The very pretty Sony NW-A1000/A3000 MP3 player gets a protection shell that is made entirely out of plexi and that is completely transparent so you can enjoy the nice colours of the player whilst protecting it. I must admit that Sony achieved something here, it’s much prettier than an iPOD. So if you have one of these or are going to get one, note that you can get a shell to protect it without ruining yourself, as it only costs 22 EUR.
