Not A Great Case (But Unfortunately You Don't Have A Choice In The Matter) I bought an Archos 504 less than a month ago (it doesn't work anymore but I'm withholding doing a scathing review--if they get it fixed & it works okay after that I'll give them a good review). I bought the case a week later because the case it came with was cheap and useless (as in made of vinyl, no belt clip and no access to buttons.) I don't even why they bothered to put that one in...why not raise the price by $10 and give us this case? But I digress...
This case looks fairly s...

Only Offers Protection I purchased this item primarily because the 504 lacks its own stand. It's really nice to view it without having to lay it flat or hold it in your hands. But there are two problems with the "stand" function. It is at a near vertical angle, which is not optimal for viewing, and it can tip forward when you are trying to set it up. The second problem is that the snap that holds the cover in place to function as a stand, pops out really easily. It takes some effort to get it to stand properly. ...
