Nice case for Nokia 5800,
For the 5800, I found this case to be perfect (it will not fit the Nokia phone holder for the car). I had a cheaper generic one before and did not like it because although the outside was rubber-like the inside was hard plastic, so every time I took off the cover to clean or remove battery, over time, the case would start to mark the phone. However, this case is rubber-like inside and out, easy to take on and off, without being too loose, and it has just enough of a raised lip on the front edges to protect the screen in case of droppage (of course, a true test would be drop it on a hard surface several times to see how it really performs, but…). I get the impression the case is carefully and thoughtfully constructed.
The cons are as other reviewers have noted, it will attract lint, grabs your pocket liner, and add some bulk to your phone, but that is to be expected, the cost of impact-absorbing rubber material. Also, the screen protector that comes with the case will cover the front sensor on the 5800 that is next to the front camera. This is a problem for example with the alarm function, which relies on this front sensor and will disable the touch controls for “snooze” and “stop”. I recommend either cutting the screen protector before putting it on, or using other screen protectors that do not cover the sensor, like the one sold on Amazon from Accessory Export Packaging. I’ve had this for less than a month so I’m not sure how this will hold up over time.

|Good Skin,
OtterBox has a very good reputation for cases. This OtterBox skin does the job. Doesn’t add a lot of bulk but provides protection. It comes with a screen protector but the Nokia manual for the phone specifically states you SHOULD NOT put a protector on the top portion of the screen where the earpiece, light sensor and I believe front facing camera are located. You can always trim it. Worth the money. Only complaint is this skin is a lint MAGNET. It’s annoying for me but might be a deal breaker for some.

|excelent impact case,
Just what i needed, except for one issue… the screen protector covers the light sensor of the cell phone and i have to cut it a bit to fit perfectly.
