Best Skin For Bold
This case has to be the best skin you can buy for the bold. It offers great overall protecion. The skin protects the keyboard and every other part of the bold. It also comes with a free screen protector. Very easy to put on and off and very slim. I have to admit that after using this case for a week I found it to start stretching quite a bit. Also it was harder to use the trackball with the skin on. If you use your bold a lot in the dark then you will also find a problem with the backlighting its hard to see the backlighting through this case and some of it doesnt show up at all. Out of all the cases Ive tried this was my second best. I did find it easier to type with this case on. Also unlike other skins like the OEM skin this case doesnt attract lint or is not hard to take out of your jeans pocket. Great value considering the price and all the protecion offered.
Exceptional! Buy one quick! Before you drop your Bold...
I arranged to buy this for my Blackberry Bold even before I actually received my phone...unfortunately I dropped my phone before I was able to unwrap the box and place it on. Lucky for me the drop didn't do any major damage other than some surface scratches on the exterior and more than a few embarassing loud improper expletives from me (sorry Mom). With the case fully on my phone, you cannot see ANY damage whatsoever.
First impression is that this is a VERY NICE looking phone case. It literally fits like a 2nd skin, aligning with everything with absolute precison. In the previous phones I've owned I cannot say the same thing. Some were nicer than others, but every single protective case I have ever purchased didn't line up with every single plug-in, speaker or button perfectly--it ALWAYS seemed as though at least ONE was off, even by just a tiny amount. Having this to draw upon, I fully expected the Case-Mate to do the same, but imagine my surprise when I discovered it to be 100% perfect in how well it fit. To say this was impressive is an understatement.
The next thing I noticed was how unlike ALL other Case's I have owned, this one entirely covers the QWERTY keyboard. It wasn't until after I got it home that I began to wonder if under dark light I would be able to see the keys lit up from underneath the skin. This worried me actually quite a bit wondering if I would have to remove the skin in order to text or e-mail in the dark. Fortunately the keys ARE lit up, even underneath the skin, however keep in mind that if I have ANY criticism this is it: YES you CAN see the letters lit up, but NOT nearly as brite as I would like them to be--but so far I haven't had to remove the phone from the case in order to text, but I came close a couple times. One of the really horrible things about getting older is my vision isn't what it used to be and my night vision is just shy of absolute blindness, but this is my ONLY gripe.
The Case-Mate is VERY slick and sits well in my hands. The silicone exterior is very rubbery and sits well without sliding on my cars dash, which is another plus if you ask me. After having used it for going on 2 weeks now, I can honestly say that Case-Mate has me SOLD. I will definitely buy another model if/when I upgrade to another phone in a few years...absolutely WORTH the price, without question.
So far so good...
Just picked up this case awhile ago and so far it seems to work fine. Easy on and off however isn't loose fitting. Slides right in and out of a jeans pocket with no problems and doesn't appear to be a lint magnet. No issues with the keyboard or the light sensor but there is a slight difference in accessing the track ball. Overall I like the case and the fact that I can easily slip it off to use the leather case when wearing business attire.
