Hi,

Does anybody knows how the screen will be protected since the nice slider is gone ?

Does somebody has a picture about this ?

Cheers, Jan

There is a soft case included, which is not very protective against hard surfaces. Other options must be used, such as 3rd party cases. I purchased one from CompUSA for $6 USD (PDA case) which is a little short but works.

I must admit.. after screen protecting my 770 for a year the screen still looks new. Seeing as I bet an n900 will be out 1.5 years from now give or take I am actually forgoing actual screen protection on my n800. Although I will keep my 2 year compusa warranty handy.

I guess they just expect you to take extra care. Don't take it outside, don't put it in a pocket, always keep it in a drawer...

I think we've reached the weekly hyperbole and sarcasm quota already.

Texrat, got a linky on that PDA case that you purchased? I'm interested in seeing it.

You're right - I promise this was the last one
(Today.)

I need a new travel charger for my Nokia phone and will buy one tomorrow. To make up for my behavior here, I'll get the Nokia branded one this time

The lack of protection is a big detractor for me. One thing about the 770, I could always smugly tell Palm owners that it came with a case; not that I had to shell out another $50 for a metal one.

If I wanted to surf from my couch I'd use a laptop. I want a portable interenet tablet to be yanked from my pocket at a moment's notice... not from some gawdy foam case reminiscent of those 'number 1' hands you see at football games.

The $6 semi-hard case was on compusa.com; don't have the exact link offhand. Browse to the one closes to the N800's size.

No need to spend $50, Hedgie... this case works great. I especially like the strap.

Yeah I'm kinda wanting to know what cases fit the N800 (w/ links if possible)
