Of course everyone has their own opinion but I think the Bugatti Comfort case is a great choice. I have one for my 9300 and now the E90 and they are beautiflly made. The stiching is absolutely perfect and it's not bulky like some of the others I have seen. Plus the belt clip rotates, nice when getting in and out of the car a lot like I do. The down side is that it is not clear on the front so you have to take it out to see who is calling. But the phones fit in the case is absolutely perfect and it is a vey high quality product with very good protection.

I purchased mine from Blueunplugged.com.

Hi vsmith

The Bugatti was also my case of choice and had one for my first UAE E90 that i sold with it and it really was great case my second case got sold when 02 totally mucked up my order and i got a N95 8gb instead now i wish i had kept that case. As having now got a UK E90 with warranty wanted one again on purchasing the case again it was suddenly out of stock which took a week for me to be informed and then i couldn't find one again.

So i have now ordered the PDAir pouch case and once that arrives will let you know how i find that works, i do like the quality of PDAir cases although the book style with the plastic over the keyboard was a definite no for me. If it doesn't work out i will try and find a Bugatti case again.

I used the Bugatti until it came unclipped from my trousers whilst out walking the dogs ... taking my precious E90 with it 😞 You can imagine I wasn't about to trust another one to a Bugatti case!

The PDair pouches have much stronger clips (but still easy enough to get on and off a belt / waistband). I much prefer the look and accessibility of sockets (for headphones, charger, etc.) of the horizontal version, but find it bulky on my relatively slight frame. The vertical one (which I had to order from PDair in USA, as I couldn't find any UK stockists) is seriously ugly by comparison, and doesn't have all the useful cutouts, but it does have the same good clip. So far, it's keeping my replacement E90 safe.

Blueunplugged just got them in about a week ago as mine was a pre-order so you may give them a try now.

Hi all,

Well my PDAir Pouch case arrived and as usual for PDAir it is a great quality leather and stitching with a really good belt clip that sits flat and a good flap as well. In fact i much prefer it to my original Bugatti case which i thought previously was the best. It gets a highly recommended from me.

Personally, I think the PDair vertical pouch is as ugly as sin compared with their horizontal one, and I much prefer the magnetic press-stud on the horizontal version compared with the magnetic-only closure on the vertical. And there are no cutouts to allow use of power, headphones, USB, etc., whereas the horizontal version has cutaways that allow access to all of these (depending on which way up you put the phone into it).

It's still more secure than the Bugatti though (it has a much stronger clip), and the one I'm using every day. I only wish they'd got the same designer(s) on the case (pardon the pun) as the one(s) who designed the horizontal one.
