This is my review that dx did not publish (yet?)
In short? Don't bother.
This is my review that dx did not publish (yet?)
The case has different material in the front and back, the front is glossy and almost transparent while the back is more opaque and it is matte. The holes in the back are about two mm off center. The big one is just a little ugly but the hole for the flash covers about one third of the flash which is unacceptable. The seam is not of very good quality and doesn't feel very nice to the touch.
The front part is thicker than the original Nokia one, but it doesn't interfere too much with swipe. The top part is completely open and makes inserting and removing the phone easy. Also the comparison with the original one that comes with the device is unavoidable and the original wins in every aspect.
The N9 is a beautiful phone and there are many features missing to make those stunning looks possible. Don't spoil it with this case.

1) Bluetooth
2) Sound-cancelling technology
Haven't had much luck finding some...
Oh and I agree with your NFC point... NFC pairing in general sounds useless to me... only saves you tops 10 seconds... But whatever, if my N9 has it and the Essence has it, I won't complain about it, lol.

I would love to find out about the essence also, one thing is it just me or does is it kinda of a waste to have nfc pairing on headsets? I mean I can understand the speakers, but its not like u constantly pair and unpair headsets that you need to have nfc enabled to make it less of a chore.

Anyhow, I have just buy this : Nokia BH-214
I used it in white version for years, and it was dead last week ...
Now it's time to get it in black to sweet my futur N9 and continue to serve my N900

<...>so I really don't mind the wires. <...>I dont really wana be deaf at that point in time. lol
And even when I do change albums and such, my hands somehow managed to find itself struggled in the wired or obstructed by it, lol. So bluetooth all the way

The official cover that comes in the box from Nokia doesnt have the slightly off hole... I don't think a chinese company would know something Nokia didnt think about...or would they? lol
