Now out of stock!!
The RRP is more than it was advertised at last year.
£40.99 compared to £39.99 last year.

It seems to be getting a little farcical now.

It arrived in the post today, a bit fiddly first time to get the A10 in, but very snug fit and will definately add the protection it needs in the wet weather, overall very pleased with it. Buttons worked much better than I thought they might do. |

Gibbo10 I would be grateful for your view on whether it needs the screen cover to be in place to work well? I have taken to using mine without the screen cover (kept on getting water marks between it and the screen) and putting it back on just to put on the extra cover would seem a bit perverse.

No you won't need the protective cover on, in fact the instruction leaflet tells you to remove it. The cover is for want of a better description "welded"into the silcon for total waterproofing. |

Just noticed this at the bottom of the ProSHIELD (as the now call it) product page on the website. Note the date and the damned American spelling.

What's going on? Starting to look like GB is becoming a secondary market to the US just a couple of weeks after the US launch. |

Just been browsing the new user guide ( much better than previously incidentally ).
Center !!
Color !!
Looks like the Yanks are calling the tune.

| Does look that way, but just to balance the argument a little In the satysnc user guide there are 16 instances of "Colour" only two instances of "Color" which happen to be URL's. me wonders if they uploaded the wrong version!! |

Interestingly the shorter OED I have to hand says
"centre, center ... in XVI-XVII spelt center, centre from XVIII"
"colour,color ... color has been used occasionally in England from XV and now the prevalent spelling in US"
Like a lot of "Americanisms" complained about - they are merely the spelling/alternatives from the time USA was being populated from UK
I suspect they have just hired an American tech writer/company to polish their user guides for USA market.
and if they are concentrating on USA when launching there - they are only a small company so unlikely to have resources to put everywhere.
Though in this day and age - price differential to that extent between USA & UK are good reason to complain

Received my silicone case this morning and it does seem a comprehensive piece of kit.
A bit fiddly to get the A10 in at first as Gibbo mentioned previously but I am sure this will get easier.
I just wonder how long the clear plastic screen will stay unscratched for,although it does say "Scratch Resistant".
