Anyone hear of a release date for the leather cases by Fortte. I have purchased these cases in the past for my 8700(personal) & 8800(work). Now that I have my 8900, I do not know what the delay is for. I called the customer support number this morning but no answer.

Fortte has released two new designs for the BlackBerry Javelin 8900
Open Face and Glove Fit (zipper style)
The direct link is:

Leather pda cases for your BlackBerry Javelin 8900, Glove Fit for BlackBerry Javelin 8900 and Open Face for BlackBerry Javelin 8900

In the next few days we will release all the models that include the 'sleep function' mode.

I just saw they updated their site, thanks.

Still waiting on the models that activate "Holster Mode". Any word on those yet?

There are several options of holster type cases with the 'sleep mode'

1. Thin Pocket - Preformed for extended protection in a thin design.
