I'm using a freezer bag :P

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector
 
Just applied the Vikuiti DQC-160 screen protector. Went on perfect the first time, no bubbles. It is quite a rigid screen protector so nice and easy to line up with the top of the screen and then push down with a credit card so its flat and straight.

Almost un-noticable except for where the holes are for the proximity sensor and phone speaker.

10 x easier to get on than the Durasec which went in the bin after trying several times and ruining it.

No noticeable affect on screen sensitivity.

One happy customer.

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector
 
I bought the DuraSec ones, but based on the opinion here, I think I need to get these Vikuiti ones too ..

So I have a few questions regarding the Vikuiti's ..

1) Which one to get: Vikuiti DQC-160 (just one piece for about $13.4) or Bedifol UltraClear (6 pieces for about $7.39) ..

Isn't the second option more cost economical ? I mean you get 6 pieces, so you have room if you mess up in applying the screen protector first few times. With the DQC-160, you only get one piece. So if you waste that, then you would have wasted $13.4 .. Or is there some point I'm missing here which is why people are still preferring the DQC-160 ??

2) How long does the delivery take to arrive in the US ?

One lasts years, one lasts weeks.

But what about the people in the US ?? How do we get these ??

Could someone explain the real difference between The Vikuiti™ DQC-160 and Zagg, screen protector?

The real difference in practical terms.

I suppose the difference between the ARMR-Series and DQC-Series of Vikuiti? Easy said: ARMR is matte, has a "rough" surface and is anti-glare. It has some anti-scratch mechanism as well: the "rough" surface is somewhat "soft" so that small scratches go away after some more usage because the soft layer on top the film "melts" back together under the pressure of the finger or stylus applied while using the film.

The DQC is the "normal" glare-type screen protector, no specials AFAIK...

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector
 
I was thinking of getting one of these:

http://shop.hardgraft.com/product/phone-card-wallet

I emailed the website and it should fit an n900. They've got other neat phone cases too.

You means ARMR-Series is like the invisibleshield of ZAGG, right?

So maybe DQC would be better for resistives screens.

Don't buy it. I used several years ago phone-card-wallet and several months later screen of my PDA was all in scratches. Really cards can scratch screen. I personally prefer when phone has separated pocket.

I was thinking about that too, so I'm a little hesitant. I'm a getting a screen protector, but it will probably have to be replaced much quicker than normal use after sitting in that case with the cards.

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector
 
Going back a few posts about Waterfield Designs and their Suede Jacket / Pocket for the N900 I got this e-mail for those who were concerned about the shipping charges to Europe. I realize it's still a little high but definitely better than 25 bucks:

Thanks for the quick, nice note Eric and for tracking us down and giving us a shot. We are all about word-of-mouth so we certainly appreciate this link by Speednut Dave and mention on the forum. I hope we live up to your expectations for your N900.
If you do post, you can let folks know that "We ship to Europe everyday. If you would like just Suede Jackets the shipping price for Priority Mail in an envelope is only $15. When going through the shopping cart you will need to select the $25 option but we will change your shipping price to the lower $15 and you will see this change when we e-mail you your shipping confirmation. Also a good idea to write into the Special Instructions Box on the last secure ordering page "Please reduce my shipping charge to $15."

^ i ordered my suede jacket from waterfield. i live in SF, so I actually have the option of picking it up from their facility. (i placed in the order and 2 hrs later they said it was ready for pickup) for those worried that they wont reduce the shipping, they do indeed, I had to pick the regular shipping option, but noted in the special instructions box that I will pick it up, and the $7 was not charged to my card. really friendly and responsive people, and the quality of their product is great! i really recommend them!!

I ordered from them too, and am waiting for them to ship. Should get it sometime this week...

Anyways how is the quality? Is it worth the money? Can you take a pic?

My last one was this:
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Wall.../dp/B0013AYRXC

It is pretty comfortable except small issue with magnets (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...355#post415355). But compare with n85, n900 less sensitive to magnets.

Quality is great! its super thin but its nice and soft on the inside for the device. i plan to have the n900 in my pocket most of the time, so having a thin protective casing is just what i need. my n900 has yet to come in yet *throws fist at dell*, but it "should" be coming in tmr. when it does ill take a photo of the n900 in the jacket for ya :)

sup guys, i want to ask about the suede jacket.

how is the suede jacket feel? is is strong?

what might happen to the N900 if it fall with the case? do you think it will hold?

does it have a string in the top to tight it up so the phone won't fall?

how big is the shipping weight for this case? because i'm thinking to consolidate it with my N900 order trough my US agent

and lastly what is the correct size for N900? i saw alot of different size in the website

pegasus 2009-12-08 02:12

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector
 
The site has the dimension on there...I dont have the jacket in my possession, but I am guessing it is durable.

This isnt a hard case, so I dont suggest tossing the phone all over the place. Its cloth, so it can only protect it but so much.

Re: N900 Case / Pouch / Screen protector
 
I'm using the Nutshell Leather belt case originally for my old Treo 650 for my new n900 and the loaner before that.

Special bonus: the headphone hole cut for the 650 aligns nearly perfectly with the headphone port on the n900. And the top strip is thin enough to allow charging while closed.

Not sure if it's changed since I bought mine (3-4 years back)
http://www.tuff-as-nuts.com/treo-650-belt-case.html

Been quite happy with their cases, also got a case from them for my aging Zaurus SL-6000 5-6 years ago; both are still in great shape.

Will try to get some pics later.

I don't have any experience with the listed pouches. Another good choice might be EASECASE, a chinese company selling via ebay, an example:
http://cgi.ebay.de/B1-EASECASE-Tailo...item5637b83d06
These are pretty customizable and the quality is reported to be good. The price itself is good for what you get.


About the screen protector you'll get different opinions. The Vikuiti protectors are okay, but I prefer the EXiM Ultra Clear over my DQC-160:
https://www.displayschutzfolien.com
They cover the complete display without any holes, the Vikuiti one has cut-out holes for sensors and cameras, which can collect dirt.

Update on the Waterfield Suede Jacket sleeve:

I've been quiet while I have tested out several sample sizes of the Waterfield Designs case on my N900. I gave them my final feedback over the weekend and it sounds like they are already shipping the jacket now. I noticed they also have a size listed in the order form for the N900.

The jacket fit is slightly snug. If you hold the jacket with phone inserted with the bottom facing down, the phone will not fall out. A gentle shake will dislodge the phone. It's very easy to get the phone in and out. As far as dropping or drop protection tests... well, I'll leave that up to someone else to experiment with. I've been waiting over a year for the N900 and don't want to risk it!

Photos... I think these photos I took should help: :D :D :D
