If only it were that simple! There are so many cases available, so finding the best BlackBerry Curve\u00a08520 case<\/a> is a near impossible task, but as so many of you want to know which is the ultimate case to have, I thought I\u2019d spend a bit of time working out just which is the\u00a0best BlackBerry Curve\u00a08520 case<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take me long to realise asking \u201cWhich is the best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0case?<\/strong>\u201d is like asking \u201cHow long is a piece of string?\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to people in the office, it became very clear that everyone looks for something different when it comes to choosing a case for their phone. So for that reason I decided to create a list of the best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0case<\/a> for each of the different styles of case that are available. (Leather Cases, Skins, Heavy Duty, Pouches etc\u2026)<\/p>\n

Listed below are the cases that I think are the best ones out there for the BlackBerry Curve 8520<\/a>. This is based on a number of factors, customer reviews, sales\/return rates and value for money. Categorising some of these cases was a bit tricky as some could easily go into multiple categories, so if you disagree with anything here, let me know using the comments form below.<\/p>\n

The Best BlackBerry Curve 8520\u00a0Leather Flip Case: <\/strong>Piel Frama Case For BlackBerry 8520 Curve<\/a><\/p>\n

This case is one of our most popular Leather Cases for the BlackBerry Curve 8520. \u00a0It is hand made from premium leather and designed specifically for the Curve Series of BlackBerry smartphones. \u00a0As well as protecting your phone, the Piel Frama case has storage space for Bank\/Credit cards and cut outs that allow you to use your headphones and charger while your phone is in the case.

If you prefer a more subtle, professional looking case, then this could be just your thing. These classic leather cases do a great job of enhancing and protecting your BlackBerry 8520 Curve. Each case is made for lasting protection and is lightly padded to protect against knocks and drops. Built into the cover of each case is a storage area for additional memory or sim cards. Unlike some cases, Capdase don’t use a stitched leather pocket to keep your phone in place, instead they<\/p>\n

The Best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0Leather Pouch is: <\/strong>BlackBerry Curve Leather Swivel Holster<\/a><\/p>\n

The swivel holster is a great way to look after your BlackBerry 8520 Curve. It\u2019s a leather pouch that fastens securely to prevent your device from falling out. \u00a0As with all Genuine BlackBerry cases, it has a built in proximity sensor that will change notification settings and put the display to sleep when your device is in the holster. The swivel holster also has an adjustable belt clip that allows you to rotate the case to a position thats comfortable.<\/p>\n

The Best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0Skins are: <\/strong>FlexiShield Plus Skin For The BlackBerry Curve<\/a><\/p>\n

The back and corners of your BlackBerry Curve 8520might start to scratch or get damaged if they\u2019re not looked after. \u00a0FlexiShield Skins for the 8520 Curve are thicker and tougher than normal Silicone Cases and BlackBerry Skins \u00a0and will certainly give your Curve more bounce if you drop it! \u00a0It has a non slip feel to it and covers all of the back of the handset, leaving the camera free for you to take your photos. \u00a0It doesn\u2019t cover the screen though, so you\u2019ll need to invest in a\u00a0BlackBerry Curve 8520 screen protector<\/a> if you want to prevent your screen from getting scratched.<\/p>\n

\"FlexiShield<\/a>

The Best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0Silicone \/ Gel Case is: <\/strong>iSkin Vibes for Blackberry Curve 8520<\/a><\/p>\n

The iSkin for BlackBerry \u00a0is made from a premium silicone material that builds in Microban technology, an antibactierial technology included in househould items such as baby care and food storage products. \u00a0The iSkin Vibe includes a screen protector and is available in a range of translucent colours.<\/p>\n

The Best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0Hard Case: <\/strong>Capdase Alumor Metal Case For The BlackBerry 8520 Curve<\/a><\/p>\n

Alumor Metal Cases are two cases in one. The have a strong, metal outer casing and a soft, energy absorbing silicone lining that prevents your phone from getting scratched and cushions it against impact. Alumor cases only cover the back of the phone, so a screen protector is included to help keep your screen scratch free.<\/p>\n

The Best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0Heavy Duty Case is: <\/strong>OtterBox For BlackBerry 8520 Curve Defender Series<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen hundreds of cases over the years, but this has to be one of the most robust one\u2019s I\u2019ve ever seen. Fitting it is a little time consuming as it\u2019s made up of several layers. Firstly there\u2019s a thin membrane that protects and covers your screen, then there\u2019s a tough ABS plastic Shell, and on top of that goes a soft touch Silicone Skin. It comes with a belt hoslter that holds your 8520 Curve securely.\u00a0It does add a little extra bulk to your phone so don\u2019t expect to be carrying it around in the back pocket of your jeans, but if you work in a rough environment this will be the best case you can get for your 8520 Curve.<\/p>\n

The Best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0Slip Pouch is: <\/strong>Capdase Smart Pocket for BlackBerry Curve<\/a><\/p>\n

The Capdase Smart Pocket is a great looking case that will make your phone look great, protect it against knocks and conceal any existing scuffs. Unlike the standard pouches that come with BlackBerry handsets, the Smart Pocket makes it extremely easy to remove your phone, just pull gently on the tab on the back of the case and your 8520 Curve will gently rise up out of the case.<\/p>\n

Best BlackBerry 8520 Curve\u00a0Case overall?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a tough one! Each of the cases listed above are great for their own reasons. \u00a0I think the case that protects the phone the most, while keeping it easily accessible and not interfering with the touch screen or any of the buttons on the phone is the\u00a0OtterBox Defender<\/a>, but the increased bulk will mean it’s not right for everyone.\u00a0\u00a0I’m not a fan of having to remove my phone from a case to use it, so personally I’d opt for an iSkin Vibe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
