While it may look like the four buttons around the touch-pad are also touch-sensitive, they are not. They are, in fact, normal buttons, but with a single piece of plastic. The two thin vertical strips at the side of the touch-pad are also buttons.
At the top of the player is the Power-Hold switch as well as headphones jack.

The back of the player features the ripple-effect of the Zen logo. The player came to me with the grey marks, and I could not remove them.

The Zen Vision:M is shorter and thinner than the Zen Vision, which is not surprising considering they are both different classes of players.
