FULL protection, easy on/off |

Purchased From: case-mate.com
Review: As many others have said, the LED slot doesn't line up properly so as suggested by other reviewers I used an exacto knife to cut the hole about a millimeter lower and it's perfect. It wasn't a huge issue to begin with. Just a minor irritation. EVERYTHING else about this case is perfect. It covers the keyboard which keeps dust and hairs out of those tiny spaces that they could get in and never be cleaned from. The screen protector is thick enough to be effective but not too thick.

Review: I ordered this case after reading all of the raves about it online. This is a great case for the Curve. I like that it's rubber, but doesn't feel "sticky" at all - it's very smooth. The color options are nice and the case fits very well. The only drawbacks are: (1) the case is not very snug around the screen and around the trackball - it has gaps where dust and liquid can get under the case; (2) the color has already started wearing off in "high traffic" areas (around ball and on corners) and is turning white; and (3) although it is still very easy to type with the cover, the backlighting does not show through well except for the number keys. These are all pretty minor complaints, and I would still recommend this product to anyone.

Review: I have been looking for something like this for my curve because I wanted to have the phone painted to get the color I wanted but everyone said no because I would void my warranty. I am soooo glad I found your site! I order two colors and I am gonna order the remaining colors! These are the BOMB! They fit so snug and I get sooo many compliments, people actually thought I had the phone painted! Thanks for bringing this type of product out for people like me who like to constantly change phones. It has satifised me!

Review: I love my new case. It is great and fits very well. I was surprised at how easy it was to still use the keypad. I did have to adjust the trackball sensitivity a little because the case got in the way plus I have big fingers. The only bad is that only after a couple weeks my black case is starting to turn white in spots. Other then that a great case.

Review: I purchased my BB and moments later I happened to see a person pass by me with this "interesting" case. (I ONLY buy cases that offer complete protection of my mobile devices. At the very least if I want to sell my device later on... It'll be in excellent condition). I asked her where she purchased it and she told me it was in a mall 3 cities away from the one I resided in. I did my research. I saw great reviews. Traveled the distance, purchased it... PERFECT PROTECTOR!!! Now my girlfriend and sister want one for their BB's...

Review: I love this cover. Previous posts talk about the color fading or wearing off, but just rub a little baby oil on it, and the color comes right back. The same day I received mine, 3 blackberry owners at work put in an order and they all love them. Previous cons are that if you have to pull the battery alot, it gets stretched out....hasn't happened yet, but if it does, I will order another one. I will be a customer for as long as I am a Blackberry owner!

Review: I loved this case when it is new. I've had my casemate for 3 months and it is already all stretched out and. I have a blackberry and obvious that a blackberry user will have to do battery pulls. The keyboard battery pull or the app doesn't always work and you do sometimes need to do a real one. I can't use the trackwheel with out getting my finger caught in the rubber case now. A $20 case lasts 3 months? It's outrageous. At least offer a 4-pack for $20. Then I wouldn't be complaining. I would expect a $20 case to last a year.

Review: I have owned several cases for my blackberries and like others, I just haven't been able to use them long because they became annoying or they were too bulky or they look worn after a short time. This case is made of great material and it fits like a glove and makes typing easy. Very leery of buying a case online, but I'm very pleased with the product. Its a keeper.

Review: This is the best cell phone cover ever. As for covers for Blackberry; the one that comes in the box is just plain ugly and is not user friendly, especially in a handbag. I like the way the case-mate feels in the hand, while it is thick and protective it does not feel bulky.
My whole phone is covered, even the keys, and when you live with a 3-year old, that is important.
The bonus and that I have not, in the two months I have had it, felt the urge to take it off, as I do with most ofthose hard plastic ones. I also love the fact that I seem to be the only person in my country who has an effective cover for a Blackberry.
The downside to this is that I cannot get other colours because the cover is not available in SA. If and when it gets wonky, I will have trouble getting used to an inferior product. Also I wish I could get them as gifts, but the what - to do!?

Purchased From: Lenox Mall (Atlanta) Kiosk Store
Review: I just received a replacement BB Curve from T-Mo yesterday. Not wanting the plastic facing to get scratched slightly as the last one did, I went out looking for a screen protector immediately.
I called the T-Mo store at Lenox Mall and they told me that they wanted $10.99 for the screen protector, but it was only a small thin piece of plastic that would only cover the screen (about the same as the screen protector that comes with the Case-Mate.
On my way into the mall, I spotted the Case-Mate kiosk, and was easily sold by the staff on the merits of the Case Mate. At only $9 more for a full phone case, it was a great buy, and I bought it on the spot. They even installed the screen protector for me, which was very nice, but unfortunately, the staff got one of their fingerprints on the sticky side (the back) of the screen protector film, so I can't get rid of it. Can CaseMate send me another one so that I can replace the one they installed?
Thank you for creating such a great product!
Dave in Atlanta.
Overall, I give this product a 5 out of 5, and am very glad to have it.

Review: (let me start off by saying this may be a little long, but hopefully you'll hear me out)
I shoot video product reviews for another cell phone on YouTube, so I can be a little critical of cases. But when my girlfriend told me she wanted to get a case for her Curve, we went with the SmartSkin. She liked that it came in purple, I just said we will see how it goes. To my surprise when it came in, it seemed nice & I knew my girlfriend would like it, well, because it came in purple, but anything was going to be better than the case she had before the SmartSkin. Like I said before, I can be a bit critical of cases, but I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this case. My girlfriend has had this case for about a month now and I know she beats it up pretty good. Even though she beats it up, the case still looks brand new. I haven't seen one "worn" mark on it which can happen with silicon cases & it also, doesn't feel like your normal silicon case. The feel of this case is almost "marshmallowy" and at the same time, firm. The SmartSkin is somewhat thick, but not bulky, and is very form fitting. It feels great in the hand and a very big plus are the cut outs for the camera ect. being spot on, even the tiny receiver hole at the bottom, perfectly cut. I can't wait for the SmartSkin to come out for my device, talking with Case-Mate it sounds like there are plans in the making for it. So when it does come out for my device....you can trust, that I'll be all over it. I give the SmartSkin a 4.95 only because nothing is perfect.
