N800 and screen protection
 

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. :p

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 :D

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)
