I think Otterbox makes some of the best phone cases, and this one is no exception.
They have 2 lines: the High Impact, and the Commuter versions.

The High Impact, which I have for my Nokia 5800, is all rubber. Very high quality, but also adds a lot of mass and bulk. And since rubber is non-slip, it can be a pain to retrieve out of your pockets while in certain positions (ahem, like while driving).

So this Commuter version is a better alternative (I don't think they have a High Impact version for the N900 yet).
This version is made of high quality plastic, which a thin inner rubber lining on the bottom side (opposite of the screen side), to protect the phone from short falls and small knocks.
It fits into the phone very nicely and securely - very little creaks and give from loose spaces.
In fact, you will find it very hard to pop it out when you have to replace a SIM card or battery (but there is a trick to get it to open easily, which is hard to describe, so you'll have to find it on your own).
It doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and ultimately, gives you a great peace of mind, which is what it's all about.

The only small negative about it (like any other case for phones with big screens), is that there is no way it can protect the screen side from falls onto bumpy or angled surfaces.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big and protective

Let's start with the 'cons':

CONS:
Makes a big phone bigger.
Headphone opening may not be big enough for you.
Top half of case impinges a little on top row of keyboard.
Very hard to pry off the back. Makes it hard to access SIM, battery and SD card.
'Lock' switch hard to reach with case on.
Screen protector covers front camera, cutting down light and blurring image a little.

PROS:
Good protection from drops and scrapes.
Screen protector works well. Perhaps it's improved over earlier versions. 'Installation card' is actually a little squeegee for smoothing out bubbles, etc. It works well.
Stays firmly attached to phone.
MicroUSB and speaker openings work fine. Button protectors protect without interfering with function.
Camera lens ully accessible.
'Kick stand' works as well as without case, but that's not a huge 'plus'.
Since you can set the power switch to lock on double click, the lock switch isn't rewally critical . . .

Case is hard outside with soft rubber inside and port covers. Surface is smooth, but not quite same texture as phone. As noted in 'Cons', not all audio/video cables will fit in the headphone port with case on.

It is easier to just puzzle out how to apply the screen protector than to try to follow he pictogram instructions - don't fear, you'll figure it out. Included card/squeegee is helpful with bubbles.

If you swap SD cards a lot, the back will be a big hassle for you.

I bought this case along with a brand new n900.
I have to say that this is one of the best protection cases i have seen for cellphones/smartphones.

It has a sturdy and strong outer case (hard plastic) with a soft rubber interior. All conectors are aviable but also covered by the soft rubber, preventing water or dust from getting inside.
Its not that expensive considering the price of the item im trying to protect, at all.
It does comes with 2 screen protection films with an easy to aply tool also.
The only con i have found is that it makes the n900 a lot thicker, but again.. the idea is to PROTECT the n900, not make it cooler.

So:
Pros:
-great protection, thick and sturdy
-soft rubber interior for small bumps
-2 screen protection films (i have proven that they work as they should)
-not expensive
Cons:
-not a con, but the size increment.. its something you will notice on your pocket.

So, if you want to protecto your n900, get this case.
If you want a "cool" smartphone, dont get any case and swap phones when you get it broken or scratched.

Anybody want to buy a slightly used Otterbox for an n900? I suppose it might protect my phone if it were on the phone but, as putting my phone in it renders the phone practically useless, I doubt that I'll actually keep the phone in it. It's ugly, bulky and quite disappointing. The cheaper "hard case" I had broke within a few weeks but, at least I could use the phone with it. I'll try using the bottom half of this case for a while--it's the thick ring around the top bezel that makes the side controls inaccessible and the keyboard un-usable.

This is like an armored tank for your N900. Solid shell outside, with a layer of rubber on the inside. It has cutouts for all the important bits, or (in the case of the top buttons) a rubber cover part that is raised to emulate the buttons. You can press them right through the rubber with ease. Even the camera button is quite usable with mid-press for focus.

There are only two things that I find semi-problematic. One is the micro USB cover flap. Where that removable, or more prone to staying bent I would prefer that. But it's kind of nice to have it covered when out and about as well. The other is the fact that the shell is VERY difficult to remove once it snaps on. That's great if you have a stable system, but if you remove the back cover often to replace the memory card, or the sim, or the battery, this is not the case you want.

For what I wanted it for, it's perfect. It's a solid bit of armor, with great water resistant covers, and a great look and feel. If you can live with the two caveats above, this is the case for you!

Comes with screen protector, back case with silicon lining, and front clip on frame.
This is an excellent protective case for the N900 and I love the silicon covers that cover the ports and control buttons.

Pros:
-Easy to fit
-Offers good protection (I haven't dropped it to test but it does look quite tough and there's a silicon lining inside the plastic case)
-Looks good (I think it makes the N900 look better!)

Cons:
-Adds a bit of bulk to your N900
-If you normally attach a wrist strap to your N900 then this won't work for you as the hole for the wrist strap is covered by the otterbox case.

Nach drei Tagen Gebrauch war ich an sich etwas gemischter Meinung über die Otterbox, denn für den Preis hätten die Vorteile die Nachteile eindeutiger ausstechen müssen:

++ Die Verarbeitung und das Material sind sehr gut. Die Schalen passen und sind leicht anzubringen. Sie wieder zu entfernen ist schwieriger, aber dadurch ist man zumindest sicher, daß sie nicht unbeabsichtigt abgehen.

+ Das Format der Box ist so kompakt wie es eben möglich ist. Zwar wirkt das Gerät etwas klobiger als es ohnehin schon ist, aber kleiner wird es wohl nicht gehen.

- Der erhöhte Rand um das Display ist hinderlich, vor allem beim telefonieren, und m.E. unnötig.

+ Die Gummischützer für USB- und Klinkenbuchse sind eine gute Idee.

+/- Fast alle Anschlüsse und Schalter sind gut erreichbar, bis auf den Sperrschalter - da hätte die Ausbuchtung etwas größer sein können - und den Stift. Den herauszuziehen ist jetzt ziemliche Fummelei. Zudem reagiert der Ein/Aus-Schalter durch den Gummiaufsatz etwas träger.

+/- Die Schutzfolie ist fummelig in der Anbringung, aber das liegt wohl in der Natur der Sache. Sie mag zwar das Display schützen, ist aber viel anfälliger für Schmutz und Fingerabdrücke. Mit der Folie sieht main N900 bereits nach kurzem Gebrauch etwas schmuddelig aus.

Soweit mehr Licht als Schatten.

Aber dann ist mir eben mein N900 aus 1,50m auf einen Betonboden geknallt! Außer einem kleinen Kratzer auf der Otterbox sind N900 und Box völlig unversehrt!

Also: volle Punktzahl für die Sicherheit.

Ich kann nur positives über diesen Kauf sagen. Die Box scheint an sich klobig, jedoch schützt es das N900 optimal. Das scheint bei der Firma Otterbox üblich zu sein. Ein Freund hat die Otterbox für sein IPhone und er erzählt mir das gleiche. Zu dem wurde der Artikel sehr schnell verschickt und die Montage ist auch relativ einfach.
Bravo für dieses gute Produkt

Had my last leather case for about 14 months.
got this one as I had my last phone replace dunder warranty.
Have to say it improves the feel and touch of the phone. I like the fact that everything is accessible as though no cover. Have not dropped the phone too much just yet but it feels sturdy and capable of some big impacts.

Most people have commented on the style of this and when I upgrade next year ( waiting for Galaxy S3 or windows nokia ) will definitely source this make.
