both my JAM and V3 were supplied with execllent belt pouches so I use those.

SE could learn a thing or two from these when supplying cases for the next P series... I mean, what is the point supplying a case that has no way to attach it to your belt or any other place? I'd rather them not supply it and save me a bit of money which I can put towards a decent case

I have used such a condom case for my K700 but not anymore:
- taking phone in/out might cause scratches if some dirt has creeped in
- in the middle of the screen there is a distortion because the plastic is a bit thicker to provide strenghth
- where the openings are the edges of the plastic are not rounded off; i had the impression that the sharp edgs caused dust to come of from the textile at the inside of your pocket (a bit like scraping of) so there was much more dust around the joystick and speaker; tjust those places you want to keep dust-free
- the quickshare sticker sticked better to the case than to the phone
The only real advantage is that of course you get no scratches but mostly when you put the phone down on a surface the paint on the circle around the camera does not come off.

I have now a classic SE case in fabric, which is barely large enough: when closing it firmly with the velcro the joystick button is pushed. The K700 just fits in. Also the clip is not secure enough, the phone has fallen of once or twice. Scary.

I would like to have just a little bag in thick velvet.

So now it is unprotected unfortunately.

I use the IEC 20 for my V800 and it does have an annoying belt clip
Never 'wear' my phone on my skirt/pants though so I'd rather have a case without belt clip

We should trade masseur!

sorry, I was meaning the cases that SE supply in the box with the P series, not the accessories you buy separately

if I still had a P series phone I'd gladly swap but unfortunately I no longer have any of those

I haven't done anything to protect my phone from scratches. It's in awful condition though. :-D

My P900 came with a pouch that attaches to my belt.

I use a 'Body Glove' (I think that is what it is called) to keep my K700 safe.

SE Holster does it for me.

Although, IT'S grey and I dress mainly in black, it sticks out a little.

But that is a small price to pay for the well-being of my joyful K700i...

*sigh*

I also place it back in the holster when I see chavs approaching
