i bought a Nintendo DS soft zip-up play through case. on the back it also has a zip-up pocket along side the case.

looks like this only Black and for DS not DS lite: http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/produ...&cm_keycode=92

i cut the top off the clear plastic, that holds DS for play though action. but left the bottom so N800 can slide into it, on the back i used 2 velco strips to fasten it.. it's not too elegant, but it works. and small enough for pockets.

I'd been looking for a case to use for travel, and I found this case from Granite Gear at an outdoor store. they call it a "sunglass case" but it's actually flat and well padded. It's close to a perfect fit for the N800 except that it's a an inch too long, but that leaves room for ear buds.

I found a case that works well with the N800 for $19 at Bestbuy in Canada.

It is a Nintendo DS Lite case by Intec, is made of some soft leather, and has a nice look to it.. even comes with a shoulder carry strap... the belt loop I am going to modify with a metal clip.. but it "works".

edit:... oh and the "snap" is magnetic.. works well and holds tight.

Is Nokia still only selling the flip lid case accessory in Europe? That's the one I want; just something hard to cover the screen, but easy access during use. I don't care of the devices casing gets scratched up, I just don't want my pocket knife, change, etc to damage the screen.

Anyone know how to get one in the US?

It's not available anywhere, and is long overdue. :(

Re: Nokia N800 Case
 
can someone comment about the pocketability of these cases? - i want something that i can just grab out of my pocket and use (i need something that can withstand day-to-day pocketing) i'm considering the alu-leather case from proporta, but the strongman case looks to be a strong contender as well

also, i was wondering about the dust on the screen - is a screen protector necessary? (like i'm not worried about it getting on the screen, i'm worried about it getting BEHIND the screen (hasn't happened yet, but has anyone had it happen? esp. if you leave it in a pocket))

Like an above poster, I use the Nintendo DS Lite case (NDSL80). Kmart has them for $7.99. For me, it's perfect.

I'm with you. Anyone who can comment on this?

Re: Nokia N800 Case
 
If people want an aluminium flight case such as this one for the DS which should also fit the N800, see http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0251868

Or off ebay in the UK:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=110095535880

then they might want to get one sooner than later given that the DS lite is smaller and cases for that won't fit the N800.
