All the videos make me wince with the creaky, crackly sound the case makes as it's removed and replaced. I worry that it might break after a while, especially if you change a lot of Micro SD cards.

What do other people think, especially those who have an N900 in their hands? Are there other Nokia devices which use a similar cover, and if so, how have they been after a few years' use?
It looks like the N97's back cover. The first time I was afraid to take the back cover off but it really is secure. I went through a two week period where I kept switching the SIM card between the N97 and the iPhone to see which one I was going to keep and the back cover was always as secure as it was on day 1. (if you're curious, I returned the N97)
