I've gotten some questions about the case I'm using so I thought I'd do a quick write-up on it.
The Volt is a very nice phone but there isn't a big selection of accessories for it like cases, screen protectors (I'm looking at you, ZAGG), etc. So I was pretty excited to learn that Body Glove makes a case for this phone. I picked it up from Radio Shack for around $20. It's made from a flexible rubber material, is dark grey in color and has what they are calling a brushed nickle texture on the back. There's no hard plastic on the inside so hopefully that will reduce scratches.
It's fairly thin so it doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone and should provide some protection if dropped from a moderate height. The front edge is slightly raised so the screen doesn't touch the surface when you place it face down. There are openings for all the buttons and ports, and everything lines up well. I haven't noticed any shadows or glare from the opening around the camera lens and flash. I've attached some photos to give a better idea of how it fits the phone.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the case. I know there are cheaper options on eBay and Amazon, however, I like the fact it's from a known manufacturer. For me, it provides the best combination of value, form and function. Anyway, hopefully this will be of some help for others looking for a case.
Thanks.
