The Nokia Lumia 1520 is an amazing phone and for many of us, protecting its massive 6 inch full HD display is top priority. What better way to protect it other than using the official Lumia 1520 CP-623 cover.

Nokia offers the case in three colors – black, red and yellow and costs around $40. The Nokia CP-623 for Lumia 1520 is bit expensive accessory but it does its job well in protecting the display when you place it in your pocket.

The back cover is made of hard plastic and it does a great job from bumps and drops. It also prevents the big lens of its 20MP camera from getting scratched.

The back cover flops around a bit but can be rolled back allowing the user to use it as kickstand. This makes it perfect for watching YouTube and movies on the big screen of the Lumia 1520.

The case has been well designed and it does block any ports. All buttons including camera, power and volume control buttons are accessible even when the flap is closed which is  a massive plus.

So do we recommend the Nokia CP-623? Well for basic protection, it gets the job done. The design is not exactly unique and stricking like Lumia 1520’s design. But since it is an official accessory for the Lumia 1520, it does fits perfectly. Another big plus is it does not add any bulk or thickness.

Now MS has updated them and almost all of them have been recompiled for the WP8.1 users. Here is the list of the games that has been spotted by our staff.

The list is exhaustive but nothing new has been added in the games. That said we are happy to see 512MB support which will make all games compatible with WP8.1 handsets.

However it is only available at the AT&T network. According to evleaks the famous leaker, the phone could be heading to T-Mobile network as Lumia 1525.

So could the Lumia 1525 be same as 1520 but with T-Mobile branding or will it be a much different device.

Unfortunately no details on its specifications or price were revealed other than the fact that it is coming to T-Mobile.

The Nokia Lumia 630 allows users to easily change the back shell and since Lumia 635 shares the same chassis you can use the OEM cases for it as well. We recently received the official original CC-3079 accessory from Mobilefun.co.uk. The shipping was excellent and we got the product within 2 days which is mighty fast when you consider the fact that it came all the way from UK.

Here is how the packaging looks like:

The orange color is very eye catchy since it has a glossy surface. We love its build quality – very strong and does not flex much.

The Lumia 630 is offered with only matte covers but their official accessory has glossy surface. Removing the cover is very easy – just put your thumb in the middle of the back and pull out the case from bottom right corner of the phone.

Notice that the shell has unique brighter look around the edges.

The fitting is absolutely perfect – no squeaks anywhere. The case hugs the phone tightly. Button feedback is perfect. The back has a milky tone which makes the Lumia 635 and 630 stand out from the rest of the crowd.

To complete the transformation, go into settings > Theme and change the color of tiles to match case color.
