That did not help either. It still froze at the same place.

I might try one of the InvisiShields in the future, but I'm fine with the Crystal Clear Case for now.
All the best.

I'll probably cave and buy a clear case but right now I'm just like Ihatepopupads. I'm constantly trying to remember which pocket I keep my keys in.

I still recommend the clear cases, but they are indeed not without their problems. Today, I was able to remove mine with a small flathead jeweler's screwdriver. I actually attached the included belt clip, which works well, but is somewhat flimsy.

And I probably will. I'm just being stubborn. I guess I just find it annoying that there are so few accessories.

Hey, I with you. It is annoying. Nine million different things for iPods, and maybe a dozen or so for Fuzes or anything Sansa. Hopefully, that'll change in the immediate future.

Actually, there's another solution that I've been looking into. It seems Invisible Shield has designed one just for the Fuze. I've been looking around Sansa's and ABI's forums and people seem to like it. You can get it with full body coverage or just screen coverage.
I think I might have to look into this. Link

i might order the invisible shield in the future, but one of the reasons why i got the clear case was to put some velcro tape on the back. i'm really interested to hear how the invisible shield fits. actually, i just measured it again and it adds more than 50% thickness... almost 100% making it 2x thicker unless i'm measuring wrong
codeformoney, let us know how it goes

psh, you don't even need to use a screwdriver. i stick my usb cable in the connector, and since the connector doesn't go all the way in, i slightly force it in and the case pops open at that corner. lol. voila, you can now pry it open

I realized that today when I popped out my microSD card. I had to use a ballpoint pen, and when I reached in to get the card out, the case popped open at the joint. Good to know.
All the best.

Screwdriver? Ballpoint pen? 2x thicker? You realize that you guys aren't helping at all, right??? 
I'd go with Invisible Shield right now if I didn't have the coordination and dexterity of an elephant.

I'll be interested in hearing how it works out for you. I've been considering one for the Fuze and possibly the Blackberry Storm.

Is this a good enough source to use with a tube amp like the Woo 3+ and HD650s? At least for a while until I can buy a better source?
Is anyone using it with a line-out cable? If so, does it make an appreciable difference going into an amp compared with the HP output?

Can anyone tell me whether this player can read Asian characters or whether I can update the player somehow so that it can?? (mainly Korean for me)
I remember having the clip and returning it because more than half of my music title looked like gibberish

Weird. My Clip displays all the Chinese characters flawlessly, with just the original (North American) firmware... Korean requires another firmware?

Just got one. Black 8Gb + 8Gb micro SDHC. It sounds fantastic, much better than the Ipod Video 5g and a clear improvement over the Ipod+amp. Finally I can get rid of my player + amp setup!

I also got one as I have noted in several threads about this one already. Using it with my ATH-ESW10JPNs it has great synergy.
