Default [Q] Where can you buy the original Omnia 7 case?

On the official Omnia 7 site you can see a leather case, but not where to buy that thing.
http://www.omnia7.samsungmobile.com/ (down right under "accecories")

Have somebody seen this? I'm from Germany so german sites would be the best, but any hint is appreciated.

I'm searching for a good case too.
Something like this:
cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-BLACK-FLIP-LEATHER-CASE-IPHONE-4-4G-/140475642729

A word of warning when choosing a case for your Omnia 7: try to avoid any case designs where you'll be regularly sliding the phone in and out vertically from the top. The design of the battery cover release is such that when you slide the phone out of a snug fitting case, it tends to pull down on the release switch, allowing the battery cover to come off once the phone has been fully removed from the case.

This wouldn't be a problem if the release switch was flush with the shell of the phone, but for some unfathomable reason (seriously, Samsung: what was the point of this?), it was designed to stick out very slightly.

Annoying.

Very good point gcaw! Altough my cover release is quite sturdy, indeed you need to be careful buying a case that is way too snug. A "looser" case/sleeve should be no problem though...
