Thanks Piesang,

Been waiting for this one to come out (after reading about all the other cases that just don't work well). Guess what is on my weekly shopping list :)

Pleasure. Don't know which one you will like but I went for the White one. The black doesn't look good at all.

I saw a few this weekend. Looks like Vodacom Cellucity are the only shops that have stock. Well, that's the only shops where I saw it.

Maybe you lucky to find it somewhere else.

How's the fit of the case, and does it affect the opening and closing of the phone?

I tried a whitish case on Sunday - I certainly liked the idea but I wasn't keen on the color. They didn't have blank... but why didn't they make one in clear silicone?! Duh!

You can say that again. Clear would've been nice. Only thing I dont like is the fact that the charger wont fit when the silicone case is on the phone. I have to make the hole a bit bigger. Hope it works.:rolleyes:

Find the same here, did not modify the hole but if squeezed in solid and phone lies still it is OK. Maybe have to make hole bigger too but concerned on warranty. What a flimsy n95 charger cable :mad:

I had the black/tan one top section come loose a few times on the top right corner. Monitoring the issue as there is a one year warranty on it at least.

Why? And Yesi I did! but lighting was a issue and I did not want to waste to much time so had to put flash off,too bright at close proximity, and use surrounding tube light in front of PC. LOL the N95 is much better, that was just a 2+ minute stint. My normal digital or video recorder cannot even do that in that light conditions.

The N95 can take much better pics than that. :p:D

Doh, ignore my comment about these cases in your other post Piesang :p
In case anyone else is interested, any changes to the case can easily be made with a stanly knife. I cut out the irritating key cover (tried smoothing it with a soldering iron, but being silicone it didn't even scald from the heat :p):

I must say. I like your idea. Think I'm going to try it also.

I just got really irritated with the menu or quick menu being activated when I pressed the directional buttons.

If you do try it, you will see that the part covering the buttons is soft, but there is a tougher plastic border surrounding that. You will have to cut as far as the plastic border otherwise you'll have trouble pressing the softkeys. I suggest cutting from the back of the cover (ie the part that makes contact with the phone, not the part you touch) and then trimming as necessary from the front.
