I mean this one - the commuter case

It's great. As I said above, you can use it while using the phone. Once you've got used to it, you hardly know it's there (except when you stay on the blower too long, it tries to slice your ear in two!).

Re: [WTB] N900 Otterbox case!
 
So... are there any alternatives worth considering which are still available anywhere in the world (and shipping worldwide)?

Basically...no.

I received my boxwave cases. They look so good! But they kill the phone signal. I kinda suspected this might happen but I did not want to think about it.

And afaik you cannot open keyboard while in boxwave, right? I wouldn't mind killing part of phone signal if the box would allow me to open keyboard without much hassle.

:eek: Did not think about this! But I use it just as safe storage, not as day-by-day carry around box. So ...

Pictures and reviews, e.g. at http://nokiaexperts.com/review-otter...es-nokia-n900/ suggest that keyboard can be opened easily in that case... this makes (or made) otterbox almost perfect case for me...

oy, back of the line! no pushing in!

I think with a little dremel time the boxwave case could be split and made to behave like an otterbox. All you would have to do is slice off the hinges and the lock catch. Then shave ~1mm from the front so the keyboard could slide out. I have 2 boxwave cases, if I try it I will post pictures.

Maybe misjerc wants to reveal his secret supplier?

Re: [WTB] N900 Otterbox case!
 
Thanks vi_ for spotting this one.
I immeadiately checked at 13:30 and there were still 9 left. Unfortunately it is overseas and with shipping and additional 20 % customs it is too much for what I spend for this.
So anybody in U.S. hurry ...

--
Or anybody (better: a few) near my location share the shipping.

I think the counter is broken, I bought one 4-5h ago when the counter was at "9", payed, got confirmation email, and amazon was still saying they have 9 more items available...Pity you didn't post earlier, we could have shared shipping (I'm not from Germany, but I have many friends there).

If they have not shipped, you can cancel your order and order again.

Amusingly the seller is called 'hardtofindacessories'!

I laughed when I saw the name of the seller :D wait, wouldn't that push me to the end of the queue? ;)

anyone interested in EU, PM me before end of day today (27th of November) and we can place a collective order.

misiak 2012-11-29 12:58

Re: [WTB] N900 Otterbox case!
 
I emailed them asking about the status of my order and that's their reply:

But I see that the available items count is decreasing. I want to ask: is my order safe? I mean, If I bought 2 items and there are 3 available - do my 2 items count in these 3 (because whatever reason) or are my 2 not included in these 3 and the order is allready being processed?

So it seems they're even able to buy more OtterBoxes in case of oversale! :D (I wonder what their source is... maybe they contacted OtterBox directly and, as a company, they were treated more seriously?)

They are perhaps unaware they cannot order them anymore.

I have contacted the site to verify inventory count and do seek a bulk discount rate.

For Europeans this would need to be big big bulk!
Postage to Europe just only 88.08$ :eek:

Re: [WTB] N900 Otterbox case!
 
hrmm, their site seems to forget to add shipping charges when using google checkout.. i ordered one to see if they will honor it.

Just 11$ each if 8 will order, afterwards say 10€ each to resend them all over Europe - which is not bad I think. And I saw more than 10 members here wanting them, if someone is for making the list - collecting cash (PayPal) - making the order - then resending items,!that would be nice.

I'm more than happy to do so, sending lots of packages and letters every day anyway.

I'd send them email (Today) asking about possibility of fixing shipping costs for cases, waiting for response.

Placed an order with jujers. The price is reasonable. Anyone actually received their order from them? It is odd that they somehow got hold of 800 cases that were out of production for like 2 years now.

Reasonable for case it self, but shipping costs at 100$ are bit high. I actually in my mail to them asked about accuracy of quantity the cases. I'm still waiting for answer. Let us know if You will have news about Yours.

Ground shipping to LA was $13.36, not too bad.

$100 is insane, you can probably find whole N900 in okay condition at that price. Are you seriously considering it?

I'm still waiting for response from them about shipping. With shipping costs around 100$ the only way to make it reasonable is to purchase 10+ pcs. So will see. Let us know if You'll get Yours.

ordedred a week ago (google checkout) and still nothing, after several calls i spoke to dan and he said there was an issue with google checkout and they are working on it.. said i should either get a refund or item will ship tomorrow......

i asked him to verify stock, he couldnt... but he is requesting they call me back tomorrow and asking that the check stock as well.

does anyone else who ordered it have a tracking number yet?

I thought it will be wise to wait for respond from them about my questions: verify stock and shipping. And I'm still waiting. So I think You might just get Your money back, and they will change 791 pcs. for Not in Stock. That's it.

If You have PayPal it will be no problem, just include case costs + shipping and send me the payment request. Can we discuss details on PM?

Hello, a question for people with the N900 Otterbox case. Is true that with the case the FM Transmitter function does not work or is affected by the case? thanks.
