The entire unit is rounded and curvy, and looks pretty cool. The rear of the Vibez is a stainless steel (think iPod) easily removable cover (definitely NOT iPod) that allows access to the battery and accessory slot.
The glossy plastic disk just detracts from the otherwise sleek and elegant appearance of the device. The rest of the front unit, including the scroll wheel, is a very cool, rubberized matte black. This plastic disk/screen is glossy, which invites glare. The top circle is not a round screen, but a round plastic "disk" that contains a traditional screen masked in a rectangular black border. The front of the unit is black, with two large "circles" dominating the design - a screen on top, and a huge scroll wheel under it. The resulting design resembles a sleek candy-bar style wireless phone more than it does a portable MP3 player. TrekStor commissioned one of Munich's top design studios for the Vibez, and it definitely stands out from the pack. What happens when the Germans design things? In my opinion, they look great.
Germany's best-selling brand of digital portable media players, TrekStor, has introduced their first hard drive based MP3 player for the US market, and it is large capacity portable called the Vibez. And although Apple dominates the market share, their popularity encourages competition, and with competition comes choice, which is always a good thing. It seems the market continues to be flooded with portable MP3 players chasing the iPod.
