Custom made cases here folks:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Orange-San-Francisco-ZTE-Blade-V880-Jelly-Case-Grey-/270694420625?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3f06a51091

Comes with full-glass protector..maybe a tad dear, though?

Recieved this case today and its a superb fit and much better than other cases so far. Its deffinately a high quality silicon and is thick enough to protect without making the phone bulky. The only problem so far is the USB hole is not quite big enough so getting the cahrger in is a bit tricky other than that its perfect albeit a bit expensive...

Will post some pics in a bit..

Looks alright

Shame about the power button...be nice if they added a molded button on top, if that makes sense.

So the USB is just a tad tight or is it cause the case sticks out?

Power button works fine through the case. The case causes the outer case of the USB to be unable to be pushed all the way in, It still charges fine but would be better if it was a little bigger so the USB plug fitted snug.

Yeah i'm sure it works fine, it would just look nicer

Just me I guess...not that i use my power button

Hm okay...I may take a file to it when i get one then

How is the screen protector? Still responsive?

I did not use the screen protector that came with the case. It does have a cutout for the light sensors though and is designed to fit the SA as it covers more of the screen than the one I have fitted.. My fitted screen protector £1.50 of ebay works perfect and is responsive so not going to replace until needed...

Lol I can vouch for the case working just dropped the phone and booted it accross the kitchen. Not a mark on it which is a relief as it made quite bang bouncing off the cooker.... :eek:

My rubber case is making certain areas of the phone go shiny, almost as if it's rubbing, but its a tight fit so it can't be.

englishpremier · 20 Jan 2011 at 11:23

I have a problem with images.

When I receive picture messages, the only way to view the image is to open the message and touch the image. The phone then shows me a full screen image which of course is all blurry and distored since the actual image is smaller than that.

How do i get it to show me the image at 1:1?

Its frustrating that i have these pictures from my girlfriend that i can't see properly.

The plastic finish of the SA is pretty rubbish tbh. The back of mine is all scuffed from being in a flip case.

I really like to take good care of my things but I think it's a losing battle with this phone.

As long as it remains functional and the screen scratch free, I think I'm happy though.

Forgot that I bought a little sticker to cover the Orange logo ages ago, just put it on. Thought I'd include randal24's green one he posted earlier as well.

Got a green one as well, I'm torn between them! Too many life changing decisions
