Cowon O2 Noreve Case Review
Sure we have plenty of complaints about Cowon O2 mainly dealing with the user interface, but in the end is still a respectable PMP with the signature warm sound typical to Cowon.
The O2 is too big to fit in your pocket which makes it a good candidate for a protective case since its likely to tossed into a bag or carried by itself. If you have read any of our case reviews you know that we are fans of the Noreve cases. This one is no different. Check out the pics below with some thoughts on the fit.
Like all of the recent Noreve cases I have the O2 case fits perfectly around all the buttons. Everything on the player is accessible without taking it out. I also find that like your favorite pair of sneakers, it takes some time to break the case in. As you use the case, it starts to better conform and fit to the player. I find after it breaks in there is less of the player sliding around in the case.
If you are unfamiliar with Noreve’s line up of colors and styles the basic leather comes in 12 different colors. There is also a slightly more premium leather in three different colors and finally the higher end “vintage” leather- this is a rough texture suede leather coming in 4 different colors. The prices on these different types range from $55-$68. Sure these prices are at the high end of cases, but you def get what you pay for.
You can pick up the O2 case directly from NoreveUSA globally at Noreve.com

Yes, but no belt clip. Most of the time I like to have it on my hip when I'm out & about. Being in a car or sitting somewhere it doesn't matter too much, but I am not always in my vehicle.
I live in the south, and pretty much from now on, I'll wear a T-shirt and shorts. Hard to put a PMP like this in a pair of shorts and stay intact.
The other frustration, is that even the Cowon case - similar to this but not leather - also does not have a belt clip.
I had to go to nite-ize to get one that fit, also with a great belt clip. It doesn't let go!
