If you want to carry your Nokia N97 around in a case, there seem to a variety of options on offer but one of the more ‘high-end’ solutions we’ve come across is the Noreve Tradition Leather Case, which mixes a detailed finish with a tough and protective coating. See how it gets on in our Noreve Tradition Leather Case review….

Noreve is a company based down in Saint Tropez, so you expect something a little stylish and this case is no exception. It takes the standard flip-over design to protect the screen and adds a solid metal body with leather coating to hold and protect the Nokia N97.

The body is a perfect fit, with the Nokia N97 sitting snuggly inside. What’s more, the body of the case is cut away so you can get at the function buttons with ease and there is even enough space for you to still open the N97’s QWERTY keyboard. That said, we found the two corner supports of the case did get in the way a little as we typed.

The design of this case is fairly standard but the finish and build quality is top quality and adds very little to the overall bulk of the device. What we liked about this case it that suddenly you don’t mind carrying your Nokia N97 in hand luggage rather than making sure it’s in your pocket.

It’s not just the case that feels great, as the case comes with a clip for attaching the device to your belt. To be honest, this gun-slinger approach is something of an acquired taste but the clip is one of the strongest we’ve seen and the finish is solid and reliable.

Our review unit, as you can see below, came in a rather dull and boring brown but you can choose from an array of 20 different colours and finishes from the website, with some pretty interesting results.
