Best case ever for the construction trade.
User: Daniel Mostek, May 4, 2008
Pros:
Great protection
Cons:
Loose some ring tone sound (just a little)
Ive tried many cases for my 8130 and none of them come close to the protection of the otter-box. I do industrial roofing and work around some dusty stuff. This case rocks and I highly recommend it to all. The holster that comes with it is one of the strongest on the market. While on my motorcycle it doesnt even move.
This is the most protective and convenient blackberry solution.
User: Mark Jacobson, Oct 27, 2008
Pros:
Extremely durable weather resistant, strong construction and solid feel. Feels nice in the hand.
Cons:
Membrane a little tricky installing, takes some getting use to with the keys, trackball not fully protected
Given the cons I listed dont let that deter you. This case is first rate and beats every other case Ive seen. Its got looks and convenience. It might not be the slickest thing to walk into a boardroom meeting with, but this thing does keep your screen looking nice.
The keys under the membrane make a noise while typing and it takes a bit of getting use to the new tactile feel. However the drawbacks given the benefits are completely negligible. This case is the best Ive used.

Pros:
it is awesome, takes alot of punishment. very
Cons:
once place on your phone. hard to take off
overall this is a must have to anyone that wants to keep there phone protected. I hope in the next upgrade that they make it so you can access the memory card. they battery i only take that out if something goes wrong. wich is NOT allot.
Best Case for Protecting My Precious Pearl
User: Edie Foss, Dec 28, 2008
Pros:
all-around protection of everything except trackball
Cons:
none
I love this case! Although I bought it from another vendor, because I had not yet found this site, I still thought I would come in here and rave! I love that the membrane has a hole for the trackball. It took me a couple of tries to get the membrane aligned properly, but the trick is to be patient and pay attention to what you are doing, and it fits perfectly! With the exception of a couple of little bubbles on the screen cover, you almost cannot tell that it is there. Personally, I would rather be able to tell that it is there and know that my pearl is protected...I mean, face it...these are EXPENSIVE devices, and I really dont want to have to buy a new one right now.
I would recommend this case to everyone...dont even bother with the little cheapo cases unless you are easy on phones. I am hard on my phones, on the run 99 of the time, and dont have time or money to keep replacing broken ones!
Best Case so Far
User: Brian Daniels, Jan 8, 2009
Pros:
Tank like construction.
Cons:
Membrane isnt perfect.
I wasnt overly impressed with this case out of the box. After a few tries to get everything just so I changed my mind. The weakest link is applying the membrane. Do it dry and you will never get the bubbles out. I simply wiped the Pearl and the membrane with a monitor cleaning wipe and eliminated 95 of the bubbles, Not for your friends who are OCD. You will never get it perfect and if you intend to use the camera you have to cut a hole for the lens. Look through the membrane and you will see why. Its not optically clear. Other than that the case makes the little Pearl seem as strong as a tank. Well done Otter Box.
