Hi Max and Maggflodd,
Well had a PDAir case with the N93 and really liked it so have just bought a PDAir case for the E61 and a Brando Screen protector As although the Krusell and Martin Fields are good fancied trying another PDAir and Brando for comparison and getting the Martin Fields off the backing is a real pain also bought a PDAir car mount as the case just attaches to the stalk anything for an easy life as the E61 is to wide for the one i currently have.
Once they arrives will borrow a friends N73 to get some pic's as now i have sold my N93 no camera D'oh!!

@Dogmann - I'd actually like to try the pdair, but I have never forgiven them for "screwing" me with one of their aluminum case which looked as if a blind person had fashioned it from an old fast-food tin-tray... Utterly, utterly useless! Never seen a worse product in any field of life! They ignored countless emails, they ignored that I sent it back to them etc etc etc... So I won't give in to the temptation of one of their other products... Though I know their leather cases are very nice, that's why I stupidly assumed their aluminum cases had to be good... WRONG!... Well, lesson learned

I still don't get it. First, you buy a very expensive phone, where qualified designers have spent many hours on designing the phone to make it look as good as possible. Then you put it inside an ugly silicon case or leather case so you can't see it, or in a crystal case so it becomes twice as thick and difficult to handle. The only one who possibly would be happy for that is the one you sell the phone to after a couple of years when you want to buy a new phone. I think it's perfectly Ok that the phone gets a few battle scars and scratches when being used, and if the scars become too deep, you can always buy a replacement cover.

@altemyr,
on a level, I actually agree! (although I don't like a scratched screen, I don't mind the odd battle-scar - I'm not big into selling anyways - either I keep my old phones or I give them away)
My personal thing though is: I tend to drop stuff occasionally, and the phone's looks are of less importance to me than its functioning properly!
Secondly, I was getting fed up leaving my phone in the car in my coat pocket etc etc.... So that's why I use a good, practical case (I would never buy a phone for it's looks - sure, looks can stir my curiosity, but ultimately I don't give a hoot what it looks like... that's me)

A crystal case doesn't make one's phone twice as thick, as most are only 1 mm in thickness. And, they don't make one's phone difficult to handle, provided that one buys a proper fitting one.
In terms of who will be happy with the phone, I'm happy with mine now, and whoever buys it from me, if and when I do sell it, will be happy with it then.
In terms of replacing the case once it's scarred, I'd rather do it later than sooner.

I couldn't care less what my phone looks like to be honest. Yes I like my black bodied K750, and yes I think it looks hot. I also like a phone with the odd (or even extensive) battle scar. That also looks cool.
There is only one reason I case my phone and that's because I prefer to carry it on my belt. It's easier when using it as walkman (for changing tracks/volume and so the headset doesn't get pushed off) and I can see the time on the screen without taking it out of my pocket, and I also find when the phone is in my pocket I'm more likely to crush it between my leg and hard things I lean against.
It's purely practical considerations that lead me to wear my phone on my belt in a case. The fact it's still in good nick is just a side effect, and I've never sold any of my phone's yet so it's certainly not about resale value for me. My T610, V525, K700 all still in perfect working order and perfect external condition. I'm not skiting about it, it's just that's the way it turns out because of the way I prefer to carry my phone.

Not as yet, though once my contract is up I will be getting a K800 or hopefully the K810 will be available here by then (june or so). I'm actually happy with the K750, the only thing that really appeals about the K800 is the higher res screen, though the multi-tasking java platform also could be useful.

It certainly feels that way though, esp when you've been used to your phone feeling a certain way
