thats the aluminium pdair case i have and really can't sing its praises enough, tough and durable with a good sturdy belt clip

I have stopped using the Brando aluminum case, because of the clip system that just gets jammed if you sit down with the N900 in vertical position. My leg turns the N900 screen up, while my belt keeps the clip system vertical. This is not a movement permitted by the case/clip joint, so the case just jumps from the clip system, which was supposed to keep it locked. And the lock has to be tinkered with (with a screwdriver or something else) to get back to its place.

Anybody else with this problem ? How do you deal with it ?

Which is best for the N900, when I have case?

I purchased THIS and I am satisfied with the quality

I'm planning to get myself an N900 in the next couple months and found this thread looking for case ideas (ok, so I like to shop ahead of time).

I like the idea of the Otterbox (it appears to have pretty full protection for the screen and everything else, and I like the kickstand), but it doesn't have a belt clip (as far as I can tell).

Is anyone using the Otterbox along with a horizontal case with a belt clip that is easy to pull the N900 out of when you need it (such as a call coming in...)?

Or is there something else that provides similar full protection and a kickstand that has a clip already?

Do I even need to worry about the kickstand (i.e. is it actually usable or just a pain)?


Thanks!

The kickstand comes with the N900, and the manufacturers of most hardcases (like the Otterbox) make sure you can still use it while the case is attached.
Btw: for more info about the Otterbox for the N900 + some (bad-quality) pictures see also this thread.

The Otterbox (and other plastic or aluminium hardcases) make the unit larger and therefore almost impossible to fit in most N900-specific horizontal or vertical pouches/cases that you attach to your belt. If you want to use the Otterbox + a belt-pouch, I think that your only option is a generic pouch, or a pouch for an other (larger) gadget (camera, MP3-player, Nintendo DS, etc) that somehow fits the N900.

And I never use the kickstand, although it may come in handy if you want to watch movies during a long flight.

Thanks. I looked at the aluminum one from pdair as well, but it seems you have to open the case to fully open the phone, which seems to give the Otterbox the edge for me.

I'm wondering if the Otterbox could be "modded" to add a belt clip such as the one Zcover uses in their smartphone covers (sadly they don't make one for the N900 - I have one for my old Cowon iAudio X5).

(If you can't mount it properly, perhaps some double sided tape or Krazy Glue would do the trick...)

*Edit*
I guess you need this part too (the tab/lock set on the left) - it actually connects to the device case and then the various clips attach to it:

Actually when I posted that, I hadn't yet received my Easecase. However, now I have this.

It is really solid, grips the phone fantastically well (in fact you could say too well as it's trickyish to pull out sometimes). I love it a lot, couldn't imagine a better case for the N900.

I broke down and ordered my N900, Otterbox, and Zcover tab/lock set and belt clip. I'll post piccies and such when I get it all setup somehow (hopefully next week).

I bought today a no name screen protector for 7 Euro's. Is there any noticable difference between the so much choice of protectors?
