Customer Rating
4.0
I wanted a case with a good belt clip. After reading the reviews, I bought this one. It is very sturdy and strong. I usually put the phone in the holster facing in and the screen will never be damaged that way. The holster clip is not just a piece of molded plastic that will break some day...it is hinged on with a metal spring. It works smoothly and I don't see it breaking. As another reviewer said, some of the button cutouts are a bit sharp, so I sanded them down a bit with a 220 grit, then an 800 grit. Came out great.
The major issue, as others have said is taking the case off the phone.On the one hand you don't want the case to come off accidentally, but getting this one off is not easy. Pushing the little triangle with your finger or coin will not work. I took a little flat head screwdriver, 1/8 inch wide and very carefully pushed it into the gap a bit to the left of the triangle. Separate slightly while pushing down and the parts will disengage. You won't damage the phone as you are pushing into the case latch not the phone. The only slight drawback is there probably will be a slight nick in the case edge where the screwdriver went in. I am very picky and it doesn't really bother me. Hopefully I won't need to do this often.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this AM/FM radio to use around the house and bicycling. I love it.
PROS: Perfect size and weight
Great sound/reception
Digital clock and presets
Belt Clip
CONS: In my area, weather band not working at all (maybe not available)
Have to turn off radio to see time (minor issue)
Supplied headphones cannot really be used as a wraparound...to use this radio while wearing a bike helmet I had to buy sports headphones. The Yurbud Inspire 200 works best.

Nice sound and features

I bought 3 different sports headphones to see which would be best with my new AM/FM Walkman while biking. The SONY and the JVC sounded very tinny. The Yurbuds easily had the best sound. They seem to stay in well and are very comfortable. I can still hear ambient sounds with them and that is a nice feature while biking. If I find they are durable, I would up this rating to a 5.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Everything
Thought I would try this to get channel 11, which was taken off Cablevision. Set up was a breeze...unfortunately it could not receive a single channel. In addition, raising and lowering the antennas put a black coating on my fingers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

How in the world do you take the case off the phone? It's pretty difficult and I normally never have an issue with a phone case.
Totally agree. On the one hand you don't want the case to come off accidentally, but getting this one off is not easy. Pushing the little triangle with your finger or coin will not work. I took a little flat head screwdriver, 1/8 inch wide and very carefully pushed it into the gap a bit to the left of the triangle. Separate slightly while pushing down and the parts will disengage.

Does it have TV sound?
I was told by Sony customer service that model SRF-M37W also has TV sound but I see no mention of it. Does it have TV sound?
There is no TV sound. I used to have some radios with TV sound and they all stopped working a few years ago when they changed the broadcast formats.
