I too mentioned that several months ago early in this thread just after I got mine.  I couldn't seat some of my phones.  Turned out they just needed a lot more force than I was used too.  Now with over 4 months usage I have no fears about build quality to include these jacks.

Good to know, this thing puts on the Vulcan Death Grip!

Just got the X3.
I really like it and I think it's comparable than Fiio X3 1st gen. Maybe even better, but I need few more sessions with it.
 
Main let down? The leather case: how the hell could you make a case totally open on one side, which let the player fall out every time you take it out of your pocket ? Did anybody found a creative solution to close the case on top?

Yes, this player could really use a good for fitting case ...

I used the white protective foam that comes with the leather case to fill up the space between the device and the case. It fits snugly now at least wont fall out if you turn it upside down. But need to hold the top every time I put my headphone jack in. PS. I cut the white foam in a 5cm (L) x 1cm (W) x 1mm (T) and fit it on the left inner side of the case and slide it in with X3.

We all feel this pain!  I was just holding mine in my hand when it slipped right out of the case.  If the headphone cable wasn't plugged in it would have hit the floor for sure.  I've abandon'd that crapy fake leather case for a small camera case.  Ugh and I've tried doing what BoB did and the outcome was not nice.  I would post photos but its worse than the miniature cases that i made with the printer.
 
 I need a screen protector that works.    
 
I've totally abandoned Rock Box and I'll try it again when its not in Beta.  My biggest problem is I can't create the default sound that come out of the box.  Has anyone been able to replicate the signature default sound in RockBox?

Anyone Try these screen protectors ?

Still waiting for new firmware for fixing current problem of X3 
 
to me pitch issue is not noticable, 
 
i concern most about the 1st-2nd seconds skipping bug at start of playback , this is annoying...

Agreed. This, disconnecting when copying via USB, and auto shutoff during media library update are the only real problems that need fixing.

Hi,
I have just received silver version X3.
Display is almost invisible during daylight (in room), black screen on it is too dark even with highest brightness.
Does somebody changed this black screen for something more transparent?

What do you mean "changed the screen"?

 

[lukas12p]

  What do you mean "changed the screen"?

I mean OLED protector, cover, part of case, on which some people put screen protector.

 

[rdaneel]

The case is essentially transparent.  Do you think that the plastic is so dark that it is preventing you from seeing the screen?  This is just the way it is.  It's a $100 player, I think you just have to accept the limitations of the screen technology.

I guess You are right, but maybe someone has checked it and can confirm.
I used some of those cheap oled displays in my projects and this one is just too dark.

Someone tried to remove the screen and managed to get brighter screen on this russian forum: http://player.ru/showthread.php?t=157050&page=185
 
"Glass is completely toned three are not three that does not work. Yesterday I made ​​a completely clear out of the box for the CD. Brightness at times grew, today verified when the sun peeped outside, all perfectly readable. At work it took less than an hour, the protective film used as a template, glued to the polycarbonate, snapped stationery. knife around the edges, refined nailnikom, glued to the back of the black adhesive tape for the frame, installed a new "glass" on the double-sided tape. Native glass keeps very tight, I recommend to heat the body of the player before removing the lighter. It looks a little collective, but it was worth it."" (translated via Google)

Looks like the screen from an old Clip. haha!
The x3's screen is really darn dark, but i hope it doesn't drain much power for that reason.
