Question about the Cowon D2 and Running

Ornat777 · 02-18-2008, 15:01

Hello Every Buddy, If my message is on the worng forum, im sorry, i am a new user here so i dont know where to post this question.
Well i still didn't buy the cowon d2 because i have to make sure that this player is not too large... well this is what i mean by saying not too large...
Can i do Sports such as running, training and more with cowon d2?
I mean, with nano ipod wich is really thin and little i can easy run without problems, i just put the nano into my pocket but when it comes to d2 i dont think it will be that easy because its a bit larger player...
Now from your experience can you run with your cowon d2 or do other active things with the player?
The answer to this question is really important to me because this is the only reason im hesitating if to buy the D2 or not...
Please Answer me if you can...
Thanks!

the sizes of d2 are 78.0 X 55.4 X 16.6 mm (W x H x D)
you can use it for running but you should use some case for it (like the leather, not the plastic because isn't protecting the screen).
there is option available for using the 3 upper buttons (- menu +) for pause and forward and backward(tracks).
hope this help.

Id recommend using an armband or something of the sort for running if you were to do so, because it is a little too big to just put in your pocket and run with.

I'd rather say that D2 is a little bit thick. I think that width and height are perfect for in-pocket use...

Second the armband thing, and dont use white earphones as you will get robbed

I use it in the gym with a silicone skin and an armband. No problems so far.

The pictures are deceiving, it is quite small. It is quite a bit smaller than a deck of cards in all dimensions.

I use mine in my pocket at the gym all the time.

Are there many issues with scratches on the screen? Goenitz, you mentioned a silicone case, does this come with a screen protector? (The zskin i have for my X5L does so i'm curious)

yodudedudeyo · 02-21-2008, 21:48

since i got my D2, i havent removed the screen protector it came with...so i have no idea if touch usability will be any different with or without one

The official Cowon dealer in my country whipped up this "accesory pack" that came with two silicone skins (one red, one white), one armband, one screen protector and a necklace. All for 20-22 bucks.

I checked jetmall and most of the things seem very similar to the "original" accesories. The screen protector was of average quality, and it fit quite well (almost no gaps on the edges of the screen).
