Re: Nokia 8800 Sirocco
Mobile Fun used to sell them, as did L8shop.net
And moving to the Nokia forum....

If all else fails, there is always the dreaded eBay....

Re: Nokia 8800 Sirocco
I know, from bitter experience, that most aren't genuine. However if the intention is to get your phone looking good again, some of the 'fake' cases are actually pretty good. The fit and finish is decent and wear well.
But if you're looking to refurbish it to sell on, don't bother as it's fairly easy to spot the fakes.
I've bought from L8shop.net many times over the years and would recommend them highly. I've used Mobile Fun less, but have nothing but good things to say about their service from my experience. Both also sell the tools needed to do the job, which is handy.

To be honest, the 8800 Sirocco is "the case" otherwise it's a £30 phone, that's why I don't get people that are selling scratched sirocco's for a lot of money.

Re: Nokia 8800 Sirocco
I paid £100+ for a full housing replacement back in 2007 (metal, plastic back, camera surround & keypad) and that was for a standard silver model.
I can't imagine they can even produce them for £29.99, let alone the gold model...
I think I remember MobileFun and First2Save selling the official ones though...
