Leather Case / Pouch

[Guest prufrock]

I can thoroughly recommend the Nokia E71 case mentioned earlier in this thread. It's absolutely fantastic value, it looks brilliant with my SF, my other half is very impressed with how smart it looks, and of course it fits the phone brilliantly. 5 stars from me.

I bought one of these, as they were so cheap. I found the one I got does not fit the phone well. Also, the volume keys are obscured. I'd recommend the one I posted pics of earlier over this one any day. If anyone wants pics of this one, let me know - I'll take some later to show what I mean.

I've just ordered one of these, yes can we have pics please?

The volume keys were okay on my one, I have to admit I did a small amount of filing on the opening for the USB lead / charger; it only took me a minute though, and for £1.74 I really don't mind that at all :P

Says “IF YOU NEED A DIFFERENT SIZE , JUST ASK” I wonder what the best sizes sticker would be to cover up the orange logo without it looking to big?

I don't own a device yet, but I assume the orange logo is not larger than 10x10mm, based on photos and phone dimensions.

I made some sticker mock-ups:

The robot sticker is 21mm high if orange logo is 10mm high or smaller - looks pretty good to me, definitely better than Flibble's one :D

For this one you'd need a 12mm high robot sticker, a 10x10mm white sticker, a modelling knife and a bit of crafting skills to trim things nicely.

For bigger/smaller ones if my assumption about the orange logo is wrong - do your math :P

First off used my original Pulse pouch but it was a little loose as it was well stretched so order the Nokia E71 guanine leather case (in the early post) good fit but not perfect.

I then ordered this one it of ebay.

280556223205 GENUINE POUCH CASE FOR HTC T-MOBILE GOOGLE G1 PO-S460

Turned out to be an original Tmobile case, exact same as the pulse case (Black velvet like outer and a soft fine fleece type liner). New so its not stretched and a perfect fit (doesn’t move in case even when turned upside down).

Here you go. Notice how the phone doesn't sit well in the case, and the volume buttons are obscured. Also, the charger port is partly covered, too:

Don't forget to compare to the photos I posted earlier on in the thread to the £2.50 case (now £2.99, but worth the money, as it's a great fit). Ignore the other case in the photos - that's a Samsung Galaxy S case...it's too big for the SF (and too expensive!).

The seller has got smaller ones (17mmx20mm) - I've asked. In fact, he's got an Orange SF!

Even if you do cut it, the phone still doesn't quite sit properly in the case. That's why I took a photo of the top of the phone - to show how it's not sitting securely in the case.

Hold it above something soft, like a bed and try and shake it free - it might not be perfect, but it is secure

I'd say rather than mess about cutting, just buy this one:

Fits like a glove. (See my pics on page 1). :P

Good call :P

I'm still not convinced this is the right type of case for me, I was out in town the other day carrying a bag with one hand and the phone rang - it was quite an ordeal trying to open it and accept the call with one hand.

This might be inherent to this type of handset, but my old slider phone could manage it no worries!

You've done the hard work for me! Ordered mine yesterday but just messaged the guy in hopes he can make one of my stickers the smaller one.

[Guest amd3000]

I did read somewhere that cases with magnetic clasps can damage the gps function on your mobile. Has anyone found this to be a problem ?

[Guest dadashi]

Magnetic clasps can erase data from the microsd card....

[Guest popoyaya]

Just got delivery of these screen protectors, and whilst they fit perfectly and the "anti-glare" works well and they stop smudging, they do make the display look very grainy which really detracts from the wonderful screen on the SF. Can anyone recommend a more "clear" screen protector?

Totally OT but Ive never been on a forum so many people in my local area. Lowestoft rocks lol, actually not really :

[Guest LorianNod]

Someone may have already posted this, but I bought one of these

And its a perfect fit, not at all baggy. Its nicely made too, and is soft on the inside.

Trust me, it's a whole lot better than London (where I'm originally from). :P

[Guest MIKEYMC]

Yeah visited london many times and I'm not a fan really. Prefer to live in the sticks TBH.

Ordered this too the other day, hope to get it early next week. I did get a 'side opening case' from Tesco on Friday (as mentioned by xzyk in other thread) which has magnetic cover and holds the SF well but its a bit tricky to get the phone out quickly and I think a flip case allows much easier access.

[Guest diggeroony]

This is the E71 case from ebay, very good fit.

[Guest Apnomis]

Hi,

This is my first Post here and I'd like to say "Hi!" and Thanks for this great Forum and your custom Roms!

Also I'd like to use this opportunity to issue a word of warning regarding "Black Leather Case Cover Pouch Orange fit San Francisco" from "1smltd".

I just bought two of them (stupid me!) and this is what I received:

I don't think it requires further comments... eBay doesn't even allow to leave negative feedback earlier than 7 days after the auction... :P

If someone can recommend a proper fitting case, that would be appreciated.

Thanks!

To be fair to the seller I have one of these too and IMO it is a nice case for under 3 quid. Yes it looks big when photographed like that but it is a very flat case and when the phone is in it pushing it out it is a very secure fit with a reasonable amount of padding around the edges which is surely the point of a good case? It even has a nice pop up strap like the HTC cases.

It depends what you want in a case but for me this one is perfect providing a snug fit (even if held upside down) and a couple of cm's clearance around the edges to protect it if dropped...

If not happy ask for a refund rather than just leaving negative feedback, which is unreasonable if you ask me. Most sellers would happily do that rather than get negative feedback...

yep had these for a number of phones, hard wearing soft inside to protect the phone - not bulky at all

Does it need a rubber band to stop the phone dropping out on its own accord...? :P

No, i have the e71 case too, no chance of it falling out

Hi Prufrock, this case looks good as I dont want to put a screen protector on as i think it will take something away from the screen.

With this case, is there any danger of damaging the rubber coating on the SF or the crome bits when it is snapped in to and fixed in the case?

Cheers

Chris
