Does a silicone case for any of the a40s work with the a50s? I just ordered my new walkman and need to find a case or cover for it but the color selection is pretty limited on the a50s

My *understanding* (translation: I don't have first-hand experience with the 40) is that the A40 and A50 series packages (i.e. Walkman outer body) are identical.

Thank you! I wanted to put on the yellow cover since I still have the yellow earphones that came with the A25HN. Going to order it nowthe answer is yes - I have tried it my self, but bear in mind you will not get ultra 100% satisfaction on the cosmetic looks since different form of side buttons and side curves.
I have been looking at comparison pictures and the A50 s look a bit slimmer because it's rounded on the edges but I'm not sure if that would make any silicone covers not fit. I've heard that the flip cases fit from A30 to A50 just fine, I'm hoping to see if anyone have had both A40 and A50 to tell me if silicone covers would work
I can't recommend to use a silicone case from A40 for A50. The geometry and buttons are different.
Have had the A40 and now the A50 and have orderned a new case to have a perfect fit.
If you can accept that the silicon case not perfectly match than you can go for an A40 case.
That is quite bizarre. It has been in mainstream Australian retail for a while now and is on the official Sony Australian site. Furthermore, a lot of the press and media around the device seems to originate from Oceania in places such as Indonesia and the Philippines and I have barely seen much Western press covering it. I suspect Sony intended to go for a worldwide release however financial circumstances hindered their marketing and as such, instead of opting for a worldwide runout they could have kept it localised to the oceanic region. This would also suggest they feel the device for all intents and purposes is too similar to the nw-a45 (which it is albeit minuscule dimensional changes, buttons, BT receiver function) to warrant such an expense and as already suggested by @kova4a perhaps they have something special planned for the 40th anniversary release that they feel could justify a worldwide marketing push.So Sony removed the A30 and A40 from the sony.com site for awhile. Hope was they would soon add the A50 but now the A40 and A30 are listed again.
Sony usually has their new DAP's listed by now so not sure what this means for availability of the A50. Sorry Sony but no news is not good news in this case and I may have to move on to the Fiio M6.
