Looks good - shame there's no camera hole.

Received my Mofi case the other day, for just over £8 I can't complain. Padding is quite good, the zippers are quality, theres no dodgy stitching any where. Colour is a bit of a personal preference but I like the green and the laser etched androids are quality also.
Sorry just a rubbish phone picture for now, will probably use DSLR when N7 comes.

Just can't wait to get the N7 to put in it!

Oh cheers for that. Looks just like what I need. Is it just plain padding inside?

NP, actually I should be more descriptive. The outer covering is a felt material, should be nice for cuddling my N7 at night when it finally arrives! The inside is a soft cream material kind of moleskin style with padding at about 5mm thick, should keep my N7 cosy! The zipper chain is plastic and the gliders (there's two of them!) are metal with chrome finish, should keep my N7 nice and secure! I ordered the NATPC M009S version so will have to wiat for the N7 to arrive to advise if the size is suitable or not.
Any of the blackberry playbook cases should fit the N7 nicely. There's load of different styles from leather envelopes to neoprenes slip cases.
I have this one for my tab7.7:
It is extremely high quality with an rrp of £25 - though you can find it for £9 due to the drop in playbook prices.

And if it's in a blackberry case it's unlikely anyone will try to steal it

Does anyone know what the quality of the camera is like?
I am working on an interesting hci project and would need 30fps with a decent quality picture but I don't know what 1.2MP equates to.

Reviews so far suggest the camera is pants. It's quite low quality and people appear to 'shimmer' in video calls. To be fair it's only 1.2MP, which camera phones had years ago.
P.S. Rumour mill over on XDA suggests that they're being dispatched today. No idea if that's baseless rumour or fact.

Do DSLR's provide decent quality in Skype?

Erm, that would completely defeat the point. HCI = human computer interaction.

I wasn't expect fabulous quality....have you seen any example footage?
I should rephraze, I know what 1.2MP is but different cameras provide different quality and there is no way of knowing whether it is actually a 1.2MP sensor or it is interpolated.

Actually panic over, I read that in the Ars review, but they've since updated it to say the problems I described are in the Skype app, not the camera. Check out the review for a bit more detail:

Whats the chances of decent quality video chat?
