Long version: I'm a big guy and want to carry my N900 in my front pocket just like I do for my N810. A simple sleeve or pouch would work best for me to prevent scratches to the screen, but not add extra bulk to the already chubby N900.

I'm a huge fan of Waterfield Design, a San Francisco company who makes all of their products in house. A photo I took that shows their quality workmanship can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/speednutdave/3073066779/ (select "all sizes" to view high-res photo)

I've given them the Nokia spec page with the N900 dimensions (http://www.nokiausa.com/find-product...specifications) and they informed me that they can have the case ready for production in a week or so. If you want to order one now, just pick the droid version, then in the special instructions section, state that "custom size is needed for Nokia N900 -
4.37" height x 2.35" width x .77" depth".

The "suede jacket" is $9 + CA resident state taxes + $7 ground shipping :mad: (however, shipping from SF to San Jose is same day or next day, so at least it's fast for me ;))

I'll update this thread again once I've received the pouch/"suede jacket".

Waterfield Designs makes some great stuff. Just ordered their suede jacket for the N900 too. They said it will take about a week to make. Looking forward to getting it :D

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector

Anyone know if Vaja is making any cases for the Nokia N900 - or if the horizontal case for Nokia phones will work for the N900 ?

I checked with them and they said they'd do it with the Pocket or without. Ordering now :D

I do not think you going to get your protectors.
This web is scum.
I hope i am wrong.
Some one gave us a link ,on amazon, to similar web page. n900 was 280$.
The web was with the same icon...
Good luck.

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector

i actually bought that same screen protector from their ebay for 8 bucks shipped before i knew that you couldn't cover the proximity sensor. i'll test it out and see what happens and let you guys know how the phone gets affected with the proximity sensor covered.

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector

Interesting.

I got my spare (not that I probably need them because they don't seem to scratch) Vikuiti DCQ-160s from schutzfolien24.de and they were smaller then the previous ones, which were a bit too large for the N900. Otherwise similar package etc.

Date on this new package was 27.11.2009, don't know if that is from a newer batch because I lost the old package, but my curiosity got the best of me and I removed the perfectly fine self-cut one and applied the new one.

It fits perfect! Went in on the first try without any air bubbles or anything, tight fit but not too tight to be able to easily put in place.

It just got a lot more easier to recomment the Vikuiti!

BTW Vikuiti does not cover any of the sensors in front, there are three holes in the top left corner, one hole in the middle of left and one in the bottom left corner.

One slight problem, it is a bit too large - I used a straight-line paper cutter to cut a millimeter or so from two sides and now it works great. Absolutely lets the screen shine and so far no problems with touch working with either finger or stylus. I'm getting some more for future replacement needs. But beware, a bit cutting may be required if all are a tad big for production units.
