Hello all,
Ive been scouring ebay for a crystal case but hesitant due to getting one from O2 and the back part not fitting properly (it didnt clip over the back case cover fully also no hole for the card door).
Has anyone bought one from ebay that managed both sides to clip over?
Also these peeps that sell DVDs with loads of software n stuff. Are they any good? Are the programs (Handy Safe for example) full versions and free? if so can anyone point me in the right direction which is best as with the case. Be much appreciated.
Crispy 😊
i just got a .99 cent crystal case from eBay in the mail today and I"ll say that I'm really impressed.
Its the old 'cant be any good if it's .99 cents' mentality, but I was quite pleasantly surprised w/ the fit and quality. It's much less bulky than i expected and much less bulky than the leather cases I've seen. The case that i have fits perfectly on the back and has a hole for the memory card. All functionality of the phone is accessible w/ this case. The one that I bought has the larger round hole for the camera instead of the one that has the hole only over the lens and flash. It's tapered very nicely to allow easy button use.
I'll have to trim maybe a hair line off of two small points that prevent the case from a smooth slide on the media button side, but other than that this is the best investment yet. I almost dropped $50 on the Noreve leather case but I'm going to stick w/ the crystal for now.
Another bonus is that if I want to, i can just use the top portion and it's still very sleek. The back cover has a great fit, but not as necessary in my opinion, and they work independently of each other.
My only regret is not getting two in the event this one gets cracked.
I have tried a couple of different ones including the one you have talked about and another that has got the memory card hole (this one was alright - but the bottom part of the case stopped it from moving into the landscape mode). I am sad to say though that its a complete waste of money because whilst these are done very tightly to the phone, it also cracks very easily.
The longest I have had the crystal case on is only 2 weeks before a crack appeared. Only took another week before the case was unusable because the crack stopped it from holding together anymore and just fell apart.
I would suggest going with a "normal" leather case to put it in instead.. Or be prepared to endlessly pay for crystal cases every month (which will build up to be a pretty expensive affair).
lol. my crystal case broke after about 5 days of normal (non abusive) use. I retract my previous statement about it being a good investment. I'll wait for the Nokia Leather case to start shipping in the US.
Actually, I find the Silicon cases to be pretty good for durability. They really do not look too good and makes the phone quite "fat", but they are much more handy than the leather cases and as usable as the crystal. Just a little on the ugly side. At least Silicon doesnt crack like the crystal ones!
I dont mind it as long as it protects the phone I guess..
BTW.. you can get the crystal ones in a smokey black now.. looks good.. but still probably prone to cracking.
