Thanks Sam. I've ordered that 2nd USA one as it looks like my long lasted Nokia case.

That krussel looks like one I had where the stitching fell apart rapidly. Mine was as fake. Butt ugly for £22 lol :)

I've ordered the first USA one. I hope the swivel belt clip will work well.

Just received this. Not bad from the US! Fat case takes the milfeng rubber case too. Looks identical to my long lasting Nokia case. Very happy! :D

Can recommend http://www.amazon.co...45552916&sr=8-2, a bit tight on the volume buttons, but not a deal-breaker, very cheap+looks good and feels solid as well :)

A little update on that case, don't buy it, starts getting a discoloured look (dark grey-ish) after almost two weeks in use, and unable to scrape/wash it off. I would advise buying a different colour than white if you want one for the same price, ordered a black one from a different vendor now. Can update when I get it. Hope this saves someone the trouble :)

Which sort of material are these cases on Ebay? Like this: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4abb80b72f

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item23218cde84

Are they the soft silicone/jelly-like material that is sort of floppy and feels a little spongey, or the translucent hydro-gel that is slick, less flexible and fairly hard?

They are the harder plastic material i.e. still flexible but will keep its shape - which I think is much better than the silicone/jelly cases which can get softer over time and eventually be literally falling off the phone.

I've got one of these, don;t like it at all, too thick and bulky.

I also got a "frosted" clear gel skin, which is much better, and a hard cover http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-SLIM-FITTED-HARD-ARMOR-BACK-COVER-CASE-SKIN-FOR-HUAWEI-ASCEND-G300-PHONE-/160871129041?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2574aa9fd1 which is probably best of the lot, as it doesn;t cover the power button.

I ordered the Nillkin with a screen protector for £5, coming from China though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261069759362

Saw this just now, for those who want a hard back cover

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item337ad506fa

Case + screen protector for £1.49 with RM 1st class delivery, looks like a bargain.

Received my Meifeng case today. Only took about ten days, so pretty happy with that.

The case itself is great.

I've ordered a Meifeng gel case too, I've heard the quality is great.

Also ordered a leather flip one tide my over until the Meifeng arrives from HK.

Managed to pick the leather one up for 99p + free shipping (and a free screen protector)

I guess the seller may of made a pricing error whilst listing it as since I purchased it the price has changed to £2.99.

I got this one that looks identical to the Meifeng one for £5 on ebay...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180921791625;jsessionid=303FFB800EB7038E443E9103D9C717A1?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D180921791625%26_rdc%3D1#ht_815wt_1186

It fits pretty well but adds too much bulk to the phone making it look really clumpy and ugly. Wish I hadn't wasted my money. Took it off after an hour. Bareback all the way now ;D

I was looking for a Nillkin case but couldnt find a UK seller so Ii thought I'd get one of these to tide me over at 99p.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/S-LINE-WAVE-GEL-SKIN-CASE-COVER-MINI-STYLUS-PEN-FOR-HUAWEI-ASCEND-G300-/320953070467?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item4aba4b3383

Expecting something cheap and cheerful I was amazed at how good the case is .All the holes in the right places with a snug fit and covers the edges of the phone nicely. The rigidity is very similar to the nillkin cases and there is a "bobbled" edge on the left and right hand edges for extra grip.

Quite frankly I'm so pleased I'm now not going to bother with a Nillkin case .

It's a steal at 99p with a scren protector and stylus thrown in.... for some reason the same seller has what looks like the same covers listed at £2.90 & £3.90 so I dont know if it's a misprice.

I'm not a fan of cases at all - love the way they look and feel at first but they are too bulky in my pocket - which is why I've always bought candybar phones because i put them in my front/left pocket with screen inwards and dont even know i'm carrying one - always use the same pocket to keep to my routine of make sure it's otherwise empty - no change, no keys, no dust, no half eaten sandwiches - even when it's empty, nothing, but nothing (no crap), ever goes in my fornt left pocket but my phone

Liked the look of the new gel covers, bought one, + fits like a glove, + looks like it could withstand 15 megatonne neucler blast + or a drop onto the pavement (rubber edges) - phone is now twice as heavy - twice as thick - felt like a packed lunch in my pocket. Perfect for a farmer or a builder but not for me - took it straight off never used it

I would like a phone case just for holidays (like a camera), on holidays i actually like the reassurance of knowing my phone is in my pocket (and I haven't lost it), and I would be looking for a leather cover with flip top (easy/quick to whip out the camera), It also needs to have easy access to camera lens and must have a camera cord - most phones used to have a hole for a camera cord but dont seem to have that nowadays so the leather case would have to have one

I tried the gel cases and they felt very bulky. I eventually settled for a Nillkin one from eBay. It's neat, unobtrusive and imo bridges the gap between gel and leather covers: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nillkin-Hard-Case-Cover-LCD-Guard-Huawei-Ascend-G300-NFC-U8818-U8815-Black-/130778673318?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item6423e03bc6

I am new member and joined because I read Modaco a lot, and I noticed that a lot of my traffic was coming from this forum and this thread! Thanks to jikobutsu for linking to my listing in Post #161.
