Straight out from the French Riviera, Noreve offers a series of high quality leather cases for almost all current mid-high Sony Ericssons, for those who don’t mind losing some portability in favor of protecting the precious device inside while adding a touch of style and personalization with the many leather colors available. I say losing portability because after trying these with my P990, it just won’t fit any comfortably in trousers any tighter than 50 Cent’s. It shouldn’t be a big problem for smaller models’ users though —the P990 itself isn’t very pocket-friendly anyway—, but it’s fair to say that these cases add considerable bulk to your phone, not to mention if you even attach the huge belt clip. This belt clip led McCoy, reviewer of the black M600/W950 and red P990 cases, to find a funny problem with the back screw, which you can check in the video (in all Superhandz style) after the jump, along with photos of those and my black and white P990 cases.

As you’ll see in the photos below, the quality of the leather and manufacturing is pretty high, I especially like the seams, and I’d actually like to see the thread in different colors. Black leather and orange thread could be a nice Walkman combination. Blue leather and white thread would be perfect for a white M600.

They also include a small slot for carrying a spare Memory Stick Duo, or two for a couple of Memory Stick Micros for the phones that use these, a handy detail for some. I actually like scratches on my phones, they give them some charm and attachement, but if you really need to protect your toy with a good looking quality product you shouldn’t mind paying the average price of 35€ for one of these.
