I've got a PDair Book Type case http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product...ducts_id=26893.

I'm very happy with it. There are some very minor issues like a tiny clasp that's supposed to keep the device in place slightly protruing from the back and pushing it out, or the magnetic clasp not closing as easily as I'd want, or the keyboard cover increasing my typos rate slightly.

However they're minor enough for me to be happy wih the peace of mind it gives, and the n900 is a slippery little thing. Not to mention that after a month of having it in the case 24/7 I took it out and it looked and felt smaller!

Have you received it yet? Any thoughts?

Yes it came a couple of days ago. It is well made, actually it is very well made and the neoprene lining makes for a snug fit and protects the N900 well. However it does make the device a little bulkier, I already use the PDair vertical leather pouch which I like a lot and I think I will continue to use that.

But I have just modded the ally case to use as a car mount I'll give it a go this week. I drive 200 miles round trip daily to and from work and listen to audio books, music and podcasts using the FM transmitter, so I should be able to give my new contraption a decent enough workout LOL.

I will let you know how it goes.

Nice. Very interested in how you made the car mount.

Have you noticed any degradation in reception, be it 2G/3G, wifi, GPS, FM, etc? If not, I may just go for this.

Also, if you happen to have a scale, could you weigh the N900 with the case? While I don't mind the bulk, I run with my N900 so I'm curious how much weight is added.

@ torsen: How long did it take you to receive the case, and where are you located? I ordered mine on Feb 21 and it's still not here. Do you use a screen protector with this case? That IS interesting the contraption you concocted. What is the mount from?

Can you tell me what other parts you used to make the holder?

I'm interested in the Aluminium case, but it looks like you have to open the case to use the keyboard. It would be far better for it to just clip onto the screen and slide up with it, wouldn't it? Am I seeing the pics wrong?

I've got a PDAir leather book case at the moment, and it's been a great case for the last 5 months or so, but now the plastic keyboard strip has snapped / torn, so the phone isn't so snug in there any more.

Yeah alu pdair no good, best around ATM IMO is the otterbox commuter series.
Compact/rugged exterior, soft interior to prevent scratching and provide further absorption, all inputs/outputs have plugs to prevent dust/muck build-up (cept stylus and speakers of course), keyb can be easily slid open whilst case is still on etc.

Otterbox without a doubt.

Tried a couple of the silicone covered hard cases, they were okay, but the otterbox is superb.

Yep thats what I've got. Its not stunningly pleasing to the eye, but ultimately it might just prevent serious damage.

Scratches I am not worried about, (dont wanna be too precious about it) and pulling it in and out of a leather pouch isnt a good idea as I would probably drop it in the rush to answer a call!
