Summary: GREAT CASE FOR DISPLAYING MY CUTE PHONE!
Review: I wanted a nice case for holding my cute phone. I changed the cover and wanted to be able to display the cute color. And this was the perfect case for it. I can feel my phone vibrate just fine with the case clipped on my pants pocket. The only reasons for concern are that the phone still gets dirty because of the breaks in the cover, which really are unavoidable. And the clip has loosened with its use. Other than that, it's a great case for displaying a phone that is fun and colorful - it can't hide!

Summary: Pretty Nice!!
Review: I wrote a previous review of this item when I first received it. It was NOT published, so I suppose I'll write another review, and sum my comments up a bit. My first review of this item was MUCH more negative, granted I had had the item for about an hour and simply went out of my mind trying to get the phone out of the case. But, continuing on. . .

I'm not big on phone cases. Never have been. I think it defeats the whole purpose of buying an attractive faceplate. Although, since my recent switch to the 3390, the size of this phone really prompted me to think otherwise. This is pretty much the ONLY case I would use. It's a high quality item backed by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty (or so it says so on the packaging).

When I purchased this case, I was under the impression that the plastic did NOT cover the buttons. I was wrong. It just appeared that way to me in the picture because of the seam around the plastic on the front. When I saw this, I thought I would HATE this feature. Well, after a few weeks of use, I don't. It doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I kind of like it. I doubt that anyone else would mention this, but when your a woman that wears makeup, and you have your face pressed up to the phone for any more than a few minutes, makeup remnants can gather around the buttons and the plastic covering the display. The same thing happens to me with my cordless. Well, now I don't have that problem. WHOOOOPEEE!! LOL Granted you get smears of makeup on the plastic, but that's MUCH easier to wipe off, compared to picking at your cell phone buttons with your fingernails. Anyway. . .

This is a great case. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the difficulty to remove the phone from the case. The first time I tried to get it out, I swear I almost had a mental breakdown. I switch between two batteries to avoid waiting for it to charge, and this is simply NOT a good case if you intend on using two batteries. I still do, I just realize that it will take me about 5 minutes of constant pulling, shifting, and struggling to get it out. Now that I have a little more practice, my awareness of the necessary maneuvering tactics has improved. It's still a pain, though. But, DEFINITELY WORTH IT to have the protection of my phone in such a stylish flare.

If someone were to take this case away from me, I'd probably go nuts! It's so much easier to hold the phone now. Just keep one minor detail in mind, though. The metal belt clip covered in plastic seems to take the finish off of my faceplate. There are these shiny markings on the back of the faceplate in two spots. Normally this would really irritate me, but since I don't plan on using my phone without this case, it really isn't a big deal to me. I just thought I'd mention this to anyone that might care.

All in all, I think it's obvious that I am pleased with this product, and I would not go without it. If you care about displaying your faceplate, this is the case for you!! I bought two of them. I would have bought more, but the availability stated that there were only two left. Now I really wish I could have gotten more to give as gifts. Something to keep in mind for future purchases from Amazon.com!!

Summary: Be a Showoff
Review: I've always wondered why people spend lots of money on faceplates for their phones, only to hide them with a leather case. Body Glove's Prism Cases allows you to better show off your inner you, or at least, your outer phone.

This case is solidly constructed. High grade, heavy clear vinyl is used throughout. A rugged, continous seam holds the case together in back. A positive snap button flap on top secures your phone in place. A solid metal clip comfortably holds your phone to your belt. The front and sides are seamless, (unlike many cheaper clear cases) so all the outside world sees is your snappy looking phone beneath a slick, glossy vinyl sheen. What's more, your phone won't get scratched up nearly as easily, so you'll always have that "new faceplate look".

This cover does change the feel of the phone. The vinyl, unlike the plastic shell of the phone, is quite grippy, and you'll find that you drop your phone less often. If you do, the vinyl will protect your from most scratches, just not the impact itself. Well placed holes expose the microphone, speaker, headset, and recharging jacks, so you'll have no problems there. The screen is plainly visible, and all your buttons are accessible, including the power button at the top. As with all protective cases, leather, or otherwise, the clear vinyl does take away the feel of the buttons, so it's harder to operate the phone by touch. Also, those with sweaty ears or hands may want to get a more absorbent leather case instead. And no case made today is compatible with the desktop charging stand--you'll have to take the phone out before you dock it. Taking the phone in and out of the case is difficult at first, but gets easier with just a few tries.

Despite these issues, it's a beautiful case for your beautiful phone. If you've spent the money to make your phone look nice, this Body Glove is worth the price. No other case will enhance the look of your phone better.

Summary: it's ok....
Review: It looks and functions great. However, I just got a new faceplate and cannot remove the case! It's giving me a headache. I don't want to tear/rip it. Bah!
If you plan on having ONE faceplate the entire time, then this case is great--if not, then good luck taking it off.

Summary: Fits like a glove
Review: Just received two of these for the Nokia 3360 for my wife's and my phones. They are great. Fit the phones very will. The holes for charging and ear bud, speaker, etc. are perfectly placed. This is a quality procuct.

Summary: Defective Product
Review: The snap closure broke within the first week. Despite the reviews, the case is not tight enough to hold onto the phone without the snap.

Summary: The Prism case is one of the best cases I have ever used
Review: This case by Body Glove provides excellent protection from scratches by covering the phone almost entirely. The plastic that covers the face of the phone does not interfere with the operation of the phone, and is much better quality than the plastic fronts on aftermarket leather cases.

There are openings on the bottom of the case for access to a car cord /charger and a handsfree jack. The slim belt clip sturdy and large enough to fit almost any belt, or secure the phone in a pocket.

This case is no bulkier than any leather case, and fits the 3390 as well as, if not better than, the OEM leather case that Nokia provides.
Overall, this is possibly the best case for the money that is available today.

Summary: Nice and secure
Review: This case does a great job of protecting my Nokia phone. What I like best about it is that its clear design allows my "designer" phone cover to be visible.

What I dislike about this case is that little specks of dust and debris can work themselves between the case and the phone. To me this is very irritating to look at. The case fits very snugly, which makes taking it on and off for cleaning away dust a bit of a challenge. Also, the manufacturer says you can power your phone off and on by depressing the button area on the top of the phone without unsnapping the case. Even with fingernails, I find this to be untrue and I need to unsnap each time I want to power my phone. (probably also a contributor to the dust entry)

What I like about this case is that it does an excellent job of protecting the phone. I have dropped my phone and it slid across the floor. No damage to the phone or case. :-)

My only other comment is my teenage son's remark when he saw the case: he said it looked like one of those plastic slipcovers that a grandma would put on her sofa.

He's right, it's not a stylin' leather case, but it's excellent protection, water resistant and allows your custom phone cover to show though.
