Whenever anyone gets the TPU case from AliExpress, I would love to see some pictures shared, and maybe some input on how the side buttons feel with the TPU case on the player. I find with the included stock green case, I’m always mistakenly pressing the side buttons (back, pause/play, forward) whenever I get a grip on the player. I’m thinking if the TPU case makes pressing those buttons a little less sensitive, that might be a good thing for me, personally…

Is that the same one you have?
I ordered it too. Still waiting.

But from my experience AliExpress deliveries are faster than that

Thanks! Looking good! Let me know your opinion on how the side buttons feel covered by the TPU case…are they a little less sensitive to accidental pressing?

Feel the same to me...perhaps ever so slightly harder to press. That said, never had issues with accidental pressing myself (with the green leather case)

My Dignis light brown leather case arrived today. I am very pleased, this is an awesome case!!

Looks great, feels great, smells great, perfect fit and now I can use the side buttons without looking at them. All marks checked!

looks nice!
Question: Does any of you also experience the volume knob has a little movement sideways. I thought is was less before. Is this going to be more and more till it falls out?
Yes, it has. This is my 2nd device as the first one was defective. Both had/have this little wobble on the power/volume knob. I guess It's normal and not harmful.

This is normal as the volume knob is also the power button, there is a little play since it has more than one function and direction - it turns for volume and pushes for power.

Thanks Jason for confirming. Any news when the new expected firmware will be released. I thought it would be 2 weeks ago?
I never mentioned a firmware update coming a few weeks ago. Maybe someone else did? Was hoping to have more info to share before the Lunar New Year holiday but did not get it. Hoping to have more info next week once everyone is fully back in the office.
