Protection: Tinted Crystal Cover For The N82

I invited my pal Ravindra to write a guest story about his new crystal case he uses to protect his new Nokia N82, and he gladly obliged. You can find more of his writings over at Symbian Stories. Check out his article below...


I'm a good care taker for my phones always,I still have my N95 8GB looking as it is just taken out of the box.On the 1st of January I thought of buying an N82 (Here are the reasons for my choice) and one problem I face since the day i got it in my hand is that the phone doesn't stay grabbed on to my hand, it always tend to slip down.It may be due the glossy surface but I never wanted it to slip from by hand. So I was thinking of a proper protection for my N82, and started to surf through the mobile accessory shops in my area, but couldn't find something that suits me.

But yesterday when I went to buy a crystal cover for my N95 8GB, I accidentally hit my eyes on a crystal cover for the N82, it was a tinted one so I wasn't very comfortable with it, because I thought that a tinted cover over the screen will ruin the display. But at last I bought it,as there wasn't a choice and after coming home I was in a hurry to try it on. Unbelievably this little piece of tinted plastic looks so great when it is on the device and the tint doesn't have any effect when the display is lit up. Also as you can see in the photos below, the tint completely changes the look of the N82, I was worried of having to buy a silver one but now my N82 looks more like a black one, and bit more special too. Also the crystal cover does have little pieces of plastics to covers the keys making them more easy for me to type, especially this is great if you have big finger tips. Most of all now it grabs well in my hand and not susceptible to unexpected loosing of grip anymore.


Now I'm totally satisfied with the protection precautions on my trusty N82 and I would love to know what kind of protection you use on yours?
