It opens the 'Options' menu... same as pressing the left softkey to do so.

PS: I don't know why but to me your N95 looks like a ninja in that case!

LOL! Sp00k the Ninja, eh? <g>

Several reasons for the case...

1. I fitted a black facia and liked it but the paint peeled off so I replaced it with the original bright, shiny facia... which I don't like! So it masks that quite nicely.

2. It obviously affords a degree of protection.

3. It both helps to protect and covers most of the glaringly-obvious silver camera-surround.

4. With the case fitted, it actually fits in my cheapo desk-stand charger a lot better.

5. It's less likely to slide off from wherever I place it, including the keyboard stand... which as you saw from the pics, it sits on pretty neatly.

Couple of disadvantages to it though... I have to remember to close the camera shutter, as there's no blue lights visible on the side to remind me... And there isn't much tactile feedback when operating the main control keys, apart from the Action key but it's just a matter of getting used to it... and I'm trying to! :)

Yes. the Left Fn key with the Windows key opens the menu.

@Sp00k Lol, Sp00k and his Nokia N95, the "N" standing for "Ninja" of course XD...
Now I always thought that cases were horribly ugly... I guess you'll be the one laughing when I have my ugly scratched-up N95 eh?! Besides... a cool phone that looks like a sneaky ninja... can't go wrong!

@NZtechfreak Ahhh... thanks for the info. Kinda hoped it would be something like that!

Some confusion here, which 'Menu' are we talking about? the main-screen Programs Menu, or the menu that appears within a program when you press options?

It seems that you're referring to the former, whilst I'm referring to the latter of the two 'Menus'.

Hope that's cleared it up.

Yeah, I meant the main menu key. So for anyone else reading its:

.............Windows Key = "Options" (Left Soft Key menu)
Left Fn + Windows Key = "Main Menu" (Main application launch menu)

Just for clarity.

There is now a "thanks" feature on the forum. Feel free to click the "Thanks" link at the bottom of sp00k's review if you've found it useful to show your appreciation.

Cheers!

Thankful yet I'm a bit ticked too! Ticked that everyone has one of these babies and I have yet to get my hands on one! Stinks for me out in Taiwan too! Been checking high and low and no one caries this the igo let alone any BT keyboard for the N95. Figured I'd order it from Expansy's in Hong Kong since the Dell model was listed on just a few days ago! Now they only have the regular iGo branded one! Yes the Exact one with the case thats priced almost twice as high!!! Sp00k cause of your great review I'm going to pick me up one of these suckers even at the marked up price! Figure it'd cost me around the same to order the Dell model for cheaper but I'd end up paying the difference in shipping from the UK or US. In any case it's still quite a bit cheaper then the Nokia model. Sorry to gripe guys but I'm in envy right now of you guys!

Pity I'm not on commission from Expansys!

Now I only have to hope and pray that these gizmos don't fall apart after a few weeks use... If they do, I'm leaving the country!
