   This is a nice looking but not a well designed producet. Its price doesn’t reflect its quality.
   
   The major problem that I have with this product is the upper case that holds screen and function keys: After I snapped on the upper case, I found a gap on both lower left and right side corners. The upper case doesn’t hold face plate firmly. Each time when I press on (or off) key, the gap just gets wider and the key would bounce with my finger.
   
   The seller’s return policy also seems more complicated than other products I ordered from Amazon.com (even though I never had to return any) According to the policy, the problem I encountered seems to be manufacturer’s responsibility. If I returned the product, there might be a shipping cost and restocking fee charge to me. Well…………

   This is the best cheap case I have seen for a cell phone. It puts a heavy, rigid, clear plastic cover over the 5610′s most vulnerable part, the large delicate LCD, protecting it from scratching and from chipping/cracking. My clear cover has a few tiny bubbles and imperfections (which is why I said “cheap case”) but I cannot see them when the LCD backlight is on.

   The Body Glove fits the 5610 “like a glove.” Except for the clear LCD cover, it is black hard plastic covered with textured vinyl for a little padding. It might crack if you drop it on concrete, but it would definitely give your phone some protection.

   The case comes with an optional belt clip which you can install. It’s a two-piece clip that pivots and it is usable. But if you usually carry your phone on your belt, check out the Krusell 89304 Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Dynamic® Leather Case. It has a larger, stronger belt clip with a quick release. If you carry your phone in your pocket or purse, get the Body Glove.

   Some reviewers had trouble installing or removing this case. Installation is easier than removal, but neither should be a problem if you scope the thing out first and think about what you’re doing. The tiny instruction sheet (the size of a postage stamp) is some help but not much.

   The case has two pieces, one for the slider and one for the phone body. Both pieces have cutouts for the 5610′s microphones, speakers and controls. If you look at the case and look at your phone, it is obvious where each piece goes and how it should be oriented.

   The slider cover snaps right on. Removal is not hard if you have fingernails. The cover is held on the phone by tiny plastic hooks, two at each (narrow) end and three or four on each (long) side. Use your nails to gently pull the edge of the cover away from the slider and unsnap the hooks one at a time. It’s easier than it sounds.

   The cover for the phone’s body is a little harder but not much. To install, slide the phone’s top end into the cover first, then push the bottom end down into the cover, and the whole thing snaps in place. To remove, slide the slider up to expose the keypad. At the base of the keypad, you will see a half-inch slot in the case. Insert the tip of a small flat-blade screwdriver and gently pry the cover away from the phone until the two tiny end hooks unsnap. Then go along the sides with the screwdriver or your nails, and unsnap the other hooks one at a time.

   I bought this case for my wife and she loves it. She is fairly hard on cell phones and this case has really protected our new Nokia 5610. My 10-year old son actually put it together for her (why is it that kids always seem to know how to do the technical stuff?). The case just snaps onto the phone and it is a really secure fit. The case is pretty cool because you have the option to install the locking swivel attachment or install a flat back. You can always change it out later (if you can unsnap the thing from the phone… did I mention “really secure fit”). This case was designed for the 5610, so there is no interference with any of the phone features. Our phone has been dropped a couple of times and this case just seems to hang on and do it’s job. When it is first installed, it will stick very slightly, but this is quickly overcome during the ‘break-in’ period. Great case and highly recommended. It looks cool too!

   I too bought this case new from tmobile for $30. Long story short phone got stolen and now my replacements in. I am definitly buying this one for $15/6!

   This case has also saved my phone before it was stolen, from damage when dropped! Has MicroSD Flash mini card the really really small one, and I just bought an 8 gig for $13 class 6 too slickdeals(dot)net! So for less then the cost of the body glove case from tmobile originally, you can get this case and an 8gig card for less then $30.

   I love this case, and I love this 5610 phone!
   
   btw I also paired my phone with the moto t505 for $50 on sale and WOW! Then you can have it all, great phone, best case on market, and blue tooth speaker phone that plays all your music from my 8 gig card on my speakers in the car……all wireless!

   Fantastic electronic buy, these three purchases made me proud I never bought an apple music player or phone so this is probably the best electronic I have bought sense LCD screens! Yea right on! Thank you amazon.

   My husband found this hard case protector for $30 at our local mall. Even with S&H we pucharsed it for $12 less. This phone dealer out of NY expedited our order in a speedy manner. We received this in 3 days from placing our order. It’s durable, nice feel, and still fits in his work pocket with ease (he prefers his phone in his pocket rather than with the included clip). Great for protecting our phones from our infant & toddler. Writing this review b/c we’re buying one for my phone today.
