Even though the 6700 is a little brick, it can comfortably be held to the face when talking without making its owner look like a complete tool. For that reason alone, I think that many 6700 owners have held off on buying a case because there are so few that allow easy access to the device when making or receiving calls. Not everyone wants a flip-lid that they will have to wrestle when they need access to their screen; not everyone is willing to put up with a sheet of plastic covering their screen, as was the case with the one play-through model I reviewed which didn't have a flip lid."</i><br /><br /><img src=http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/westfall-20060518-ebdetach.jpg><br /><br />Another 6700 case, however this one with a nice feature - a detachable top! Not a bad idea for those of us who need cases that pull double duty (i.e. max usability one day / max appearence the next). Now I just wish EB would bring back their wallet line of cases, and I'd be lining up to buy EB again!

I have the PDAir Black Case and the Enovo and this case, the Enovo, is by far the best case for me. I used a friends Seidio Clip and did not like it. Contemplated a Piel Frama case but decided to go with this one. I hardly ever use the slide out keyboard so thats not a big issue for me.

It protects the phone, holds the battery cover in place, great screen access and gives the otion to go top-less. Excellent craftsmanship and detail for all the cut outs. For me a 10 out of 10!

I also have the HTC Appache (Verizon XV6700), but I also have the extended battery installed. For those that don't have it, it bulges significantly from the back of the phone. Outside of the OEM case, is there a fancier case that I can use?
