Friday noon I received the case. 72 hours to arrive to France since I ordered it. My first impresions are good. It fits very well the N900 but not perfectly: the screen part moves slightly but it doesn't fall. It seems to be quite strong although I haven't actualy tried it. :) It's not water-proof and it's not suposed to be, but it includes silicone covers for the ports. However, the speakers are not covered (how could they?) so rain can still get in the device. I wonder if the covers are strong enough to not fall appart after some time. The case includes buttons that press the actual buttons on the device. They work very well. For the pencil and lock switch it has holes not easily accessibles, but as mentioned, they are usable. So far so good. Alejandro _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
