Well it was worth the wait and the price. Like most, I have had issues finding the right case. At first I used the slip case that came with the device. I thought it was OK, but I knew I would get something better. I first ordered a cheap leather case from e-bay and it shipped from China. It was perfect, except it had a terrible smell like formaldehyde. so I returned it. I then decided to not be cheap, and I orderd the PD air case-book style. I thought for $10.00 more it will be very nice. Well it also had the exact same formaldehyde smell, so I returned it. So next I ordered the Box-Wave case that I have been happy with, and using for a while now...BUT it has no cover! Now I have the Nokia cover, and I love it. It has all of the good things that the box wave case has + a cover. I really like how the outer edge of the siver on the N800 shows when the cover is down. I love the clean lines look, it is very stylish. The photos don't do it justice. I have to mention that the cleaning cloth it comes with is no cheapo freebie. It's heavy and thick and has a nokia logo on it(for those that like that type of thing). It would be a $5.00-$7.00 cloth on it's own. Also the extra magnets are very nice. I won't use them but I may put them up anyway. They are quite large about 5/8" x 3" and also have a Nokia logo on them. I had no issue putting the magnet on the back of the N800. It's silver, my favorite, and the color works with the silver on the front and the back tab over the battery cover is silver too, so it all works. Sorry if I sound like such a Nokia fan freek. But when they try they do make some very nice things. And I must agree that the device is more easy to use in this cover than any other I have tried. When the cover is open and hanging fliped back, the weight of the flap makes the device feel balanced in your hand and makes it easier to hold. Nash
