The Fit

So how can we best describe how well the Zen
fits in this case? With three simple words...Like a glove!
You can see the right and left cutouts align perfectly and provide full access
to all buttons. The top section is only partially covered to give you
access to the headphone jack. Both the top left and top right side
are also exposed to give you access to the reset button and DC power jack.
Those with a Zen NX are probably wondering if that particular model will give
you access to the reset switch since it is located on the bottom left of the
unit. Well, I did have the pleasure of previewing a Zen NX
case as well and you'll be happy to know that they have provided a hole for
the reset button.

The screen section lines up perfectly. As
we mentioned previously, it is covered with a crystal clear plastic to
ensure that it is unobtrusive and that the screen itself is completely
legible. It is questionable, however, just how durable this plastic
piece is. It seems as though it would scratch quite easily.
Regardless, I'd rather have a few scratches on this protective
covering than dust particles inside the screen! A nice touch
indeed. By the looks of it, you can easily cut out this plastic piece if
it eventually does get scratched up to the point where it is bothersome.
Not recommended, but nice
to know the option is there.

Conclusion
I think it's safe to say that the wait is over!
This is definitely a suitable case for all Nomad Jukebox Zen and Zen NX
owners. The quality and craftsmanship is unmatched and its design and
function is truly innovative. You have full access to all functions, yet
manages to offer maximum protection. Its small footprint will please
many and the clear layer will prevent dust buildup inside the screen.
The optional "Ultra Clip" is quite practical. It is designed so that it
cannot be accidentally dismounted, yet you can effortlessly remove the device
with a simple twist and press of a button. As with all their products,
you have many custom colors and options to choose from and they can even be
personalized, which will make great gifts. Now all this quality comes at
a price. Luckily, VAJA has various
models to choose from including a low
cost option. They range between $35 and $55.
