Off to Nokia for repair to get the face plate to stay on.

Now I've fixed the problem. I took a 3/4 in x 3/4 inch square piece of velcro tape and stuck the "soft" fuzzy piece on the back of the N800 in the upper left hand corner (viewing from the back). I placed it just behind the stylus opening. I put the matching ("bristle") side just inside of the pouch opening where the slot comes down the side. I secured it there with two staples. Now when I put the N800 in the pouch, the two halves of the velcro tape match up and stick, holding the N800 securely in the pouch.

I also use the pouch but I also use a silicon case, it still fits the pouch but would never fall out, it works really well.
