To current Creative ZEN owners - does the keypad get dirty quickly?

Question

I'm thinking of buying a Creative ZEN 4 GB (just the ZEN, no M or V or whatever), and I assume I'll need to buy some protective cases from Creative too.

Does the keypad get dirty quickly? Do I need a case that covers the keypad? And what about the screen, does it scratch easily? Do I need to buy a clear screen protector (like a sticker) for that too?

Thanks so much!! :o)

Answer 1

I have a vision:M and a Zen Touch, and I would recommend buying a screen protector.

The screen scratched prety ewasily, so get one before you start using it!

and I thought the body was getting scratched (lot of small scratches), so I bought a skin...big mistake.  the skin made huge scufffs on the player's glossy skin.  If you want a case i wouldnt buy a skin, get a normal case.  Im guessin your not getting it for portability (the reason i got a skin)since your buying a ZEN.

Answer 2

I've had mine for about 5 months and it's fine.....I don't have a protective case but I do have  a screen protector I would recommend one too!

Answer 3

I have had many different ZEN's and they are all reliable, don't scratch easily if you treat it right. A case might be useful just in case, but the pad stays alright as well. Nothing is really neccessary, it just depends on how safe you want to be and how much wear and tear you think you will put on it.
