When I uses my N800 I don't want anything around it. So I need a case to just transport it and protect it when I'm not using it. Turns out they are the exact same size as a PSP. You can go to Circuit City and search PSP cases and you'll get a whole page of them. I bought this,

It great in that you can either just throw the N800 in and close it or open a flap and set it into the case with 2 cloth elastic straps to hold it in. Close the case and it doesn't move at all in the case if you shake it. Open it and you can immediately go right to it while it's strapped in. No function buttons though. You can store the stylus and memory cards in the pockets. It has a belt strap and a cariibeaner clip to connect right to a belt loop. If you go to the store you can try it out, as it is in an open container.
All this for $12 !

Hi,

I agree, PSP cases are a nearly perfect fit. I bought a 12 in 1 kit of case and accessories for PSP, made by Power Wave.

It has a nice hard clam-shell type zip case almost identical to the one you mention. It also has a useful shoulder bag that takes the zip case, and has space for headphones, power cables etc.

The kit also has a nice cable which is large USB to small USB plus a power connector. The power connector is wrong for the N800, but an after market Nokia phone cable supplied a donor N800 plug, so I grafted it onto the cable, which gives me battery charging and computer connection in one cable - very neat. The kit also has a car cigar lighter plug with USB out - use the modified cable and you have car based charging also.

With all those things in the little kit bag, I have every possible charge opportunity covered, plus I carry a few spare screen protectors and the spare stylus - neat!

Cheers, Colin

I just bought that same one last weekend! Those elastic straps are the perfect distance apart for the screen of the n800. Did you know that the part in the top (with the pockets) has Velcro in the back and is removable? I had it for like three days before I figured that out.

UR right. I like how you can either throw it in and zip it up. no looseness, it holds it perfectly, or put it behind the straps for an easy open the case and go right to it with the stylus.

I went to Best Buys, Target and Circuit City today to try to find the Intec DSL Aluminum Safe Case as mentioned in another post. I made a template of the Nokia N800 to be sure it would fit. The Intec case seemed to be too small. But then I came across a Pelican PSP Travel case.

I feel ike the N800 will travel well in it. I also like the straps that hold it in place, but I can't reach the buttons on the top of the unit easily.

I've included some pictures so you can see what it really looks like.



Hope this helps.

I've been using that case for a month now and find that it is perfect for protecting and transporting my N800. Once again, only $12 !
BTW, incredibly great job on the photos!

Thanks for the pic comment. You're right about the size being just right. Fits perfectly in my car's middle console. If I were truly traveling (like on a trip) I might want something a bit bigger to hold the plug in power adapter too. But for day to day it's fantastic. The N800 is something I'm rarely without when I'm out.

Thank you for a great suggestion.

I had one of these... I think I gave it away. I dont know about it being a Hard case but it really is a good fit. I might just pick up another one.

I've been using a Logitech Playgear case that I cut and Filled with "RTV" to make it fit right. The problem is now is I'm in Iraq and there is a lot of friggin Dust. Maybe I'll pic up another one of these...
