Krusell are now going to release cases for K700i very soon. Here's a sample of what they'll look like.
"The Sony Ericsson K700i leather case made by Krusell. Designed in cooperation with the manufacturers of the French fashion houses Kenzo and Yves Saint Laurent, handmade in exclusive Nappa leather and equipped with the Multidapt® system this case has a both exclusive and unique look and feel."

Krusell has done it again! Good quality casing at very reasonable prices(£12.00)

I'm using the same krusell case that I used with the T610 and T630 and everything lines up close enough not to matter enough that I need to buy yet another case, but its nice to see krusell keeping up with

I've usually done some modification on them by removing the metal-clip or the plastic-clip. This makes the phone hardly any chubbier than any other cases. Although clear plastic cases is the best option if you're concerned about the chubbyness.
I also notice something in the new krusell cases that's not to easily to spot on the picture above.
Look at the top of the plastic clip-slider. They've made a hole for the speaker. So it won't be muffled by the case...coool |

Keeping phones in your pocket isn't always a good idea. Ever so often you might bump into something and hit the phone or you might very well unconsciously put something in the pocket with the phone.

Waiting for better solutions I use my old T610 leathercase bought at Claes Olsson. The fit is almost perfect, and I avoid scratches on the display.

I have tried the Crusell case with my T610, but it turned it into a brick and a half!  I can´t believe those extra few mm can change the feel that drastically (for the worse) I think the cases are absolutely the best, and they really do what they´re supposed to, they´re just not for me. When/if i get really bad scratches on my phones I grit my teeth and buy a new front cover In case of the T610 i went for a red one to separate it somewhat from the umpteen silver ones around.
Cheers!

Looks like the perfect answer to my hunt. I had a similar designed case for my ME45 and loveed it. It's kept the phone pristine. Does this new one have a hole at the base to allow battery charging without removing the phone... and if so, does it allow the rubber seal flap to open & close fully?
Thanks if anyone knows. |

Sorry, I haven't found that out yet. There's no pictures of the bottom of the case. Hopefully since they've paid attention to the hole around the speaker they must for sure have fitted a hole big enough at the bottom so you could open the flap and charge your phone. Let's hope so.

Thanks Tommo21, I'll keep a look out. Here in HK I've found & tried two clear plastic covers. They are OK, but the first one had NO joystick hole so I had to cut one. The battery flap was also partially blocled, meaning you have to remove it to properly open/close it.
You also seal it with sticky flaps, which give up after a while. The case is definitely meant to stay on until replaced, which is was in pretty short order. It did the trick of keeping the phione clean during the sweaty-palmed first few days of fiddling!
The second cover is much better, with properly aligned holes for both joystick and camera. The same battery flap-gap problem exists, which was solved by simply cutting off the "retainer" parts of the case. It also closes with a popper. I'd prefer a case which the camera stays in full-time, and which has a belt clip, but for now, this second one does the trick!
