Updated 5/17/2011 with pics - New Dell Streak 5 leather case... quite impressive!

---

I was bored at work today, so I started perusing the ebay listings for Dell Streak 5 cases.

I found this leather case and I must say, I'm quite impressed with the way it looks. I think I am going to buy one for me and my wife.

it took 3 weeks to arrive from China, but I just got mine & my wife's leather cases in. Not a bad case. I'm torn on wondering if it's worth the $40 I spent on it though...

here are some pictures:
sitting with my streak with the kickstand


front view closed


back view closed (note that the opening for the camera was a bit shallow on mine. I had to cut it out a bit more. My wife's was perfect...)


open with flap/kickstand


side view


Other interesting items...

it doesn't have the cutout to insert the PDMI cord for connecting. Easy enough to cut it out, but I haven't yet. Also, the buttons on top (volume, shutter, on/off), don't have cutouts. there is an overlapping piece of leather that folds over the top of the streak to hold it in, or whatever. I kind of like it


Lastly, there is an elastic band keeping the case closed. I can foresee this wearing out, but nontheless, it's there and it works nicely. you can see it on the front closed view (first pic). Its a lighter brown stripe.

I give this case a 7 our of 10. Definitely better than the stock leather case from Dell. I figure I'll keep my otterbox in my car to mount in my holder and use this one in my backpack and moving about. It protects the streak quite nicely!

Nice like the look of the case.... Looks like PayPal is going to get a hammering

Very impressive

wow...nice indeed...i will wait for you guys to do a review first.i will get one after aswell.cheers for the tip.

Thats probably the best looking case I've seen so far. Love the stand feature! One problem I see is that if you need to take a picture, you won't be able to fold the front flap over because it would be blocking the camera, so you may have to hold it up wit the knuckle of the finger pressing the camera shutter button.

find it.nvm.just cant made my mind with one to buy!

Try the search function m8.

Hm, not a big fan of this one, and it's all because of how the device is held in.

I got the Dell branded leather book case and my favorite thing about it is that the actual piece that holds the phone is thin but very sturdy plastic sewn into the leather on the inside. The plastic covers NONE of the face of the device.

Then again, it cost twice as much, so I can see how this would be a good budget option for the same style.

I always have mine clipped into a my car dock or in a pocket that has nothing in to scratch it,I just use a protector on the screen. It is very nice though and could be a good one for long journeys and storage.
The problem I find is that it's too damn sexy to cover up!

Looks pretty nice
