The case for a case...
 

I wanted to share my story with you.

This morning, I went out to grab some carry out from a local restaurant for the family. Knowing there are several hotspots nearby, I grabbed my n800 on the way out the door.

I glanced at the feltish cover. I looked at the PSP case I bought. I said "eh, I'll be ok". , and dropped my n800 into the pocket of my sweater.

As I climbed out of the car, MY N800 WENT FLYING!!! I took a breath, looked down and say my n800 lying there face up, and the faceplate 6 inches away and buttons a foot and a half away!

It all went back together easy enough, and I only suffered a couple of minor scratches on the bottom corners of the unit. She works fine (as good as new), and I even used it while waiting for my food.

I guess the moral of the story is "USE PROTECTION KIDS!"

Things are never really yours until you drop them at least once anyway. Glad I survived. Learn from my mistake.

This one is a lifesaver for me.. It is perfect because I can have the headset with wire under my sweater down to the N800 so I could listen to radio/mp3 all day at work :)

Ebay.co.uk for GBP 1.49

I'm still looking for a working case, my GP2x case fits the N800 but is very bulky; I think I may have to splash out and buy a boxwave (if I can find a EU reseller) or the official cover from Nokia Ireland because the stupid "sock" is really pissing me off.

I picked up a PSP case on geeks.com for about $5. Works like a charm. when I use it :)

I looked and searched for GBP but I cant find that case. Who Makes it?

Re: The case for a case...
 

GBP is Great Britain Pounds, a currency rather than a brand.

Re: The case for a case...
 

In another thread I posted about the Case Logic GPS1 which nicely fits the N800 and offers good protection (it's meant for GPS navigators).

Re: The case for a case...
 

Case Logic's Hard Drive case works really well too. I was just too cheap to drop the $20. I added this one to another Geeks.com order last minute.

I ordered this case . I'm awaiting delivery sometime next week.

I'm very happy with the Nokia case (the leather one that uses magnets to hold the front and back on), it's nice and sleek and can be left on at all times.

I just wish there was a window for the LED, or LEDS on the side of the N800 so I could quickly see if I've missed a call/got a message/etc.

Got it for $30 from buy.com, a bit more than I wanted to spend, but I couldn't find anything better for my liking.
