Beware of the magnet closure
This case is a great fit and the belt fixing is a loop so no flying off your belt when you sit down as happens with some other cases. However, the magnet closure imparts a strong magnetic field within the mobile phone. The problem is that when you withdraw the phone from the case it passes through the magnetic field and your N97 may be in any number of states with any of the application opening screens looking at you. There is no screening within the case and this is a serious flaw. You can reduce the effect by placing the phone in the case battery side out but given that the N97 also has an inbuilt compass I do not know what the long term effects will be. I have cut out my magnets and replaced them with velco (hook & loop pads) this gives me a great case that has no adverse effect on the N97. If it wasn't for the magnets I would have given it 4 stars as I have seen better quality cases but for the price it is good.
Mobile Fun Says: Hi - Thanks for making us aware, we will feed this back to the manufacturer.
