Just wanted to give my vote to the longevity of the player. He was now estimated four years you wherever you go, even several months in sandy abroad, he is constantly fell down, was permanently plugged in here and there and is only now got broken. Such a life is not supposed to expect from a product in this price range. Whether it is due to the silicone sleeve, or good processing, I do not know. Granted, I had the case even with a strip of adhesive tape to stick together but after that the unit kept another 2 years until it now recently well once too often fell down and apparently suffered a damage inside. Sometimes it works even still! It just will not give up !! Have the players bought and've never looked back. Who is on reliability and not unbending needs more memory, which is recommended for really urgent current bargain price this player!
