are there any purpose designed latch points on the n900 frame, i.e. so slimline protective cases can grip onto each side of the n900 without inhibiting the slider mechanism?
i ask because i want an otterbox style protective case that won't stop me using the keyboard, possibly like this device:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GreyMobiles-...7438965&sr=1-7
but i have no idea how it is fastened to the n900 securely enough that it won't just fall off................. unless nokia left some 'latch' points that screen protectors can just 'click' into.
any ideas?

this is a very nice case but why is it only on the amazon UK site? and is it an actual case or a concept or something because the pictures look a bit sketchy ... but if it is real its allows you to use the keyboard which is awesome.

I think Noreve makes some good cases. Their N97 case looks nice and is reviewed here

Based on this I would expect the N900 case to be similarly well made.

Orderd myself a 3M DQC-160. Should be the best screen protector out there.

Anyway, the one I had was cheap from ebay (maybe relevant), very poor quality, rubbed against the keypad slightly when sliding, and broke after about 2 months. Hope this helps

Well, there's the official Nokia's slipcase the CP-321. It seems quite good, I'll buy and pair it with a screen protector.
