Covers for Player 5

[Deleted User]

Hi

My nephew got a player for his birthday and I am struggling to track down a suitable cover that will protect protect it from accidental drops etc when he's using it i.e not a flip one or a sleeve.

Can any one recommend a cover/case?

I use a silicone cover made by Ringke called Rearth on my SGP5. I also have a Zagg screen protector on the glass. I doubt it would save me from a drop on concrete, but I didn't want a case that added a great deal of size so I could continue to put it in my pocket. The cover fits perfect and covers the power and volume switch with a well fit dimple for easy use. I'm still nervous about a serious drop because it is not extremely thick.

I went to Youtube and found some videos of people that evaluated several types and settled on this one. You might want to do the same. This forum will likely be a lot of help also.

If you decide on the Rearth be sure to get the one that is "Improved". I've read that an early batch was defective and some didn't fit well. I bought mine off Amazon and am delighted with it. Just thick enough to add a little protection.

Riot outfitters makes a case (one of the only cases available)
They are about the best cases you are going to find for these devices.
They are available at best buy.

Thanks guys .... unfortunately I am based in Rep of Ireland and those cases don't seem to be available over this side of the world.

I'll just have to take him to the local electronics store and see if we can find one that fits from the satnav type ranges etc
