...with a couple of issues. First, this case is advertised as coming with screen protectors - but it didn't. Second, the case material is quite inflexible. Whilst this is good with regards to the amount of protection it provides, unfortunately it means that pressing one button may actually operate the adjacent button too; I've found that using the power button also operates the volume-up button, though I'm hoping that with use, the case will "break in" a bit, and become a bit more flexible. Also, there's very little haptic feedback from the buttons; you can feel the click on the play button, not so much on the rewind and fast-forward buttons, and not at all on the volume and power buttons. Again, with continued use, this may change for the better. I have, though, noticed that putting the case on and off a few times has helped a bit with this issue. With regards to fitting, the case is extremely snug and secure, with no worries about it slipping off. Although there are "bumpers" on the sides of the case, they are noticeably absent on the corners, however, the case material is quite thick so should be able to handle impacts well. In the hand, the case is very smooth and not particularly grippy like some polymers; this isn't an issue for me, but if you prefer a more rubbery feel, look at the Inorlo case instead. Finally, there's no cover over the charging/data port; again, not a problem for me, but may be something to keep in mind, and if it's a deal breaker for you, the Inorlo case does have a protective flap to cover the port. If you intend to use a lanyard, expect to swear a lot while trying to fit it, though this is no different to any other case as Sony haven't made it an easy thing to attach without a case on the Walkman, let alone with one fitted. Overall, the Fat Bear is not a bad case at all, and it may well improve with use; I'm certainly not unhappy with my purchase, though at twice the price of its Inorlo competitor I would have hoped for something that required no breaking-in period and was perfect straight out of the box.

Purchased 1/3, arrived 1/19/24. Fits Walkman well, has good protection all around, fairly thick case. I like it very much, feel like Walkman is protected. Buttons all work well, like that the play button has clear tactile difference, I can easily distinguish it. Only negative is the touch panel slide button is much harder to access, due to case thickness. Can't use one handed, but it's a small issue. Very nice case overall, would give 4.5 stars if could.

Es duro de poner. Lo calenté un poco indirectamente para hablándarlo y ponerlo. Se instala insertando primero la parte inferior... protege el dispositivo...

Great case, but difficult to get on and off, it has softened a bit, but still difficult. You will probably break some fingernails, I did.First thing, the rocker switch portion was way too tight and kept adjusting the volume by itself, I removed the case and I pushed on it from the inside repeatedly with the end of a spoon stretching it and eventually it stopped changing the volume when I put it on. btw, taking this case on and off presses the power button, make sure you have it locked if you don't want to turn on your player.It comes with 2 screen protector films, which I used one while waiting on a tempered glass one to arrive, worked fine - but fingerprint and smudge city to be sure.I comes with 2 lanyards/straps - one short ,one long - neither of which I will use on the Sony - the small one won't fit around my hand, the large one will just end up getting caught on something and is too small to go around my neck and still be able to work and see the screen.But on to the case, it seems very sturdy and will definitely help protect against shock damage should I drop the Sony DAP... and if that doesn't do it, I did get an Asurion Accident Protection plan, for the cost of it vs. the cost of the NWA55, it is well worth it for 3 years. (no, I don't work for Asurion, but I did sell electronics for a long time, and all hand held electronics get dropped at least once or more times eventually)The Fat Bear Sony hard case, is a decent bargain for the money, all the buttons function properly and it does have a nice feel to the hand.I gave it only 4 stars because of the difficulty removing and putting the case on, hence the name HARD CASE I guess. I would buy again.

I wasn’t expecting much from this case but it ended up being pretty good. It’s soft but not too soft. I thought it was going to be like those soft jelly silicone case but it’s a bit more rigid than that. It definitely will protect your Walkman. I was surprised to find screenprotectors in the box along with the case. I was bummed out when I purchased some screen protectors only to find out they will get here a month after my Walkman. This case came with two of them. They are not glass screen protectors they are plastic film but still that’s waaaaay better than nothing. They’re work perfectly meanwhile I wait for the glass ones. In the box you also get a couple of different lanyards and a bunch of small “Hi Res Audio” stickers. For $15 you definitely get your monies worth in my opinion. I thought all I was getting was the case. I was happy to see they threw in some extra stuff, especially those screen protectors. The only bad thing about this case, and this might be a big one for some people, is that the case doesn’t have a cut-out for the Sd card. If you switch out sd’s often this might be annoying.

About the most difficult thing was getting the strap through ... use a needle and thread :) All of the buttons work fine and I like that they provide 2 screen protectors. This seems like a very good value and makes me feel much better especially with the strap when I'm out walking!

Very definitely recommended, and a great value for the price. I had already dinged the screen on my Walkman just prior to ordering /receiving this item.....and after I had received this kit, I wished I had learned of it before. Very straightforward and a rather trouble-free install. The screen cover was a wonderful plus, and should I mention that it comes with a tether/ detachable lanyard (neck strap) and wrist strap also? Will definitely save you the headaches if you don't already consider the benefits. A+++++

This is really a nice rugged case for the music player. Fits nice in the hand... buttons are easy to use... all ports and the switch are not obstructed at all ... micro SD card area is covered to not have to worry about losing that too.But now I don't have to worry about dropping it when I'm about and I don't need a special adapter to fit in a hole for the headphone jack or Walkman sync cable. And the price can't be beat either. Glad I picked this over some leather case or wallet case. This was the way to go.

La construcción de este es excepcional, proteje por todos lados, tiene muchos detalles extra como las calcas de High Res, y las correas para sostenerlo, así como sus protectores de pantalla, tuve suerte que me apareció la opción de compra ya que nunca hay, pero veo por qué, se han de acabar rápido, el servicio excelente, el producto excelente.
