When I applied egrips on my bb8700g, they didn't have the 8700g version so I bought the universal one and applied them on. It looked good actually and I always like egrips. Now I have the seidio skin case for my 8700g but I also applied egrips on the back, they do a better job than skin case but well, having both wouldnt hurt anybody and I think i like them together: skin case on with egrips on the back !
