Default "s" curved gel case for samsung i8700 omnia 7

Caring is sharing so here it goes

Found quite a very good inexpensive case for Omnia 7 on ebay.

Paid 5 pound in total and it arrived today Think i ordered last week on Tuesday.

First impression. Very solid and durable. Unlike silicon ones i found around Dublin it doesnt slip of the phone when you take it out of your pocket and it looks brilliant. Grip is perfect. The middle back of the phone isnt too grippy though it would be perfect not getting too stuck in the pocket, but the sides where the reflective back is it offers great grip ive been missing

Also design is great and looks lovely on the phone

One con. The buttons are as easy to push. They dont offer such tacktile feedback as without it. But im sure ill get used to it Actually quite helps to stop accidental buttons presses while in the pocket or playing games

Generally 9 out of 10 One of the best cases ive ever seen

Got the same case. Quality is pretty good, however, I don't like the fact that it also convers the buttons, you have to press through the case to press the buttons, so they're somewhat hard to press.
So I think I'll cut out some space where the buttons are (with a dremel tool)

I didnt like that either. But it actually stopped alot of accidental button presses since.

Main problem here is that the audio jack and usb port dont align correctly. Otherwise a great case

It looks very nice. I have leather pouch for my Omnia, but I'm not satisfied because you have to take it out of your pocket and than out of pouch, which I don't like much.

From the pictures it looks like it could be a little difficult to connect it to mUSB. Do you have to take it out if you're charging it or connecting to PC?

I dont.

The only time i have to is when im trying to connect it to FM transmitter cause the jack hole doesnt allign and doesnt allow sufficient space. Works grand with the headphones supplied by Samsung though.

Hey Heimiko

I've got the same case and am finding that the buttons are too hard to press. Thinking about cutting holes over the buttons too. Did you have much success with this? Are the buttons a lot easier to press now?

Thanks

I've got this case as well, and it's definetely one of the better quality cases.
Unfortunately the holes for the headphones and usb port aren't completely aligned with the actual ports, so I had to cut them out a bit.
It's a really slim fit and can be a bit hard to remove. The grips on the side make it feel quite nice in your hands.
