I purchased a used N900 on CL a few weeks ago and fell in love with the phone. However, it had a scratch on the screen and there was wear and tear on the body. If it were just an Iclone, I would have kept it but this was a N900. So I sold the old phone and bought a new N900 from Amazon.
While I was waiting for the phone, I knew I had to get a case for it. I read the reviews and complaints and settled for the Otterbox. I have not been disappointed. This case is exactly what a phone case should do. It protects the phone. I wasn't wild about the protective covering. No real complaints but you have to be a zen master to get it on without prints or bubbles. I ordered the Zagg Shield screen protector and I'm good to go.
First of all, it DOES NOT make the phone bulky. Yes, it increases the size of the phone but the N900 in the Otterbox is still as small as a pack of cigarettes and thinner as well. There's no need to run out and practice PX90 for 6 months to use this phone. Come on, it's a cell phone. Watch mid 90s movies when people are making calls on their portable phones, now that's BULKY.
The case is durable and well made. Access to some things is a little tricky but that's because of the N900 design. For example, the stylus is designed to be flush with the body so it's trickier to get at with a case. But it's not difficult. All of the openings are easily accessible and it uses a rubberized coating for the side opposite the screen so the case doesn't scratch the phone. All in all, a good product.
