The Nokia N97 is a robust and well designed smartphone and we've had great fun getting to grips with it. However, we've been asked on a few occasions what's the best way to protect the 3.5-inch screen but still have access to the full QWERTY keyboard. With this in mind, we felt it was time to look at the best Nokia N97 carry cases around .

The Nokia N97 has been designed to be a self contained device but if you're anything like us, then having a carry case is one of those things you'll always want to have to hand. With this in mind, we've taken a look at the latest Nokia N97 carry cases on offer.

Aluminium Lined Leather Case (Nokia N97)

Whenever a new smartphone comes out, it pays to check out Proporta as they seem to be on the ball with getting a solid and reliable case for your Nokia out as soon as possible. At £26.95 (inc. VAT) this isn't the cheapest solution out there but with the aluminium lining and leather jacket, it's one of the toughest. We've been using the Nokia 5800 case, which follows the same model and found it to be tough and durable.

Noreve Nokia N97 Tradition Leather Case

However, if you want the height of luxury for your Nokia N97 then you need to check out the Noreve Nokia N97 Tradition Leather Case. This is another leather case that offers even more protection, as it has reinforced sides. However, what gives it its luxury status is that you can choose form a whole array of colours! At 39.99 Euros it has the most 'luxury' price tag here but for those who need the best in everything, this may well be worth checking out!

Nokia Carrying Case CP-323

This is the official Nokia carry case for the Nokia N97 and is designed as a slip case, so you have to slide your handset from the case in order to use it. It has a sleek design and is made quality fabric and includes a soft lining to help keep your display clean. Available in black or light grey.

The same case is on offer from MobileFun and costs £12.98 (inc. VAT). What's more, there are also a few reviews of this case on the site, with one buyer stating 'This case fits around the N97 perfectly, providing great in-pocket protection without adding bulk,' making it worth considering if you just need something simple to use day-today.

Leather Flip Carry Case for Nokia N97

If you're on a tight budget and are simply after a neat little slip case, what could be easier than this. For £4.99 (inc. VAT), you can get hold of what at first looks like a tobacco pouch but is in fact a neat little case for protecting your Nokia N97

    Thanks for mentioning Mobile Fun! We like the CP-323 too. As we\\\’ve come to expect now from Nokia, the quality is exceptional for this genuine case. N97 owners want to take care of their new handset, and therefore quality is an important consideration.

    Thought I\\\’d just also mention our ToughGuard Shell case for the N97 – which is also proving to be very popular – the polycarbonate design provides protection, but the N97 slide action still works well.

    I boght the CP-323 too and it’s a good case for me when I’m out on the bike but not so good for just out and about so I went on the hunt for cases and found this website http://www.senacases.com/Brands/NOKIA-N97-CASES/NOKIA-N97-ELEGA-POUCH_2 I went for the plain black case and damn! it’s good !! solid construction in sweet soft touch black leather with a real soft plush inside, I cannot recommend this case enough!!

    Another case worth definitely worth considering for the N97 is the Nokia CP-382:

    Original Nokia high-quality – so It fits perfectly, nice and tight. Also it exposes the headphone jack (unlike the CP-323).
