As we see from the original post, it doesn't matter what case you have if you leave it at home.
Also, the offical case and some others would probably not have protected the N800 from the flying leap it took from the OPs shirt pocket.

The thing I like most about the Nokia case is I can leave it on all the time, only when accessing the internal memory slot or battery does it need to be removed.

I'm not sure how much it would protect the device in a flying leap, but at least I wouldn't have to worry about the front or back getting scratched, heheh.

I'm pretty darn careful with my things, otherwise I'd probably have opted for a hard metal case with lots of padding inside

I have to recommend the proporta alu-leather case: http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05...260&t_mode=des

I have been using it in the last months and it is very protective and practical to use.

I got this case from Waterfield and love it. It's a nice looking case and give me the protection I was looking for. Some one on this board recommended it and it was perfect.

My skin-style case, which is minimal, might have prevented your N800 slide because its rubberized surface resists sliding. Because it is minimal, I have no temptation to ever remove it. It cost me about $10 from ebay including shipping. The only drawback is the stand doesn't work with the skin on.

My advice, don't use the official case.
1. it offers no protection for the edges/sides
2. When I dropped my N800 onto concrete, the case flew off, the back flew off and I ended up with a nasty ding on the edge.

I love the Proporta case. It is a little wider than the N800 so it would protect the edges in a fall. It magnetically "snaps" shut. It has its own stand.
The down side... You can't get to the external memory slot or the USB connector while the N800 is in the case, and it is difficult to remove the stylus. The top of the case does flex backwards to aid in getting to the stylus, but it's still a pain.

With that said, I still think it's the best case for my usage.

Has anyone using proporta case tried removing kickstand completely to allow access to usb and sd slot while still in the case?

Well for 99p, it's worth a punt. Thanks for that, consider one sold
