Clear Coat is the best i reckon. I have it on my fone for 2 months now, you wouldnt notice its on the fone. Select between Screen protector or full body protection, and also " Life Time Warranty" ...

It actually varies, there are quite decent low-cost protectors out there - but there are also many bad ones in the lower pricerange. If it fits the device good, can be removed easily, has a decent texture and doesn't scratch too easily, then you most likely got a good one.

hello. I'm using that cover for some months. It lasts not so long as expected. The first thing to break are the cover supports.

Ok, so I got my stuff.
I added the Zcover clip to the Otterbox.
There are a few parts to the clip set.

There is a back tab that goes inside the case of the device (shown here the one from my old Zcover case for my iAudio X5):

I installed this by drilling 2 holes in the appropriate places in the Otterbox out case. I installed it between the outer case and silicon inner case.

Next there is the clip that goes on the outside of the case and locks onto the tab:

This is the universal connector used to connect to various Zcover clips. This fits just right with the tab installed between the 2 layers of the Otterbox.

Next is the quick release belt clip:

The connector clip slides and locks into this, and can rotate once locked in. There is a button on the belt clip to release the latch so the device can be pulled out. Mine is a bit tough to unlock/lock at times, but I suspect it will loosen up a bit with time.

All together:


The installation of the clip seems to have minimal interference with the Otterbox installation. You'll notice I have a decoration on my N900, I pulled the cord to the side and have it feeding out the edge of the USB cover, which doesn't seem to have interfered.
I did notice that 2 of the clips of the Otterbox on the bottom of the keyboard don't seem to have gone up quite as far as they should (I assume they are supposed to click over the edge of the keyboard like the corner clips). I assume this is from the slight difference in overall height due to the zcover tab behind the phone. However the Otterbox is still very secure and tough to remove.

Overall thoughts:
It was fairly easy to mod the Otterbox to install the Zcover clip.
The clip does not seem to have affected the installation of the Otterbox in a significant way.

Benefits:
You get a quick release belt clip along with your Otterbox (or whatever other Zcover clip/holder you want to use).
You get a loop on top of the clip on the phone that you could attack something to.

Drawbacks:
You can't lay your N900 flat with the clip.
You can't stand your N900 straight on the kickstand with the clip because it changes the balance and causes the N900 to lean a bit to the right.
The clip adds a bit more bulk to the N900 (and to your belt, but any belt holder would do that).
The extra depth from the tab in the case prevents a "perfect" installation of the Otterbox on the phone, but this does not seem to affect the stability of the install.

Other:
I tried a couple times to get the Otterbox screen protector on and then gave up on it.
I think my room is just too dusty to get something sticky like that in place and properly sealed.
I guess I'll have to look for other screen protectors that might be easier to install, and try to install in a cleaner environment.

Tomorrow I'll be out and around a bit, so I'll see how the phone feels attached to my belt.

Another note: The phone in the belt clip stands up nicely.

I recently tried the Clarivue Anti-Glare screen protector to see how different it is from the Ultra-Clear finish.

And it's very different. In comparison, the Anti-Glare is thinner, less clingy, and a bit easier to install. It enables much more touch-screen sensitivity. It offers a dull / matt finish which provides hardly any stylus resistance. That said I put a fairly long and deep stylus scratch in it within a few hours of use.

The matt finish reduced screen visibility enough to be noticable. It looks like a significant drop in resolution. I had it under incandescent light, fluorescent light, and direct sunlight. The "anti-glare" gains were minimal at best - especially outdoors where it performed particularly badly under direct sun.

Overall I didn't like the Anti-Glare protector very much, and find the Ultra-Clear protector far superior. It too scratches fairly easily, but the clarity is fantastic, and I like the amount of stylus resistance that it offers.

It appears that Clarive is cutting the N900 protectors a little bit smaller which makes them somewhat less tedious to install. Trick is to give the screen a blast of compressed air immediately before lining up the Nokia logo first.

Here's a few pictures of the N900 in the belt clip standing on my desk:




I usually leave it in the clip and stand it on my desk when I am sitting at my desk at work, and then clip it on to my belt when I am leaving my office.

The full sized pictures are in the gallery as before.

i have ordered a pouch case + screen protector from the famous site:
www.pdair.com
will get them 1 week time...

I just got a leather Pdair case with a belt clip. I'm happy with it so far. I use it while jogging and everywhere else too. My only fear is that it will wear out fast. If so, Otter case here I come.

I'm still on my own epic search for the right case. I put an as-yet-unanswered post at the end of this thread here (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=47647&page=2), but maybe I should have done that on this, the mammoth n900 case thread. basically, has anyone found a good, *non-"flappy"* silicon or rubber case--not hard plastic--that helps absorbs the impact of "normal" drop??? if so, could you provide a link, ebay seller name, or the like? thank you!
