Go on Amazon. Search Sansa Fuze accessories, there is a hard case you may want to look at. The silicone one is the most popular (based on what I have read on here) but that does not protect the screen.
The clear hard plastic cases are like 5 bucks + free shipping on E-Bay. At least they were when I got one a few months ago. There are 2 problems with it though . . . once it’s on, you don’t want to have to be taking it off very often, or you could break off the little tabs that hold the 2 pieces (front & back) of casing together. And believe me, it’s not easy getting it apart. They fit together very snug.
#2 - Because it’s a clear hard plastic case, it’s rather thick which is excellent for protection, but terrible in trying to insert and especially remove the uSD card if you use one. It’s virtually impossible to get your fingernail in there far enough to push it till it clicks and releases it and then the spring doesn’t push it out far enough to grab it. I ended up using hemostats & needle-nose pliers and even they were too thick to get into the case opening for the card slot. I ended up using the point of a knife blade on each of the edges of the card to wriggle it out a bit further so that I could pinch it with my fingernails. Definitely qualifies as a ROYAL PITA!
This is probably a problem with the silicone cases/skins too, but at least you can trim or whittle the opening a little larger with an exacto knife to make it a bit easier. The silicone ones are rubbery too, so they’ll bounce on impact. If I were to use one of these, I’d also get a screen protector to guard against scratches on the screen.
Just wondering if you liked that case? http://www.bargaincell.com/product_44457_3413.html
This is the plastic case I got for my Fuze:

The power switch, microSD card, and sync port access points are all much bigger and and very easy to get to; much more so than the last Crystal Clear Case I got. The sync cable fits securely and snugly into the port on my Fuze now, as if it’s not even in a case at all.
As for taking the case off, I haven’t tried it yet, but yes, it’s probably difficult to do. Use a small flathead screwdriver, carefully pry it apart at the bottom edges, and that should work. Or, you could just leave it on.
All the best.
can anybody tell me, where i can buy the
SanDisk HandStands Travel Kit for Sansa Fuze
in europe - or even better in germany? i am looking for a leather case (an open - not a closed one where you can not use the player) EVERYWHERE - but i did not found one in any shop… i do not want to use such a silicon case - i do not like them
in us stores you find it where ever you look - but on the one hand there is no shipping to europe - or on the other hand the shipping doubles the price…
i need help!

I would recommend that you do a internet search maybe you may find what your looking for. Try Ebay or Amazon.

E-Bay is fairly global and Amazon has a UK division.
HulkSmashNow, thanks for posting the photos of your smoked case, it looks like a very tight fit which is good as it maintains the player’s small footprint. I think I’m going for the clear/transparent case as I have a black Fuze, also the smoked case will make my screen dimmer.

i tried ebay and amazon - but both with the same result - just us-shops sell this articles - nowhere in uk, france not, ebay.com…
i wrote an email to handstands - maybe they can give me the name of an european shop - but i would be suprised getting an answer!

Hate to ask but did you try amazon.co.uk? or Amazon.de (these are the only 2 Erupoe based amazon sites I know off the top of my head)? I just did a search of Amazon.co.uk for Sansa Fuze Accessories and got a bunch of stuff.
you are right - there are 2 (or even more eu-amazon-sites) - but even on all i searched there were only the silicon cases or the “closed” leather ones - no fuze travelkit or single leather case - if you find one on a european site PLEASE post the link!!!

You’re welcome, hycian. It’s a great case overall. If you can find a clear one just like it, have at it and enjoy!
All the best.

Some Fuze spesific cases still need modify (Especially for those of us with big fingers :smileyvery-happy: ) That is a decent deal if you dont like ordering off the net or are in a hurry.
