I second the recommendation for the Seido holster:
RUBBERIZED SPRING CLIP SWIVEL HOLSTER FOR UN-SKINNED 8100/8130 - HLBB8100AS
The rubberized plastic means it's not cheap-looking like shiny plastic, and won't crack. The screen faces in, which keeps the glass and keys cleaner. The face of the Pearl rests against a felt lining. The spring clip at the top is fairly substantial, and the 8130 fits perfectly. It takes a few tries to get the hang of removing the Pearl with one hand, but after that it's second nature.
It includes the sleeper magnet (this means that the Pearl will automatically go into standby, or keyboard lock, or device lock when you holster it, depending on your preferences) and the belt clip swivels and locks for vertical or horizontal wear.
I paid $36.45 total, with shipping. This seems like a lot, but think about the role this accessory plays in your life. How many other things (besides the BlackBerry itself) do you carry with you during all your waking hours, and use 25 or 50 times a day? Just swallow the price and then forget about it. You should be happy with your holster.
(Note that the link above is for the version of the holster that takes a "naked" Pearl -- no silicone skin. Seido also sells skins, and holsters that fit skinned devices. Their website says the skinned holster for the 8130 is coming soon.)
