I have been thinking of getting some type of hard case for my 8830. (philosophical debates aside).
I'd like to use something like that on the weekends when I am out (kids football games, etc), and then don't think I need it quite as much or at all during the week when I don't want to feel like I'm at a construction site when I am in the office or with customers.
The seido hybrid case looks like one choice, but doesn't look like it will come off easily, so its a bit of a compromise for me - good protection without looking too rough for the office. But it looks nice. Not sure how I would handle a battery pull yet (for when the keyboard shortcut doesn't work), and it may not work that great in the OEM holster which I like.
Then I saw this case, which looks like it works better for using only when you want to:
Armor Case - 8830 Metal Case / BlackBerry 8830 Metal Case / 8830 Aluminum Case / BlackBerry 8830 Aluminum Case
anyone have this / use it? can you comment on it?
