Does anyone know if the armband/necklace will work with the s9, I know it says I have to have another case with it if so which one? http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=39
(http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=39)

[myenhdl]

Just thought that everyone should know- musiciansfriend.com and guitarcenter.com is selling the SHURE SCL4 (E4C rebranded) in white for $79. That's $170 off the retail price! I'm adding this to the accessories list just because it's such a nice deal. Bought 2 pairs for myself and GF to upgrade over Senn CX300s and can not believe the difference it made. Worth a look!

[sodoecho]

Wow thanks for the update. I just got my s9 today and was looking for firmware upgrades then happen to come here and saw the shures scl4 for such a great deal. I just grabbed one for myself. Thanks alot guys!!!! and the s9... phenomenal.

[ryknown]

BlackRiders:

The jetmall web site states there is no beltloop or armband loop. So, no; it will not work with the S9 carring case found here: http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=470

Oh goodness... this is such a good deal my se210's might have to take a backseat... Not a fan of the white... but golly... what to do![help]

[myenhdl]

Yeah...I got mine already and it sounds FANTASTIC! Bought 1 more for the backseat because surely, the CX300s aren't going to sit there;)

[Mr. Black]

myenhdl, i've made this list a sticky, I hope you keep up the good work!

[davidw89]

Jetmall doesn't ship to Australia but i want to buy:
COWON S9 LCD Protective Film (http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=472)

COWON S9 Clear Plastic Case (http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=471)

Any idea where to buy then?

[myenhdl]

eBay sells the clear LCD film, not COWON brand but similar. If I find the plastic case somewhere else, I'll post it here. Meanwhile, you can try to send jetaudio (ebay seller) a message to ask them to list the accessory. At least they gave me a date on when they'll list the O2 when I asked before the release date. Hope this helps.

[asdfasfbrwa]

lol, didn't see this thread earlier, but I just posted this on the Discussion thread... http://www.noreveusa.com/product_info.php?products_id=2205 Noreve finally released images of their case for the s9

[myenhdl]

Is it just me or is there no cutout for the RW/FF buttons? I'll add on to the list later when I get home...using cell right now :D

[Tonedeaf]

Shame about the Noreve case. I was looking forward to it, but that's just a few too many buttons covered. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone sees the benefit of having a screen protector for a scratchproof screen? In particular, how resistant is the s9's tempered glass screen against dirty fingerprints?

[myenhdl]

The tempered glass is very scratch resistant. I have carelessly slipped my S9 into my pocket full of keys and coins, and no scratch. There's a video somewhere showing a guy attempting to scratch his S9 with a metal fork and knife, and fails. (I'll post link to video when I find it) And then there was a user on this forum that tried an xacto knife and scratchless. I wouldn't use a screen film/protector unless you want to make the screen matte or anti-reflective.

The screen is a bit of fingerprint/bodyoil magnet. A quick wipe on your shirt or sleeve will solve this! (And wont have to worry about scratches like my phone)

[dannyjg]

I just got my silicone skin in the mail from ebay.. It's not bad but not anywhere near the quality of the javoedge i have on my D2.. Beware: The black skin is NOT black, it's gray.
Anyway, still happy my S9 is a lil' more protected.. I ordered a screen protector but never got it.. I'm gonna wait til javoedge release theirs. They make the best protective films by far.

Stereo Bluetooth Headset for COWON S9 / Q5W (http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=478)

[dannyjg]

Hi, has anyone tried the Cowon S9 protective film yet? Is it any good? I ordered a screen protector from ebay and it was awful.
Screen is scratch proof, I just want something for the fingerprints.
Thanks

Stereo Bluetooth Headset for COWON S9 / Q5W (http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=478)


I see that Cowon released there own bluetooth headphones for the s9, does anyone know if these work? Amazon.com: Motorola S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headset [Bulk Packaged]: Cell Phones &amp; Service

I just ordered them and these would do me better than the ones cowon has on sale.

[myenhdl]

I believe the S9 in the moto title is purely coincidental and has nothing to do with Cowon's products. Judging by the reviews on the amazon page, it should work as it pairs with PSP, Zune and cellphones.

[OnYourMark]

Stereo Bluetooth Headset for COWON S9 / Q5W (http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=478)

I don't understand... what is that product for? Isn't the point of bluetooth to get rid of the wires?

[confused]

Yeah those seem like a waste...why not just plug them into the mp3 player...lol...

The way they are you need to carry the mp3 player and that receiver..lol.

I don't understand... what is that product for? Isn't the point of bluetooth to get rid of the wires?

[confused]

Not to mention the thing hanging would just the ear phones down, on some of the noise cancelling earphones I have the noise reductions just drags the earphones down. I'd have to put the s9 in one pocket and the bluetooth headphones in another pocket. 1 step forward 2 steps back.

I like the design of the motorola s9 much better.
Even if they don't work i'll just sell them and wait for cowon to release something more like the moto s9 blue tooth headsets.

[gorgi]

Where can I buy the Cowon accessories in Germany? Unfortunately jetmall does not ship outwith the US.

[dannyjg]

These are great, i've tried them: Amazon.com: JBL Reference 610 Wireless Headphone (Black): Electronics

BUT the best use of the bluetooth is to sync it with your car stereo. i happen to have a BT stereo in my car. it's just awesome... no wires.

Those are nice, but a little topricey for me. I could prob go as high as 75-100 dollars.

I'm hoping the motorola s9 ones I bought work fine. Because I prefer the form factor of those much better.

[Don't Panic]

@Gorgi I talked to mp3players.nl a official dealer of cowon "der Niederlanden" [confused] and they said that the accessories where coming to Europe within 1 a 2 weeks so ordering from another continent is useless timewise.

Sony has some earbuds now with the Bluetooth radio built in to one side and the rechargeable battery in to the other. Only wire is in between L/R:

Those are really nice, but at 200 dollars I can't justify that amount of money for earphones. Hopefully the moto s9 work perfectly.

maybe in a couple of years as more and more pmp/dap/mid get bluetooth more and more bluetooth headsets will come out.

[isaac298]

Just a heads up that the White Scl4s are no longer in production and 95% of the stores are now out of them.

[myenhdl]

Just a heads up that the White Scl4s are no longer in production and 95% of the stores are now out of them.

I see that...and will continue to look for them. Meanwhile, buyers that bought many sets are now sellers on ebay (still at a lower than retail price), making a small profit.

[Jikosan]

Not yet on the JAVOedge website, but Amazon now has JAVOscreens.

[TriDeka]

ya I might get the leather carrying case...can't find a case that actually fits AND has openings for the buttons.

BTW what was mentioned about the iriver Clix cable being compatable in the first post, the clix cable is completely incompatable. The SPINN does use the same, but the clix 1 uses something like the Samsung P2 and some LG cellphones. Clix 2 uses a standard mini-USB.

[babu]

has anyone found some cheap screen protectors that will actually cover the whole front face? instead of just the screen area? anyone try out the javo edge ones? I bought a cowon case but i'm waiting to get a cheap screen protector as well.

[SawaFish]

I bought a screen protector from eBay from a seller called fx-schutzfolien, it covers the whole front and works great. It doesn't really show fingerprints when your S9 is off and otherwise they're easy to wipe away. The screen looks just as good as without a protector. I had one from this seller on my O2 and it came off (after 1,5 week of use) without leaving any residu or other unwanted stuff. The screen was as clean as if it was new out of the box :)

It cost me roughly 5 euros including (superfast) shipping to the Netherlands, it's sent from Germany. I can recommend this seller as my O2 protector was too big so I had to cut it and when I complained about that they send a fitting replacement free of charge.

[dbdynsty25]

has anyone found some cheap screen protectors that will actually cover the whole front face? instead of just the screen area? anyone try out the javo edge ones? I bought a cowon case but i'm waiting to get a cheap screen protector as well.

I got both the Anti-Glare and Crystal JavoEdge protectors. The Anti-Glare one distorted the screen way to much for my liking, so I went with the clear one. It prevents finger prints a LITTLE. Just slightly better than naked...so don't get it if that's your ultimate goal.

I was actually disappointed in the Anti-Glare. On my iPhone 3g I definitely rock the Anti-Glare (Power Support version) and it doesn't hurt the screen that much. The JavoEdge definitely did...so maybe its just a combination of the OLED as opposed to LCD on the iPhone, but I had to stick with Crystal even though it still shows fingerprints and glare.

[dbdynsty25]

BTW...I just picked up a pair of Sennheiser IE6s from JR.com to replace my CX300s that I've been using for the past couple years. Unbelievable sound from these things. They are still in the burn-in period so I imagine they will get even better...but from a pure comparison standpoint to the Cx300s...they are a lot cleaner sounding. The bass isn't quite as boomy, but it's still prominent and the mids and highs are a lot warmer and cleaner. I'm not audiophile (i just spend like I'm one), but these are the best buds I have found for under 200 bucks. JR has them for 160 shipped...90 off retail. Hopefully they are real???? I know Senns seem to have a lot of fakes going around...but they sound good, so who cares!

[babu]

Thanks for the reply dbdynsty25 and sawafish. I actually live in the states. dbdynsty25- did the javoedge cover the whole front face? thanks. (http://iaudiophile.net/forums/member.php?u=7277)

Ya i finally took off the factory screen protector, looks beautiful but man do a lot of fingerprints show up.

[dbdynsty25]

Yes, the Javo's cover the whole face.

[Walshy]

For all the Australian users minidisc.com.au now has most the accessories

[babu]

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/cowon-s9-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

the zagg invisible shield seems the a little cheaper (front only) and its possibly the best screen protector you can get. I think this is the best choice if you live in the US as its 11.95 with free shipping. These things are industrial strenght but i dont want the soft plastic type like the bestskinsever i had for my creative, i prefer the hard plastic kind which are smoother for touch screen. Anyone ordered this yet? is it smooth to use with the fingers?

I'm also seriously considering using it w/o a screen protector since it seems to be virtually scratch resistant.

Got an email from amp3 saying they've got a load of S9 accessories including the official wall charger, line out, TV-out and USB cables as well as some cases. 20% off this weekend on them too using the code f816b9.

[Don't Panic]

Anyone, besides me, didn't get the little standaard usb converter (lack of better English) [blush]?

[rinzwind]

Me! I did not get that either :(

[OnYourMark]

I was under the impression that the adapter was only for Korean packs, or for sale separately. I assume because the 24 pin USB connections are only common in Korea.
...I think.

[Don't Panic]

That makes sense! I got the picture from a korean site. Thanks for the fast reply.

[xenarchi]

The USB 'data' cable for the LG VU DOES NOT WORK.

[flautash]

Today I received this excellent silicone skin/case (http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-COWON-S9-Silicone-Case-Black_W0QQitemZ350162909269QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOthe r_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item350162909269&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14)for my S9 from a Korean eBay seller PLAYERSPLANET (http://stores.shop.ebay.com/PLAYERSPLANET__W0QQ_armrsZ1). Case is marginally cheaper than the one from AZUMALL/eBay, already listed here - I got it for USD 8.99 + shipping.

The color is dark mocca smoke, has some tiny surface lines (like a vinyl record) along the length of the player, especially visible on the back. They contribute to the S9's classy look even in a silicone case. Sort of a brushed metal effect, only on a mocca silicone.

The brand written on the back is "ispeaker".

Got it delivered in exactly one week for USD 5.00 from Seoul Korea to Sweden, very nicely packed in a small packet, and then in a separate bag inside the box.

Fitting is quite good, enough space for the screen to touch, all controls accessible, volume and REW/FF controls nicely covered yet fully functional.

The best thing about this particular silicone case is that is has a lanyard and holes for it! This means you can put your S9 on a neck-type IEM's... I sure like wearing them like that - on a short leash.. :)

I can certainly highly recommend this one! It IS that good..

[thumbsup] nice pictures! Especially like the lanyard. Question is it strong enough being silicon and all? How is the silicon does it get dirty very fast? Sand and stuff sometimes gets stuck to it.

[flautash]

sorry to dissapoint you , the "lanyard" on photos is a part of creative EP635 IEM's.. :(

2 Cowon S9 Cases from JAVOedge. 1st one is $21.95 and the other one is $23.95

Amazon.com: Cowon S9 JAVOedge Millennium Flip Case (4GB/8GB/16GB) (Jet Black Fiber): Cell Phones &amp; Service

Amazon.com: Cowon S9 JAVOedge Classic Leather Flip Case (4GB/8GB/16GB) (Black): Apparel

only problem is i don't see any opening on the top of the case for the volume, track, and menu buttons. at least the noreve one has one side i think.

and this has a belt clip.

i already bought the official cowon case. but really wanted a clip. this must have just came out recently cause i didn't see this last wednesday when i purchased the official one.

I wish that eBay seller sold this one :

http://www.rearth.com/mall/m_mall_detail.php?ps_ctid=02030000&ps_goid=131&ps_page=1

It is called "Ringke" from a company named Rearth.
Sold for 12,000 KRW.

[sacramento]

flautash (http://iaudiophile.net/forums/member.php?u=27756), I',m trying to get the case you got, but I don't think it's in stock anymore, they seem to just have black. I'd really want the same colour as yours! (Dark mocca smoke)

[flautash]

@sacramento:
- try sending a message to the seller, that might work
- the url I have posted links to the "black" case. I honestly do not remember if I ordered the black one and got this one. that might be the case. again, message the seller and ask him directly. the "dark mocca smoke" might be what you get when ordering the black one, ;)
- this one is a kind of sexy one, just slightly revealing the player's details underneath :)

[Dalmane98]

I ordered a Black one and I just got it...

It looks just like yours...It is not really a dark mocca smoke color...More like a charcoal.

For $14.00 it is not half bad...

I wish the play/pause button was covered though, like the one named Ringke from the company named Rearth.

Maybe zCover will come out with one, but it will cost a whole lot more...

Over all though I am happy...Better than the Cowon leather case...

Sold for 12,000 KRW.

These look nice! I'd like to have a decent case to help protect the thing, but I don't really need clasping or leather or something that makes the device more bulky. I want it to be a pocket friendly as possible.

quoting myself. just received this case today. i actually like this one better than the official cowon case that i was currently using. major plus for me was the belt clip. it has all the openings for the bottom part but none on the top. it doesn't matter cause the top part is soft enough to press and change tracks/volume. and there's a little thingy where i can put a stylus...just got to find one that will fit in it.

i guess now i have to put up the official case for sale or keep it as a backup. i do like the official one cause its like a snap on instead of slipping it in like a pouch and love the red interior...but i really need the clip. i'm female and usually my pants or shorts are on the fitted side so the player will be bulging out of my pocket and will have a hard time sitting. plus i worry about the headphone jack being bent awkwardly.

this is a cheaper option than the noreve case. like half the cost.

[sacramento]

I ordered a Black one and I just got it...

It looks just like yours...It is not really a dark mocca smoke color...More like a charcoal.

For $14.00 it is not half bad...

I wish the play/pause button was covered though, like the one named Ringke from the company named Rearth.

Maybe zCover will come out with one, but it will cost a whole lot more...

Over all though I am happy...Better than the Cowon leather case...

So the black one that you ordered looks exactly the same as the one he got? Like it is the exact same case?

I just took my Javo screen protector off. Decided that I didn't like the install. Going to pick up the Invisible Shield.

Today I received this excellent silicone skin/case (http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-COWON-S9-Silicone-Case-Black_W0QQitemZ350162909269QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOthe r_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item350162909269&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14)for my S9 from a Korean eBay seller PLAYERSPLANET (http://stores.shop.ebay.com/PLAYERSPLANET__W0QQ_armrsZ1). Case is marginally cheaper than the one from AZUMALL/eBay, already listed here - I got it for USD 8.99 + shipping.

The color is dark mocca smoke, has some tiny surface lines (like a vinyl record) along the length of the player, especially visible on the back. They contribute to the S9's classy look even in a silicone case. Sort of a brushed metal effect, only on a mocca silicone.

The brand written on the back is "ispeaker".

Got it delivered in exactly one week for USD 5.00 from Seoul Korea to Sweden, very nicely packed in a small packet, and then in a separate bag inside the box.

Fitting is quite good, enough space for the screen to touch, all controls accessible, volume and REW/FF controls nicely covered yet fully functional.

The best thing about this particular silicone case is that is has a lanyard and holes for it! This means you can put your S9 on a neck-type IEM's... I sure like wearing them like that - on a short leash.. :)

I can certainly highly recommend this one! It IS that good..

I have the same silicone case, its excellent, with a very good grip so you dont easily drop your lovely s9. very reasonable price too, got mine from ebay.

[FugiAgah]

Has anyone been able to find a compatible Arm Band for the s9 that they are pleased with? I'm contemplating purchasing an itouch one, but am afraid the audio jack will be in the wrong spot. I'm not too worried about buttons being covered up, as most functions work on the touch screen, and I'd only be using it at the gym.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I already brought the Pogo Sketch...Do not waste your time or money...

IMHO, the other one will not work either.

My Pogo Sketch went to the land fill...

IMNSHO, just get the [URL="http://www.sgpstore.com/product_info.php/products_id/564?osCsid=f651d19ab0d72595c82a4702b4a96cf5"]screen protector (http://www.songtak.com.tw/product.php?mode=list&cid=3) from SGPStore.com and be done with it.

I am still using the one I cut to fit, but the one made for the S9 looks cool. It will cover the whole screen. I might put it on later this week.

This protector works and stops the fingerprint problem...

[Dalmane98]

Does anyone have a Ringke Silicon case for their S9?

Found this website selling Ringke case.

This looks like the best silicon case (http://www.bestfromkorean.com/cowon-s9-silicon-case-by-ringk9.html) made for the S9

I was going to order the Aquablack case ($17.00), but shipping is $15.00 to the USA.

That makes the total $32.00 and it takes 20 business days to get.

Is this case worth it?

I have the one that is being sold on eBay, I really like the Ringke case.

I got to think about it.

[rockphantom]

Howdy,

I'm a new member and plan to order my S9 16GB very soon.

I am confused on which protective case I should get.
I'd like to pick up either the official S9 black carrying case or the unofficial green silicon case from ebay. The S9 will be my first DAP. I want to give it as much protection as possible. Which case is best for someone who is clumsy like me? [unsure]

Thanks!

Milan

[Jufran]

I just bought my S9 today and I can't seem to get enough of that Ringke case...here's hoping they bring it over here.

Damn those Koreans! Keeping the good stuff to themselves! lol j/k :D

Very nice I might add!

I brought a Ringke Aquablack S9 case from Best From Korea (http://www.bestfromkorean.com/cowon-s9-silicon-case-by-ringk9.html).

Cost $37.00 with EMS shipping (3 -5 days) to the USA.

I will let everyone know what I think after I get it...

[Insta]

whoa... price is kinda steep [unsure]
it'll prolly be worth it though. seems like the best case available that's not leather.

[Dalmane98]

whoa... price is kinda steep [unsure]

$17.00 for the Case and $20.00 for Express shipping...

Regular mail was $17.00 and takes about 20 days...I figured the extra $3.00 was worth the reduced time.

I sent them about 10 emails trying to get a better price on the shipping, but they would not budge on anything.

I agree, though it is the best silicon case out there...The most popular in Korea for sure...

[Dalmane98]

Got the Ringke S9 case I ordered today...

It is well worth the money...

Now I know why this case is so popular in Korea...

Buy one and so will you...

[nevinale]

Thanks so much hibell!! I have been looking for a leather case which flips up. This seemed like a good option. But, now with the pictures, I am most probably gonna get them! Does the outer flap have a layer of internal padding, or is it just soft leather?

[hibell]

hmm...outer flap. i guess it has a little soft padding. not much. i guess i would describe it as very hard cardboard that has small padding on it with the leather stiched over it. =)

oh and internal material is like black felt. and flap is magnetic. also there is no opening on top but easy to press volume/menu/track controls. i do it all the time blindly very easy to control. and disregard on what i said about that thingy on the side for stylus. you wont find a stylus that small nor compatible to use on the s9's touchscreen.

[nevinale]

awesome.. I am gonna order this tomorrow. Thanks for all the info and pics!

I have a question about the Ringke case, does it come with a screen protector? I've seen videos with and without the screen protector.

[myenhdl]

Sorry guys- I haven't been on for a LONG time now, partly due to an obnoxious new load of responsibilities at work and growing obsessions in modding car lights.

I will update the list soon and keep this thread alive. Just received the 32GB S9 and loving it!

[littlebunnie_]

HI!
I was wondering if anyone has found any leather cases for the Cowon s9 that have an open side (either bottom or top)? I would really like to have a case that doesn't have a flip top.
Below is an example of what I've found for the D2 in that style:
http://www.javoedgeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/cowond2classicleathercases.jpg
Product found at http://www.javoedge.com/reflexeshop/productCatalog/getProduct.do?poid=2448&pbmId=16356

[silvos3189]

you might as well just buy a leather case with a flip top and if you dont like it... go and cut the whole flip top thing off so it looks exactly like your picture... well kinda if you put the key ring in yourself

[littlebunnie_]

I was thinking of doing that :P I knew someone would point out the obvious solution..

[hibell]

why don't you try and email javoedge and request a s9 version of that d2 case. since they already make a flip top (which i have and posted in previous page) they might make one if there is a demand for it. if not, the flip section is just soft leather so there's no problem in cutting it. might have to sew it up i guess and soft enough that you can put a hole and grommet it so you can put a ring in it.

i'm happy with mines...dropped it so many times and no dings, cracks, etc. first time my heart stopped, 2nd time was like oh crap not again, 3rd and so on was like check okay continue on. well, i guess i'm just lucky it landed in a way that didn't do any damages.

[tma888]

quick question:

is there a water-proof case and headphones i can use with the S9?
say, i wanna go snorkelling or surfing with the S9?

summer's already here and my S9 is definitely going with me to the Caymans! :wink:

[gorgi]

I don't think so. You could search for a tiny box that you can put your S9 into. But you would have to wear bluetooth headphones, and those might be very expensive because they would have to be water-proof and have a good sq.

Can someone tell me if the TV Out cable can be used as a line out for music only? I would like to play music on the s9 and input it to a stereo. With the A3, when I use the TV out setting the screen is turned off so I can't see how to control the player (unless it's connected to a TV).

[4DThinker]

TV out does not work for music alone, except for the audio that is part of a video.

[number5toad]

thought it was lost in the mail, but I got my leather case today - very nice quality, fits snugly...I'd say I can't wait to try it out, but I'm hoping never to drop this thing...

I've bought one. ANd it's just a Plug Only Style without cable ;)

I've also the Tv out cable , but he don't seems working :( !

[jmoz]

Has anyone definitively figured out either (A) cables that work with the S9 (other than the one from Cowon) or (B) cables that physically fit but don't work?

Everything I've read says that this 20-pin connector is common to Korean PMP and cellphones, etc, but other than the iRiver SPINN, no one has been able to confirm (first-hand, ideally) a model of PMP or cellphone that shares this cable.

[number5toad]

I tested it with the cable from my wife's Omnia, but it did not fit - the Omnia cable had what I can only describe as an "extra ridge" on the bottom edge of the connector that made it incompatible with the S9

pretty unfortunate all things considered

[Ukzen]

I saw some pictures on this forum somwhere showing an s9 with a chrome holster, anyone know where to get it.
Or is their a ltd version of s9 with chrome back

The cable from the LG Shine does NOT fit the S9. I wanted to order a tip from gomadic (gomadic.com), but they don't currently have a tip for the S9. I worked with them to see if the Shine tip fits, and it does not.

[thewonderer]

Hmmm, it seems like the price of a Cowon S9 cable is about 15 australian dollars on ebay... does anyone know where else i could get a cable from for less... I know ipod clone cables are a couple of bux... surely the S9 cable isn't any more expensive to make.

At 400 mA, it should be fine. You'll be able to charge your S9 from a low battery to full in about 4 or so hours.

[Adapada]

I have one that charges 5.5V, 500mA
would It be okay (even though its 5.5V?)
I'm pretty sure it will be alright, but I'm just checking

Hi guys,

I'm intending to get a S9 this coming weekend, would like to get a screen protector to go along with it, but it seems that there are quite a few available here? I've read through the threads and found these:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/cowon-s9-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

http://www.sgpstore.com/product_info.php/products_id/564?osCsid=f651d19ab0d72595c82a4702b4a96cf5

and also the javo "anti glare", "mirror screen protector", and the "ultra clear screen protector"

I'm basically looking for one that would cover the entire front of the player, and of course does not distort the screen as some have stated that the javo anti glare does. A thicker film is also preferred over the flimsy ones.

Any advice?

COWON S9 Clear Plastic Case (http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=471)


I've got one of those, fits like a glove.:D

The leather Bodyguard case covers the USB port.[thumbdwn]

[kshelton]

Hi guys,

I'm intending to get a S9 this coming weekend, would like to get a screen protector to go along with it, but it seems that there are quite a few available here? I've read through the threads and found these:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/cowon-s9-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

http://www.sgpstore.com/product_info.php/products_id/564?osCsid=f651d19ab0d72595c82a4702b4a96cf5

and also the javo "anti glare", "mirror screen protector", and the "ultra clear screen protector"

I'm basically looking for one that would cover the entire front of the player, and of course does not distort the screen as some have stated that the javo anti glare does. A thicker film is also preferred over the flimsy ones.

Any advice?

I really like the Zagg protectors I personally think they are the best.

[D2lover]

As has been said, it is a pretty scratch-proof screen.:D

Sweaty fingers are wiped and I love how it is highly visible en sunlight.


edit - Cowon succumbed to looks...the curve makes the S9 pretty unstable on hard & flat surfaces[i.e. top of a PC].

Hi gang.

This is a post from the UK, so apologies for the unconverted GBPs.

UK retail prices for S9 accessories seem posited on the belief that those who can afford to buy an S9 can afford whatever is asked for a case or charger.

On eBay UK, the Cowon 'official' case is £27.48p, the Tuff-Luv case, £21.48p. Amazon UK is asking £27 ("official") and £19 ("Tuff Luv".)

But there are high quality cases out there for digital cameras of dimensions that presumably aren't much different to the S9. . . yet at nothing like those prices.

I even purchased a pair of shoes last week, leather uppers, compound soles, made in England, for £34.95, a price which makes the cost of the "official" case seem a joke.

This forum is obviously the S9 owner's best friend, and reading through the posts here has helped me figure out, more or less, what I want. But reconciling those posts with what's actually available to someone in the UK has proved more difficult.

I wondered, therefore, if anyone here could check out this eBay UK seller link:

http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Best-of-korea__W0QQ_armrsZ1

where it will be seen that there is something called an "I Time" flip-top case at £12.20p post-free, and a 'leather' side-clip case at £15.25, also post-free.

I don't want a silicone case (which seems to come free with the I Time product) and prefer the look of the side-clip case.

But I can't work out from the comments and pictures on this thread just what this particular case is, or if anyone actually has one -- or, more to the point, if it's the same case as this side-clip product being offered at more than £20, including postage, by this other Korean seller:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Leather-Case-for-COWON-S9-Black-Color_W0QQitemZ280410735077QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOthe r_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item4149c841e5

Can anyone help?

As to the "official" Cowon S9 USB mains charger: a UK retail price of £12.72p??? (With an additional cost for postage, making the total a staggering £15.21p. . .)

My TomTom sat nav didn''t come with a USB mains charger so I purchased a generic model for £2.99p two years ago and it works just fine.

Sadly, I'm no electronics expert, unlike many here, so I wondered if anyone can advise as to whether it would serve equally as well where the S9 is concerned? Its tech spec reads:

INPUT: AC 100-250v, 50/60Hz
OUTPUT: DC5, DV plus/minus 5%
MAXIMUM: 1000mA
MINIMUM: 150mA


Help / advice gratefully received -- many thanks!

Thanks, D2lover.

Unfortunately the UK retailer you mention is one whose prices don't appeal: the £15.21p USB mains charger I mentioned above is in that seller's eBay UK inventory.

Has anyone seen or own a snug fitting slipcase for their S9? I'm looking for something similar to this (but of course not for an iPoo):

http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/ip/ipod-nano-4g-pink-leather-slip-case.jpg

I recall seeing someone having one that came with their headphones?

EDIT: Ahhh, found it. Pseudohippy posted his/her setup with the Sleek Audio Wireless which came with an awesome looking slipcase. EXACTLY what I am after... Here's the thread / page:

http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25657&page=3

As Pseudohippy suggested, I emailed Sleek Audio asking if I could buy just the slipcase, but never heard back. I will try messaging them again now.

[Gregg]

Well, my problem over an S9 case is now resolved.

I found an unsued spectacles case in one of our cupboards.

It's nicely made, has a padded interior for protecting the contents, is finished in a pseudo black leather and has a fold-over flap which goes under a retaining band to keep everything secure.

The S9 fits perfectly inside it: because of the nature of this type of case, its shape seems tailored to the S9's "curve".

Cost: nothing at all -- it's just a standard spectacles case.

So much for forking out absurd sums of money for S9 accessories that cost less than a dollar to produce but then hit the punter with a 1,000% mark-up. . . [laugh]

[invertedskull]

Gregg, got a picture of that sunnies case?

[Gregg]

I'll grab the camera next week and have a go.

If you're in the UK, the case is from Conlon's, one of the nationwide chain of opticians. As noted, it's just a standard case, standard size. . . but perfick for the S9! :D

[invertedskull]

Nah, I'm not in the UK. I just ordered a Nokia E71 case, it's a perfect fit for the S9. This is the pouch / case I ordered: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3057/2628141487_3b5811900e.jpg

[S9isMine]

Has anyone tried the full invisible shield case for the S9? Wanna know if it's worth getting.

[ghettocoolie]

Has anyone tried the full invisible shield case for the S9? Wanna know if it's worth getting.

I have just the screen protector from Zagg and after using it for a few months I am not a big fan of it. The screen protector is a bit too tacky so that when you try to swipe your finger it's not always a smooth swipe. In certain angles the orange peel effect really turns the beautiful screen into a pimply faced screen.

Today I peeled off the invisibleSHIELD to replace it with one I bought from ebay that's about a third of the price and a few times easier to put on. And I'm loving it.

That's quite nice. Shame it needs a pull cord though.

[curls]

That's quite nice. Shame it needs a pull cord though.

It's a loop and bead rather than a pull chord. It's a bit big for the S9 at 13cmx8cm otherwise I'd have bought one.

[Jimmi G]

Don't know if any posted about this but the LG shine connection I assume would not work. I have an LG shine and the power cord connects into the Shine is square, whereas the S9 has kind of indented bumps. The Korean version of the cord might work, I don't know. Looks like they are definitely the same format, just the shape is different. Whatever you get make sure it has those bumps.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the Stereo Bluetooth Headset for COWON S9 / Q5W? According to JetMall the item is out of stock and may have been discontinued.

[Adapada]

you might be better off buying a "real" BT headphones online because these ones don't look to wireless (for $50, you can get WAY better)

The experience I've had with the S9 and bluetooth is of such poor quality, I would recommend you stick to wired. Sad to say...

True but this item is out of stock. It says so on the link you provided. What other BT devices would you recommend?

[클라크]

I think it depends on the BlueTooth headphone.

I've bought one for my Samsung mobile phone 2 years before in order to use it as headset for communication and as stereo headphone to listen to music. Well I was a bit disappointed of its music quality, as it has a little bit base noise.

Well connected to my S9 it sounds not worse as connected to my mobile phone or laptop.

So I think it solely depends on your Bluetooth device.
But of course a wired headphone remains much more reliable.

[invertedskull]

I think it depends on the BlueTooth headphone.

Nope, it doesn't. I wish it did, cos then the S9 might not be so shitty with bluetooth. I've tested my Sony DR-BT50 headset with several other devices, all far superior to the S9.

So I think it solely depends on your Bluetooth device. But of course a wired headphone remains much more reliable.

You are right.

[Hot0m]

What do you think about this? I don't mind wires as long as it sounds great and has a good battery life.

LG Shine USB Data Cable (http://shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=LG+Shine+USB+Cable), S. Korean's "standard" USB cables?
As low as <$2 per cable shipped, from sellers on eBay
(needs verification whether this "standard" cable works with the COWON S9)




OK. I bought a cable off ebay from this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-DATA-CABLE-FOR-LG-KE970-Shine-KF300-KF600-Venus_W0QQitemZ250473372406QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_M obilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneBatt eries?hash=item3a51605af6) seller because I lost my cable (I have found it again though...[rolleyes]) so just thought I'd report my findings and maybe have the first post updated.

Basically it doesn't fit. The metal plug is smaller but does start to connect albeit awkwardly and might possibly cause damage if you do it casually. I think it might have actually worked though if it wasn't for the fact that the plastic mold doesn't fit into the S9's recess so you can't push it all the way in. I suspect if you had another different LG Shine cable that had a thinner plastic bit you could push it all the way in and it might work. Mine doesn't. I wouldn't really recommend using this connector anyway because although the insides seem to match, the metal shape is smaller so it might cause damage to the S9 socket because it can bend sideways easily due to the smaller plug surround.

It's a little difficult to explain but I suppose I could take a photo if anyone really needs it. Overall, I'd say "No" for this seller's cable type and "Maybe but be careful" for another brand of LG Shine cable.

I went online earlier today looking for Sennheiser PX 200 headphones. I've owned two pairs (which broke) and wanted to buy another. To my surprise there's a PX 200-II (http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en.nsf/root/private_headphones_classic-line_pxseries_502817?Open&row=1) model available. This new model has an integrated volume control and single-sided cable. The latter feature is something that I was hoping this model would have some day. :D

Anyway, I purchased a pair at JetAudio Inc. through Amazon.com for $66.50.

Yay. [laugh]

Is that just a proprietary plug for Alpine car radios?
It looks like the type of jack you would see with an iPod jack on the end instead of a standard male ministereo plug.

i meant the giant plug on the other end of the stereo cable...the side that you are supposed to plug into your car.

a lot of car manufacturers nowadays offer a cable for about 30 bucks that you can get to plug into the CDChanger controls on the stock radio, if you don't already have an AUX-in jack

Same here. Didn't worry bout protection b/c of all the videos I saw. Who knew that keys could be so rough on a screen??

I got a few scratches here and there. Finally got a ZAGG invisible shield. Absolutely love it. Doesn't look like there is anything on the screen at all. Well, except I didn't watch the instruction video first,so there is one part where the liquid didn't go on correctly so i see some rainbow effect.

But hey, it's a lifetime guarantee. I can send it back and they'll send me a new one for free!

[number5toad]

yeah, "scratch proof" is really a terrible misnomer, and I cringe every time someone uses it to describe the S9 screen. there's literally nothing in nature that is completely scratch proof.

Just some info for anyone looking for a data/charging lead.

I recently bought one of these from ebay because it looked like it might be suitable.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mini-Black-20-Pin-USB-Charge-Cable-for-Samsung-D808_W0QQitemZ200449336620QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Mo bilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneBatte ries?hash=item2eabb6252c

it was worth a punt for a few pounds but unfortuntely i can confirm that they are NOT suitable

Although they look similar there are some vey specific differrences, the Samsung connector is about .5mm smaller across it's width and about .25 mm less in it's thickness (very approximate values as I don't have calipers to measure it ).

Also the angles on the edges of the connector are pitched slightly differently

The biggest difference however is this connector has 20 high density pins on one side only. The opposite side is just the metal shroud. Whereas the S9 connector has two opposing rows of 10 pins each which are also staggered offset from each other.

Once you know this difference it easy to tell them apart by sight even though the outer casings are physically very similar.

Hope this helps someone in their search for this elusive cable.

I don't like having to carry my full cable around and having been unable to find a small substitute I reckon i'm going to end up buying a second "official" cable cut it very short and solder on a micro USB socket to make an adapter i can use it with my retractable USB lead or any standard USB charger.
