I think you will find that it is a nice case. It fits the N900 perfectly. I think it is just too easy to drop these devices. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people drop their mp3 players at the gym. The rubber lining inside the hard plastic shell I believe will help absorb some of the energy. You can remove the bottom case when necessary although it takes a little effort and practice. You start at the lower left corner (near the micro usb port). It's a little more flexible at that corner. I looked on-line at every case available for the N900 (including the Nokia one - although it is not available in the US). I'd be interested in your observations once you install the the Otterbox.
