[N900] Do not buy this screen protector
 
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Poor quality, not a tight fit round the phone like it should be, which means it's all flappy and horrible, complete waste of money.

Just letting you know

I'm not sure what i got, but its black and made of plastic/rubber and sits tight and firm like secretary on boards meeting. Bought it from ebay for couple of euros.

Hope you gave them bad feedback.
Looking at their feedback it seems not a day went past when someone was dissatisfied

I bought this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-GEL-CASE...item27adaeea6e.

I'm happy with this - not as shiney as pictured and looks much better in real life - they should really get a better picture.
(I was panicking thinking great I've just ordered a gimp outfit for my phone! Looks like I am talking into a dildo!).
Luckily the case is more translucent and thankfully looks fine.

I was surprised to discover there was no cut-out for the screen because the case covers it. The screen is still visible through it, however becomes less responsive and air bubbles are visible. Also the camera and volume buttons are covered (slighlt raised) as well. The camera button is much harder to use.
I may cut-out the buttons and expose the screen too.

The back cover was slightly distorted when I opened the packaging but settled back into shape after 24hrs.

The good thing about it is that it is soft and will absorb some impact if dropped - hard cases won't help with this.

I'm very happy with it and it only cost Ģ2.90.

I bought one of these cases - they just add (more) bulk and come loose in a few days. Personally wouldnt bother with one.

@Brayo1971

Your welcome, i will be interested to see what you think of yours, maybe mine is a one off. It's a shame because it wouldnt be to bad if it was a tight fit on the phone, but it's not, it just sort of hangs over it!

I think i will avoice the silicon shells completely and go for a leather pouch instead.

I bought this one from pdair: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product...ducts_id=26637
It isnīt tight either. Totally loose. A waste of time and money.
Strange, I was happy with pdair before. I had some Aluminium cases before.
