Body Glove Landmark Case (HTC Surround) - Review

We've looked at the Body Glove Landmark series of cases before. We liked the instance with the HTC Affect Pro also equally for the Samsung Jack. At present we turn our sites on the top case for the HTC Surround.

The soft chocolate-brown case is well made, looks overnice just how does it make the transition to the new Windows Telephone? Does the Landmark brand the grade with Surround or does it fall short of expectations?

Design and Structure

Body Glove Landmark Overhead

The Body Glove Landmark is synthetic of soft brown leather. Stitching is tight with no loose seams present. The side of the instance has stretchy cloth to accomodate the thickness of the Windows Phone.

Body Glove Landmark Clip

Lined with soft felt, the Windows Phone is held in place with a magnetic flap. To the rear a leather wrapped, rotating clip can be found. The clip is stiff plenty to hold the instance nicely in place on your belt.

Fit, Feel and a Major Weakness

The HTC Surround fit nicely into the example but the major weakness of the example that really can't exist overcome is the flap. With the HTC Surround, the flap doesn't extend long plenty to exist secured in place. Either the case needs to exist a little deeper (and so the phone can sit lower) or the flap a little longer.

Body Glove Landmark with Surround

The gap is simply big plenty to prevent the magnets from contacting and the flap may eventually stretch enough. If you lot don't mind an open top case, it was very comfy on the belt. The loose flap did go a little annoying though.

Overall Impression

The Torso Glove Landmark Case worked well with other Windows Phones but it falls short for the HTC Environment. If the case was a smidgen taller and so the phone would sit lower, I would accept no reservations on recommending this example. Even so, as is, with the flap unable to secure properly we'd have to pass on this example for the HTC Surround.

The Landmark Example is a universal case and a shorter Windows Phone would fit the example ameliorate. If you accept such a phone (Touch Pro, Samsung Jack, Treo Pro, etc.) the Landmark is worth because. Surround owners should really await elsewhere. The Trunk Glove Landmark Case is currently running $12.95 over at the WPCentral Accessory Store.
