The Dell Streak has been out for a few months now and is proving to be quite popular. While it’s never going to take off like the iPhone, it’s still attracting quite a following. It’s large 5 inch capacitive touch screen makes it perfect for email and browsing the internet, while the 16GB of internal storage make it a great choice as a portable media player.
As a result of having such a large screen, finding a case that fits the phone is a little tricky – very few manufacturers cater for a handset this size, so for that reason we’d recommend sticking to one of the original Dell Streak Cases.
There are currently just two to choose from, a stylish leather case and a more durable hard plastic case.
Dell Streak Wallet Case – Black
This case looks great, of the two available, this is definitely the more stylish of the two. It’s a fairly simply book style case that’s made from a high grade leather with a soft, suede-like lining with a hinged, black plastic holder to keep your Streak in place. On the underside of the holder is a fold out kickstand that supports the phone at an angle that is great for watching videos. The Dell Streak has expandable memory, so to help you keep track of where your memory cards are, there are two small pockets stitched into the lining of the case.

The only thing that’s a little quirky with this case is how it stays shut. Unlike most other cases that use a magnet or press stud, this uses an elasticated loop to keep it all in place. I found this to be a bit fiddly to keep removing and adds to the amount of time it takes to get to the phone when it’s ringing. You’ll get used to it, but it’s not the best way that Dell could have secured the case.
Dell Streak Form Fit Case – Smoke
It’s not too clear from the photo’s how this fits on to your phone, but it’s actually a clip on cover that protects the back and sides of your Dell Streak. It’s got all the necessary cut outs for the camera, speakers and volume keys and memory card ports. You can still dock your Streak with the case fitted, as the bottom inch is hinged and folds back out of the way, allowing you to charge it or place it on the dock without too much hassle.

The form fit case doesn’t cover the screen, so Dell have included a high quality screen protector to keep your screen looking at its best.
