Certainly an interesting design idea, I'm tempted to get one to use at work. Would be nice if anyone has an opion to share though, always worry about hard plastic inside edges since I stopped using my Melkco case for that reason(apparently scratches over time).
*or at the very least the 800, which MAY then be moddable.
I got a response from them:

If it weren't for some artificial constraints Nokia's deliberately/inadvertently created over the past 16mth+ it'd be doing MUCH better.
Still, outside some key 1st world markets it's doing very well, everything considered.
And it has a very loyal/rabid fan-base, despite all the odds/factors stacked against it.
You'd be mad not to take advantage of all that....

Hi,
The decision to make a case for a particular device is based on a lot of
market reseach--the poplularity of the device as well as its predicted
longevitiy are very much taken into consideration. We certainly listen
to the suggestions and desires of our customer base as well. Any time
someone requests a case for a certain device we do file it.
Thank you,
Alison

Why was the 900 prioritised over the N9?
It can't have sold as many as the N9, it may soon but there's 900 successors coming, so maybe not.
How do you make your decision, & how can we best convince you to deliver a certain case?

Hello,
I apologize. I certainly did not mean to be dismissive.
We simply do not make a case for that phone at this time, and do not have any set plans to do so.
When and if we do decide to make that case, all of the information will be on our website.
We update our website consistently and it always has the most recent information.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Thanks,
Alison
Chances still look slim to none, but it's important to note that they do factor-in the no. of emails they get requesting a case.
So even if you're not interested in this type of case, please take a minute to voice your interest!
they made it for the lumia 900 cause it had a lot of hype, they wouldnt make a case for a "dead" phone.
If that's the logic then why did they make one for the N900???
It was FAR less hyped overall than the N9, didn't roll out with carriers/resellers in MOST countries, was mainly only in retail channels worldwide.
Nokia saw it as "step 5 of 6", their experimental/learning device before their 1st mass-market & consumer-focused maemo/meego phone.*
*disclaimer: I love the N900, I have one, & I still use it regularly.
Be sure to use either silicone case or back case etc. with that one as it'll scratch up the silver camera surround, no clearance. Otherwise yes it fits perfectly(it's the mount I always use for my E7 on sat nav duties).
In other news, those White N9 owners that have been seeking a good fitting white silicone/rubber case, I've seen this one mentioned before but some were put off by the lack of charge-flap cut-out.
Just purchased(or received, postage was slow) one of these and they've revised the design now and they do indeed have the cut-out for the microUSB flap. Personally I was actually a little disppointed by this as would have preferred not to have the cut-out for mine, but there we go, I think most folk will prefer it.

I am trying to purchase this FM transmitter/charger/holder for the N9, but I cannot find any retailer that ships outside the USA (I live in France). Any idea, tip, or alternate FM Tx/charger to recommend?
Just a tip.. if you can't find a dealer that ships outside USA, try using Shop & Ship (www.shopandship.com) to deliver your stuff. It's a very good option.
