Top 10 Nokia 5800 Cases

The Nokia 5800 Xpress Music was a the first touchscreen phone from Nokia.  It’s an extremely popular handset that is geared towards music, photo’s and messaging. If you’ve got one, you’re going to want to keep it protected from knocks and scrapes. There are a wide range of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic cases available, but which style is right for you and which one should you go for? I’ve put our top selling Nokia 5800 cases to the test to see which ones do the best job of protecting your phone.

1. Nokia 5800 Alu-Leather Case
Alu-Leather cases are made from high quality leather and aircraft grade aluminium to provide a tough case that looks great.  The case is specifically made for the Nokia 5800 and has cut outs on the back for the camera, so there is no need to remove your phone when you want to use it.  The fold down cover on the case has space for 2 bank cards, and has an inner layer of aluminium to protect your screen against impact and crush damage. This is by far our most popular case as it offers the best protection for your screen.

2. Nokia 5800 FlexiShield Skin
The back of your Nokia 5800 might start to scratch.  FlexiShield Skins for the Nokia 5800 are thicker and tougher than normal Silicone Cases and will certainly give your 5800 more bounce if you drop it!  It has a non slip feel to it and covers all of the back of the handset, leaving the camera free for you to take your photos.  It doesn’t cover the screen though, so you’ll need to invest in a Nokia 5800 screen protector if you want to prevent your screen from getting scratched.

3. Nokia 5800 InvisibleSHIELD
The InvisibleSHIELD is more than just a screen protector.  Not only does it cover the front screen of the Nokia 5800, it also includes the same tough protective film for the back of your phone. Installation takes a little bit longer than a normal screen protector, but the end result is well worth it.  It covers almost all of your phone and will withstand the toughest of scrapes.  The InvisibleSHIELD has a matte finish with a non slip feel to it. It is great at repelling fingerprints and reducing reflections and most importantly doesn’t affect the sensitivity of the touch screen. As the InvisibleShield doesn’t add any extra bulk to the 5800, you can use in in conjuction with most Nokia 5800 Cases and Skins.

The Krusell Classic case for the Nokia 5800 is another phone specific case. It protects all of your phone, with no chance of it falling out of the case thanks to its zip fastening.  The full plastic cover makes this case ideal for those working in dirty/dusty environments. The rear of the case has a fold down cover that protects the camera lens from dirt and scratches and a Multidapt clip that allows you to attach different mounting clips.  A belt clip is included as standard.

Silicone Cases are a cost effective way of looking after your phone.  While they don’t protect your phone against knocks as much as a FlexiShield will, they will prevent damage from light knocks and scrapes.

9. Nokia CP-301 Carry Case for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
This is a really unique case for the 5800.  It’s a leather case with a wrap around front – making a nice change from the standard flip down style cases.  It protects all sides of your phone and when closed it completely covers the screen too. There isn’t a way to attach it to your belt, but it comes with a lanyard that you can attach to your phone. The camera is not covered so there is no need to remove it from the case when you want to take photos.

10. Nokia 5800 Crystal Case
A Crystal Case is an extremely popular way of protecting your phone.  While they aren’t as strong or durable as the FlexiShield, they will still prevent your phone from getting scratched.  In the event that you do drop your 5800, crystal cases are designed to take the impact instead of your phone, it may mean you need a new crystal case, but you won’t need a new phone.  The Nokia 5800 Crystal Case covers all of your phone apart from the screen, camera and charging ports. To protect the screen we’d recommend using a Nokia 5800 Screen Protector.

  1. Hi,
    The biggest problem with cases that attach to belts is that the phone is not safe when sitting down.

    I had to stop using my case after I (luckily) found it on the seat after it worked its way off my belt due to the open ended clip.

    For me the list is incomplete without pictures or descriptions of the backs.
    Kind Regards,
    Paul.

  2. Hi Jacob,

    there is a plastic clip in the centre of the top of the case to hold the phone in place, you can just about make it out in the images.

    there is a plastic support on both of the bottom corners, so once it’s in there’s no way it can fall out.

  3. For item number 6; the book style case, is there anything to stop the phone sliding out at the top? This is the only thing preventing me from buying it because similar cases with the same name, made for other phones have this problem. Really appreciate a quick response, thanks.

  4. Nice list that, will share it with others. I do not use a case for my phone, only a screen protector because they can become annoying. I’ve used one for a month before and was ready to smash the case up!
