Guest meinnit Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 The Silicone Gel case (E71 nokia) is perfect guys. Camera on back is exposed. I can press all the buttons no problem. VERY snug fit, combined with a screen protector you have good all round protection. I think the mic is also exposed at the bottom left (if that is the mic...) USB port exposed. Headphone jack exposed. Very pleased with this purchase! On another note I got the email to say it had been dispatched this morning, got home and it was there lol. I'm guessing the email was delayed. Andy I got mine today too (also got delayed dispatch email!) I haven't tried plugging in headphone or USB but you might want to make the hole slightly bigger to give it a better fit. I will check tomorrow and report back. I don't think the mic is in that position. This was one of my concerns that covering the phone in a protector would affect call quality for the caller. This is also something I have yet to test. I am pleased too! I really like the look of it. Looks a lot more professional than some of the other cases I have seen about.

Guest AndyHibberd Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yea I might make the headphone jack a bit bigger... Good quality tho, the design on the back is cool but subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goatee Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks for the info - i900 screen protector, and E71 gel case ordered :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AndyHibberd Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Pictures of the case as requested: ps it's still possible to press the power button on top through the case easily enough. In fact I prefer it this way because it feels like it will last longer with this method. Softer press required.

I am thinking of getting it but cutting down the bottom so it doesnt cover the buttons. do you think this will be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AndyHibberd Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 You could cut it. I might cut the headphone jack area and the microusb area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AndyHibberd Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 It's black transparent. As in the colour of the case is black, but it has a translucency to it. It's not a solid colour. I like it. Best screen protector is i900. Image is unimpeded now but the first time I put it on I was getting a bit of lens cover, doesn't seem to be a problem now though, taken a few photos today. You could always trim this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deweylewie Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks. The pictures on avforums made it look like an opaque spongey material but yours looks like it's solid and translucent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AndyHibberd Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 It's solid. More like flexible plastic than silicone. It will provide adequate protection for heavy impacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FrownBreaker Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 thanks, went ahead and ordered :P £99.99 now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrownBreaker Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Is there anybody who get the chance to test if the Otterbox impact case fits for the SF. I dont like this silicon cases but the otterbox one looks a little bit nicer than the 3Pound ebay kondoms. Maybe the Material of the otterbox is better and i can cut the silicon a little bit more to access the 3 Hardbuttons. Picture of a SF in an otterbox would be nice. Not tried it but cheaper at mymemory £8.99 http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Nokia-Cases/Otte...for-Nokia-E71-- Edited October 25, 2010 by FrownBreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ezablade Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Presume you had to cut the gel case to uncover the microphone? If not, what's the sound like for the other person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AndyHibberd Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I've had no sound complaints from a couple of calls I have made but have not conducted extensive tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
