The cover cushioned the phone so that anything it hit would have a chance to survive. It’s for the protection of everything else

To this day bunker buster bombs consist of cardboard poster tubes filled Nokia phones.
It had a belt clip, that was the only reason to get one of these. I had one.
And the cover was mostly to keep the phone form getting dirty when not in use, not to protect it when dropped.
And rain, I don't think these had IP ratings
I have too much self respect to clip anything to my belt /s
You were the king/queen with a Nokia on your belt.
It’s really too bad how much their smartphones suck compared to the old phone days.
Them and Kodak
They really burned me with their Nokia 9 Pureview. That camera set up was shit and less than 1 year of support?! And I really liked the Nokia 7, with that copper tone around the edges? That was sexy. But after the 9? Never again Nokia.
Yeah, the cover protects anything that the phone falls on.
It's not for you; it's to make HER feel sexy. You wouldn't understand smh.
(/s, if it's needed)
It might be indestructible, but it's not impervious to dirt. Which isn't even an issue for the phone itself, it's just gross.
They made it for that little plastic clip on the back to put it on your belt, not to protect the phone. So it's still useless.
My parents had one. They aren't the smartest bunch
