The Nokia N97 is one of the most highly anticipated handsets of the year, and 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 N97 cases<\/a> available, but which style is right for you and which one should you go for?After getting my hands on the N97<\/a> this morning, I’ve tried on our most popular cases to see how they measure up.<\/p>\n

Since originally writing this post, Nokia have released the Nokia N97 Mini. The N97 Mini is a smaller handset than the N97 so the cases listed here won’t fit the N97 Mini. \u00a0I’ve done a separate post that covers the Top Nokia N97 Mini Cases<\/a>.<\/div>\n

1.\u00a0Nokia CP-323 Carry Pouch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The first case I tried was probably my favourite of the bunch. It’s a simple fabric case that holds the phone securely. It’s a snug fit, and with a micro fibre lining, should keep the phone pretty free of finger prints. As it’s a pouch style case, you’ll need to take the phone out when you need to use it, but in terms of protection, this offers the most out of the ones I tried. This type of case is best suited to those who carry their phone around in their bag or pocket.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

2. Nokia CP-382 Carry Pouch<\/a>
\nA Mobile Fun favourite – the Nokia CP-382 carry pouch is a custom made horizontal pouch made exclusively for the Nokia N97. It has a textured hard-wearing finish, discretely embossed with a Nokia N-series logo. The main benefit I like about this case is that you can plug in your headphones whilst your N97 is snugly tucked away in the case, making it a little more functional that the Nokia CP-323 above. It also features a handy cut-out to allow you to attach the Nokia N97 stylus to the case, with out having to have it dangling from your N97.

<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong>3.\u00a0Nokia N97 Carry Pouch
\n<\/a>Similar in style to the CP-323, the Carry pouch is a Leather case that covers all of the phone, and has a fold over flap with a magnetic fastening to keep the phone in place. The rear of the case has a stitched belt loop, which means that the case can be attached to a belt\/bag strap for added security. As the case is designed to be worn on a belt, the case is slightly bigger than the CP-323 to make it easier for you to remove the phone.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

4. <\/strong>Nokia N97 ToughGuard Shield<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a>ToughGuard Shields are a similar kind of case to a Crystal Case, but they are much more robust. Rather than being made from clear plastic, they are made from a more flexible, energy absorbing polycarbonate. This means that the case is unlikely to break or shatter if you do drop your phone, but will still divert impact damage away from your N97. ToughGuard Shields don’t cover the screen, so we’d recommend using an\u00a0N97 screen protector<\/a> with it. These cases are a secure fit to your phone and are more suited to people who want to put a case on their phone and forget about it.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/strong>5.\u00a0Nokia N97 Crystal Case
\n<\/a>Crystal Cases are a great way to protect your phone if you don’t want the added bulk that you sometimes get by carrying your phone in a case. Crystal Cases are designed to cover the body of your phone, and absorb the impact when your phone is dropped. They don’t cover the screen, so to protect your screen, we’d recommend using them in conjunction with an N97 screen protector<\/a>. Whilst they do the job, they can be a little fragile, so for stronger protection I’d opt for a ToughGuard Shell.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
