Looking for a leather case for my new E71 in the United States

I need a leather case for my new E71 & don't really want to wait for shipping from Hong Kong. Anyone know who here in the US carries cases for these phones for a reasonable price? Not looking for anything fancy or expensive.

Hi,

I picked one up off eBay.
Any iPhone case or holster will work I think.
Check item 200244331746 on eBay. This is the one I got and I'm very happy with it. It fits the E71 like a glove.

I ended up buying one already. Item #320283884155 is what I got because it's more the style I wanted. I wanted something that could protect it at all times. More than likely if you're going to drop it you're doing to do so while you're using it so a sleeve type will do you no good for protection. My pants pocket already offers as much protection as one of those sleeves.

That case looks pretty nice, not fancy, just what I like. My only problem is that whenever I've gotten a case from PDAir, their method of making belt clip posts left me wanting. I don't know about now, but in the past their posts tended to stick out way more than other cases with such posts.

Is that still the case (no pun intended, I assure you)?

Can you post some pics when you've got it all sorted?

I assume it's on it's way to the states via slow boat from Hong Kong so it may be a while before it arrives. I'm not planning to use the swivel much if at all so that's not the biggest concern for me. The primary reason for it for me anyway is to protect the phone. I keep it in my pocket anyway so most of the time I won't use the swivel too much so how far it stands out doesn't matter too much to me.

I understand that.

I was just pointing out my issues with the design of their cases, which are otherwise well-made. I'll wait to see what yours looks like before I commit.

Thanks! 😊
