Before beginning this review, we must clarify that the definition for the small, medium and large phones has changed since the launch of the Galaxy Note. Those that were considered large are now medium.

We received an Overboard Waterproof case, courtesy of MobileFun iPad Accessories. Let us begin.

The case comes nicely packed and looks nice and shiny in the first go. Though Overboard has mentioned the case to be for small phones, We deem a device like the N8 not to fit the category. Rather, we term it as a medium sized device.

Upon opening, the contents of the package include the case, a hook, a lanyard. And No, the phone does not come inside the package Smile with tongue out

The case is made up of waterproof material that feels soft yet strong. We had to open these locks to get a look inside the case.

The phone can be slid through once the locks are open. These locks act a sealing barrier once the phone is inside.

Once securely locked, nothing can enter or exit the case save light Smile with tongue out

The case did not prove to be any hindrance while operating the phone. The phone responded as snappily as it did outside the case.

Overboard have made sure that the phone’s camera is not missed out. While the front has a larger transparent are to operate the phone to it’s fullest, the rear of the case makes sure that the camera is not covered.

You can use the hook and and the lanyard to secure the phone while you are on the move.

In my opinion, the case is one of the best in it’s class. It can keep you phone safe from water damage. We definitely recommend this case if you device is small to medium in size. But if you have a Galaxy Note, then this case is not a choice as the Note would not fit in.

The case comes neatly packed along with a clip fits perfectly onto any belt.

The build quality of the case is fantastic. We actually received this case from Mobilefun.co.uk couple of months back (I have an uncanny habit of preserving the packaging Winking smile). I initially had an impression that after a month or so, the shine and might of the case would fade away. But I was wrong, the case came out to be clean and never ever required polishing. The leather quality is extremely good, and the stitch quality is equally commendable.DSC06095 thumb Review   The PDair case for N8, lives upto expectations

You can see that the leather has become softer and the white stitching line has not lost it’s color.

The device fits perfectly into the case and the cut outs for various hubs and buttons are at the perfect position.

The case protects the camera. The camera can be used by slightly bending the case, which in turn doesn’t harm the case in any sense

Even after so many days, the case never lost an ounce of its might.

In short, there is no case that is better than the PDair. The price of mere £12.95 makes it a steal. We give it five stars out of five.

() = Last month’s position.

Samsung Galaxy S II is the sales champ for Krusell this July.

Two months ago I predicted that we would see this Samsung model as the number one selling case, says Ulf Sandberg CEO at Krusell. I was a bit too hot on the trigger, since I was wrong two times before it became reality. I expect us to see the same results, with minor changes, for the list of August but I can be wrong again of course he ends.

For the new readers – The list is based on the number of pieces of custom made mobile-, smartphone cases ordered from Krusell during July 2011. Krusell’s list is unique due to the fact that it reflects the sales of phones on six continents and in more than 70 countries around the globe.
