Default UPDATE!! Seidio Super Slim Crystal, Rubberized, Smoke and Pink Case vs Skin Review - 11-02-2006, 12:12 PM

First, I apologize about the long title. I wanted to put this in the review section but figured since it's about the 8100 also, I'd post it here first.

Alrighty. So I wanted to try out the cases that Seidio offer...I received the second package today.




Here is the Pearl naked (BSE full body skin):



Here is the Pearl with Seidio's Jet Black Skin Case (silicone):



Here is the two piece Rubberized Case:



Here is the two piece Pink and Smoke Case:



As you can see, two pieces. Fits very snug. I actually like this better than the silicone skin. The two cases snap together, well...in a snap. This goes for all the cases. Some may have been experiencing problems with the top part. I would suggest latching/snapping the top part first, followed by the bottom and then the sides. Hope that helps!

The Feel: Much better than the silicone skin and very sturdy. Looks much better than the silicone skin. Also, the Rubberized Case feels nice and smooth. I love the color of the smoke but I love the Rubberized Case better. Pink is for either my sister or girlfriend, they are contemplating about getting an 8100.



The rubberized case doesn't seem to scratch easily. Other than that, the convenience keys/volume keys are easy to access. I have had the rubberized case for about a week and it has not attracted any lint/dust at all. Looks very sleek!

Now for the Super Slim Crystal Case:



Smoke Case:



Pink Case:



*Note: Don't mind the smudge on the back, that's just the BSE full body skin coming in contact with the case.

The case snaps on much easier than the Rubberized Case and has an even better fitting. So 'fit' that I had trouble taking the back piece off! Other than that, the case is basically the same as the Rubberized Case. I prefer the rubberized over the other cases.



All four cases did not scratch the Pearl in any way.

Overall Results (out of 10):**

Rubberized Case: 9.9
Smoke Case: 9.8
Super Slim Crystal Case: 9.7
Jet Black Skin Case: 9.0
Pink Case: 9.7

**I placed the cases/skin in order of preference

Thank you Seidio for the great products. Seidio has become my #1 place for 8100 accessories. Again, Much thanks to David Chang for being courteous, prompt PM replies and freaking awesome!

Thanks for the review but one that kind of bother me is, he always says that it is smooth and easy to take out of the pocket so my question is (if you also have the Blackberry Skin Case version) will it stays in place if you put it on top of the dashboard will you are driving? That's one thing I like to know.

I know it's just a minor thing but I still like to know.

Well since each car's dashboard is different, the Pearl with Rubberized Case slid more easily. My dashboard has the same texture as Japanese paper (bumpy with fine ridges).

Yep, I like the Smoke Case pictures Seidio posted but I'm afraid it will be just like the Super Slim Crystal Case. If so, then I'm sticking with the Rubberized Case.

Doesnt it seem that these cases not only add to the overall size of the phone (albiet minimally) but also takes away from the sleek design?

I want to get the rubberized case, but I also still want to use my Blackberry designed pouch. Will it still fit into the pouch?

I understand what you are trying to say. I guess it comes down to personal preference.

Even though I've only had it for about an hour, I think the Rubberized Case is much better than the skin. If Seidio hasn't shipped out your skin, opt for the Rubberized Case

Smoother than the silicone skin. I hopped into a pair of jeans and tried sliding it in/out a few times. Much easier to get out than the silicone skin which would grab onto the sides of the pocket.

Very nice. A thorough review and I like the pics. I have two Pearls [one being used by girlfriend, so I think that counts as me having two ].

I have a clear plastic on the way, but I think I'm gonna try out that black rubberized. Looks nice.

Will give the clear or the black one to my GF.

Thanks for the review. I have the Black skin and the Smoke Crystal case coming from Seidio so I am excited about trying both of them.

Nice review indeed. I don't have a Pearl yet, but when I get mine the rubberized case is what I want. Plus it won't scratch like all hard platic cases do. How easy is it to get off to access the battery door? What screen protection do you use with it?

The rubberized case looks interesting, and the fact that you say dust and lint aren't a problem is intriguing... (I won't put the Seidio Silicone skin/"dust magnet" back on the phone... unless I need to dust the house!)

One thing. How heavy is the rubberized case? It looks rather thick. Thicker than the Silicone skin? Or thinner.

Good review!

Thanks!

The Super Slim Crystal Case is easier to get off than the Rubberized Case but as easy as it was to snap on the case.

Well, I don't really have a 'screen protector' but I have a full body skin from BSE that protects the screen also. It was cheap, $9 shipped. I'm very satisfied.

Thanks!
The Rubberized Case is not heavy at all. I would say the same weight as the silicone skin. As far as thickness, I want to say it is a tad bit thinner yet more durable and sturdy. It fits so perfectly that I think it does not make the 8100 seem 'bulky'.

So far no lint/dust. There was a piece of dust on the case but I just blew it off.

Seidio crystal case and rubberized case are super slim design. we have carefully design so it will not take away the sleek design og BB 8100. It offers the protection and personalized options.

As to the carrying solution for BB 8100 with crystal, rubberized case or skin on , Seidio offers

1) swivel lock plastic holster
2) leather case that can work with naked BB 8100 and BB 8100 with crystal case, rubberized case and skin on.

The leather case will be available later. The holster is available now.

Those BSE smudges on the back of that one pic are a testament to how tight fitting the clear case is.

My case is very much like this one, only black instead of brown and a belt clip instead of a strap. I got it free with Rogers. It's the OEM case for Blackberry.

Ok so I bought the case not knowing if it will fit in this pouch. That belt clip reminds me of the one for the Mike i830 I owned. Everytime I pulled it out of the clip, it would flop around in my hands and land on the floor. I prefer the pouch, I find it's better protection for me. I hope that this will fit in the OEM Blackberry leather pouch.

Fantastic review Phungy!!!! Rubberised case looks fantastic - didn't actually realise that it came apart in 2 pieces!!

Wasn't sure about splashing out $30 on it though plus international shipping but the review has convinced me - just waiting on my BSE skin and case and I'll be set!!

Just out of interest how much is shipping within the USA for an individual case, because I was just about to order a Rubberised case from Seidio but was informed that shipping was $25.17 with Fed-ex.

The case could be shipped (weight-wise I'm guessing) for about $5 airmail and about $11 Global Priority International.

Kinda dissapointed with the shipping cost - especially since I see people for the company on here replying to messages, giving regular updates, offering advice, assistance, customer service numbers, discount codes etc - but I'm used to American companies overcharging.

Just have to wait for a poorer quality case on eBay because I'm not paying approx. $47 shipped for the rubberised case!!
