Review: Fortte Leather Zune cases Print E-mail
Written by Kostas Tzounopoulos   
Tuesday, 27 February 2007
Fortte Leather cases for ZuneFortte sent Zune-Online two of the three leather cases they have released for Zune. The "Carrier" in red and the "Open Face" in black. These are two worth notice cases, functional and high quality.The customer can select among many colors leather of different quality, belt clips and "metallic emblems"...

 

 

Fortte Carrier Case

Zune in inserted from below in the Carrier Case. When inside the user has full access to the sync cable and earphones plugs, as well as to the "hold" switch. The screen remains uncovered just like the 5-directions pad but the 2 buttons right and left of it are not. This isn't reducing its functionality, the buttons can be pressed just fine, because of the "signs" at their location on the case and the thinner leather covering them. The case doesn't have a closing clip, it remains always "open" (at the bottom of Zune) but its not easy to drop it while carrying it. The reason is it has a belt loop instead of a belt clip and Zune is carried upside down.

As you can see in the photo I have inserted the end of the belt through this loop. The correct is to pass the belt through the loop while wearing it and not its end. This reduces the case's functionality (you have to remove your belt if you want to unsuspend the case!) but its very difficult to drop your Zune, even if running or jumping!

Finally it has a leather "clip" at the right side which opens. It is enough firm to suspend the case from it but of course less safe.

Fortte Open Face Case

The other Fortte case sent for review is the "Open Face". It has minor differences from the "Carrier", the same quality and has good access to plugs, screen and control buttons. Their main difference is the classic belt clip used here and the "closing clip" for securing Zune in the case.

Fortte offers the choice of customisation to its customers:

  • There are many available leather colors.
  • Dual colored leathers for both cases
  • 3 different leather qualities
  • Personalization by writing a word or placing an image/logo
  • 3 available Fortte-logo "metal Shields" for the back of it. 

The overall impression is very good for both cases. You can fearlessly customise and buy the one that fits you best.

Their price starts at $29.99 USD and can go up to $74.99 (when the most expensive options are used)
