X7 Accessories - LC-X7A Leatherette Cover & PF-X7 Asahi Glass

 
Hi team.  Received a small pack from Fiio this week and thought you guys might be interested.

---

First up the LC-X7A leather case:
(as usual - click individual images for 1200x800 full size photo)
 

Retail box front​	Retail box rear​	The leather case from the left​

 
Comes in Fiio's now usual red and white retail case.  Front has a standard window, rear just has product info and 2D barcodes. Case is made of dual layer composite leatherette, with a leather grain texture on the outside and an inner felt lining for protection.  It's only if you look at it really closely that you realise its a synthetic leather - really well made and looks like the real thing.
 

And from the right​	The underside​	With the X7 inserted​

 ​

They've gone to great detail, because it even looks like it is fully stitched (it's not - but has that appearance). The cut-outs for ports, and controls are immaculately presented, and very uniform, and everything fits perfectly.  It's also a pretty snug fit - just slide from the bottom - but no hint of slipping once inside - feels really firm.
 

Bottom - with easy access to USB port and headphone socket​	Right side​	Top and line-out socket​

 
For those wanting to protect the micro SD card, the case completely covers the port and effectively seals it. With the X7 pushed all the way in, there is a very slight overhang of the case at the bottom which means the exposed bottom end is also protected against possible knocks. The case also gives a couple of mm protection over the display surface for protection.
 
All-in-all it provides everything you'll need for protecting your investment, and looks pretty classy at the same time.   I couldn't find it on Amazon quite yet - but it is showing on Fiio's Ali-Express Store for the princely sum of USD 14.99.  Totally worth it.  Penon Audio are also showing it now for a USD 19.00

And also - the Asahi Glass screen guard (PF-X7)
 

Retail case​	Rear with application instructions​

 
Comes in a white box with red highlights and pic of the X7.  On the rear is the installation instructions / diagram. Opening the box reveals two separate packs - one with preparation tools (alcohol wipe, lint free cloth, and a blue application pad (which I didn't actually use).  The second pack holds the Asahi Glass protector.
 

2 packs - installation tools and actual Asahi Glass​	Both packs opened​

 
Application was easy.  Peel off old protector, and wash screen thoroughly with the supplied wet-wipe.  Then dry completely with the lint-free cloth.  Next remove the Asahi Glass protector screen, and peel the protective layer off. Grasp by the edges and very carefully line up and insatll on the X7 - simply by carefully laying it down.  Press in the middle to remove bubbles, and then let it "self-install".  Wipe firmly with the cloth again, and then you are good to go.
 

Asahi Glass installed - less than 5 minutes - easy​	Fully protected X7 - case and glass.​

 
Fiio says that it is dust proof, scratch proof, waterproof and finger print resistant. You do get a few smears from a lot of handling, but a heck of a lot better than the old plastic type screen protectors. I can't even really tell that it is there visually, but it is keeping the screen a lot cleaner, and doesn't seem to have affected the navigation at all.  Still really responsive.
 
The PF-X7 is available from Amazon at $8.00 + freight ($5), or again from Fiio's Ali-Express store ($10)
 
Thanks to Sunny for getting these to me.  Highly recommend both accessories.
