The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
I found the best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard (Bluetooth).

Case Logic - Compact Portable Hard Drive Case
http://www.caselogic.com/compact_por...?modelid=80400

$20 in Best Buy

Now, its not really the best out there, but you can carry your N800 and iGo keyboard. If you don't have an iGo keyboard, you can store your USB cable, stylus, SD Cards, etc... In order to make your N800 and iGo keyboard fit, you have to place your iGo keyboard backward where the iGo logo is face in. (Note: You should see the back of the iGo keyboard) The N800 will need the sleeve that came with it so it can fit snugged. Place your N800 backward to protect the screen.

Look at the first picture on the left of the link provided and use your imagination to store your N800 and iGo keyboard. If done correctly, you should be able to zip it up without pressuring the N800.

iGo is placed at the top (One elastic band across with fish net)
N800 is placed at the bottom (One elastic band in the middle)

Enjoy!

I have been eyeing the exact same case for the exact same reason. Thanks for clarifying this question I've had.

I have one of these and they do seem pretty good for the job with the caveat as above: not exactly a snug fit. fwiw, the
su8w fits in too.

looks cool.

but i already have a nintendo DS soft case that i can also work on N800 without taking it out, and my keyboard came with a case. so i'm all set there, i just hope someone will force me to use my N800 more, i don't think i got $ worth of use out of it.

Also have the CaseLogic case. Works well. Got mine at BJ's Wholesale Club -- $10. Better than even best online prices.

Re: The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
Been looking for one too as that pitiful condom that comes with the n800 is only VERY slightly better than nothing at all.

So far no luck, but I did find a soft case from the local outlet store for $5 that is for a PSP. Only the n800 but it is still orders of magnitude better than what the n800 came with.

All the others I have seen are just klunky or too expensive for my tastes. Wouldn't mind the price so much if they just weren't so klunky.

Wasn't impressed with the glasses case that came with the n800 out of the box, even less so the first time the n800 slid out of it - fortunately I caught it :-).

Because of that aspect alone I was seriously considering the n770. But :-).

It's out of stock online but you may be able to order it for pickup. This price may expire today.

OT: Check out these speakers too:
http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/produ....do?oid=177692

I just ordered both.

Update: CircuitCity couldnt find the case when I arrived at in-store pickup so they had to give me a $24 gift certificate. When I looked at thier slip, it read "hard drive" instead of "hard drive case". lol

Thus, look at the deal I got:

Logitech X-240 Speakers: $49.99
Case Logic Portable Hard Drive Case: $9.99
tax: $3.00
Rebate: -$30
Giftcard: -$24
--------------
Total: $8.98 :cool:

I bought a Camelbak to haul my stuff around. Sometimes I'll ride a bicycle around town and need somthing to carry the n800, cords, keyboard, keys, wallet, cellphone and water. Camelbak is the best solution for me and I even have room for a digital camea.

Hey Guys/Gals,

I was trying to take some pictures of the setup, but my camera isn't working. Could somebody take some pictures of the Case with the Nokia Internet Tablet? It would be great to see how it looks. I will see what I can do about finding another camera.

PIMP MY "Nokia Internet Tablet" lol :P

I've got a PSP one that works fine also. I can't find it at any online stores though...

It's "Game Stuff" Carrying Case. And has three pockets, in two of them the N800 fits perfectly. And it is not bulky...

Price? 10 USD...

Of interest is if you go to the case logic website they have a link to tell you if the case will fit your laptop. Thee are no laptops that fit.

Re: The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
OMG. I canceled the instore pickup for the case and ordered it again for pickup at a different circuit city. THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE CASE AGAIN!!!!

They gave me another $24 gift card. Thus, I have made $48 on a $9.99 case!!!

:cool:

Many thanks for your pictures it took me a while but I tracked them down here in the UK for my N810

http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=159040 (I like the blue colour)
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/iGo...tooth/Keyboard

Just have to wait a while for them to turn up.

Re: The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
Arrrgh. I've ordered my n800 and Stowaway but I still have a few days to wait. In the mean time I've been checking out cases. I had really been considering this case. They sell it at my local Circuit City and have it in stock. The problem is it can hold my n800 and keyboard but nothing else. I guess I'm looking for a nearly identical case that has some pockets on the outside for earbuds/sd cards. Also a belt clip would be a big plus. I may end up settling on this one but damn its just a smidge away from perfect and perfect is what I want. That or a bag of holding.

Re: The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
Yeah, I think I want something like a small brief bag. I have a normal brief bag, but if I cleaned it out, I could probably get away with folding the few needed papers in half. Then if I could keep my n810, keyboard, a few accessories, a few papers and some pens in something with a handle that would be nice.

Re: The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
I picked this one up at circuit City:

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Kodak...oductDetail.do

You can find them for less on the net with a little searching.

This bag is pretty small and It fits the N800, an iGo Stowaway keyboard, two Tekkeon MP1550 4xAA power supply's (12-20 hours battery life), a Nokia AC-4U charger, a AC-to-USB charger (to charge the battery packs), cables, earbuds, a pen/stylus, and several extra SD cards. It is semi-rigid and padded so it protects the N800 nicely.

Here are a few pics:

Wow, thats nice. :D As far as the case with my N800 and IGO KB, I normally take it with me when I go to the mall. Nice pictures Deaj.

james: You must have cut the clear plastic divider inside of the Nintendo DS soft case, in order to use the n800. Did you just trim it, or totally cut it out? If you trimmed it, can you give details? thx

Re: The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
I'm trying out a Walgreens lunch kit:
http://www.walgreens.com/store/produ...id=prod3237213
They come in various colors... I picked mine up at the store and it is navy blue, grey, and black.

It only costs $3 and looks like it would be a pretty nice lunch tote if I decide I'm not going to carry my NIT stuff in it. The main pocket closes with either velcro or a zipper around the rim. The downside is that it doesn't have a shoulder strap. I could loop one through the handle if needed but that might look a little strange.

One of my requirements was to be able to hold sheets of paper that are folded in half. It does that nicely. I cut some manila file folders to be about 6.5 inches wide and they fit nicely.

I normally carry my n810 in its supplied slipcase in my pants pocket. So the lunchkit is for accessories. In its front pocket I have my ipod, headphones, and charge cables. In the main pocket I have a few cut-down file folders, a zippered mesh pen holder (with pen, usb key, checkbook, etc.), my iGo keyboard, and a tekkeon mp1550 battery pack. The main pocket is large enough that when I go on a trip I can also put in my smallish wifi access point and its wall wart, AC to USB charging adapter, 12V to USB charging adapter, bluetooth headset and charger, and possibly my digicam.

The lunch kit is about half the size of the brief bag I used to carry around. It also has fewer compartments which further reduces its bulk and weight.

I'm carrying mine in teh EC GO EC-0005 Passport Holder. It has a sturdy belt strap secured with 2 snaps and a velcro strip. http://www.ecgo.ca/convenient03.htm , about halfway down the page. And there's a zippered pocket on teh cover flap which holds the headset really well.

Re: The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
I see that the EC-0005 will hold three dollars, an airline ticket, and has a zippered pocket that would hold the n800... but, where would you put the iGo Stowaway keyboard?

Oh, right, I forgot that part. I don't use one, I have the PS2 ultra-mini USB thumbboard I got separately when I bought the N800 ... it's smaller, and it fits into one of the pockets.

I use the MOC Mini Pocket Organizer to store my N770 (soon to be N810) and iGo keyboard. It's currently from LA Police Gear for USD 6.99. The organizer has space for pens, flashdrive, etc. and fits in my cargo pants.

It's portable and manly, albeit unpadded.

Re: The best case for your N800 and iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard
 
I just picked up a soft Samsonite case that is perfect for the N800/igo combo. It is marketed as a "Waist Pack", but you can easily trim off the annoying little strap. The center pouch is a glove-perfect fit for the N800 in its Alu-Leather Case (GREAT hard-case protection for your baby, by the way), along with the igo keyboard in its own zippered case. And there is just enough room to spare to tuck in the AC adapter. It has two zippered outer pouches, one with a "pencil case" style interior (inner zip/mesh pouches, card holder etc.) where I stow my audio connect cable, earbuds, usb cable and file cards, pens etc.. The other outer zip pouch holds my Igo AA battery charger with some room to spare. Nice and compact, rugged and well made (can't beat Samsonite). And only $19.99 at Office Depot. You might even find a better deal online.
