Essential apps... You must get FExplorer now at version 1.15 and also XXL ScreenSaver, version 1.09. Both these apps are excellent and what amazes me is that they remain as freeware. :icon14: Quality. 😃

Hmm not sure about cover/protector... Do you want to be able to use the phone whilst in the protector? If so then you are best off asking in a phone shop. Personally, I prefer to use the phone unhindered so got a really cool holder from Jessops (the camera store chain). It allows the phone to be clipped to your belt and is well padded with a nice soft interior so the phone is extremely well protected. I also got a generic leather pouch holder which seems tailor made for the N70 and was �4.99 from PC World. I swap between the two as my mood changes.

Steve,

I bought a silicone case from ebay for around a fiver.

Just go to ebay and search for "n70 silicone case". They fit the phone perfectly and have holes in all the right places for camera lens, light sensor, memory card flap etc.

Mine also came with a screen protector and neck strap.

I'm afraid I don't 😞

The pouches were in a bargain bucket bin with loads of cases mainly for digital cameras. The leather pouch I got was red leather outside with a navy suede interior. The belt strap was very secure in that it used a button popper and velcro.

The phone slide in through the top and the flap would flip over the top and again fasten down with velcro. You wouldn't be able to use the phone in the pouch but the phone was a good fit inside and remains well protected.

I would have preferred black as opposed to red but at �4.99 you can't really complain. Having said that I seem to be using the other case I got from Jessops as it is more padded. It's like a ski jacket for a mobile phone but then I am doing a lot of site work at the minute so prefer greater protection offered. Approx �11 from Jessops.
