Default Toughen up the curve

Please Login to Remove!
Hey guys, I'll be picking up my first blackberry next week, and I'm scared that I am going to scratch it up pretty bad, I have had a nextel i860 for the last couple years and 'they' have taken a beating. I have had to get a nylon case for my i860 and that seemed to work well. What can I do to help protect my new Blackberry? I am liking the Nite Ize cases, seems to be my style.

I ride quads, drive a lifted truck and just enjoy the outdoors, but I work for Marriott, wear a suit and just flat out want a blackberry. So help me protect this thing!!

I want something like this, but for the curve...

i use the OEM leather holster which work pretty good, they also sell the skins and other little things if you want to be extra careful.

i have a rubberized case for my curve as well as an OEM vinyl case. You may consider these, but since you said you are an outdoors type, i dont think they would offer enough protection say if you dropped it or something.

I use the NiteIze small universal case, with my Curve, at work. It can take the abuse and protect the phone. Granted its not the most stylish, but it gets the job done. As a firefighter, I have had my phone it all sorts of situations where the more "elegant" holders would have bitten the dust. I don't know how many of the light weight holsters/pouches I have busted when it catches on something and rips the clip off. The NiteIze is damn near indestructible. Besides, I have no fashion sense anyway.
