Case warning!

[50atomic]

Got a handful of hard cases on eBay (not that many so it should not be too hard to fine) and they fit well. The included screen protector is a bit short and the hole for sensors on the top are a bit off, but at least covers the main screen and buttons. Cannot wait until they have replacement back covers!

Got this case on ebay and it fits fine, though the included screen protector is a bit short it still does the job.

A little big & did not fit my 521. Unless there is a trick to making it fit?

Not for me. It fit perfectly.

Not sure if anyone else has tried them, but I just got a case from Incipio. I was planning on holding out
until there were more options, but dropped it 3x in the first week so sucked it up and ordered.
The case only covers the back and the corners, and although it seems very well made and fits snugly,
I think it's a little pricey for what it is. They have good pics on their site if you want to see it...

anybody found a nice, hard plastic case in white that isn't slick?

this one looks good and says "rubberized"....sounds like it'd be a tackier surface.

IMHO, The best case I have found for this phone is the Tech21 with D3O technology that TMobile sells is the best, hands down. Yes, they are on the pricey side ($30), considering the phone is only $150. However, the case is solid and you can get a firm grip on it. Also, this is going protect your phone on accidental drops/falls way more than these $4 cheapo cases are going to do. An Tech21 case had saved my former iPhone on more than one occasion on what could have been a deadly drop. Just my humble opinion.

Waiting for a White case since my 521 is white. Looks kind of stupid to have a two tone combo in a phone and case together. Hopefully, T-Mobile will stock it or it will be available somewhere else.

T-Mobile carries this white and charcoal Body Glove Tactic case. It's close to what you would like. Just go to this link: Prepaid Nokia Lumia 521 | Lumia 521 w/ No Annual Contract | T-Mobile. Then click accessories and scroll down. Might be a good choice?

anyone have any experience with this product? i rarely drop my phones so that's less an issue for me than general scratching/nicking and stuff.

I installed the screen protector. I feels better and shows the finger prints less. I have no experience with the body cover.

If that black one is the tech21 case found at tmobile stores, I have it. Phone slipped out of my hand while laying on couch and it just bounced to safety. Sturdy one piece case with shock absorption.

I have this case and I loved it! Very protective, fits the phone perfectly and makes it look very stylish.

I ordered this case from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CRNV81S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 When I purchased the case it was $0.26 It's a great case. My 521 fits snug and it was inexpensive.

i installed this a couple weeks ago and it's been great so far. great fit, great feel. obviously it won't protect against drops but that wasn't my intent. i hate full-fledged cases because they add such bulk and change the shape of the phone. this is ideal for me....well worth the $15.

As far as cases go, I highly recommend the Tech21 case at T-Mobile. I tried one of the cheap ones from Amazon and it was a loose fit and too tacky. The Tech21 is a great case. Good grip without being too sticky. Fits really well but can be easily removed for getting to the back of the phone or for cleaning. I'm hoping I don't have to see how well it protects.

you had a problem with putting on just the screen protector? i found that incredibly simple, but i've done it before this time. the body was somewhat difficult for me, but i still got that aligned pretty well with no issues.
