Long version: I'm a big guy and want to carry my N900 in my front pocket just like I do for my N810. A simple sleeve or pouch would work best for me to prevent scratches to the screen, but not add extra bulk to the already chubby N900.

I'm a huge fan of Waterfield Design, a San Francisco company who makes all of their products in house. A photo I took that shows their quality workmanship can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/speednutdave/3073066779/ (select "all sizes" to view high-res photo)

I've given them the Nokia spec page with the N900 dimensions (http://www.nokiausa.com/find-product...specifications) and they informed me that they can have the case ready for production in a week or so. If you want to order one now, just pick the droid version, then in the special instructions section, state that "custom size is needed for Nokia N900 -
4.37" height x 2.35" width x .77" depth".

The "suede jacket" is $9 + CA resident state taxes + $7 ground shipping (however, shipping from SF to San Jose is same day or next day, so at least it's fast for me )

I'll update this thread again once I've received the pouch/"suede jacket".
so mine just arrived... i was dissapointed.. its just too simple.. i dont know if this one can protect my device. my pouch for android g1 works better than this and its drop tested. because of the leather corners, nothing happend to my n900. im afraid if i use this jacket and drop the phone accidentally...
