I've read tons of reviews and followed these forums, as you guys know, and I feel like I'm the only one completely embarassed to pull this pouch out in public. I mean, the design is miles ahead of the useless thing the N800 came with, but who in their right mind chose the colors?

I mean, seriously, grey and teal?! WTF? Am I the only one who thinks this thing is ugly as sin?

no ... you are not alone

I don't sweat it. So far no one has run screaming when I pulled it out...

Would you prefer pink?

i got my N810 second hand and the original owner actually lost the case... i didn't mind one bit.

i think i'm going to pick up one of those generic-looking cases for the PSP or Nintendo DS, but i'm having trouble finding one that's not branded as such.

The snazzy Case Logic cases I bought for our N800s should work even better on the N810-- and they were $5 at the time. Google, man, google!

EDIT: never mind Ricky, ya lazy bum-- I googled for ya. It's a PLTK-10 BLACK and I found them for $10 at one source.

These suckers have a hook-and-loop at the top as well as a snapping belt loop inside. The PERFECT N810 case!

EDIT 2: oh, and grey and blue are 2 official Nokia corporate colors, although the blue shade on the slip cover is off...

The pouch makes my N810 just too long to fit into my shirt pocket.
I'm waiting for one of the Hong Kong book-type.
In the meantime, I'm just being careful.

I wouldn't use the pouch, anyway.
I need one handed use.

Thanks for the links, I may take it up to Best Buy in a bit to see if I can't find something there. All I need is a simple pouch, so I don't know if one of the custom cases would really work.

On a side note, I realize the Nokia colors are grey and blue, but this isn't blue. it's teal. Why not the same material that the N800 case was made from, only keeping with the new design? Wny hot a black case?

No idea. [dilbert mode]I blame Marketing[/dilbert mode]

You could also just relax and go pouchless.
