I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on these right here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/9x-Hard-Rubb...item35b585276f

Because I really wanted to try yellow, green, purple, white and red.
and I see on the bottom it does not come up over and possibly interfere when you swipe up from the bottom although that might be a negative in that the case might not stay on.
Well I'll see, just ordered it.

^ Good idea, I've registered my interest with them a mth or so ago.
But anyone else that wants a kb case, the more that let these guys know, the greater the chance.

Gaming gear: more for the future, but could be very cool if usable for the N9

What is currently the best screen protector for the N9?
I want one of the more special ones like xtreme guard.

My N9 screen has a chip and a scratch already after my friend dropped it from a coffee table.

I'm going to have to cull the threads I'm managing to just the 1st 2x in my sig.
I may not even have time for them but fingers crossed...
Later on if this thread's still going, I may consolidate it all into the OP etc.
Keep posting folks, I'm sure many folks (me inc) will be reading with interest.

Thanks.

The nokia cr-122 car holder for n8 and e7 works nicely for the N9, too. Especially with the silicone cover on (which, IMO, is excellent).

Sent from my N9 using the default browser and the excellent VKB.

Re: N9 Accessory: Batteries, Cases, Car Holders, Gaming, etc.
 
If an online store called G5 Online shows up in Google search, as it seems they have N9 cases now, don't go there. The have overwhelmingly positive reviews on Amazon (yet 100% negative on another site), and I ordered one hard plastic case and 10 lcd protectors for an N900, as well as silicon and gel cases and 10 lcd protectors for an E7. We've received nothing from them so far and it's been weeks (shipping address was also in UK). I've sent two emails, one polite and one angry, no response.

EDIT: Got a response, although it took forever. I'll update this post regarding the situation.
EDIT2: They claimed one product was out of stock and but that they've now sent the order with a replacement product which I agreed on. I'll see when it arrives, but I can't shake the feeling that they would've never posted the order had I not contacted and practically threatened them. Usually when an item is out of stock, a webstore contacts the client to inform them of the situation, rather than waiting for the client to contact them to ask why the shipment hasn't arrived when it's already been weeks.

Just received my Nokia Play 360°.. I am at work, but tested it a little bit.. first impression is that sound isn't that loud on bluetooth connection.. Connecting worked fine over NFC with C7 from co-worker.. Waiting for my N9 now:)

How does that work with the N9?

I tried to pair mine with a diNovo edge, to try it out. Pairing works an from the icon it looks like the N9 recognizes it as a keyboard. On the bluetooth page for the device it says "HID" in supported profiles. Has anyone had any success using a bluetooth KB with the N9 (or N950)?

missing my hardware keyboard from my N9, I decided to take matters into my own hand. I've bought this flipout keyboard from ebay:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/270784165...84.m1439.l2649

I am going to find a way to mod it for the N9. A lot of cutting needed perhaps

Perhaps it needed to dry first, but it was not a smooth touch (rubbery) and air bubbles/stress marks were visible everywhere even though I applied with the squeegee. it looked a mess if you angled it beneath the light a certain way and made the N9 feel like a cheap phone.

I used the protector for the metal camera frame on the back (comes with the full kit). Again, it's several millimeters too short to fit perfectly, but it should prevent scratches to the metal and it was easy to apply because it was small. the rest of the full body kit comes with pieces to apply everywhere else and I'm not even going to bother, will just use the rubber case that came with the N9.

For reference I'm coming from using a Vikuiti DQC-160 screen protector for the N900 for 2 years which required no adhesive to apply, which I prefer. I think I'm going to try out their CV8 protector since it seems like the DQC kind of protector (would like to hear opinions on it or other protectors).

EDIT: actually may go with the Vikuiti adqc27 instead.

Thanks for posting. I'm going to try the CV8.

I got another screen protector (no soaping required) on ebay but the cut is atrocious. It only covered the screen not the entire front glass. Looks and feels terrible.

I'm going to keep it on until I get this one. I hope they cut it right.

http://www.protectionfilms24.com/art...-n9-57387.html

I received the Vikuiti adqc27 and applied it. Better than the original screen I tried, but still not perfect or ideal. It's pretty much the same as the Vikuiti DQC-160 if you used that for the N900, just cut (barely) for the N9.

Pros: It's easy to apply (no adhesive, just goes straight on); it can be reused. It doesn't alter the swiping experience much, its just not as smooth as glass but that's understandable. The swipe is much better with this than the previous protector, where it was rubbery and my finger would get stuck on the rubber when swiping.

Cons: It still isn't cut perfectly. It is 2-3 millimeters short on each long side, wherre the glass is still exposed between the protector and the stock rubber case. Also, the corners and edges keep rising up due to the tapered nature of the screen. I've smoothed them out for minutes but it does no good. They don't rise high enough where I think I would catch a corner on something and accidentally peel off the protector, but it's ugly and ruins the aesthetic of the phone design.

So basically, the adqc27 is a step in the right direction but still not perfect or ideal. I think I'm just gonna go raw and just trust the gorilla glass w/ no protection. It will look and feel better that way, and hopefully I won't get burnt (note, I only have this attitude towards *phones* lol).

Unless someone else can recommend a protector that works, I think I'm through with trial and error here. :)
