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...

Why can't Archos make a case that fits its own products? I've owned the Archos 500 and now the 504 and have used about 4 cases between them. Of those 4 cases: 2 came with the devices (the 500 one didn't fit perfectly and the 504 one does not allow access to buttons while encased), one I re-sold since it didn't even come close the fitting the device it was designed for, and lastly is this model.

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. ... [Read A. D.
