It won't protect from fluids. Even with leather cases you wouldn't want to be using the N900 near a pool, or putting a big mug of liquid near it.

One might want to combine this with a screen protector.

The PDair aluminum case is lined with neoprene on the inside. The review of the version for the playstation portable was positive. I ordered the N900 version and haven't got it yet. I'll come back and list my impressions after I get it and use it.

My reasons for choosing this case include that the belt clip appears to have a good grip on your belt or pants (see the sketch in my prior post in this thread) and it doesn't use any magnetic latching system. I couldn't find anything else that had a quality belt clip and didn't use magnetic latching. Can't tell if Noreve is a snap-on latch or magnetic, their web site doesn't show enough pictures of the cases, and also Noreve is much more expensive especially if you want the metal belt clip.
