I want to get my dad a nice leather case for his 8703e Blackberry. I think he would prefer one that covers the screen when on the belt.

I am debating between these two right now.
Flip-Up
Flip-Down

Which is better? I also like the look of the Crocco Black. I was hoping Vaja would have a style like either of these but they don't. Which is better flip-up or flip-down? Any better cases out there like these?

I would prefer the flipdown, and black is best for all around dressing with anything.
