Tuff-Luv Slim and Lite Silicone Skin Case Cover for Sandisk Sansa Clip – Black
Sleeve is a good fit fo the Sansa Clip+ (the version with the MicroSD slot).
The case slips in behind the close fitting clip of the Clip+.
Only vaguely fits the original Clip, as the volume and power slider end up in the wrong place – Mini USB and 3.5mm jack cutouts still good though. Kind of makes an original Clip look like a Clip+, if you’re into that sort of thing (weirdo).
One thing to note – a lot of folks use the Clip with audiophile headphones – the 3.5mm jack cut-out might cause problems with larger jacks on proper ‘cans’ since the cutout is only about 5mm wide – could prevent bulky jacks being inserted fully.
Some might argue that it’s a little bit rich to put a case on a player as small, cost effective and shockproof as the Sansa Clip+ but I like to protect this awesome little player from the wear and tear it incurs following me around and singing in my ears. My original Clip looks like it has been rubbed vigorously with sandpaper.
Deducting a star for the fact that there is a little bit of a rough molding line ‘lip’ around the edges of the cut-outs and between the front and back halves which make it look a bit cheaper than it needs to – overall though the matte black silicone gives the player a nice “ninja” effect… (what a sad man I am).
If you’re looking at it and considering it then I’m in good company though.

The case is very well made and fits the player like a glove. I use my clip+ at work and it as provided good protection so far. Do bear in mind that the screen is uncovered so if this a problem you might want to fit a screen protecter.

My one reservation is the asking price which seems a bit high for what it is but having said that, it does protect the Clip+ from wear and tear. Once you’ve slipped it over your Clip+, it should be pretty well protected. As a previous reviewer pointed out, the screen is left unprotected, so you may like to consider a protective film (I haven’t bothered and it’s all fine so far). As a fellow ‘sad man’ like another previous reviewer, I like the ‘ninja’ stealth look of the thing! (quote): ‘How much more black could it be?’ answer ‘None more black’ (unquote). It has a sexy feel to it (so perhaps the price is worth it after all!). No, you can’t see the symbols very well but there’s only 6 buttons anyway so after a while, it all becomes second nature.
Would I buy another? Probably, it fits well, looks neat, does the job and feels great!

If you are looking at this item you probably own that great little mp3 player, the Sansa Clip+. Unfortunately that means you have very little choice if you want a case for it. If you owned an I-p*d then you could pick up a case made of exactly the same material and of equal quality to this for a pound from any pound shop (some even have them at 3 for a pound) but because the Sansa is far less common you have to pay a premium.
The case is thin, unnattractive rubber and very expensive for what it is, but there aren’t a lot of alternatives. My case also went a sort of grey colour very quickly and looks far worse than the Sansa does uncovered, but as far as doing what it is intended to, the only problem is the lack of protection for the screen.

Keeps the Sansa Clip protcted well but still allows full use of the controls. However these aren’t very visible so you’ll have to have had experience of using the Clip uncovered first.
