I've used many cases both soft and hard for my Nokia E71 and this one is hands down the BEST. I love the fit, feel, and function of the Otter Box case. I ordered screen protectors but when I opened the package for this case, it had a screen protector included! I would stop wondering which one to get and buy this one.

this is a great hearty case. the skin is not sticky like some so you can put it in your pocket with ease. it should cushion a fall, but will not protect the screen so u still need a screen protector.

I love my e71, but after dropping it a few times I decided to get some extra protection. I didn't need armor plating, but wanted something better than a cheap silicone skin. The OtterBox Impact fits this niche perfectly. It fits very well, despite feeling a tiny bit loose along the side edges. All buttons, slots, ports, and speakers line up precisely where they should. The extra padding can easily be seen on the back and corners of the case but does not add any noticeable bulk to the phone; it still fits in my pocket the same as it did before. The case has a texture on the grip areas and a very smooth back. The included "screen protector" is a waste; I've never been a fan of these plastic sheets, anyway. Overall, this is a very good silicone case if that is what you are looking for.

OtterBox case for my Nokia E71 (also purchased on Amazon) arrived earlier than anticipated. The skin is completely functional and has survived a number of removals over a month (for charging in a Nokia base purchased on Amazon) without losing either firmness or shape. When using a the portable Nokia plug-in charger, the OtterBox allows enough space to plug and charge without removal, which many will find sufficient. Would have given the OtterBox 5 stars, except the included screen protector was rendered useless by a sticker that refused to completely come off. Fortunately I had other generic screen protectors, one of which I cut to size and applied. The OtterBox has proved to be an attractive and functional addition to the E71.

I purchased two of these covers for me and my daughter. I love mine, it has cushioned the occasional drop..my daughter keeps her phone in her pockets and it bothers her a bit because it sticks. But it holds up and has not ripped or worn out yet.

I have been using this product for about 2 months and has performed well. I have dropped my phone several times with the impact usually on one of the bottom corners. There has been no damage to the casing or the functioning of the phone.

The material is made of a sculpted rubberized material that helps with gripping the phone. All of openings align and no functions are lost or diminished. This case adds the needed protection while adding little bulk to the phone.

The case comes from the manufacturer with a very light coating of powder. This powder will disappear in a couple of days but the cover will be a little slippery until it does. There is only one spot where this cover feels lose and that is on the left side around the USB and SD card access ports. I think this is unavoidable. To be able to have access to these ports, the material between the ports and the screen has to be thin for about two inches.

Overall I like the case but my complaints are as follows:

1. On the left side of the case where there is an opening for the USB port and memory card is weak. A tougher type of material should have been used for this part of the case so it would hold better to the phone.

2. Changing the screen protector was not straightforward. The sticky label that was on the protector was apparently stuck with very strong adhesive. When I attempted to pull it off after I installed the screen protector perfectly, it raised the protector off the screen. This allowed a speck of dust to get trapped between the protector and the screen. I decided to live with it as did not want to take the chance to further mess it up.

When I finally got the sticker off, most of the adhesive remained on the screen and I had to get an alcohol based cleaner to take it off. It took me about 20 minutes to completely do this. This was really poorly designed.

Also the plastic applicator provided to remove air bubbles can actually leave scratches on the protector so you would want to go easy when you are using it or do not use it at all.

The Otterbox Impact Case for Nokia E71X is just what I needed to protect my new Nokia E71x phone. This particular case is solid black and comes with a screen protector also.

It's easy to slip on and feels sturdy. The black color will hide the dirt that is likely to gather on it. My phone is silver with white keys and it looks fine with the black case also.

Glad I bought it!

The cover is wonderful, and does a good job of covering up my phone.
The only minor problem I have with it is the fact that the skin is not as tight as I had wanted it to be.

Great case for a great price and I love that it comes with a screen protector as well!! The only thing that slightly bothers me about the case is that it can be a little bit of a "hair puller" at times. I have had other silicone cases that are true hair pullers everytime and this one is not that bad. Again, this it just pulls my hair occasionally and I have long hair. The case itself is very easy to use (put on) and protects the phone without being too bulky. It also makes the phone much easier to turn on and off surprisingly!
