 Noreve joined the group of Zune Accessory constructors by releasing a high quality leather case for Zune. Based in Saint-Tropez, France, they sure keep in mind fashion and style while creating a very practical case...
| Noreve's case has a soft feeling and the scent of the top quality handcrafted leather they use for their products.
It has has a double front cover. When closed, using a normal snap, the user still has access to the "hold" switch and the earphones plug. The case snap can be opened for the sync cable to connect without needing to "unfold" the front cover.
When opened, Zune remains in the case and the user has direct access to the screen, the 5-directions pad and the 2 buttons next to it that are not covered. A minor negative point is when opening/closing the front cover the headpnohes jack gets in the middle. 5 mm more free space in the front cover for the jack, would be ideal. But its still easy to do it without unplugging the jack.
The interior cloth is decorated with the Noreve logo which is on a small metal plate on the front cover as well. The front cover has also two internal, credit card sized slots. When open it can also be folded at the back of the case. This is the way I use it when in my jacket pocket, so I can access my Zune's controls fast.
A belt clip is included and can be placed at the back of the case by replacing a small screw. The clip screw has 8 fixed positions stopping the case from rotating freely arround it.
Noreve's Zune case is available in 13 different colors. Its cost of 35.99 EUR ($47.40
USD at writing) makes it one of the most expensive Zune cases but I believe the overall quality and functionality worth it.
