Does anyone know if you can change the color of your 8700c instead of having the regular grey and black case?

Do you mean as in swapping it for an aftermarket colored housing?

No.

There are some decal type skins available. Saw some on Ebay. They come in a variety of colors. This is as close as you'll get.

Again, no. No one makes colored housings for the 8700.

I imagine since the Blackberry is targeted towards a business clientele, changable housings aren't something seen as a product worth developing.

Here's a link to the "skins" I was talking about (22 colors.)

I could see if RIM didnt want to make the housings, but like you said an aftermarket company may.
