Can anyone recommend a case and/or screen protection for the Nokia Lumia 530, which has had a few popular deals recently, such as:

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/196561 (Kmart)
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/198446 (Dick Smith)
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/199329 (Big W) and
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/201606 (Woolworths)

The phone seems common, but no shops seem to have anything to protect the phone.

Recommendations from experience would be better than posts saying "you can get this on ebay" :-)

Thanks for your help.

    Any serious suggestions from any of the people who bought from the Kmart/Dick Smith/Big W/Woolworths/Officeworks-Price-Match-Because-This-Is-Ozbargain sales?

      Hmmm, since no one have answered, I might talk about my experience with other Lumia phone (925) and the case I've got for them.
      I think it'd be better than nothing at least (besides, it will pop on the live feed so someone who actually had experiences with 530 cases might see it).

      1. The official one broke on my gf (I've given her mine because she was interested), after she dropped it on its corner. Be fair, the cover only covers the corners and the back (frankly think 530 case has better design) but, I think parts breaking off or cracking to be exact would probably happen to 530 hard case.

      2. The leather flip cover I've got from eBay for 925 broke on me (the leather flip part was glued on and the glue came off) after few months of usage. Frankly, I found it too flimsy to recommend to people.

      3. The silicon? latex? case I've got for another phone of mine didn't work because they covered the hard keys and the hard keys were getting pressed by the case, I'd avoid those unless you can get a refund (just in case).

      I'd probably get a glass screen protector and a silicon case, but that's just me. Aliexpress and eBay has them cheap. Ali takes slightly longer and they don't use Paypal, so you might not want to use them, but I've never had problems with them, yet. Amazon might have more cases, but Amazon tend to be more expensive because of the shipping cost (that said, if you have other things to buy, Amazon is a decent choice as well).

    Thanks for your suggestions. Anyone tried anything with the 530?
