Posted here, too: Crystal Sandwich Case Yikes Posted in the wrong place because I'm new to the boards:
Like many Treonauts, I prefer the look of a naked 680 because it is such a beautifully designed thing. So I bought one of those crystal sandwich cases reviewed not long ago. The one that also comes in a black rubberized version. Once on, the case was beautiful. The case was beautiful because the phone is beautiful.
But as Andrew said, it is a nightmare to get on. His directions about snapping order (top right, bottom right, top left, bottom left) were essential. Still, I lost two nails down to the quick in the process.
The fingernails didn't hurt nearly as much as the first two, and the only two, scratches I've ever had on any phone.
First tumble (from inside a handbag pocket near to the ground. Not a big deal.) and the crystal case launched like a rocket in two directions and my 680 took a header.
Unless there is a seriously trustworthy naked case, I'm sticking with my protective Vaja.
I'm gonna be checking that invoice to see if I can return it. That's a serious design flaw that could cost you a Treo. |
