Hey all:

I'm looking for a good cover / protector for my K750i. I've had cell phones for years and I've had some bad covers too.

I don't mind paying a little more for a good product. Thing about covers is that you can't test them before you buy.

I'm thinking a nice soft leathery one but I don't really care that much. The phone just has to remain completely functional with it on (buttons and joystick most importantly), and I know some covers impede the functionality sometimes.

Recommendations?
Thanks.

@leibniz - Looks like it will be the Krussell case for you here mate. I don't use much of this kind though which covers the fone - entirely, and just leave some openings on the camera lens and clear plastic on the keypads. If ever you want just a plain leather case where you will just PUT your K750 - in, why not try the Sony Ericsson ICE-25 Leather Case pal. I've regularly used this one with my K700i, T68i, T630, T28s and . . . yes, with my K750i then too! Good Luck! [addsig]

Thanks JN. Actually that is a good option - to have a nice case to put it in, and then when I use it, I can just take it out of the case. I know everyone has different usage levels, but mine are rather low, so although this solution wouldn't be for everyone, it might be a good one for me.

Thank for the post...

@dima69: Thanks, but I was actually thinking of "dust covers for scratch protection" as opposed to actualy phone covers. But that first image looks like it has a clear [plastic?] cover that overlays the screen only... is that right?

There's always a myriad of options. I could always just buy extra case covers and screens, and then replace them when they scratch. Then I wouldn't even need a dust cover.

Right now my dust cover is a little plastic bag. Works great.

Those covers look amazing!

Are they for K750i? The shortcut buttons look different?

Where can I get them?

Unfortunately they're not real. It's photoshoped W800.

Sorry

For my K750 I'm currently using :

a silicon case like the pivot silicon case (http://www.pivothk.com/pocketskin/sonyericsson_skin.htm)
Great feeling, not too much increasing size, good protection, absorbing shock, good looking (some people ask me : "Did you have an hardening cellular ?" )...

a screen protector

and the se ice-25 leather pouch

@leibniz - I just thought if you already have seen an ICE-25 Leather Case pal Here it is beside a K700i . . . the K750i will sure fit in it as well, as I've used the very same case when I still had my K750i then.

Thanks JN, that ICE-25 case looks rather bulky and I'm sure I wouldn't use it...

@brouno: that case at http://www.pivothk.com/pocketskin/sonyericsson_skin.htm looks really sweet. That's exactly the kind of case I was thinking of. Something that affords protection from dust and scratches, but doesn't add [much] to the size. I like to keep the phone in my pocket.

Are there any issues navigating with the joystick or pushing the buttons?

I notice it's pricey. $20USD just for the cover? I know it's fancy new OAD technology and all... but still.

That's a close fit for my needs... but a little expensive at this point...

Thanks everyone for posting your thoughts... I'd like to only have to do this once...
