First, I wanted to have a hard case, so I made my own, I found that the case of an old DC600 tape cartridge fits quite well, with some foam padding around the sides and on the lid. I cut out a square out of the lid for the Dpad, to prevent pressing the center button and to make it fit.


In the end I prefer the original soft pouch, I just added a thick, corrugated cardboard insert to protect the screen. The rectangular cutout is so the centre Dpad button doesn't get pressed as I slide the N800 into the pouch.
