This review covers Incipio's first zune 4/8 silicone case, the dermaSHOT. Incipio currently has a much more vast selection of leather based cases, but i'm glad to see they've branched to silicone as well. The review for this case will be fairly simple, being it's a silicone case, but i'll try to cover just about everything you could need to know.

Tight fitting anti-slip case for your Zune. The Incipio dermaSHOT silicone case is curved to the shape of the Zune so that you can access all the device's features.

Features

• High density silicone.
• Play-through design for full function while in case.
• Anti-static coating grips the device, not your clothes.
• Shock absorbing silicone helps protect against damage.
• Cut-outs give easy access to controls and inputs.
• Backed by Incipio's Lifetime warrant

One of the 1st things that anyone needs to do when spending a decent amount of cash for a gadget is to protect it. Cases, cleaners, screen protectors, etc... When the Zune 80 hit the streets, there really were not many options other than the "Zune Branded" Black case. Now that some time has passed, there are more and more cases becoming available. One of them is the Incipio Flip Case I am presenting today.

This classic design offers great access and excellent protection. Your Zuneâ„¢ has to be ready for today's fast paced world. The Incipio Flip case is up to the task. The Flip case is made of premium supple leather on the outside and soft micro-suede lining.

Features

• Made of high-quality, premium Top-Grain Leather
• Easy access to all buttons and features
• Clear shield protecting the screen
• Backed by Incipio's lifetime warranty

First Impression's: This case looks very nice, as it's nearly completely leather, and is strong and sturdy as well. Black is the base color throughout the case, with clean white stitching and a silver Proporta logo/magnet clip.  It's a fairly simple design; just a  leather flip case that holds the zune in place using two clip-like side pieces. To close the upper flap, a strap is used with a magnetic connector(as can be seen below). While in use this case leaves the earphone jack exposed, and the majority of the side of the zune. Unfortunately the strap does cover the sync cable, but you can easily unstrap the case to charge.

First Impression's: As you can tell, this is a bit different from the previously reviewed case, because it is in fact a sleeve case. It seems to work the same as any other sleeve/sock case, but offers a bit more protection because of it's leather material. The stitching is nice and clean, and the base color is used throughout the case with a slightly darker felt-like interior. Aside from the dotted pattern along the exterior, the only other design is the word Incipio imprinted near the bottom, and the Incipio logo on the pull tab. The current "butter cream" color definitely isn't my favorite though, but it's available in Green, Pink, White, and Burnt Orange as well.

Side stitching is nice and clean

First Impression's:  To begin with, this case is very similar to the previously reviewed,  White Leather Flip Case , so it packs many of the same features, just with a different style. As you can see below,  it is a brown leather case(although also available in white leather), with a clean white stitching. What can't be seen on the outside is the contrasting pink stitching in the interior of the case border, and the interior of the zune slip-in section. The pink stitching looks interesting, but overall this case has a bit more of a "rustic" feel than the white leather flip, and looks a lot like a wallet ( as stated in the name).

Sync cable and Earphones easily accessible.

Everyone needs a case at some point for their phone or player right? Well, most people want to do this in style, so they toss the case that comes with their device aside. (If a device even comes with one) Enter the need for aftermarket cases. In the case of the Microsoft Flash Zunes, DLO has you covered already. They recently announced the HipCase for the Zune 4gb and 8gb flash players.

Constructed of fine-quality leather and featuring a soft, green fabric interior, HipCase is the easiest way to protect your Zune in style. HipCase's design gives you full screen protection, with play-through access to your Zune controls, as well as total access to the connector port – which means you can plug in and sync your Zune without having to remove it from your HipCase.
