i use the J3 jelly case from exportprive.com
horrible shipping. like 20 days for it to come but i am very pleased.
i dont like those silicone cases and i had the official plastic case. i grabbed the jelly case cause i heard it was transparent
 
And yes it was transparent.
i am very pleased with it since it shows the nice aesthetics of the j3
 
Edit: Seems that the jelly case have gone out of production
Sucks. i love and i would recommend this jelly case
 
I also have the Realook screen protector.

the official protector that i originally had was scratched badly due to my re0's
 
So i gave into the marketing of these and bought a set of them.
 
So far so good. i cant complain but if there is better i would also like to hear.

I just bought some cheap ipad screen protector that was like a dollar or two and cut them to fit the J3 screen. I currently don't have any case but have a clear case coming in the mail and if I don't like it I'll end up with a ringke silicone case.

try rearth ringke silicon case, they're quite good and as for the screen protector i have no idea. the rearth also supply the screen protector but i don't know if its good or not.

anyway in music option there is a "pitch correction" may i know what this function for?

pitch correction works when you change the playback speed. for example instead of having a higher pitched sounds when at a higher speed, it brings it back to its normal pitch.

Those ringe cases look nice? In my eyes, they look very bad in pictures because the way the cover all the device except from the screen, highlights the big margins without screen. Also looks like a plastic toy. in real life they look better?

thanks for your reply, it seems to be a function that i will not use anyway

I ordered one of these from Amazon today with overnight shipping. I am looking for an upgrade over the SQ of my 2G Touch. Gapless FLAC support and the famous Cowon EQ pushed me to spend the extra $100 over the s:flo2.

I'd buy the J3 right away, but as it is I'm torn between it and the S9 ...
 
I can't help it - the S9 chrome looks better in my eyes. Way better. And I find it very confusing that Cowon release two players that do about the same things in such a short period of time.
 
Can someone help me? I like the S9's design A LOT more (from the pictures I've seen, bit worried about the reviews claiming it to feel 'plasticky' - is the J3 better in this regard?) but if the J3 really is here to replace it then I guess I should go with it instead, regardless of what I think of its design. Both are good-looking players, but the S9 simply looks ... better. In my eyes; I haven't found anyone else preferring the S9's design over the J3.
 
What should I do?

Get the J3. It has a better, more responsive user interface, it hisses less with difficult to drive low-impedance phones, the buttons are much more ergonomically placed, it plays AAC with less hassle than the S9, and it has a MicroSD slot. It also feels less plasticky than the S9 and looks/feels better in reality than on photos, in my opinion.

 

[tarcalion]

*sigh* I guess you are right. I know I won't be disappointed with such great features, but as I'm throwing away a round $300 on it I'm anxious to make the right choice. I'll settle for the J3.

i bit the bullet and decided to get me a j3

just upgraded its firmware to newest 2.23, seems the battery meter still doesn't feel accurate.

 

[rawrster]

The battery meter is in intervals of 25%. I don't really worry about it until it gets to 25% and from there I have at least a day's worth of use so I'll charge it after that.

yeah it seems fine that way, but if it more detailed it would be great

as the spec says, the battery really is a monster its been a week from the first full charge and its just drop 1 bar.

For people who have used this player with an amp, what volume setting works best on the player?

 

[dfkt]

The J3 has no distortion at maximum volume when played flat, so this is the best volume for driving an amp. When you use a lot of EQ and BBE, I'd go down to volume 35 or so, just to stay on the safe side - although that might be too cautious on my part.
