Just letting you guys know that if you're looking to get the clear case from Sony - MP3 Players - Digital Music Players - Walkman - Audio Accessories - MP3 Player Accessories - Sony Style Canada

I can sell one 15 dollars shipped. It's been used for a week, moderate scratches on the back and minor micro-scratches on the front. I've decided it's better I get a silicon skin.

I just got a A728 today after much reading. the sound is really full with supplied earphones. with my Im716 it sounds really thin and weak (it might be faulty earphone).

anyhow, i expected this thing to be a bit more heavier. it feels like a soup cracker. it does not have much customization nor features (i like the sound quality very much). It would be really cool if this little guy had a higher resolution screen.

my initial impression: feels and looks cheap, good sound.

Same with Zune. MS and Sony, no line outs. Stinks (and I own both). But my Creative Zen Vision M has it, and it does sound great with the Minibox.

anything but cheap. thanks to sony the DAP is light yet duruble - screen cover and alloy all around are the key features.

i thought customisation in terms of SQ is quite user friendly - did you mean anything in particular?

320x240 resolution on 2.4 screen is quite high pixel density. i see little reason for VGA screen in such DAP.

Completely agree, I find the build quality very good and the design attractive. Everyone I have showed it to has agreed on this. A am a "gadget freak" and this one is one of the nicest ever. It's simple but what it does, it does extremely well.

The resolution is standard and unless you want to watch many movies not important.

You can customize the sound to death if you wish and alter some basic ways the interface looks. I agree there are not many advanced options, no games or custom themes and screensavers etc.
But tbh my previous players had this and I never used it.

This player turns on right away, has very high SQ and navigation is a breeze.

Just got the clear case. Not sure if pictures have been posted of the black Sony in the clear case, so here are some. Also some of the soft pouch I have, fits like a glove.
