I think the Waterfield Nintendo DS Lite Case (SFbags) is perfect. For $39, I got the "Black Pattern Nintendo DS Case" which provides adequate protection when I'm carrying it on the DC Metro. To be honest, I think it's a better case than Nokia's included case or "official case."

It's an almost perfect fit (with enough leeway for the earphone plug) and bloomingly cheap.
I did change one thing: I removed the velcro and replaced it with a magnetic clip. Just 'cuz I don't like velcro.

Hello new to the Nokia n800 (actually planning to buy it within the next 2 weeks). I have been checking around for some cases and since the dimensions are so close to the ds i am going to give this case a try from waterfield designs http://www.sfbags.com/products/ninte...nintendods.htm I have ordered cases from them before for my laptop and they are of very good quality. Im interested to see if anyone else has tried this ds case from Waterfield.

That way those of us interested only in the official case can ignore it! 
I thought the title of this thread was pretty clear...

SteinyD, Thanks for the photos. I have a question for you or anyone who has this case.
Does the flap get in the way while using the tablet? Does the flap bend
back and lay flat against the back? Thanks!

After much research, I've decided to get the official Nokia case/flap for my N800. I know it doesn't protect the edges of the N800, but this is probably the best case that I can get for what I want it primarily for:
1. Slim profile
2. Able to use the stand easily
3. Doesn't obstruct the usage of any ports or buttons
4. Protect the screen
I'm not fond of the idea of having to glue a piece of metal strip on the back of the unit, but this is the best choice based on what I've mentioned.
I just ordered mine from buy.com for $21+tax. It's listed for $31, minus $10 for google check out, free shipping, + tax. Not bad at all.

Finally available for purchase from Expansys UK - it says 10 in stock but should be 9 now, as I've just bought one.
$21+tax? Flipping heck... it's £25.95 ($52) in rip off Britain.

My official case arrived today... it's pretty good! Fits well, nice quality, padded, and it has magnets at the front so that it snaps down over the screen and doesn't flap about, I'm liking it an awful lot (even though it is damned expensive over here!) I'd definitely recommend this, particularly if you can pick it up for $21+tax.
I also bought a Nokia CA-100 USB charger adaptor - works fine with the N800, I'm charging it now from a computer which only has an old USB1.1 socket (it's my Linux PC which is based on a dual processor Slot-1 server class motherboard - a bit long in the tooth...!)
