That will be no problem at all . Mine is white 808 & using the Black cover for ovr 5 mths +. I have both colors (1st batch without speaker hole on lense cap). Hopefully newer batch cover wont have that issue for the red cover...

u mean the coloring from the red case actually rubs off?

i had a black case, i dont use a case anymore.
the phone survives well without it.

How about the lens? Actually I just scare the lens and also the surrounding lens mount will be scratched lol.

the lens has gorilla glass cover...
the lens mount...its metal...sure get scratched if ur not careful...
so use some logic la...dont put phone with keys etc.

making a movie by your phone, use for audio quality

Yes. Somehow it will rubs the red over the housing (not very obvious, unless to those who wrap the whole phone with protective film on White 808 unit). But the red's on the 808 can easily rub of using rubber

Its ok about not using the cover. That depends on personal preference's and lifestyle. I do have my reasons on using d cover:)

Agreed on the lens statement. The paint job around the whole camera hump is not chipping/scratch resistant. Do take note

Tat bad ? , my main reason is the lens cap cover, I can live with the red color if its not too severe

the lens cap cover for the nokia case is kinda sucky cos it comes off very easily.
plus the one with no speaker hole, the ring tone gets muffled so sometimes u may not hear it properly.
while the one with speaker hole i dunno if its original nokia or not cos i dont think nokia site got show.

Mine is not that severe, i seen worst scenario on the net (especially on film wrapped phones). I hope ur case will not fall the same category as mine

Mine's doesn't comes off easily for both colour. Although i must say, you nid firmly secure all gaps on the lens cap to ensure it is closed, otherwise it is like what you have mentioned earlier.

You can find the updated (speaker hole) version on LYN garage, but RM120 its too pricey (I think is ORI, but you cn chk with those who bought the updated version). Finally, you wont expect much accs for Symbian in Nokia website, they all moved to Lumia (WP) edi, even if some the accs are suitable for Symbian phones

u try opening it from the side and see.
mine flips open so easily, quite a few others elsewhere also complain the same thing.

Anyone using Slide to Unlock?

nice color nice bokeh..

I always open the lens cap from the tab side only all the time. Still working fine. I use the Black cover since day 1 i have my 808.

The main problem with this cover is the speaker being closed. Many a time the user cannot hear the phone ringing.

Now I heard the new cover will have speaker holes, a good upgrade indeed.

ya, tab side of cos its harder abit to open.
but that doesnt mean it cant open easily from the other sides, like me and others complain before
sometimes in pocket also, take out phone and see camera cover already flip open...
thats why after that i bought amzer case instead.

imo kinda pointless app.
u can just use the slide key on the side to unlock instantly.
or if latest firmware, can press like home button and slide to unlock.

Super sharp and nice contrast as always from aspire sifu. Still dunno how you get so close and such sharp photos.
Salute!

hmm not so sure about yours and others, but mine reli seldom comes off by itself, mayb not abuse enuf yet.. haha..

About the red smear, i bought this "spider" holder few days ago, and this is only 1 time overnight i left it with the red cover... so be careful when placing this red cover to any object which is white (or light colors).

PS: the stain wont go off unlike in 808 housing.. mayb of the "spider" material is rubber...
