Here's my gripes:

1) The case makes the device HUGE. The 7250 is a nice, light, slim device. The case makes it bulky & heavy.

2) The belt clip is a piece of junk. It's a pain to get in & out of the clip (requires 2 hands sometimes) & the swivel squeaks like cheap plastic.

3) The rubber sticks to whatever it touches. While this is good when you are holding the phone, you can't put it any pocket with ease and it sticks to my suit jacket (& that really looks bad in meetings). When the case was designed, someone obviously only considered it's use when being held & ignored the times when you are simply carrying it.

4) The screenprotector & the skin itself simply did not fit right. If I'm paying for a "skin tight" protector it should be skin tight. It looked bulky & did not fit right at all.

Other than that it was a great buy... I want my money back!
I couldn't even last a few days. Despite my previous advice on getting the skin to fit around the 7250 using rubbber bands, the bulge came back the next day. In addittion to this I echo the gripes above, especially the fact that it is nearly impossible to put the blackberry in your pocket with the skin on. All in all, pretty dissapointing. I plan on returning the skin asap.

Von Maestro, you know SpeckProducts has a decent return policy. I know it's only $30, but it all adds up.

So to those with the 7250...it just won't fit correctly. Some may not care about the bulge, but in my opinion it is unacceptable. I have an iSkin evo2 for my iPod and it fits absolutely perfect...and it's not soo "sticky." I expected a product similar to the iSkin, but this is not it.
