It's far too pretty for me to let it go unprotected. =(

I need some suggestions. You guys helped me find the awesome Agent18 EcoShield for my old iPod Nano, help me find something to clothe the newest member of my audio family. =)

I don't have a A728 but I do have a A818 and I currently have the Sony hard case and I love it. Perfect fit and protection and still shows the player =)

I do wish Agent18 made a EcoShield for Sony players though, that case for the nano is very nice.

I agree completely, the EcoShield is the only good 3g Nano hard case I've ever seen.

Any silicon one is good. I bought the clear hard case, but it scratched so easily.

I'm not too fond of silicone sleeves because while hard cases scratch, silicone sleeves attract dirt, sweat and sticky like no other.

I can't seem to find the A72x/A82x hard case anywhere.

here's a cheap one on ebay:
Sony Walkman NWZ-A726 A728 A729 Clear Protector Case - eBay (item 370066321442 end time Jul-12-08 02:39:02 PDT)

or go to sonystyle.com and they have a case too.

I have found my 1.5month old 728 to have almost no scratches, though i dont mix it with keys......

Only the controls are exposed. I've yet to get it myself - little strapped for cash - LOL!!! But, the answer is yes. If I get it I'll try to post a pic.

I'm getting that crystal case. That is what all cases should be, especially when you buy a player that looks good, why cover it up with ugly silicone or overly-ornate leather?

Lol!, Fair dos mate; this hobby tends to damage wallets and bank accounts with aplomb!
That is a nice case though. If i had bee aware of it before i settled on the leather i may of opted for it.

Aethetically, I like the leather one I have. Its not bad at all, though i do see your point. Ah we're all different so why try and be the same?

Oh I've seen the leather case and I think it looks great, but I don't like the flip-top. It's also a little pricey.
