I just got mine a couple days ago, and also am impressed with it. I haven't found the lack of kickstand access to be a big deal. I just pull the n810 out of the case and use it. It's not like the case would likely protect the device if it fell while the case was open anyway, or would provide little protection anyway. I really like that keyboard access is very easy with no plastic covering the keys, and that it is both easy to remove and yet doesn't fall out easily when the case is open (although I haven't been willing to give this a true test for obvious reasons). The being able to see the screen for alarms & notices without having to open a case is wonderful. It is also very non-bulky compared to some of the leather alternatives, and compares nicely to the palm T|X in a leather case that I had been used to carrying around (just a tad longer, or I guess wider if you are looking at n810s screen, and no deeper or wider/longer[?]).

I haven't been a fan of hard cases for my many palms because they all seemed to negatively impact usability compared to the leather alternatives. This new hardshell for the n810 has made me a convert, as it now seems that the leather alternatives negatively impact the usability a bit more. The trade off is that the device is less secure in case when open compared to some leather cases. Of course, given many of us have somewhat different priorities and needs than each other, YMMV!

Thanks to all those in this thread who got one and shared their impressions!
