Unlike the silicon rubber cover, this one has a completely transparent front which makes texting much easier (the silicon one covers the keys and only gives you a basic idea of where they are, and also stops the light shining through).
The cover seems a bit tight in some places, loose in others, it is not a perfect fit to the phones button layout and a loose bit partially covers the camera flash.

The camera cover is easy enough to open, but you have to twist the belt clip out of the way to use the slot provided in the cover to close it again.

The belt clip is a good idea, but should have been mentioned in the product write up, it would also be better if they made it removable. As mentioned above, its lucky it rotates otherwise you would need to take the cover off to close the camea cover.

In summery, if your expecting to drop your phone regularly or bashing it on a building site, buy a silicon rubber cover and screen protector as they provide more cushioning and protect the corners.
If you want a nicer looking cover, that shows off the phone on your belt, then buy this one.

Although the corners of the K800 are not covered by the case, I have not found this to be unbearable and my phone has been protected by all of its falls up until now. The transparent front does gather dirt quickly and the shutter becomes a little hassle to open but, with a regular wipe and a bit of persistance, this should not put you off from buying this product.

this phone case does not protect the phone corners my phone was in this case it fell out of my pocket bounced off the pavement and at least one of the corners was damaged i had to buy an offical k800i housing to replace it dont buy its useless shame on you bodyglove more thought in your design next time

like all dirt does build up behind screen.this is a bit of a pain.the glove does fit phone well apart from the sliding lense on back of phone wouldent say its the easyest to slide when coven in on.but apart from that this is good for the money and looks good fits well.it does its job so cant relly moan for the price.

Having read the other reviews yes the case the back of the phone case doesn't match and a bit does flap about, however I can certainly live with it.

The belt clip does come off without damaging the case - twist the clip until it clicks then it should just pull outit would be at a 45 degree angle to the phone. just don't be too harsh, this takes at least 6mm off the case.

The case will protect the screen and the phone. For the price its a good buy.

This thing looks horrible and ruins the looks of the phone. None of the holes line up and the phone doesnt even fit inside properly. The hole where the direction stick is, is too small making it hard to use it properly. There is a clip on the back near where the slider is meaning if you want to take a decent picture you will have to keep taking it out of the case and because it doesnt close properly there is a bit of the case that just flaps around.

Only buy this if you really need it and only then make sure that there arent any alternatives.

Great review AikonEnt.

This item is great if you're a clumsey person who drops your K800i or it gets knocked around a bit.

The product is well made and will last you way longer than one of those see through crystal cases (avoid those they're a waste of money) had one for my W850i and it went straight into the Recycle Bin.

The phone sits nice and tightly inside but as AikonEnt said some holes in the cover don't exactly line up.

Where the back of the phone is and the lense cover is, is a bit fiddly you can open the cover but shutting it again you have to mess around and stick your finger inside to push it back I find with mine. It's only a major gripe though.

Another thing with mine is that the top of the screen (where your battery indicator is) mine doesn't seem to be lined up proper there also, not sure if that's just mine though but I've not seen it being mentioned on these reviews. Again small issue and doesn't really bother me.

When you are texting as well you can accidentely hit the wrong keys because the keys are so close together on the K800i, it would of been nice if they could of put grooves on the casing where the number keys are. Or maybe I just have fat fingers, but I don't :( I had no problem texting when the case was off. This is a major gripe for me, and again I'm not sure how other people feel about this - it's not been mentioned so I guess I must be the only one.

As for the clip thing, when I first got mine I hated that belt clip it made the phone bigger. BUT I managed to actually get it off. I just twisted the clip and pulled it gentally out, I'm not sure if I can put it back on the case but to be honest with you it won't be going back on. So if you do find the clip annoying just do what I said and you should be able to get it out. If you get it off just don't throw it away incase you need it (if it can even go back on that is...)

I gave it 4/5 not because of my gripes but I look at them more as an improvment to the case. But if you're looking to keep your K800i in good condition then this is definitely a must buy item.

This is a great accessory for the k800i and it is such a tight fit that it is unbelievably difficult to get off quick. It's very strong an durable. I am a freelance film maker and i am constantly on the phone and going places and its withstood allot of battering and i have only had it a week now. its great.
A must have for any K800i owner.

After purchasing the crystal case for my K800i and it cracking and becomming useless within about 3 weeks I decided to go for this. First impressions are that it is very well made and the K800i does fit very tightly inside which means it doesn't make the phone look and feel a lot bigger than it is, which is good. The front of the phone is completely covered except for a hole for the little joystick thing so it protects the screen from scratches and prevents dirts from getting on the keys, and as the cover is quite thin and flexible there isn't any issue with using the keys through the plastic.

As far as I'm concerned there are 3 things wrong with this product but as none are major they don't make it a 'no don't buy it' product.

Firstly the holes for the button and bits don't seem to line up perfectly (especially the lens cover), though everything is still accessible so like I said, it's not a major issue.

Secondly, as the case clips together in one top corner at the back the other side isn't anchored and therefore comes away from the phone. As there are holes cut into this part it makes it look fairly weak and if caught on something it could tear the casing quite easily.

And finally the belt clip. It's good that you can adjust the angle of the clip (it rotates 90 degrees to both left and right), but it would have been nice if I could disconnect the clip from the casing if I wanted to as most of the time I don't want my phone hanging off my belt, I just want the case to protect the phone from being scratched and getting dirty.

As I said none of these things are major and don't detract from it being a good product, just my personal grievances!

This is a good product, it protects the phone well. If your looking for a leather cover this is brilliant but as any cover would it ruiens the look of the phone.
There is a clear plastic clear cover avalible which protects and does not change the look of the phone.
