The device stays in my pocket most of the time with my Nokia 6682 (6682 on top, N800 on bottom with the screen towards me) and the case let's me pull it out of my pocket without having to take the case out with it and slip it back into the case when I'm done.
That "feature" also makes it easy for the N800 to slip out without you noticing it. I lost mine in the couch cushions (at someone else's house!) because of that. Nowadays, I'm more careful: I put it in my pocket open-end-first, which makes it a lot harder to put in my pocket (and take it out), because the N800 wants to slip out of the case into the pocket, but at least I don't have to worry about losing it.

The "case" situation for the N800 is awful. It's bad enough that the functionality to turn off the screen automatically is removed - I've gotten used to the power-button-enter-button combo for "Soft Power Off." The case is just very inconvenient to use!
