I really like this protective cover. It is very well made, and seems like it will do an excellent job of protecting the Sansa even from a fall. The funny thing is that now that it is in the ToughSkin I am much less likely to drop it. Before I bought the ToughSkin, the my e280 was very slippery and easily dropped. Now that it is in the case, it is very easy to hold and grip with very little pressure. It is true that the buttons are easier to push with the ToughSkin on than it was without it. The hard plastic screen cover was a surprising positive about this case as well. The only problem being that the screen cover seems to scratch more easily than I would expect. Overall, this is an excellent product that I would not hesitate to recommend.
