I am more than disappointed by the shell. She sits first, much too loose and the material is in my opinion too soft to ensure an optimal fit. Hinzukopmmt that the envelope attracts dirt and dust literally. So my shell looks after only a few hours in the jacket pocket, as if I had been around for years in use. For my shell has not so strong smell, as others have described. I have the envelope will not be returned for only one reason: There is no other for this MP3 player.
