A few case/carry suggestions for the N8x0 users
 
Prices are in USD. Found these on eBay. The first 2 are in Australia but shipping is cheap. I realise these may be a bit much for what most users are looking for, but for people like me who are looking to carry a bit more in addition to their N8x0 (I go on outside urban-exploration photo trips, or sometimes to library) - they're perfect.

As for me, I haven't decided which I want to buy yet (needs to fit water bottle [unless I use my Camelbak], rain jacket, some food, a few supplies + N800).

1. Tactical Utility Shoulder Pack, $12.50

Wow, I love the second one, but it looks more like something you'd see special forces or swat using. lol. But it is very cool. The others, well, meh, not all that exciting.

On a side note, what's up with the ebay links? Give us something that goes to a real store, not some silly auction.

Well I have no clue what the first 2 are as far as brand, they don't list this. Else one can just Google Maxpedition, but you'll pay like $20 more.

some of the stuff here looked pretty cool. But I have to say that I am not a fan of the pseudo-fannypack look.

Personally, I'd rather just have a regular backpack.... even a compact bag over this. They all kinda look "dorky" to me.

ah yes, urbantool ;)

btw, the second image in OP kinda reminds me of a boblbe-e product i have pondered, but at a very different price level...

Some of these look really good for geocachers. I have not used my N810 for geoching yet, but I plan to use it with the GPXview program to refer to the cache listings, but will rely on my Garmin 60cxs. These bags would give ample room to carry all the essentials needed for a good geocaching trip. And the prices on the two first are great, I will consider the second one for sure.
