I used to use the case that came with the n810 and I'd put it in my back pocket. Now it rides in my Jornada case on my belt. Not only is it better there, it's in a much tougher case too.

Hi All,
So, back to the topic, how are you carrying around your N810?
This seems like a pretty good option: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfuupckWEbU
(I prefer it without those 'vent holes though', so it looks like this: http://www.sfbags.com/products/ninte...scase-6-lg.JPG )
A lot of great looking cases/bags here: http://www.sfbags.com/products.htm
Hmm..maybe a pouch.. http://www.sfbags.com/products/ipodp...ch-taxi-lg.jpg
I'm contemplating getting; a more robust case that can be clipped to the belt and a screen protector (which I would had gone shopping for this weekend..but now the GF is set on us going to Carmel and Monterey because 'it is so nice'). I mentioned we're going to spend three nights in Tahoe next week over 4th of July but apparently one can not get enough of the outdoors. Pfft!
Attached, mean photo of her, now on my N810 permanently
I do love her though

One thing to be aware of: you can get dirt-cheap data (at 19.2 kbps, alas) by going with a Motorola iDEN phone (for Nextel), and using a Boost pre-paid SIM.
The data usage (always-on 19.2 kbps) is free, but the SIM must be topped off with at least $20 every 90 days to keep it alive, even if you use no voice minutes.

I toyed with the boost idea for quite a while, but finally went with T-mobile, with their cheapest voice plan ($30/mo, IIRC) + T-zones ($5.99/mo, but I think it's gone up since then for new customers), which gives all-you-can-eat EDGE data. 3G is supposed to be rolling out here sometime 3Q, and I believe I'm going to have to move up to a $20 data plan for that (and maybe 5GB cap, as well...). OTOH, the N900 should be out then, so I'll have to re-evaluate all their plans at that point anyway.
