http://www.amazon.co.uk/GreyMobiles-...7438965&sr=1-7

but i have no idea how it is fastened to the n900 securely enough that it won't just fall off................. unless nokia left some 'latch' points that screen protectors can just 'click' into.

any ideas?

That is a nice link. I am sure many are going to want that option. I don't think that is what I want though. I think I am going to keep the N900 as is, not even a screen protector, but I do want it safely tucked in a good leather case while not in use.

this is a very nice case but why is it only on the amazon UK site? and is it an actual case or a concept or something because the pictures look a bit sketchy ... but if it is real its allows you to use the keyboard which is awesome.

Based on this I would expect the N900 case to be similarly well made.

Yet they don't have a thing for the N900. These guys has it so you can customize it to your preference for $40 (Chinese made)

Orderd myself a 3M DQC-160. Should be the best screen protector out there.

I had a similar case for my N96, it uses small "clips" to grip between the 2 sliding parts of the phone (screen and keypad). Not sure if this makes any sense :D Anyway, the one I had was cheap from ebay (maybe relevant), very poor quality, rubbed against the keypad slightly when sliding, and broke after about 2 months. Hope this helps :)

I'm not a fan of these crystal cases, I've seen too many break. They are too brittle and will crack the first time you drop the phone. I guess at that price you could keep replacing it. I prefer a case with a rotateable belt clip.

Well, there's the official Nokia's slipcase the CP-321. It seems quite good, I'll buy and pair it with a screen protector.
