can't find the thread where someone suggested the beautifully blindingly obvious solution - you put the 800 "sunglasses case" inside the 700 "sock" and voila! it actually works, tight at the top to stop slippage and pretty much padded enough to prevent mild pocket knocks and scratches.

Why on earth didn't nokia even just do this simple thing? would have saved me having a battle-scarred chipped casing on a three week old device...

definitely the solution for me - I can't stand the idea of make small mobile devices bulky, belt held things wraped in leather
