Does it hold firmly to the N900 ? So that it won't fall out or on the other hand does not get bent/scratched, etc. ?

Also, I think the headphones hole alignment is quite important - like for using the gamepad in a bus, which could be quite a frequent scenario) etc.

The button placement looks good - basically the same one as game gripper, which I use and which is perfectly usable. Only issue with the Gamegriper is hands getting numb after a longer session, but I guess that can't be solved even with a changed layout on the Gamepad, due to the shape needed so that it can tap the keyboard.

Anyway, looking forward to Gamepad V2 (with the fixed button size you mentioned) - will give it a try on our local RepRap.
