Your Review of the product....
I would give the case a 4 or 5 star rating if it weren't for the type of plastic used to cover the screen. It really takes away from the quality of the screen on the 5600, which is one of the reasons many of us bought the phone I'm sure. It almost makes the screen look like the 4500, kinda grainy. :irked:
I'm tempted to cut the plastic away from the screen but keep the leather on the outside for protection... Has anyone tried this? I cut the plastic away from the keypad area on my old case for my 4500, but I'm not sure I want to risk damaging the screen on a 450 dollar phone. Also, you have to undo one of the straps on the top when you want to remove the miniSD card.

I also forgot to mention that the case lowers the sound quality of the speaker. It makes it sound pretty muffled. While it still sounds pretty good with the case on, you'll realize how good it actually sounds when you take it off.

After having the phone with the case for about 3 weeks I've decided to go without it. Everything is just SO much better without it on. Sound quality, looks of the screen, and keypad feel. I'm just going to try my hardest not to drop it.
