Plastic pouch is must for 8700

[joginder]

We have seen so many 8700 owners complaining about the hoster than came with the BB and I agree that I will have to have one pouch for this device because I have slipped this device out of my hand but luckily it landed on the carpet so it is ok so far. Even though I have SureGrip on it.
Let me know if anyone see good pouch with magnet on it so that it keep the BB safer but with same like OEM holster keeps it because of magnet

also claims to have several cases for the 8700c. I've ordered a few. We'll see if they really fit or if they're meant for other BBs.

The 7290 horizontal pouch does not activate the magnet/holster switch for me.

Yep, and it has the built in magnet to deactivate/sleep the device which works with the 8700c.

Waiting for my pouch to show up, FedEx says Dec 23rd :) I have now dropped it 4 times and have major scratches and a crack in the face. I sure it last long enough for a clamshell to come out ;)
