Seidio BlackBerry 9800 Torch Innocase Surface Case Combo - Black

1st and foremost if you are looking for something that gives the phone some proction and holds it on your belt or whatever, then i am sure this will be fine for you. However, if you want to retain the full use of the phones capabilities then beware, this item may not allow you to use the virtual keyboard. Minor irritation to some, pain the backside for me. Secondly the maget facilty which turns the screen of on the BB did not seem to work reliably initially, making sure the phone was firmly back in the holder seemed to fix this. THe front bezel stops the slide closing precisely and the virtaul keyboard icon is greyed out. I took my phone into an O2 shop where they explained what was happening. I had not realised that this would be the case but on reflection i wasnt surprised. Normally when the torch is shut the slide seems failry fixed in position but with this fitted it was a bit wobbly. Im afraid its back to a pouch of some description which is a shame.

It is a good fit and looks like it will last. I used to have the flap ones but the magnet gets spoilt after a while.

Fitting was simple and provides secure stowage for my Blackberry when out-and-about. Certainly a great deal more covenient than a pocket.

I've had Seidio cases for previous BlackBerrys and am pleased to say that this case and holster combination does the same good job. The case does a reasonable job of protecting the handset from everyday bumps - including dropping it onto concrete. It's firmly clipped about both halves of the Torch. The smooth finish feels nice and stops it sliding off a work surface. The holster holds the handset conveniently on a belt; with a little practice you can get it back in even under a jacket or coat. The case doesn't completely seal the BlackBerry (go elsewhere for that) but, in combination with a screen protector, it's a good compromise to protect it. The holster adds the convenience of having it immediately to hand whenever you need.
