I bought this case for my phone the day the phone came on the market. Its very thin and scratches real easy but at least the phone stays looking nice. Only problem i had was the bottom of the front cover snapped which means i have to buy another but at £2.99 its not breaking the bank and if it lasts me another 3 or 4 months i wont worry too much.

I bought this case for my N96 almost a month ago now. I was a bit sceptical at first as lost of reviews on these type of cases said they break very easily. When you first open the case, it is noticably thin, but this is a great advantage as it doesnt add any extra weight or size to the phone. The case has been on since day one and there isnt a scratch on it. As long as you dont take the case on and off all the time its perfect to keep the N96 nice and shiny :)
very pleased indeed

When you get a new phone, let's face it, the last thing you want to do is scratch the thing. We know it'll happen eventually, but hope to keep it nice for a little while at least.
That's why I bought this little cover, and it works a treat.
It fits perfectly over the entire handset in about ten seconds, just be careful as it does actually feel a bit flimsy.
Once it's on it looks fine and is solid.
But......it scratches very very easily.
I put it in my pocket with some change and it was scratched within two minutes.
For four quid it's well worth having, even if you need another one every three or four months.
At least those scratches aren't on my beautiful new N96.
