Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Clever, interesting idea, but shocking lack of attention to detail.
Good: Protective of the screen, doesn't bulk it up much so it still fits in my pocket, better than the slip that comes with the N800, comes with a nifty cleaning cloth and magnet bars with adhesive backs
Bad: Need to glue a metal bar to the back of the battery cover to attach the case. I worry about warranty service, and the possibility of using other cases
Ugly: No protection for the buttons.
If you're at all aware about the N800 and its shortcomings, you'd know that it doesn't go into power-save mode if the buttons are pressed within a minute of "locking" the screen and buttons. A really good case would have solid cut-outs to keep the buttons from being mashed. I thought, this being an official accessory from Nokia, it surely would have that, but it doesn't. It's just flat across the entire face.
I've noticed that mine is starting to develop dents in the felt material from the buttons rubbing against it. This is definitely impacting the battery life negatively.
At current market rates, compared with third-party cases and amid falling N800 prices, I don't think this one is a good value.

This is more a cover than a case. It will do a good job of protecting the screen from scratches, but not the unit from drops. A clever magnetic design holds case onto N800 and the cover closed over the screen. Comes with two magnets for mounting on a dashboard, desk, etc.
Great magnetic case that allows the kickstand to extend while on. I can't stand the cheapy pouch that my n800 came with so very glad that we are able to purchase the OEM Nokia case in the US now. Thank you!
This protects the screen well, but it is not a carrying case. This adds some weight and bulk to the N800. It looks nice and is well constructed. I would purchase it again.
This case fits well on my N800, but I would say this could be designed well because the way it fits to my device, I feel it would fall of or sleep from case. Quality is good and strong magnet hold the device but still I feel unsecured. If would have to redesigned it again I would surly add some hooks or button to hold tight the device and must put a kick back sand on back side.
