This is NOT the BlackBerry OEM Skin

Review by Ivan D. Randall, 2010-08-08

I bought my BlackBerry 8330 at BestBuy last year. They sold me the official BlackBerry skin with it (it was really affordable <$10). It fit well and until it tore a couple weeks ago, I loved it.

I bought this skin here on Amazon to replace it and although it arrived promptly, the quality of this skin is not the same at all. My biggest complaint is that the edges of the skin that surround the keyboard area obstruct your access to the edge keys on both sides. You can still press the keys, but not without some discomfort. After using the REAL BlackBerry skin for a year, I can tell you that THIS SKIN IS COUNTERFEIT and is not the same!

After seeing so many 5-star reviews, I'm severely disappointed...

Not the right configuration

Review by Alyssa Klein, 2010-07-16

The cover is not the correct design for my new Curve. The holes in the cover for the camera, etc. are in the wrong places. I would have to peel back the cover to take a picture, and after 2 or 3 times of doing this, the cover ripped. It was worth the $2, but now I have to buy a new one.

More than worth the money

Review by Paul Parker, 2010-06-21

This is the second one of these I've bought for my 8330. I only wish I'd bought the first one sooner, before I scratched the back and screen of my Curve. While it doesn't cover the screen, the screen will no longer touch surfaces when you put your Blackberry down upside down, because it will be sitting on the front of the case instead of the front of the Blackberry. The corner of my first case started to rip after about 18 months, because I constantly played with that corner, slipping the device in and out. For a product at this price level, that's fine. In fact, I've bought many cases for portable electronics over the years that cost much more money and were much less useful, and I always research cases thoroughly. This second case has a protruding seam on the top where the case front and back join, but I expect that'll wear away over time.

Good option for skin for your Blackberry!

Review by Tim Mellberg, 2010-06-20

After purchasing several different Blackberry skins, I believe that this has been the best that I have found.

I have purchased the Black, White, and what is referred to as "dark gray". The dark gray is lighter than what I saw in the picture. It is more like light gray. A little bit lighter than soft lead pencil markings.

What I like:
This skin protects the most of the phone except for the face of the phone.
Can be taken of and on very easily.
Fits the phone well.
Protects the phone well from falls.
Because it is made out of rubber, it can stick to surface area of tables, over the glove compartment in cars, and other similar items. It is not "sticky". It is more like a rubber grip.

What I thought was a con but now I don't is that the skin gets in the way of taking out the battery in case your phone locks up/freezes. Because you can press the buttons "alt", "CAPS", and "delete" to restart the phone
without having to take the battery out for a hard restart.

What I don't like:
I had one before and it didn't last me more than 6 months.
if my pockets are a little tight when putting it in my back pocket, if my pockets are a little tight, the skin can grip to the sides of the pockets. (This isn't a huge issue)

Over time, the skin does stretch or softens.


Overall, I think this is a great option for anyone seeking to find a phone cover for the blackberry. It is not the strongest cover over all, but I believe the pros outweigh the cons and that is is a better option than the "snap on skin" (please refer to my other review[..]

Hope this was helpful:).
