And what brand, and how much was it? I' can't seem to find a good case for mine. I' kind'a like the Krusell case, but I' had never seen one in person. Does any body here have a Krusell case for theire NGage

??? The only thing is I' hate that cheap plastic face most cases have. Does the Krusell case fell/look better ? inquiring minds want to know

Really? I'm not careless, but I always wear my cellphone in a beltcase for easy access and to keep it out of my pockets where it could get scratched. And the QD is bigger than all my current phones. Surely you don't expect me to put it in my pocket?

(no room for it regardless)
I'm on the lookout for a beltcase myself...
I'll post here if I find something suitable.

I haven't used the Krusell case for N-Gage, but I have owned a couple Krusell cases in the past (for a T68i and a PDA). They're actually really well made; the case is perfectly fitting, good quality leather, strong stitching. The plastic fronts are ok; if you talk on the phone long enough with it pressed up to your face you'll sweat and it'll feel slick/gross, but that's plastic for ya. It is a nicer plastic than I find on cheapo phone cases.

That being said, I think my QD is big enough as it is; I don't like how leather cases make phones look and feel even bigger. Right now mine is just naked and sits in a pocket on it's own (maybe with the headphones). If all you want is to attach it to your belt, Nokia sells a "half-case" sort of holster (for the QD, not sure about the original) that latches onto the back and provides a belt clip. I can't remember which store it was online, but one of those UK stores used to carry a bunch of classic cases in many different styles.

flipflash,
I'm guessing you're talking about these holsters

My concern is that like most similarly styled phone holsters, it provides no protection for the phone, and bumping the unit can often dislodge the device from the holster...

So, yeah... I'm shooting for a beltcase cause I'm a paranoid nutcase

Yeah, that's the QD holster I was mentioning, but there were a lot of other full cases for the classic N-Gage available at some of the UK/European online shops. Really isn't a whole lot here in North America apart from those two Nokia cases (the holster and the full-leather case, which I don't like because I can't see who's calling).

Well, I guess there's eBay... bleh.

Sounds like a good idea. -If it weren't so cold right now, I'd still be wearing my Scott-E-vest Spring jacket (30 pockets are a handy thing to have)

Do you use a BT headset so that you don't have to remove the phone from your jacket to talk?
