Nokia N9 Leather cases

The Nokia supplied ones r pretty slim & good looking:

The bookcase type from Amazon is awesome:

Melkco flip type case is another variety:

However, with the 'supplied' one snugly fitting our phones do we need another?

I have this case and rarely use it. I am not sure it was actually designed for the N9. I take the silicone case off of the N9 and it is very difficult to slide it into the cp553 case. It's also hard to pull the N9 out again.

It feels like a quality case but it is almost unusable due to how tight it is around the N9.

I had this one and sold it again on second hand market.
well done and quality, but boring to use, its not that quick and easy to get the phone out of it.

To those who show Lumia 800 cases here for the N9, beware, as the flash will be covered by a Lumia 800 case, i bought 2, the hole is longer behind the case and hide the N9 flash, better to buy a REAL N9 case on a website if not available in your country.

A new official Nokia hard cover,
http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=h...ch&um=1&itbs=1
by far my favorite, most beautiful and fist class plastic cover i tried for now.
I tried it live with a same Lumia cover (except the flash hole on the back, of course, and the colour is full blue http://www.handtec.co.uk/shopimages/...032_Blue_M.jpg) and it really rocks, can't compare with all hard cover in basic colors and thick plastic we see on ebay and else, mostly from China, plastic is sweet, left and right borders are available completely to swipe, as plastic on this part is small and thin
Seems really brand new and not available in shops for now, only on Nokia sites.
My future hard cover for sure.

I purchased it a while ago, but stopped using it after about a week. It is just too tight. Even after stretching it overnight it comes back to its original size in 15 minutes of use.

I just purchased Noreve flip case and its been great.

Nice, but I wish Nokia would just offer plain black, magenta, cyan, & white (& other colors maybe) versions.

So I purchased two cases from Ebay from the user taipo212 and they are really decent cases for the price. The white one has a really nice glossy look to it. The blue one I think is lighter blue than the original Cyan, think Carolina Tarheel Blue is the color. It fits snug, the holes on the back are cut perfectly. On the sides there are no holes for the buttons, but indentations that work perfectly as well.

The only drawback to this case is on the top of the phone there is only a cutout for the headphone jack, there is no cutout for accessing the usb port to charge the device, so when charging you just slip it out of the case which isn't that difficult. Out of 5 stars I'd give these cases a solid 4 because of just only having a cutout for the headphone jack.

They all look very glossy from their pictures here
http://stores.ebay.com/taipo212/_i.h..._sid=825340357
Is it from a similar material to the real nokia ones?

Is this the official one btw? Out of curiosity...

ZackMorris 2011-12-29 21:54

Re: N9/x0 Accessories: cases/car holders/gaming/other
 
I would say they do have a bit of gloss to them but nothing too extreme. The material is a bit more rubbery, not as soft as the case that came with the N9, however the fit is great and doesn't affect swiping anyway and the cutout on the back of the phone is perfect, I really hated the ones that just have a vertical cutout for the lens and flash. For a few bucks I think it gives you really nice color options.

That seems to be the official case on Expansys, all the official cases seem to be around that price range from other sources.

Thanks for the share... the pricing of these r great!

Slipping the case off everytime while charging is a nuisance though, 'coz that'd soon make the material loose/disfigured. But heck, @ that price it's still adorable.

Since I don't take many pics with my N9, I guess I haven't really noticed it.

Oh well, time for a warranty-voiding mod with a sharp craft knife. :D

Other than the case covering up the flash, I still like the feel and style of the case.

Excellent, thanks for that!
It would indeed be very cool if we could get the touchpad working for cursor & swipe actions.
But main thing is it's working pretty solidly as a BT keyb.

Great news, apparently it will be compatible with the N9!
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...00#post1153400
It seems like a very good quality portable keyb, remains to be seen though I guess.
Apparently it won't be released till later in the year, & will be "roughly" $50.

Just got a Brodit passive car holder fof N9. First reaction is WTF? Does not fit at all because apparently it should be used with N9 that has silicone case on. I don't use (or even have because my white N9 came with leather pouch) silicon case.

I agree - the CP-553 looks great but is too tight to be usable without some serious stretching. The CP-557 works pretty well.

My biggest surprise was a flip case off EBay I got in desperation for all of $5 with free shipping :D - it works well and has saved my N9 from some knocks. Eventually a bit of plastic did crack but I just bought another!

For a car holder the old CR-115 I got for my old E55 works perfectly well

Pocket Boom Portable Vibration Speaker
-Demoed with Nokia N9
http://i41.tinypic.com/263j061.jpg

It’s a funky little speaker with an awesome conduction twist. Solidly build, looks great and sounds awesome as long as it can firmly attach to the surface. Speakers as small as these are obviously not for audiophiles but they are a great option for folks that travel or just a nice geek thing to have. With just your phone, a pocket boom and and easily obtainable cardboard box (or other useful surfaces) you can have music a crowd of people can listen to on the go.

These can be picked up at MobileFun for £19.99, making it one of the least expensive conduction/vibration style speakers available (as well as being nicer looking).

if you wanted to get the cp-571(some people like oem stuff)


same price as the melkco case


http://www.amazon.de/Nokia-Tasche-CP...9626617&sr=8-3


same dealer as on the uk site, price is a touch cheaper here


the noreve case(exact same design) is about 15$ more than this, but you get to pick your own colors and leathers(more $$)

Re: N9/x0 Accessories: cases/car holders/gaming/other
 
On another note, can I advise those who might have been thinking about using the touchpad's BT KB to stay away. I bought it for my touchpad but never used it until i got the N9. With somewhat flakey BT support now available i paired the two devices and found ONLY the alphabet is recognised when typed and even then the connection is flakey.
In fact I get an error where the backspace remains pressed (not physically) and all my typed text gets deleted.

Funny because the touchpad KB worked perfectly with the SGII.

Anyone see these official Lumia 800 cases from Nokia?

http://europe.nokia.com/find-product...?phoneid=26011

I reckon some of these can fit on our devices - especially the hard cases as they do not have a side (so no hole for the camera key).

Decent leather case too.

Edit

Forget about the different placement of the flash on the Lumia. I dont really use it anyway..so not an issue for me.

And some fancy N9 cases too

Do I understand correctly that you need the official Nokia silicone sleeve to make the N9 fit correctly? Being a white N9 owner(it doesn't come supplied with one and there isn't an official white sleeve either) it's the thing that puts me off buying one.
