The plastic feel of the blackberry device really does detract from its appeal. Something resembling the earlier palm models or perhaps the iPod video casing. Ideally I'd want a vertu-inspired blackberry. That's the goal.
If not, any ideas how to manufacture one and whether there is an identifiable market for it? Given the steep price and abundant uses for a blackberry devices you would think that they could design something of significantly higher quality.

The 8700 was bigger and had a bigger QWERTY keyboard. The 8700 is STILL a good Blackberry, it just does not have all the Bells and Whistles the newer units offer. I also liked the track wheel but I know that the roller ball is the future and am getting used to it.
As far as someone making a better case, tooling costs v.s. demand would prohibit! I suggest you simply use your device and when it starts to show some wear, slip into a new one. I show reasonable care with my Blackberry but it is a phone and is a tool I need to run my company. I say use it with care but also enjoy!
