[Drahnreb]

Hi,

Have sombody of you found such an alu-case for the N800 too?

@tolou, what want you to say?

I just agree with you fully there... :cool:

For everyone interested there is a link at boxwave to submit your interest in such a aluminum case, Armor case, at:
http://www.boxwave.com/community/request/request_model_51.htm

Just specify the "Nokia N800 Internet tablet" as device.

I know this isn't quite the same, but it's a good workaround in the meantime...

I bought a aftermarket PSP metal case from Best-buy for around $30. It required a little trimming of the foam insert. But after that, it fits nicely.

... just a thought.

Anyone used one of these?

The case you refer to, distguitar, is a silicone one - works great to make n800 less likely to slip out of pocket or off dash.

A company called PDair also seems to be selling the same aluminium case for N770... maybe we can petition them too for the N800 ;-)

Did anybody actually tried the N770 model on an N800?

I have a flex case from a hong kong vendor on Ebay... It was only 4.99 with a 10.00 shipping charge. Works good and no scratched on my N800...

I have a case for the 770, which I tried to "adapt" to the 800. The bent results are in my desk drawer.

I wouldn't recommend it. . . The dimensions are just too different for it to work.

Thanks, K.

Would you happen to have a link for this? :)

I'll look into the nokia case too as i only want to protect the screen and still be able to fit it in my pocket ;-)

In the mean time, here are some pictures of the SU-31 i found while googling...

I cant buy anything without checkin it out first. So best buy offered Nintindo DS soft nylon cases for 10 bucks and lucky my n800 fit.. I modded it a bit when i got home
it works great, enough room for extra sdhc cards and usb plug, bluetooth usb. Then again its only for traveling protection, i need something firmer to protect screen in my jacket pocket..Some kind of top latch. Would be great if future nokia's had a camera
lense type shutter for the screen im sure some senior member has posted similar revien but im to freakin lazy to read every forum, just adding my 2 cents..

I also used a dslite case for my n800 not perfect as its a bit bulky but good enuff for now
