Rating: Summary: Great case for a tiny phone Review: Picked this up when I got the Nokia 8260 - couldn't find a leather case anywhere but Amazon that was built for this tiny phone. It works GREAT! perfect size and perfect fit - just a little pricier than I'd expected...
Rating: Summary: this discription doesnt agree with the picture Review: The picture shows NO clear plastic cover.. and no belt clip other than a post to HANG on a clip (does that come with it) The description does not agree with the picture. This case is 14.99 in most malls. Please post a more accurate picture to substantiate the price. Someone please edit this description or update the picture. I think everyone is looking for a plastic cover for the front of this phone to protect its finish, and I will not buy this product until I know what it truly looks like.
Rating: Summary: A little Duct Tape Review: The release of the velcro as it swiveled past the belt clip just cost me a new phone. Nokia Customer service denied even the slightest hint that their design might be slightly flawed. Duct tape around just the case at the velcro fastener, provides a lovely silver accent, and keeps the velcro from being released as the case swivels past the belt clip. The tape can be removed to replace the battery when that becomes necessary. It does rather defeat the use of the desktop charger, or any other accesory which connects to a "standing" phone.
Rating: Summary: Clip Case Problems Review: The swivel case is a nice idea, but if you happen to sit down and the phone doesn't swivel in the anticipated direction, the plastic belt clip will break and disconnect from the connector on the back of the leather case. This will allow the phone to fall, or worse, land quietly where someone else will find it. If you shop around you can find an aftermarket leather case that will fit this phone like a glove, which has a stiched on clip on the back, like a better eyeglass case. The case also has a clear plastic vinyl sheet which covers the keys and doesn't interfere with dialing at all. (and a detatchable wrist strap) I have been happier with the aftermarket leather case.
Rating: Summary: phone falls out Review: This case attaches very well to the belt clip but the problem is that during the first few weeks of use (and sometimes beyond) the phone can fall out of the case. The phone is held in by a velcro peice near the top of the phone and it can catch on stuff (like a coat) and come undone. Then the phone falls out (but the case stays firmly attached to my belt. Also since the case does not cover the front of the phone there is nothing to protect the display on the phone and it tends to scratch very easily.
Rating: Summary: YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PHONE IF YOU USE THIS CASE Review: Though the clip on the phone is nicely designed and sturdy, the actual leather case leaves much to be desired. The case is barely large enough to strap over the top of the phone. This, along with the limited velcro surface area, cause the strap to come loose easily. Furthermore, the phone attaches to the clip on a rotational pivot, allowing the case to turn upside down on your belt spilling the phone. I lost my phone 2.5 weeks after receiving this case.
