Hi All. I'm new here. Got my n800 for xmas. I also received a moleskin notebook. While the n800 and the notebook were sitting next to each other on the table, I saw that they were roughly the same size, and decided to experiment.

I'm happy with the result (especially the fact that it took less than 10 minutes). I simply removed the pages of the notebook leaving the binding. The binding is just large enough to permit a bend to accommodate the portion of the n800 that houses the stylus. I affixed (using a rubberband) a small piece of foam padding to the inside spine of the binding, to make a snug fit. The moleskin's original elastic band keeps the n800 from falling out the side, and one more rubberband keeps it from falling out of the bottom.

Here are some pics:









Now if only I weren't also having this problem...

That is a really cool little solution. It is too bad you had to sacrifice a brand new moleskine. Thanks for sharing the idea. It is a lot classier looking that most commercial products.

Cheers,
James

I've seen the bug you list. When it happens to me, I put in another battery.

Suggest you may wish to use some Velcro on the back of the case to eliminate the extra ruibber band.

Velcro Ultra Mate is excellent for this purpose.

Velcro can also be used on the car dash creating a dash mount if you use a GPS with your N800.
