keep it in a pouch to keep lint and crap from getting up under the trackball

The form-fitting (snap-on) hard cases work great for me. Seido has a variety of these. I also add extra protection by applying a screen protector. When you have the Berry in a molded hard case, it is a good idea to also install Soft-Reset, a useful app that will allow you to reset the device just like a battery pull, without having to remove the case and actually pull the battery. This is on the website Geek and Proud.

That is what I am using a form fitting snap on hard case and I put a screen protector on the screen. My problem now is that its a tight fit in the leather pouch that came with my 8310. Any ideas for a simular pouch less tight?

If you are using the hard case AND a screen protector, you may not need a pouch, unless you just want to keep dust out. It just adds more bulk otherwise.

Yea that is my concern about dust. I don't work in a dusty place but I like to be able to put the BB in my pant pocket.

The Zagg product looks good. I sometimes carry the device in my pocket, when we walk for instance. But most of the time I carry it in a belt clip pouch.

The Zagg system would probably let me still use the belt clip pouch.

Wish I had discovered this system before I dropped my Curve on the asphalt the other day. Now have a nick on one corner...not a disaster but would rather it had not happened.

It can be tricky if it's your first time applying one. Just take your time and use the spray as it keeps the pieces from sticking right away so you can reposition them.

You'll need less of it as you get used to applying them.

I before I asked I bought a plastic clear full body protector and thht it was quit cheap but it has done well so far...plus the leather case that came with my bb......but when this cheap case does break I'll do the otterbox...

Oh God this!

I watched a co-worker's i-phone bounce off the cement without so much as a scratch. After he saw our faces of horror he smiled, held it up and said, "Naaah it's an Otterbox." My choice was made right there and then.

Yeah, the Otterbox ain't cheap, but it's cheaper than having to buy a new BB, right?

Just think about it.

so the IS for 25$ the outer box for $50 or the BSE for $7 or just the screen for $6

choices choices

I just bought the Total body Skin. I will let you know what I think when it arrives.
