I frankly don't think very much of the "official" case: The Archos PMA430 came with a similar "case" (not magnetic though, but a clip-on, and sideways rather than top-bottom) and I find it more of a hindrance than a protection. But who knows, the Nokia version might be totally different... :rolleyes:

What I don't get are the extra magnets, supposedly to attach the N800 to a fridge. Now, I don't know how people use fridges in Finland (probably not that much, seeing as how they have a landscape-sized fridge outdoors), but over here no magnet is capable of staying on the fridge for more than a couple of days. I'd really really really not trust my N800 hanging there...

But point taken: I shan't mention alternative cases, like this one: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=105191, any more.:D

Yeah, it is pretty steep (£ 24.95 is $50!!) for what is quite a minimal case, but unfortunately it's precisely this minimalism that appeals to me! :o

Mil or anyone as I referred to in an earlier post when we first got the new updated firmware the Tableteer Applet Icon (that shows up on your IT desktop if you use it) I swear showed to me what appeared to be a HARD COVER for the N800 did it not ? The link never did work as it always gave a 404, (and now is mysteriously gone as well) but I swear it looked to be a hard cover, I mean the icon was small so you couldn't get a great look at it and as I said before as the link was broken unfortunately.., now that I might, maybe pay $43.95 for, maybe.. :cool:

After waiting for "Availability" to change to today (it was "Available in 1 day", yesterday) the availablity has now jumped to 31 August...

I have visions of this turning in to the same farce as last time where it will end up "Discontinued" due to Nokia not providing any stock.

:(

The cover is turning out to be the most anticipated vaporware since Thor-CD.

I'm wondering this myself. I don't keep my keys, wallet, or cell phone on the fridge. Why the heck would I want to keep my n800 on the fridge?
