here is the link to the oem faceplates.

8110/8120/8130 - Acer, Panasonic, LG, HTC, Dopod/O2, Samsung, SonyEricsson, NEC, BlackBerry, Tool

Some of us are just not interested in repeatedly buying and replacing screen and body parts for our BB. (Maybe that same portion of us who are prone to dropping/damaging our Pearls.)

When I got my BB, I got the holster with the proximity switch that turns the screen off. I discovered after about a week that it was lacking. I then got some knock off VZW case that had a screen protector, but didn't really fit.

Finally I got a silicone glove for mine, and went back to the holster. In addition, I got some random static cling screen protectors.

How hard is it to install a OEM complete coverplate? anyone experienced this?

Otter Box, has a very protective case and a membrane for covering the screen and keyboard. The membrane gets bubbles sometimes over the screen which isn't really bad but I might just cut that part.

I use Otter Box as well for my curve and 8700c. Very rugged cases.

I have a black skin on mine with no screen protector. I use the Seidio top case because it'll hold a naked or skinned BB.

i just got a screen protector now along with my oem soft skin, and i think that my phone is pretty secure from getting scuff up at all. i have been thinking ok trying out the invible sheild full body cover

I have use an OEM leather case to carry the BB in. I don't use any skins or anything like that because i like to show off the BB naturally. I am pretty anal about smudges and fingerprints so i wipe it with microfiber cloth constantly, but if anything gets physically damaged (has not happened yet...knocking on wood), I'd just get replacement parts (i.e. battery cover, shell, etc...) I do not handle the BB while driving; i set it in the vehicle cradle and use bluetooth with voice activated dialing. AND, I make sure that absolutley NO ONE touches my device!!!!!
