I don't know if anyone has noticed, but PDair did finally make their leather case for the 770, I just stumbled upon it yesterday on this site:

The above-listed place also sells them on eBay...

It is also on the PDair site, under "Nokia", then "E770"

This looks very nice, I will probably order one today...I have never used the sliding cover on my 770, I just hate having to mess with it, plus I usually turn my unit off or lock it manually to avoid draining the battery.

I can vouch for the quality of the PDair cases, they are very high-quality (near Vaja)...I have their book-style case for my Libretto U105, and it has been fantastic, and looks very similar to the 770 case.

I'm surprised no other companies like Brando, EB cases, vaja, etc. have not come out with 770 cases...seems like there is a market for it...
