Not bad. I might get this over the silicone case.

They also have the Jam Jacket (a silicone case)>> [Linky][cart

Oh cool, I'll re-edit this news to add it. Don't know why I didn't see when browsing their online catalogue.

Any news on when it'll arrive at stores?

the white one looks sweet

The white Jam Jacket looks pretty cool. Action Jacket doesn't really do anything for me.

agreed Six, I like the Jam Jacket too..

Action Jackson...errrr... Jacket..... not so much.......

i like what it says under the jam jacket
* Soft, gripable silicone case for your Criative Zen Vision: M

they have truly superior spelling skills

Tried to buy it. Their web site is not working properly (on Saturday 5/6). It placed 35 items in my shopping cart when I tried to buy the $29.95 case and then when I removed all but the one I ordered and clicked checkout it gave me the error: "this shopping cart has already been submitted and is pending approval."

Oh well. I guess they need to get their programming staff out of bed and fix the site.

Wow, that sounds ... really awesome BobP ...

I had the same thing happen as BobP did. Hopefully it will be in stores soon

UPDATE: I just ordered the Action Jacket. The problem I have with silicone is that it gets dusty easily.

I think whomever provided the link above has their cookie on the site and it is adding to the cart each time one of us tries to go on there and buy.

I did the same thing and got a $ 619 total! LOL!

Go directly to [Linky] and then click on products > then Vision:M case of your choice > Buy
It will give you the correct amount and quantity.

the Action Jacket is at Best Buy (B&M) here in northern Virginia...

If someone gets either of these (or even has a camera with them at the store) could you post a review and pics? Im particuarly interested in the belt clip/arm band quality and how much you think the cover will help with drops. And yes, I did just break my current M by dropping it on a hardwood floor.

Alright, the links above were fixed. They did have some sort of cookie from the original link that was posted in the forums. I'll be checking my local best buy soon, and seeing if I can get one. If I do I'll post pics and a little review.

Does the case protect the screen?

got mine yesterday at best buy.
Nice tight fit, it does have a plastic cover over the screen and on the upper sides of the scroll bar.
On the bottom of the case it has a velcro closer, no problem charging the ZVM.
My two problems:
Can't see the nice blue lights, (don't know why I like this but I do);
On top, the on-off-lock switch is covered. Does not prevent me from turning the unit on or off but I do like to see the blue light go on. Im not sure if you can cut it out or not.
Hope this helps : ) I have been going nuts trying to find a good case.

Sorry, Action Jacket is the one I have. And the only one at Best Buy : (

Sorry again, Im very new at this.
third problem is the Mic is covered.

Hey, anyone know what colours area available for both jackets? Can't find anywhere to choose a colour on the site. Thanks!

Yeah I was looking for different colors as well. For now, I thnk this is all that they have. *shrugs*

I might get that Action Jacket now. With the option of switching out to be both an armband, and belt clip, that's exactly what I was looking for in a holder/case, especially since I do a lot of running and gym weights.

yeh. i was thinking the same cal_bear. for the fact it allows for that option. I was thinking of getting the pdadden one but I am not sure whether the back clip comes off or not... not a fan of the silicon DLO tho.

By the way, I think they need to update the title on their pages. the main page for the action jacket says zen micro and the pop up picture has the word Ipod 4g.

"Play-thru, screen protecting design"
Can someone tell me what this is. Does that mean it has a screen protector on there. I cant see it in that pic of theirs. Just wondering because it wont worry me to much since I will be putting a BSE on mine.

Can someone who has got one, please take photos of it please

the "Play Through" feature probably means the portion of the case that covers the buttons: the silicon is soft enough that you will still be able to click on the buttons (but for that matter my leather forza case is soft enuf as well)...

as for the screen, the protection is probably meant to be separate from the play-thru aspect, since there's nothing about the screen you can play.

hmmm..either there's a clear plastic covering over the screen area (similar to the forza) that you cant see in the above photos, or they are just refering to the fact that there is a ridge of the case bordering around the screen, which may help cushion the screen if it comes into contact with something hard.

I heard that those see through screen protectors tend to stick to BSE or IS... is that right? I have the BSE on mine now and it works great as a protector as it is already for the screen.

I LIKE I LIKE!

Its in Best Nut right now and then it will be in Fry's with in a month.

Wish they had at least one of these in pink ... I do really like neoprene cases ... had one for my old iPod 4G and I used that one the most. I saw this case (the neoprene one) at BB last night and it is really nice looking ...

I just bought this jacket at Best Buy and so far I'm not happy with it. My Zen starts acting erractically with the case on (won't respond to tapping on the scroll pad, mostly). Not having direct access to the on/off/lock switch is problematic as well. I'll give it another day before returning it.
