Fat Bear for Sony NW A55 Case, Rugged Shockproof Armor Protective Shell Skin Case Cover for Sony Walkman NW-A55HN A56HN A57HN A50 A55 A56 A57 (Tactical Grey)

This FatBear case is a bit more expensive than some but well worth it. The case for my Sony Walkman A55 fits perfectly. It is rugged and well designed, with perfect alignment of the skin with the Sony's control buttons. Most important for me, there is plenty of room around the earphone jack, so wired phones with a large or right-angle plug can access the jack easily, which is not so for many cases. The power/sync cable slot has plenty of room as well. While there's not a cutout for the memory card slot, the case installs easily and can be taken off without problem, so if you want to change a card, it's not a big inconvenience. I've looked at many cases for my Walkman, and this is the best I've found by far. I plan to buy FatBear cases for my Samsung T7 drives. My only criticism is that FatBear should offer more cases for iPhones (as the only ones on offer are for the 15).

I am supremely satisfied with this product. Perfect in every way. I recommend this product to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

...with a couple of issues. First, this case is advertised as coming with screen protectors - but it didn't. Second, the case material is quite inflexible. Whilst this is good with regards to the amount of protection it provides, unfortunately it means that pressing one button may actually operate the adjacent button too; I've found that using the power button also operates the volume-up button, though I'm hoping that with use, the case will "break in" a bit, and become a bit more flexible. Also, there's very little haptic feedback from the buttons; you can feel the click on the play button, not so much on the rewind and fast-forward buttons, and not at all on the volume and power buttons. Again, with continued use, this may change for the better. I have, though, noticed that putting the case on and off a few times has helped a bit with this issue. With regards to fitting, the case is extremely snug and secure, with no worries about it slipping off. Although there are "bumpers" on the sides of the case, they are noticeably absent on the corners, however, the case material is quite thick so should be able to handle impacts well. In the hand, the case is very smooth and not particularly grippy like some polymers; this isn't an issue for me, but if you prefer a more rubbery feel, look at the Inorlo case instead. Finally, there's no cover over the charging/data port; again, not a problem for me, but may be something to keep in mind, and if it's a deal breaker for you, the Inorlo case does have a protective flap to cover the port. If you intend to use a lanyard, expect to swear a lot while trying to fit it, though this is no different to any other case as Sony haven't made it an easy thing to attach without a case on the Walkman, let alone with one fitted. Overall, the Fat Bear is not a bad case at all, and it may well improve with use; I'm certainly not unhappy with my purchase, though at twice the price of its Inorlo competitor I would have hoped for something that required no breaking-in period and was perfect straight out of the box.

Good quality and fast delivery fits perfectly if you warm it up a bit

Not a well built "Shockproof" case, just a really chep Chinese made plastic enclosure with no screen protection. If this is your only option; it's definately better than nothing, but try and find something better.
