[maemo-users] Protective case for N900

[From: Erik Hovland]

> Has anybody bought one of these cases?

Yes, I have one for my N900.

> They look wonderful on the website, but are they really effective?

Yes.

> Are buttons (i.e. volume, photo, power buttons, etc) still usable?

I was also concerned before I bought it. But yes, they still work.

> Is the N900 still usable once wearing one of these?
> What about the size? Does it increase too much?

It is already a thick phone. The case makes it thicker. It is a
drawback when compared
to the very thin Android and iPhone phones. But I do not see it as a problem.

> want to wait until it breaks...

Exact reason why I got a case. I am pretty satisfied w/ the otter box.
