Summary: Carrying Case for T-28
Review: I believ it is a very nie case and handy; I would like to know if it is possible to import such carrying case to Malta.

Summary: Great case
Review: I love the small size of the Ericsson T28...and this case compliments it well. At first I didn't think I'd like the horizontal case, but I really like it. It keeps the phone close to your body while not jabbing the whole contraption into your hip. Its very comfortable. The phone easily slips in and out of the case, and stays in securely. The only thing holding me back from giving it a five star rating is the clip. It could be a little more secure. Sometimes it slips off the belt.

Summary: Looks good, but could be better in design and function
Review: The case does the job of holding your T28. The blue color is a lighter shade of the phone. The case is actually a holster more than a case in the sense of case that stays on while you operate the phone -- you must remove the phone from the case (attached to your belt) to use the phone. It looks good, but the design is left to be desired.

The design of the case causes the face of the phone facing out away from the body (with the antenna up.) With this design it would have been nice to provide a clear plastic face on the case to allow you to see the display without having to physically remove the phone from the case -- in the instance you receive a phone call, especially if you have the hands free device installed.

Since there is no display on the case to see the display on the phone, a better design would have been to have the front of the phone face the person rather than away (antenna on the bottom.) The current design is inconvenient in the way you grab the phone from the case, the front of the phone faces your palm when you lift it up, forcing you to turn the phone around to see the display. This isn't all that easy to do in one motion with one hand on a phone that's quite small. I've found it the least cumbersome (with one hand) to grab the phone by the antennae to lift it up and turn it to face me, but I still need the phone to "slide" across the palm of my right hand to get to where my fingers can curl around and reach the button to flip open the phone. Overall, not very convenient for one hand use.

The flip side in redesigning the case with the phone face facing your body is that the antennae would be on the bottom, causing more of the phone to be exposed and the case having less grip on the phone. Perhaps the fault is more with the phone itself, having the antennae on the right side of the phone rather than left.

I would like to see a case that always stays on the T28 phone, such as the leather cases you always see nokias encased in, though it would appear to be impossible based upon the flip style of this phone.

Summary: FIVE stars...down to THREE.
Review: When I first got the carrying case, I was really impressed by the sleek design, cool color, and good fit. The phone will snugly fit in there, even with the earpiece attached. That's what I would rated five-stars. But, that soon changed after using it for a couple of weeks. The color is fading especially around the edges. It is not that easy to clean the accumulated dust off the blue fabric. Also, the belt clip is now somewhat loose, allowing the case to easily fall off as you are getting out of your car. I guess as far as belt clips go, the Motorola StarTac Holster's clip is the best I've used because it "hooks" around the belt, not just "clips" on it. That is why I conclude with a three-star rating.

Summary: Comfy, but not very secure.
Review: When I first got this case, I was very impressed with it, in particular, the comfortable fit. It made it a lot easier to carry my phone around. No antennas jabbing you in the gut when you sit down. :)

Unfortunately, there is a drawback -- the phone tends to slip out of the case rather easily...as a result, it has fallen off my belt a few times, and I am currently waiting for a replacement phone to be sent out. Perhaps a thicker battery (and thus a thicker phone) would solve the problem, but I may have to get another case that will hold my phone more securely.
