People have been requesting it, and I was lucky to get one early from Amazon.
Unfortuanetly, I have to return it so that I’ll have enough money for a SwitchEasy RebelTouch - But before I ship it back tomorrow, I opened it sneakily and took some photos and gave it a once-over.
Ignore my unmade bed - It’s midnight. And enjoy the pictures and minimal text towards the bottom.
(Remember, if you want to see the images in their original 5 megapixel quality, right-click the image and click “View Image”)
Here we go:
Right so - This is a very hard case. It’s a smooth material and feels very rigid.
You slide it onto your 2G and it fits better than a glove - Both pieces - The bottom doesn’t even slip off if you shake it vigorously. Beautiful.
The EasyDock is nice too - But most of your back is showing… Might be prone to scratches if you pushed it against a wall by accident?
Inside, I THINK there’s a screen protector too - But I’ve heard these are rubbish, so better buy your own.
Overall:
Looks: 9/10.
Feel: 9/10.
Protection: 10/10. (with screen too)
Functionality: 10/10. (EasyDock is brilliant)
Overall, I’m going to give it a 9.5 out of 10 - and hope that I’m not making a mistake sending it back…
Thanks for reading.
I have a similar case to this (the elan I think), also from griffon but it has a fake leather look (very fake
The disadvantage of the Elan and the Nu (IMHO) is that they are almost too sticky. I take the train into work and my old rubbery case sat nicely on my knee for watching movies. The Elan has the nice smooth feel but has no grip on my leg, making it slide down and making me need to hold it or prop it up on my arm while watching. I love the feel of it, but this is a downside for me.
