from dadarouch, price is as advertised on his thread

its grey

sorry didnt took back and sides, initially just wanted general closeup of 5800 for prospective buyers

generally, the capdase softjacket is designed well. however u may notice that at the jacket just to the sides of the screen it is loose. Eventhough loose, it doesnt peel back spontaneously, only when u manipulate it. It protects from scratches very well, but for hard blunt trauma, the surface wont abrase but certainly something will crack underneath.

Meanwhile theres this new form of case HERE and HERE.

It protects the back of the 5800 ala those cases for iphone.

i prefer thin and soft, but if theres a case thats thin and can protect from shock(drops) even better

something like those PDAir aluminium cases

but IMO currently, the best protection for drops is the oil finished cases that was and is currently bulked here. it consists of 2 parts that protect front and back of the phone. These 2 parts are secured by multiple clips.

In the event of drops, the case will deform temporarily causing the separation at the clips. This absorbs the impact, saving teh phone. This is just how our old school Nokias (3310, 1100) when dropped the battery and case cover will fly out and away. I cant imagine how an iphone handles this, though.

For the newer back-only protectors, im afraid it wont protect much in absorbing the force cause theres no collapsible part.
