It sounds awesome on the go but from trial and error its best used with a fanny pack or held in your hand
Holding it in your hand is a non-starter in any city or large town in the UK and perhaps a number of other countries. Too big a risk of your N8 quickly ending up in someone else's hand There are lots of options for carrying your N8 out & about, a bum bag, a man-bag (or big purse), a large jacket pocket or a small compartment in a shoulder bag (I have a smart leather messenger bag but also a very discrete cheap canvas messenger back that was only £18 from Amazon, it's dark grey and very dull looking). Dull looking = thumbs up in a city full of scavengers like London.
I note that mwhals is thinking of home use only. I took my just arrived Brass Black to France in September and it loved the experience. If I needed a DAP for less secure situations, I would also use my QP2R.
