Then I happened to come across a display stand for GPS navigators (TomTom, Garmin etc.), and don't you know, these expensive toys also have their own market for protective cases... Most are too small or too big, but there is one from Case Logic (model name "GPS1") that is just *exactly* the right size - looks like it was made to fit !
It's a bit more expensive than the DS pouches (like 15€ instead of 10 here), but Case Logic makes good stuff. This one has much better finish, looks sturdy and likely offers far better protection.

Here are some pix of this case used with the N800.

First the case itself next to the tablet (sorry for the blur :-).

Next, the tablet inside the case, for size. :-). There is a net pouch in the lid for accessories, I keep my USB-to-charge-tip cable in there.

Finally, here is how I actually use it. There is an elastic belt in the lower part of the case ; the problem is, if I put the naked N800 inside it, there's too much slack and it jiggles. But if I put it inside the "sock" first, it's a tight fit and hard to get it out again. So what i do is leave the "sock" as a mat at the bottom of the case, and just slide the tablet beneath the elastic band, screen down against the sock. This way it doesn't move at all, the screen is well protected, and it comes out easily. A good fit !
