otter box is taking pre orders for their new curve case for 49.95. has anyone used their cases before? are they pretty good?

Sorry not an informative answer to your question....but geeze $50 for a case is expensive...what is so special about this case?

We just did a review of the case and it is pretty sturdy but bulky. I love the protection when i am outdoors since I am a serious klutz. We will probably be doing a giveaway soon for the otterbox review unit if you want to take your chances.

$50 isnt bad, I have bought Vaja cases for more then that. The otterbox makes the blackberry as tough as a milspec nextel phone.



Does anyone know if the 8300 otterbox will inclue a holster like the 8800 did?

I have it and its pretty sturdy but is bulky.

[shipwreck17]

how did you get it. I have been planning on getting that case but theyre site has said pre order only for at least 2 months. I just got my bb and now need a case.


What are some other compareable cases.

[BryanHarig]

Just call them up. I ordered one a few weeks ago and it arrived promptly.

have used it for about two weeks. the swivel clip on the holster broke on day 3 when i crouched down to wire something under a desk. not impressed by the swivel clip .

it was a pita to get the bubbles out of the clear plastic. true, the keyboard cover fit very well, but hate bubbles so no clear plastic.

the case does not snap together tightly. if the outer silicon case wasn't so nicely made, the hard plastic case would fall off.

i'll put up w the bulkiness for the ease of holding and protection. is a bit hard to reach some of the keys on the edges next to the case, but acceptable.
