Default Best cases for Curve 8310? - 04-26-2008, 06:02 PM

A month or two ago I got my first BB, the Curve 8310. I was just wondering, out of your prior experience, where can I find some really good cases that protect the body as well as the screen? Or just your personal favorites.

Right now I'm just using the cheap little case that comes with the device.

Thanks.

Get a screen protector, first and foremost.'

Cases... there are many. Try one of the faithful sponsors here, from Siedo or Forte, in our sponsor section.

There are plenty of options available at Blackberry Accessories - Blackberry Case, Blackberry Bluetooth, Blackberry Charger, Blackberry Battery - Fommy.com[/url] but the best I like is the Original RIM Blackberry case which is a swivel holster belt clip

Im pretty happy with the leather slip that came with it. Although a screen protector wouldnt go a miss... any to recommend? Would a piece of clear adhesive film work?

I like my 'Otter Box'. It has an all around protective sleeve.. a hard case and a soft cover. Comes with a holster also.

I have used Best Skins Ever since my Pearl.

RIM Blackberry Curve 8300 8310 8320 Total Body Skin

And I like the "Leather" Sleeve that came with the Curve. Not a big fan of holsters.

I too have the Seidio burgundy rubberized case and the Seidio holster for skinned bb's. The rubberized texture of the case gives the bb a nice grip and also protects the bb from scratches. It is also easy to put on and take off if you need to get in the battery compartment.

I also use a Screenguardz protector for screen. The screen guard is just OK. Always have problems getting all the bubbles out.

I'm going to have to enter this case as the best one for those who keep their BB's in their pockets.

Ultra slim. Very nice leather. And only $29.

I love the OEM BB pouch but I thought it was a bit bulky. Especially if I was to keep my BB in my pocket.

And before anyone asks... no, it doesn't have the magnet sleeping function... but all I do is hit the mute button to sleep my Curve before slipping it in. Problem solved.

Anyway... Here are some manufacturer photos and link!

I've used Shieldzone's product Invisishield for years on all my blackberries. Best part is if anything happens to them, they replace for free when you mail the original one back. So far, none of them have peeled or lost contact.

Has anyone tried the Sena A02 vertical holster with their Curve? This is the open top non flap with metal clip kind of holster. I'm wondering how secure it is. On the Seido site it seems like they sell the same holster for several different devices and the dimensions of the devices do have some variability. This is my prefered style carrier for at work and around town. I have a ballistic nylon case that's more durable and secure for off the beaten path.

Thanks for any help or opinions.
