Best N900 Case
 
I have a new N900 coming in and I want to keep it protected. I've been considering purchasing the Otterbox, but am hoping that some of you have opinions on the best case available for the device.

I prefer to keep the phone in a pocket, either pants or jacket when it gets colder, and I despise belt clips.

Thanks all!

I got the Nokia CP-408 works very good got ports for all connections and such, no need to take out the phone.

I'm using the pouch that originally came with the G1 phone. It fits the N900 better than it fitted the G1 and it's just the perfect pouch for it.
It also doubles as a mat to lay the N900 on when typing on a table.

I have the otterbox and quite happy with it. Quite a snug fit.

For sports use, I use this case.

cp 321 for me.

Fits snug but does not allow for access to the headfone ports etc but thats not a priority for me !

I keep mine in my pants pocket too.

Those belt clip designs seem to be for the middle aged user !

You're from the UK and you keep it in your pants pocket?.......
Only joking.

Same here, I take my N900 to a lot of industrial sites and these are perfect for taking the beating my poor N900 otherwise would.

They last about 10-14 days with my heavy beating, but at this price I feel thatīs perfectly acceptable.

The problem with these otherwise very cool looking hard cases is that in the long run, they will most certainly damage your phone's plastic casing. I'm speaking from experience. It's not something one can't live with, but still, if your sole purpose is to keep your precious N900 intact, i'd suggest you give the ugly silicone cases a try. They seem to work best for me, apart from the fact that it's impossible to charge, or listen to music, or do anything, without removing the case. I'm still trying to get used to that :)

That's a good point. I guess that comes with the territory, as I don't believe there are hard cases of any quality that wouldn't do this at least at the mounting points.

I definitely want access to all ports, so maybe I should consider a leather or silicone case with proper holes.
