Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As a case only, I'd give this a 5 - very nicely built, good leather feel and looks nice.
Two issues, however, caused me to downgrade the rating - 1 minor, 1 significant. The minor issue is the bulk the case seems to add to the player - its not a huge addition, but given the fairly hefty size of the Archos 5 to begin with, the case seems to possibly push the size of the 5 plus case to almost obese.
The major issue is that with the way they've designed the case, its impossible to place the 5 on to the battery dock without removing the case. The maddening thing is that if they had placed the front closure and its corresponding magnets a little different, it would have worked (I tested it by repositioning the 5 so that just the leather was between the 5 & the dock and it worked that way.) So the case has to be removed in order to use the battery dock - a big pain seeing that I wanted the 5 to be protected by the case at all times. [I don't have the DVR dock, but I assume the problem applies with it too.]
In the end, a 5 star case gets downgraded to a 3 star rating because faulty design causes incompatibility between the case and the battery dock.
