Yes you must have the silicone sleeve on the phone for it to fit.

I have also found the volume and power buttons almost impossible to operate even though there is a cut out in the holder.

Also not that the phone slides into the holder from below, this restricts mounting pots and means in my car I have to tilt the holder to get the phone in.

However it is very well made and one in the phone is very secure.

Thanks alot for the pics and opinion of the Brodit there John, very useful indeed. Don't suppose you have any thrid party silicone jackets you could try with it?

Reason I ask is I've discovered white silicone jackets do exist, but of course not made by Nokia.

Guess I could just use use one of the official jackets specificly for the mount mind you.

Re: N9/x0 Accessories: cases/car holders/gaming/other
 
You could always get a silicone sleeve and cut it down and attach it to the brodit mount permanently. Then you can just slide the white N9 in

Good protection, but it makes swipe sometimes difficult, I need to practice it!:rolleyes:
Great looking in suede, very well done.
Just one mistake for me: no way to charge the battery while it's closed...

This is one of the reasons I chose the Melkco over the Noreve case(you have full access to the microUSB flap with the case closed). Another is that the closed case doesn't block the speaker at the bottom.

Highly recommended case!

Oh, and for side swypes and I tend to swipe away from the volume buttons cut-out, makes it far easier;)

cevenn 2012-03-21 17:20

Re: N9/x0 Accessories: cases/car holders/gaming/other
 
You're right.
And l use it as you for the swipe.
It would be great to be able to separate the front cover to use the phone easier in landscape. I think Krusell does.

I quite agree there, my wifes iphone case is like this and I often think it's a nice design touch.

Times such as using the phone for navigation where it's best to pop the phone in a mount, means you need to remove the case. If the front section could unhook it would become just a back case which would be preferred than nothing at all.

Still, overall very happy with my case, especially for the money I paid(was something like £23 delivered).

I am using the Nokia CC 3015 hard case and am very impressed. The design might not be everybody's cup of tea but the fact that you can put the phone down upside down without the glass touching the surface makes it a winner for me.

Just bought bh-221 bluetooth headset, black version. Would have wanted to buy the white to match my N9 , but store was out of them and had only 1 back so here I am...

pairing was super easy with NFC. Sound quality is little better than bh-214, which was pretty good itself. There are treble and bass boost that enhance the music if you are into that kind ofthing. Using it with Koss headphones ( do not remember the model) . Have not bothered to use the ones that came with it.

Nice feature is that when connected to phone,when play is pressed music starts regardless of music player been open or not.

All in all I am pretty pleased with it.

Bought it from Verkkokauppa.com. The same store that some user here have bought there White N9.

It was the first patch that came to them, they had also pink and blue( Cyan?) but I figured that the black fitted best with my N9

Everyone contact Otterbox to let them know you want one for the N9*:
http://www.otterbox.com/nokia-cases/...efault,sc.html
They've already released one for the L900....

*or at the very least the 800, which MAY then be moddable.

they made it for the lumia 900 cause it had a lot of hype, they wouldnt make a case for a "dead" phone. thats usually how otterbox is.. they didnt make one for a couple phones i had because the hype wasnt that big, which is kind of dumb

i bought a nillkin case and i cannot be more happy

Re: N9/x0 Accessories: cases/car holders/gaming/other
 
I purchased a SU-39 stylus recently, as it is compact and the description stated that it would work for capacitive screens (although the N9 was not in the list of the compatible devices, but the list looked fairly outdated anyway). Result: it does not work. At all.

Would you have any idea of a compact stylus like the SU-39 that would work on the N9 ? I need something I could let attached to the silicon housing of the phone. It would be for using HarmChom and stuff like that.

Brookstone Tablet Pen for Touch Screen Devices. I Use this with my Asus transformer and occasionally on my N9. The stylus has a telescoping feature to extend an extra inch and a half. However, the 3.5mm stub breaks easily.

Kabouik 2012-06-28 12:43

Re: N9/x0 Accessories: cases/car holders/gaming/other
 
Thanks for your answer. However the stylus does not look that compact to my opinion, it's thick. A thinner shape would allow viewing the screen while using it, and more accuracy. But perhaps something like the SU-39 but compatible with N9 just does not exist...

Anyone had any experience of the Amzer case for N9?

http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-pag...N9&skuno=93557

Certainly an interesting design idea, I'm tempted to get one to use at work. Would be nice if anyone has an opion to share though, always worry about hard plastic inside edges since I stopped using my Melkco case for that reason(apparently scratches over time).

I got a response from them:

Hi Alison/Customer_service,

If that's the case then the N9 should be on your roadmap...
If it weren't for some artificial constraints Nokia's deliberately/inadvertently created over the past 16mth+ it'd be doing MUCH better.
Still, outside some key 1st world markets it's doing very well, everything considered.
And it has a very loyal/rabid fan-base, despite all the odds/factors stacked against it.
You'd be mad not to take advantage of all that....

Cheers,

Hi,

The decision to make a case for a particular device is based on a lot of
market reseach--the poplularity of the device as well as its predicted
longevitiy are very much taken into consideration. We certainly listen
to the suggestions and desires of our customer base as well. Any time
someone requests a case for a certain device we do file it.

Thank you,
Alison

It can't have sold as many as the N9, it may soon but there's 900 successors coming, so maybe not.
How do you make your decision, & how can we best convince you to deliver a certain case?

Cheers,

Hello,

I apologize. I certainly did not mean to be dismissive.
We simply do not make a case for that phone at this time, and do not have any set plans to do so.
When and if we do decide to make that case, all of the information will be on our website.
We update our website consistently and it always has the most recent information.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Thanks,
Alison
Chances still look slim to none, but it's important to note that they do factor-in the no. of emails they get requesting a case.
So even if you're not interested in this type of case, please take a minute to voice your interest! ;)

If that's the logic then why did they make one for the N900???
It was FAR less hyped overall than the N9, didn't roll out with carriers/resellers in MOST countries, was mainly only in retail channels worldwide.
Nokia saw it as "step 5 of 6", their experimental/learning device before their 1st mass-market & consumer-focused maemo/meego phone.*

*disclaimer: I love the N900, I have one, & I still use it regularly.

Be sure to use either silicone case or back case etc. with that one as it'll scratch up the silver camera surround, no clearance. Otherwise yes it fits perfectly(it's the mount I always use for my E7 on sat nav duties).

In other news, those White N9 owners that have been seeking a good fitting white silicone/rubber case, I've seen this one mentioned before but some were put off by the lack of charge-flap cut-out.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2509877384...84.m1423.l2649

Just purchased(or received, postage was slow) one of these and they've revised the design now and they do indeed have the cut-out for the microUSB flap. Personally I was actually a little disppointed by this as would have preferred not to have the cut-out for mine, but there we go, I think most folk will prefer it.

Just a tip.. if you can't find a dealer that ships outside USA, try using Shop & Ship (www.shopandship.com) to deliver your stuff. It's a very good option.

Same here. I only regret not getting one sooner, before I got micro scratches. Besides, they could be found for as low as EUR 6 here.

Thanks for the tip. Actually I already thought to services like that but as far as I recall, this was always very expensive. I don't know if Shop and Ship is cheaper, but anyway they do not offer delivery in France.

By the way I finally managed to get an auxillary jack wire in my car by using the CD-changer socket. It works flawlessly and the quality is great.

It has a one-time fee of $45 for a lifetime account. It may look like it's a lot, but If you're a frequent online shopper, it's worth paying. But yeah, damn, I dunno why they don't deliver to France, since they even deliver to Iraq, Tanzania, KSA, countries you haven't heard of, etc.. so that's weird O_o

Re: N9/x0 Accessories: cases/car holders/gaming/other
 
It seems many European countries are missing in the destinations. It might be a VAT issue : they might not want to do something illegal, and if they ship to these destinations legally, then it would be really expensive to the customers and they would have to warn them or face refund requests, and so on. Perhaps that is not the reason, but I guess it has something to do with it.

flopjoke 2012-08-17 12:55

Re: N9/x0 Accessories: cases/car holders/gaming/other
 
yeah, that could be it, or maybe because they have shipping locations in US, UK and China and they don't ship to any countries around/close-by these three ones. No idea why lol

but ah well, anyone living in countries supported by them can benefit by their services, especially if you want an accessory which is not shipped outside US.

Hello,

got my CP-571 today and it's great. Doesn't make the N9 make too big at all and it fits perfectly (of course it must as it is from Nokia). Swiping from the left is a bit difficult, but no problem for the other three directions.

I made some pics for you.

I just ordered a cr-122 from Amazon for 18.99 (US) seems like a good price for it.

Question: Are you suggesting using the cr-122 without the silicone cover on might not be so good? I am going naked currently and I love it that way, would rather not have to put a jacket on it. Can anyone speak to this with this accessory?

It works fine with or without the jacket.
