Krussell Horizontal Case for C500

[Guest Alpha4]

Has anyone bought this case? What do think of it?

It's marketed as being for the C500 but I'm not so sure. Two reasons why really:

1) The phone can fall through the hole in the bottom of the case if you're not very careful when putting it back in whilst the case is on your belt. Make sure that you put it back in horizontally, not slightly vertically or like me, or it will drop straight through the hole onto the floor. Luckily mine dropped on carpet indoors, but if it had fell onto concrete... then bye-bye C500. Seems a bit if a major design fault for a case thats supposed to protect your expensive phone.

2) The case seems quite a bit bigger than the handset. So I'm carrying the phone arround in a case thats bigger and fatter than it needs to be.

If anyone knows of a better fitting horizontal case, maybe something specifically tailored to the C500, then please point me at it.

Yep, I have that case and yes my phone also fell down the hole, luckily also onto carpet. The only logical reason I can think of for the hole is to help you get the phone out easily.

The thing that bugs me is that often when I'm getting the phone out, I nudge a button and the C500 drops the call. Do you also get that?
