Me too. Hopefully someone knows of screen protector that is made for the entire front glass and not just the screen. I don't want to be feeling the edges when I swipe

Re: N9 Accessory: Batteries, Cases, Car Holders, Gaming, etc.
 
Now that I am back from my vacation in the Philippines I opened up my box of cases I got from ebay that I ordered right before I left which are of course Chinese and I'm expecting very little in terms of quality.
So here are the pictures

All of the colors.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...111109_015.jpg

They are plastic and slightly less slippery than the phone but more slippery than the stock case.
There is no top or bottom to them, they are basically a wrap around so I fully expected for them to slide off up or down if I tugged on them to try to slide them off but I can't get them off. They are snug on there.

To summarize
1) not anti slip they are plastic but not glossy
2) they can't even punch the holes right SO LAME
3) they don't fall of easy in fact they are very snug on there
4) does not interfere with swipe gestures for me
5) just take a knife and scrape out the bottom of the hole where it slightly gets in the way of the bottom LED if you like the case but DO IT FROM THE INSIDE not the outside because then you will see the scrape marks like you can see on the green one so i have to toss that one.

Biggest obvious stupid mistake on them is the wholes are off center as you can see from the picks.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...111109_016.jpg

I tried to take a picture of white and my favorite yellow but the lighting from my lamp changes the yellow and if I take it away it is really dark and the white becomes a grayish. I'll try again.

yellow

Obviously that is not how they look for example if I flash you can see how bright the yellow is

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...111109_025.jpg


OK I give up
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ker/056_fg.gif

These are obviously low quality so I will be looking for another case but it's fun to dress up my little race car hottie barbecue sauce.

For those of you who are fans of the Waterfield/SFBags microfiber jackets:

http://www.sfbags.com/products/cellp...hone-cases.php

The (cough cough) iPhone 3g has close to the same dimensions as the N9--width and thickness are the same, while the length of the N9 is maybe a millimeter or two longer. Suffice to say, the iPhone 3g version ("Size 30" on the order form) fits the body of the n9 perfectly, and there is enough length on the case to be able to cover the n9 with some room to spare.

I bought the official Nokia CC-3015 case and just posted a review of it.
It would have been good if they made a plain version like the CC-3000 for Nokia N9.
But I guess this will do for now and does the same job. =P

I think there's a reason why the hole for the flash is slightly off. The secondary mic (for noise cancellation) is located in that area - this according to the user's manual of the N9.

omggg, i thought i was the only one here who was trying to find that out, lol. I'm also dying to get it! I had the Nokia BH-905i, beautiful headset, but I broke the right side...and I hear it doesnt work well with the N9 so holding off from rebuying it... But the Nokia Essence is perfect! Specially with NFC :D
Edit: Forgot to say, the only piece of information I found was near the end of 2012... I trully hope that isn't true... I forgot which site I saw that from, but I haven't seen anybody else talk about release dates...

The official cover that comes in the box from Nokia doesnt have the slightly off hole... I don't think a chinese company would know something Nokia didnt think about...or would they? lol

I would love to find out about the essence also, one thing is it just me or does is it kinda of a waste to have nfc pairing on headsets? I mean I can understand the speakers, but its not like u constantly pair and unpair headsets that you need to have nfc enabled to make it less of a chore.

I broke down and got the Nokia J earpiece. I love how it works and amazing stand by time.

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/stylish...n9-blue-100443

This is my review that dx did not publish (yet?)

Quote:

The case has different material in the front and back, the front is glossy and almost transparent while the back is more opaque and it is matte. The holes in the back are about two mm off center. The big one is just a little ugly but the hole for the flash covers about one third of the flash which is unacceptable. The seam is not of very good quality and doesn't feel very nice to the touch.
The front part is thicker than the original Nokia one, but it doesn't interfere too much with swipe. The top part is completely open and makes inserting and removing the phone easy. Also the comparison with the original one that comes with the device is unavoidable and the original wins in every aspect.

The N9 is a beautiful phone and there are many features missing to make those stunning looks possible. Don't spoil it with this case.
In short? Don't bother.

That's a nice looking piece, but a call-handling headset :(
I'm more into the music-handling headsets, which is why i am fascinated by the BH-905i and the Essence. My essential criteria are:
1) Bluetooth
2) Sound-cancelling technology
Haven't had much luck finding some...

Oh and I agree with your NFC point... NFC pairing in general sounds useless to me... only saves you tops 10 seconds... But whatever, if my N9 has it and the Essence has it, I won't complain about it, lol.

Looking at price of the 'essence', I'm seriously think sometime Nokia masturbate on technology & design ...

Anyhow, I have just buy this : Nokia BH-214

I used it in white version for years, and it was dead last week ...

Now it's time to get it in black to sweet my futur N9 and continue to serve my N900 :D

The thing is i learnt that if i wana listen to music im gonna get a real pair of headphones for listening to music, more often than not, on the n9 im gonna be hands on the phone anyway, to change albums etc, so I really don't mind the wires. Also I really don't mind noise cancellation but Im a bit paranoid, if im listening to music on my phone, its usually on the go, I dont really wana be deaf at that point in time. lol

I completely agree with you, wired headphone are unparallel in quality, but me... I really do mind wires, lol. I have been using bluetooth headphones for the past 5 or 6 years. I began with Sony HBH-DS970 then changed to DS980. But unfortunately the screen only worked on Sony Ericsson phones :( And even when I do change albums and such, my hands somehow managed to find itself struggled in the wired or obstructed by it, lol. So bluetooth all the way :)

Just wondering what others think of the BH-505 NFC headset? I got mine free with my N9, but while it's a good headset for music... it's pretty terrible at calls - microphone seems to be really weak.

From reviews I've read, that's also what I heard concerning calls... I ordered mine last Friday, hopefully I'll get it by the end of the week and I'll let you know. But personally, I rarely used my N900 and N9 to call people and even less to use a headset for it, so I'm not really concerned, lol. What concerns me is the bass...on that I have really seen mixed reviews :S

Re: N9 Accessory: Batteries, Cases, Car Holders, Gaming, etc.
 
Pretty decent for music all around. They probably won't be replacing $300 IEMs but they do reasonably well IMO. Annoying bit is most of the time after yelling "HELLO" into the headset a few times when answering calls, I just give up... grab the phone to switch it the audio to the device... and by that time the other person hangs up because they couldn't hear a thing.

That Nokia BH-214 looks really good. I started looking into it and that price seems too cheap to be true. Sure enough after some research looks like there are ton of knock-off/fakes out there.

I was talking about the rubberized case that comes with the device, imagine one glossy and white like the white version of the N9. I'm wary on trying the chinese made ones because it seems not many of them fit, the holes aren't cut to spec etc, I want it to look seamless as the one that comes with the N9 does.

Even if you don't trust the link I provided, on my side I have received the product ...

It's an original one, and it work like expected, I can manage the multimedia player with 'prev', 'next', 'pause/stop' keys, pressing for 1 or 2 seconds on the 'phone' button permit to dial the last number ...

I have checked pressing 1 or 2 seconds on the 'phone' button during listening music, the phone app start and call the last dialed number, when I hang the phone call, multimedia player resume the playing of the song where it have stopped ...

So, for €7.88 ($10.55) it's worth it :D ...

I strongly recommend the BH-214 to all others users !!!

Well, for the people who are looking for a good leather case, this one fits the N9 pretty well.

I can tell you it may look a little small at first, but once you squeeze the phone in, it's a perfect fit. All the holes line up and it has a pretty good feel to it.

I don't have pics of it yet, but I can vouch for a perfect fit for it.

The link is not working because they are out of stock on the case. I checked all their cases and that particular one is no longer listed. I did see it when it was listed and it does look nice. Hopefully we can get a pic uploaded of it and try to find it somewhere else.
