to me it didnt add up much to the size of the phone at all and the slider of the phone is not effected by anyway of the case consider the case fit perfectly to the front and back of the phone and not get in the way of each other at all

I want to say dont worry, as there is a video on youtube by tehkseven, where he performs drop tests and what not on it, and it's not broken yet, lol

I dropped my N900 in the deep snow a few days ago. Thanks god that I was near my home and dry the unit with my wife's dryer :)
It is OK for now. If water remain in the unit - it is history.

well to follow up on my n900 in the toilet....nokia sent it back unrepaired says theres corrosion on the circuitry and they wont fix it. i even offered to pay for the fix and they wont. so from this day on i officially hate nokia more than apple. the n900 still works but has not net or wifi. wow what a waste of nearly 600!

Re: Drop Test: N900
 

Real sorry to hear that. However if it has been completely under water there is no certain way to fully fix it besides replacing everything. Even tiny amount of corrosion on components that currently work can cause lot more problems later. You might have ended wasting even more money.

At least Nokia keeps the water sensors inside the phone unlike Apple.

The legend says even sweaty hands can kill & void the warranty on iPhone :)

My N900 has survived falls onto concrete, rocks, and asphault. Greatest fall was maybe 8 or 9 feet. No glass screen to break and overall well built phone. No longer my main phone but I use it now and then, works great after 5 years not even experiencing the USB connector issue.

Re: Drop Test: N900
 

For the past 3 years my N900 did hit the concrete about 5 times. It's still working and I use it as my main device because apps like piergo, glogarchive and easy debian are no where else to find. At this moment I would rather use a Nokia Lumia Windows phone as an alternative instead.
