Here is a case you all would like. They are out of stock now but they will receive some in two months or so. However, they have the vertical version also available.

Please post some links. At the time I didn't finy any decent pouch so I bought that one...

it looks nice if the demo photos are true. But pricey so I went with clarivues. Hopefully it arrives soon. I'm starting to notice the micro-marring on my screen. :mad:

Will definitely try MF's next.

Are there any book type cases that don't use a plastic covering over the keyboard? And are the book type cases comfortable when held as a phone?

I have the D2 case but with the push through enclosure. I actually really like it. Looks classy and stays shut well. They are great cases. Really high quality. They come in a gift box inside a felt bag. I use that bag to sit the N900 on when it is just on my desk. (Yep I am fussy so do everything I can to keep it scratch free). The only thing with this case and any horizontal one I imagine is you remove the N900 on an angle rather than pull it straight out as it can flick the unlock slider as it is a snug fit. That is really nit picking though. I could not be happier with it and I avoided the magnet issue with this closure. I customised it with red inner and my initials and this closure. First class guy to deal with also.

I have a clear protector on my N900 to protect the screen. Love that also. Really easy to put on (don't let the water method scare you).

Hope this helps.

Go gollas webpage -> retailers -> select country and it lists electronic shops as well.

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen Protector Thread
 
I have a golla too. It was to use before I got my Easecase. Have to admit it was really good. I don't think it offers as much protection as the leather easecase if the N900 was dropped though.

The default one does, yes, but you can customise it as you like - there's three or four different closing mechanisms you can choose from.

The golla retailers in Portugal don't have the pouch that I want... I guess I'll need to buy it on eBay.

Just got my PDair Book type http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product...ducts_id=26893

Looks good. The fit is a little bit tight but I'm expecting the leather to "open" a little bit by using the case.

On a sidenote, they also sent me a leather keyring for free. A red leather keyring. Heh.

I think they are made of clear hard plastic.
I think there is rubberized feel colored spray paint on it.

+They are light and easy to put on.
+They look and feel good.
+They do not make the N900 feel any bigger.
+/- The buttons on top and side is better protected/harder to reach.
-The one for the screen does not stick very well.

I decided to get a better Screen Protector than what I have before I eventually use a "needle head" of silicon or similar a few places between the N900 and the hardcover, this would stick it on safer.

Take a close look at the retaining tabs in the case top half, at the lower right side, where it slides over the keyboard. I had to file it a little so it didn't scratch the lower case half of the N900. Also, the top case half on mine was loose and would pop out with moderate pressure, so I use two pieces of insulation tape on each side, in side the top part of the case. Nice 'n tight now. Of course, there are many different kinds sold on EBay, so yours might not have these issues.

Almost un-noticable except for where the holes are for the proximity sensor and phone speaker.

10 x easier to get on than the Durasec which went in the bin after trying several times and ruining it.

No noticeable affect on screen sensitivity.

One happy customer.

Detailed pictures of this on your N900 please?

I ordered an EASWCASE from their e-bay store. It is a chinese company and they offer choice of designs, colour and leather (all configurable as you order). It took 2 weeks, but it was well worth waiting. The quality of craftsmanship is outsanding (was surprised). The price is a reasonable 24£ delivered. For me this is the ultimate case for N900 so far. It offers style (unlike 99% of the cases - IMHO) and protection while stereo jack remains accessible (a must). The phone sits sterdy inside and wont fall off (so far) - you can choose an extra strap but I figured it was not needed...Have a look at the pics..

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen Protector Thread
 
Ok - bit of a funny one here. Originally I had the Clarivue Privacy screen protector fitted to my N900. I wrote it wasn't fully up to my expectations so I was ordering the Ultra-clear version.

I applied the Privacy edition on the day of the PR1.1 firmware update and since that point, my battery life on the N900 has barley lasted the day.

Skip to today. I've had the Clarivue Ultra-clear fitted (which is excellent btw) for the last 4 days. I wouldn't say my usage has changed nor have I installed or uninstalled any extra apps. My battery life has suddenly become amazing, its past half way through the day and it still has 90% of its battery remaining with moderate use.

I've had my N900 since mid-december so it cant be down to battery cycles (??) but it seems too coincidental. My only guess can be it was down to the privacy filter covering the proximity sensor, perhaps causing it to constantly activate/deactivate?

This is a pure up in the air guess and could be nothing to do with my battery drain so I'll stick the filter back on over the top during my working days next week and see if it makes a difference..

Crikey! I'd guess proximity sensor or ambient light sensor being blocked, yes.

I personally tried these cases and took pics at a Staples in Toronto.

This does not fit. Do not waste your time. ($28)

http://t2.pixhost.org/thumbs/599/140...selogic-ds.jpg
This fit quite nicely. Perfect width. About 1/2-3/4in room at the top. ($15)

http://t2.pixhost.org/thumbs/599/1402148_golla.jpg http://t2.pixhost.org/thumbs/599/140...lla-detail.jpg
The Gollas fit perfectly. ($15)

http://t2.pixhost.org/thumbs/599/1402150_omega.jpg
This was a perfect fit but horrible in terms of material. ($27)

Very interesting. I wonder, does the Zagg screen protector hinder battery life as well?

edit: Nevermind. The Zagg looks like there is a hole for the proximity sensor.

One piece goes around the edge of the screen with holes for buttons, ports, etc. The other covers the back and sides of the keyboard with holes for camera, ports, etc.

Google or ebay for "n97 rubberized hard case" for pictures.

I hope there's a case and screen protectors for the N900 soon. I'd like to pre-order them to arrive with the phone as I'm guaranteed to drop or scratch it if I don't have them!

wrapsol (www.wrapsol.com) has a skin for it

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen Protector Thread
 
I bought one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=290386256129
And I received it today. It's in two "pieces" so sliding out the keyboard is no problem. You also have access to all buttons(even including the stand). The piece for the screen feels like it will slip off any minute even though I know it wont, and also you can see some edges where it's molded togheter, but otherwise it's a great purchase. And for the price, there's nothing to talk about, really. It even protects the Nokia logo on the front. I will also buy a Invisible Shield screen protector, then my N900 should be completely safe, I hope :D

If you want some pictures, just tell me and I'll take some, since the photo on the eBay don't even show how it looks with the cover on the phone.

EDIT: It even came with a screen protector that look like the one in this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=496892&postcount=1

I was aching for a black version of this case back in the day for my 770 (hand made in Spain mind you) http://www.pielframa.com/nokia_770.htm I'm sure if they made an N900 case it would be attractive.

I really hope Proporta makes one for the N900. I missed getting one for my N800. :(

Hi, I just purchased a Noreve cover for my N900 and it has been an absolute dissapointment. First they did not have the item I ordered in stock (even though the website said they did). They then send across a different product - i wanted a black one, they send a grey-green one claiming it is charcoal. The item recieved also looked to be a used or refurbished item - worn edges are a key tell tale. After requesting a refund they asked to ship it back - the cost of which would negate any refund amount.
End result - stuck with an item that looks used, isnt the color i want and have no way of returning.

Thoroughly dissapointing experinece - my advice - never buy a product from this company - its over hyped,over priced and lousy.

on top of that upon my complaint of the quality, the customer rep 'Cynthia' responds;

no problem... Have a good day.

Is that the same as this? I think there are two types of clear cases, a hard one and a flexible one. Do the tabs that hook onto the phone feel strong?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're the same. The tabs on the bottom part feels strong but the top part tabs feel not that strong, but I managed to hold the phone only by the top part so I guess it will hold. Neither part have fell off during usage at least, so that's good. And really, for 3$ I wouldn't have cried blood if it weren't any good.

I see the customization options now. Looks good. I may go with a different closure though. I see there are two types of snap closures available for the D2, designated as "Two magnetic snaps" and "Two snaps". Is the "Two snaps" closure non-magnetic?

Is there any functional difference between the two different belt loops?

Am I correct in assuming that the belt clips include the belt loops?

How good is the quality of the belt loops and clips?

How does the leather compare to Noreve? Is it better than your typical cheap ebay stuff?
