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

3 Months ago, I shot some video of a few cases from Incipio for the second generation of the Zunes. For some reason or another, I have a whole new batch of Incipio cases, so I decided why not do another video. This time I have 7 Zune 80 Cases and 5 Flash Zune cases to show you. These can all be purchased from Incipio at MyIncipio.com

Some of these cases have even been reviewed at GotZune already too...

• [Review] Butter cream ORION Sleeve Case

Read on for the videos and check back for reviews on several of these, I have one coming soon myself.

Since the Zune 2 launched, we have seen some great items come out for the Zune 2, but there has not been a ton of cases. Belkin is changing that. Thanks Belkin.

There has been quite the absence of quality Zune 80 cases out there, but the flash Zunes ( Zune 4 and Zune 8 ) have had quite a few releases. Anyhow, I was quite excited to hear that Incipio was finally throwing down some Zune 80 cases. I have 3 Zune 80 and 3 Flash Zune cases to look at and I have recorded a couple videos to show them all to you!

Here are the cases I am taking a look at today:

• Butter Creme ORION Sleeve Case for Zune 4GB 8GB
• theDUKE Raw Leather Wallet Case for Microsoft Zune 4GB 8GB
• White Leather Flip Case for Microsoft Zune 4GB 8GB
• Black Leather Kickstand Case for Microsoft Zune 80GB
• Brown Leather Flip Case for Microsoft Zune 80GB
• VERTIGO Black Leather Holster Case for Microsoft Zune 80GB

Stephan over at I HAVE A ZUNE just posted a photo of a UZC (Unidentified Zune Case). I know that UZC's aren't supposed to be real, but this one doesn't look like a hoax. He seems to think it's the case from some unannounced gaming Zune to come... We shall see.

My Zune 30 has a gorgeous red leather case from Vaja. It is called the Vaja Balance for Zune. I emailed Vaja after I received my Zune 80 GB in November 2007 and was disappointed to find out they would NOT be offering a case for the Zune 80 GB.

Vaja has for the Zune 30 GB the following: i-volution, balance, classic, classic top, and classic top retro. For more information on the Vaja cases for Zune 30 GG visit Vaja Zune 30 GB cases

For the 4 GB and 8 GB, Vaja has the i-volution Grip and Grip with hook. For more information visit Vaja

I was hoping Vaja might change their mind an offer a case (sigh), but it looks like they are focusing on other devices.

So what are you using to protect your Zune 80? I need a case...and there isn't much to choose from!

Proporta sends word that they have new Zune 2 protection available. There is a screen protector, a leather/aluminum flip case, and a cond... I mean silicone case.

Advanced Screen Protector

• Prevents screen scratching and other damage
• Reduces glare from sunlight or bright lighting
• Can be washed and replaced
• Improves screen ‘feel’ during stylus use
• Guaranteed to be the best – if you don’t agree, we’ll refund you

Alu-Leather Case

• Includes the unique Proporta Aluminium “Screen Saver” System  (Show Image)
• Cut aways give access to ports and controls so that you can use your device in the case
• Secure magnetic clasp closure  (Show Image)
• Hand made with elegant contrast overstitching
• Case uses a C-Clip to hold device in place, whilst leaving it and the device screen on display

Silicone Case 

One of my long time partners and a great company has answered our request to start stocking Zune cases. Let's not make a liar of me. I told him that there are plenty of Zune owners looking for more case choices. There really haven't been many Zune 2 cases yet.

Cases.com has a few Zune 2 cases from PDAir up and available and quite a few Zune 1 cases now. Right now, it's mainly PDAir cases, which are good, but they will let me know when they get in some from other companies.
