Olympus - Soft case for digital voice recorder Review

I ordered this product at the same time I ordered the DS 40 recorder. It took the company more than 10 days to simply ship the product. They stated it was sent USPS priority (which it was NOT) and shipping took another 6 days. In addition, the cost for shipping was an additional fee from what Amazon charged for the total order (almost $6.00). Still, I thought it would be worthwhile to protect my recorder, etc.

Imagine my surprise when the box finally arrived and it was large enough to fit the entire recorder box. I thought, maybe the case is large enough to actually hold the earbuds, and spare batteries. Sadly, the huge box was filled with packing material so the SMALL FLAT CLOTH case didn't get damaged. Still...there was hope. Maybe, just maybe it would be worth the money. Unfortunately, the case only holds the recorder - no earbuds, no spare batteries. The magnetic closure - doesn't stay closed. The stereo microphone that is included with the recorder, doesn't fit with the case. So the user needs to either not use the stereo microphone or deal with the case not closing at all. In addition, you can't turn the recorder ON or OFF while it's in the case. Because of the location of the power switch, it is necessary to partially remove it from the case (which isn't all bad since then you can use the stereo mic).

All in all, I'm very disappointed. If you are wavering at all between the DS 40 (with this case) and the DS 50 (with the included case) - buy the DS 50. If you're going to get the DS 40 - don't get it this one. It's not worth the money or the hassle. I'll be returning this case and going to one of my local retailers and finding a case that will carry the earbuds, spare batteries, the optional mic, AND still manage to stay closed to protect my investment.
