Product Reviews

This would be a great deal at 10 bucks

Fits well and does what it should. I was expecting more because of the price. This would be a great deal at 10 bucks. A good buy at 20 bucks. A so-so deal at 30 bucks. At twice that it might be better to wait for something else or adapt something to work.

Darn near perfect protective cover.

Overall it has excellent quality of materials and workmanship. It fits the DP-X1 perfectly. It has a large cutout for the volume knob permitting easy access. All ports are accessible except the micro-SD slots are covered. I think that’s a smart move to protect the SD slots.The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star review is one issue. When using the Onkyo Music Player app full screen, it uses a slider on the right edge to let you quickly scroll up and down. However the right edge of the cover is so close to the edge of the screen that it makes it difficult to get your finger on the slider. It can be done, but it’s awkward.

Some case is better than no case…?

I agree with some of the other reviewers here. This is a product that should have been included with the player itself rather than having to purchase it after the fact. Also, for what you’re getting it definitely seems overpriced, but from what I could see, it is almost the only game in town when it comes to protecting the dp-x1a. I saw another option which was even more expensive, approaching around 20 to 25% of the actual player cost, which seems ridiculous.I guess the only pro to this that I can see is that it does protect most of the back of the unit and some of the sides, and part of the bezel while leaving all of the ports and buttons exposed for use. I added a screen protector since the case doesn’t have an included cover either. Together with the protector, the unit does feel mostly secure with the case on.While I do appreciate the easy access to the ports and buttons, I would like to have had more material covering more of the unit. The top of the unit is completely exposed since you have to slide the player into the case and the side buttons are completely exposed rather than having material covering the space between the buttons. The same is true of the bottom for the USB port, meaning that roughly half of the right side and roughly half of the bottom of the player are unprotected. So, if you drop the player at just the right angle, you could scratch or damage those unprotected portions. And again, with the top completely exposed, your regular 3.5mm and 2.5mm balanced ports are exposed to potential debris, water, etc.In the end, as many others have done though, I bought this case, because I felt that something would be better than nothing and adding the on screen protector has for me made it a fairly solid if not completely fulfilling purchase. So, since 2 stars is I don’t like it and 4 stars is I like it, I’m going with a 3 star rating of it’s ok.

Was hoping for better.

Picture a cheap case for your phone, no cheaper. Now imagine paying over $50 for it, that’s how I feel. I mean it’s a case but it feels cheap and it doesn’t have any texture to it so it can slip easily. I know it’s an oddball player but I wish there was a better option that wasn’t so expensive.
