With all the support for consoles and misc. tech, I'm surprised to see that the N-Gage hardly has any support. Did it really suck that bad?

Sure it's a phone, but a console none the less.

For some reason I kind of want one just to add to my collection. Make a case for it, custom covers, etc...

I think its kind of neat, any others?

As a Fnnish person and one who only buys Nokia phones, I'm bit ashamed to say say N-Gage was not good as a portable console or as a phone.

I made this template for the gameboy case a wile back.. Now I think that the PSvita case might be better suited.

If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!

It sure WILL be hard to convert to Vita cases as all the artwork on N-Gage games is wide not tall.

Just keep horizontal format then.  There's no rule that says vertical cases need vertical artwork ;)

Wouldn't that look totally strange? It's just not the way a cover should be orientated nowadays.

Personally I think we should have this template and a Vita case template so people can choose which one they wanna use :)

Hey Vt102, did you ever find the template? I think it would help some people who need it for the N-Gage  ;)

Plenty of Japanese SFC and GBA games used a horizontal layout, and ALL US SNES games did the same. I actually find it FAR more appealing, not to mention that landscape format is much better suited to the field of vision for a human being ;)

True but all the retail cases are formatted the other way. If only there were super wide clamshell cases readily available.... dare to dream.
