Discussion regarding the Proporta Alu-Crystal Case

[JasonWilliams]

Well, I've called them up and told them the two they sent me don't fit properly, they said they have an 8gb version there and will test one, and they'd let me know if it was ok or they had to go back to the designer.

As it turns out I had an email this morning saying they'd shipped the third one out!!! Oh well, maybe third time lucky! But I totally forgot when I went out and bought the Nokia CP-235 leather case, so in either event I have something to keep my phone in!

Will post the results of cover number three, but to be honest, I'm not holding out any hope.

Well, case #3 arrived today, fitted better, still a little stiff but it worked better than the first 2!

But .... around 10 seconds (if that!) after fitting it, one the catches on the front part snapped! I think after 3 tries, thats it now, they've had enough chances to prove their merchandise isn't up to scratch. I will be asking for a full refund including postage of the three I have here back, I don't see why I should have to pay to return their faulty items!

My suggestion on the Proporta N95 8gb Alu-Crystal Case - keep well clear, buy a 99p one, it will work better - and yes you can quote me on that!

[edit]

Just a brief update, I have had an email from Proporta today and they have refunded my money, I am a little disappointed that I can't use this case but hope that feedback will help improve the design and I will definately be keeping a close eye on any progress. I can't fault their customer service, that's definately second to none!

Well that counts for a lot these days mate that's for sure. Thanks for sharing the information with us, I was tempted but I'll be sticking with my Aluminium case from HK lol (when it gets here!).

When I emailed Proporta about the three I had been sent ... all of which are unusable -- I did comment on the fact that the front part scratches very easily - even though on their site is claims "Made from a material that combines the durable and scratch resistant polycarbonate plastic with an aircraft grade aluminium, you’ll struggle to find a more lightweight yet protective case" - scratch resitant, I think not.

I do not think their is any plastic that does not scratch.People should not believe everything you read or hear or see.IE nobody believes wot a politician says and thats the same when you buy anything.
