Default Bought the leather case from dell......not good!

I neededa case so bit the bullet and went to the bank for a small loan.

Well its well made to a good quality, has a nice tight fit, and securely held and protected.
But it makes the phone massive. Impossible to make calls without folding over the case and looking like a plonker. It doesn't fit in your pocket comfortably (tests the stitching of your trousers).
The internal holder within the case is good with a kick stand. I cut this out and use it as a half case witha kick stand. I am also looking at whether this can be used to mount the streak in the car.
In summary........
If you have a big jacket pocket or you carry the streak like a hand bag then this case could be for you. If you don't then give this a wide birth.

Well in the other Dell Accessory thread here I did say the Dell case was rubbish!

I will second that motion. Bought both cases .. posted somewhere here about what junk the plastic one was. Made of the same material as the packaging. .. just thicker and it protects the back side. the part that needs the least amount of protection, leaving the piano finish exposed !!

The pleather wallet thing is just as bad. Covered cardboard. Need to remove the Streak to do anything with it .. Sending both back.

I guess it depends what you do with your Streak. I have mine on a data only contract so no phone calls and I wear trousers with cargo pockets at work so plenty of space for carrying. For me being able to use the Streak while in a good protective case is important, the Dell leather case fits the bill nicely.
