seen it at.

Sibion:     Thank you so much for the info.   I go nuts perusing the innernet trying to find cases for the non Ipod mp3 Players that strike my fancy.  I thought that there would never be one for the clip. I was ecstatic when I discovered your comment about one.   Now if VenZero will come out with one  for the MINI I’ll be fixed for life.   Found a Brit site which had one for the S-10 from I-River.   I can’t tell you how appreciative I am for all your efforts.   I’ll call  Washington now and see if I can get it shipped out. Thanks, Jim

Fitties:

     Thank you so much for pulling up the BB web page with the case on it.  I used the name, product number and SKU # last nite on both the BB and DLO sites.  I got a no such animal reply.  So I Emailed both BB and DLO customer Service asking them how I can get 2 for my 2 clips.  Now all I have to do is hurry up and wait.  Thank you and Sibion for doing all the leg work for me.   I was drawing a blank on the BB/DLO site, I just don’t know why.  Both of you were obviously smarter than I. Thanks, Jim

Miikerman:

     Thanks for the source. I do need a case and a charger to go with an Xmas present Clip.  The prices are better than the DLO case at BB and the Zen Stone Charger I’m using to charge my clip and Stones.  I appreciate the information and leads, Jim

eBay has a number of cases for the Clip at very reasonable prices.  Check out the link below for a direct link to a search for Sansa Clip Cases.

Has anyone tried any of the accessories for the Clip available on ebay? Just curious…

Thanks for the link for the silicone case.  With free shipping, the price is right.

It’s funny because the same case on amazon from the same company costs the same but with an added $7.50 in shipping charges.  I appreciate the link.  You saved me some money.  :slight_smile:

Well, I went ahead and bought one of the accessory bundles for sale on eBay. It was pricey at $35 including shipping, but I got alot for the money:

  • Package Includes:
  • 1xBlack Silicone Case~1.0oz
  • 1xclear Silicone Case~1.0oz
  • 1xAdjustable Armband~1.0oz
  • 1xLanyard~0.5oz
  • 1xusb Data Cable~1.0oz
  • 1xmini speaker~8.0oz
  • 1x3.5mm Audio Extension Cable~1.0oz
  • 1xCar Charger~2.0oz
  • 1xTravel Charger~3.0oz
  • 1xFinger Strap (not in the picture)~1oz
Everything is great, except for the 'finger strap' which was immediately trash-worthy. So I think the package overall is worth it, although the s/h was almost a deal breaker.

You’re more right than you know…
I shopped extensively before finally deciding on the Sansa Clip, I wanted all of the features and I didn’t want to spend a gob of money. So, to effectively spend half of what I paid for the Clip on accessories was somewhat of a splurge. But I figure the value of each piece individually adds up, and so to me, in this instance it was worth it. I hope the Clip et al… will last for a couple of three years to justify the cash spent.
