After looking at the dimensions for the Nintendo DS lite, I realized that they are nearly idendicle to the N810.
How close?
133mm x 73.9mm x 21.5mm (Nintendo DS)
128mm x 72.0mm x 14.0mm (Nokia N810)
That's half a centimeter difference in length and about the same in thickness.
As my brain spun around (for about 10 mins.... or maybe an hour) I concluded that perhaps the N810 *just might* fit into the DS lite case. A quick search led me here: Best Buy Nintendo DS lite case (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10075116&catid=22041#)
For only $20 CDN (~ $19 US) this case *should* quite snuggly store accessories (eg. bluetooth headset, extra mini-SD cards, headphones, etc) for the N810 and the N810 itself, protecting it from the daily scrapes that come with transport. For a tighter fix, extra foam and glue will keep the jostling to a bare minimum, though I doubt this would be necessary.
I don't know of too many N8xx cases, but this seems like a fantastic hard case solution, for a too-good-to-be-true price. It's equipped with a sliding lock, hard aluminum exterior, robust nylon strap, foam padding, and net storage compartments inside.
It's up there on my must-buy list, unless someone can point out a flaw or show me a better solution! If you think this will work, or if verifiable by one cognizant of all things N810, I'll add it to the N810 Links page.
Thanks for letting me share.

YARR!!
