Postie brought me a fake white leather flip case for my new phone. It is the case that the
eBay store had sent me a message about telling me that it was out of stock, several days after I had ordered it.
I have been away and I had been waiting until I got back to claim a refund.
The new phone is a replacement for the old one which I broke by dropping it. The back and sides of its case are made of beautiful polished metal but it is horribly slippery so it was only a matter of time before I dropped this phone too. I was desperate to get a protective case for it and bought a similar one from a market stall in Coventry while I was away!
So, I now have 2 cases for the one phone. I'll keep the spare one in case I ever damage the one that I am using. It is annoying though, especially since the £4 one from eBay is nicer than the £7 one bought from the market stall.
Both cases are a vertical flip type. The old phone's case opened horizontally, book-style. I found the top of that case got in the way when I was making calls or taking photos. The vertical flip-style is much better - the top hangs down when making calls (acting as a wind-break for the microphone when making calls outdoors in windy conditions) and it gives me a better grip on the phone when taking photos.
