what is it, hard plastic?

looks like dirt and such will get inside that and be visible rather easy, making the phone look messed up anyway!

Got one for my K750i.

The plastic is not as thick as originally thought, mostly around 1mm thick. It does its job- protects the phone from scratches. It probably wouldn't help so much in a case of impact velocity or drops.

All the cut outs are there though the volume key holes are a little harder to press as the indentation isn't all that large. You can still charge the phone as there is a gap between the charger plug and the phone without the case on - the MXE-60 also can fit in when the case is on.

However, its not that tight a fit and there are still a place (where there is a big hole for the camera shutter cover to be accessed) so dirt still gets in through the back.

Unlike what someone mentioned about being tough to take off, it's alright once you know how, the case doesn't have to be cut off for it to be removed.

Is it hard plastic or flexible polyethylene type casing like the following?



If it is hard plastic then how do you put in ON and take it Off , are the two parts clipped together ?

It's hard plastic, possibly polycarbonate. There's two pieces, a back and front which clip together. There's 5 clips in all, one at the top, on between the shutter and volume button, one on the other side of the shutter, one on the bottom left corner next to the fastport connector, and one below the playnow button.

Sounds interesting... Could you please post some photos of your K750 with the case? I would like to see some close ups to see how a black K750 looks in side a crystal housing

Alrighty, hope these help.




The phone with the two halves off



Phone with covers on. Notice that the screen is a bit scratched - it's the polycarbonate that scratches very easily. Better that then the actual phone screen though



Back cover of the phone




Shutter side of the phone



Top view showing screen



As you can see, the cut out for the fastport is large enough for any accessory/charger.



In the dark, with the LED on. Lights up the case, which looks kinda cool imho







Top side of the phone showing cutout for power button as well as the clip next to it




These two photos show that the lens cover can still be open and closed with the case on




K750i with MXE-60


That's all the pics!

Thank you very much for those detailed photos. The phone actually looks ok with the casing. I am considering getting one myself

Cool but isn't it gonna put an extra weight/dimension on your phone... Furthermore the inner part would collect some fabric after putting it inside the pocket quite often. But one thing for sure it is gonna bounce back up if accidentally fall due to the durability of the case. Well as for me I'm happy enough with my hp wrap.

Thanks, Superluminova!

I got it here G-Mask. Its quite an in-thing in Singapore and it have a lot of designs...

Its just like laminating your handphone and its safe and can be remove without any problems... The wrap is purely made of ultra thin film. It protects your phone from moisture and dust up to 7 years!!! W800i is perfect bcoz of its white background and any colour/ design would look great!!
