I read somewhere that it now has a stand on the back? I'd like a pic of that and to hear if it gets in the way of slipping it into a pocket.
Can you put it in your back pocket of jeans and sit on it? how strong is the protection?
general construction etc..

got mine yesterday--yes you can put into your back pocket--it does have a fold-out stand--and with the aluminum reinforcement you shouldn't worry that you'll harm the N800 by sitting on it--but I'd be more concerned about what the N800 does to *you*! (wink)

I received mine a week or so longer, and it is very strong and robust.
Positives:
Negatives:
Overall I'm quite happy with it except for the problems with it falling backwards when you have it propped up and it will slip a detent or two. Not sure how that might be fixed, but in a future version perhaps they could put a metal core that sticks out slightly further to catch the grooves better. I LOVE the builtin stand the n800 has and want something comparable in a case.

Positives:
- Screen protection and great overall device protection
- Access to all ports (except USB)
- Professional looking
- Less likely to slip out of pocket (although the silicone case wins here)
- Built-in stand
- Very tight construction
- Speakers aren't muffled like silicone case
- Full face and my bright-yellow paint job is visible in all its glory
Negatives:
- Does increase size substantially more than silicone case (no surprise)
- Getting it closed requires a little force for it to click
- The leather "kick-stand" does slip out of the grooves; tapping may knock it back
- Price (not bad really, but the silicone one from eBay is like $8.00 USD)

It needs a positive lock method of gripping the current indent. Because the whole case is leather is has a tendency to flex and try and lean forward (to close again), removing downward pressure which would help the stand maintain its position.
