Incipio Feather WHITE Case: BlackBerry Storm 9530/9500 Review

**BrianW2007** · 04-13-2009, 01:58 PM

I ordered a White Incipio Feather Case for my BlackBerry Storm Thursday night around 2:00 AM for 20.00$ (Can't beat the price, right?)

Friday afternoon around 12:00PM I got a conformation that it had been shipped already (WOW!)

Today, around 2:00PM The item arrived to my doorstep Via USPS.
I'd say that is EXCELLENT shipping.

Product came in a white padded shipping envelope.
Upon opening it up, You could see the Case, once open inside the case was the (as promised) Two screen protectors, Edging 'blade' and a cleaning cloth.
All items branded "Incipio" Except, obivoulsy the Screen Protectors.

I'd say the screen protectors are roughly Verizon's Quality, applied easily and with the supplied 'blade' the screen protector went on smoothly.

The case is a One piece fitted case that the storm Easily "snapped into"

It feels great, not much added bulk and it feels solid. I don't believe it took away from it's "original beauty" one bit.
It protects most chrome edging. (Only a hair line around the phone can be seen) However, It will protect it due to it's overlapping on top of the edges.

Here are some pictures, my Cannon died so i didn't get many.
I would recommend this product 110%.
You get your moneys worth Three times compared to other competeting brands.
Excellent shipping times as well!

PS: I was able to "squeeze it" into my Siedio Spring holster, but i don't know if id recommend doing it :-D

Good to know as this was the case I was thinking about going with. Thanks.

**BrianW2007** · 04-13-2009, 02:06 PM

No problem. I like this case a lot.
I don't believe it can be beat for what you get.

There is a discount code in the other thread for 20% or 30% off.... I think its gap09.

**jnixbb09** · 04-13-2009, 03:06 PM

I used the CASE10 code, and it took about $2 off of the price. I ordered the Blue one... should have it later today

**Desimundha7** · 04-13-2009, 03:09 PM

Do you think that this case protects the storm well?
Better than the innocase?

Hows the grip? Is it slick? - I found the seido case too slick, always felt liek it was going to slip out of my hand. I'm hoping this case has some grip to it

**cmorty72** · 04-13-2009, 03:18 PM

Nice review.
I should be getting my black one some time today.

Case has some good texture to it, for sure.

I haven't used Siedio's Innocases, but by looks and price. I'd go with Incipio.
The only thing incipio doesn't protect, that the Innocase does is the bottom and top black plastics on the front.

I think again, This is a great case.

**rrudeboy** · 04-13-2009, 03:23 PM

it's a decent case for sure, received the black one i ordered on friday this morning... easy in, pretty easy out but not so easy it will fall off....

I like its fit. Very snug, just "clips" in so-to-speak.
I haven't tried pulling it back off yet, just like how it looks.
Do you mind posting some pictures in this thread?
Maybe top - bottom views, I would have but do not have a spare battery for my Camera and it's currently deader than a door nail. Thanks :-)

**Accidental Post** · 04-13-2009, 03:45 PM

I ordered the blue thinking it was dark blue and it wasn't too bright of blue for me.....

**Veritas89** · 04-13-2009, 03:51 PM

My black one should be here tomorrow or the next day! Can't wait!

**bpas1317** · 04-13-2009, 03:54 PM

I also purchased the white case. As a previous owner of the Innocase, I like this case much better. It's cheaper, comes with 2 screen protectors, and overall I like it 100% better.

I like that it shows a small amount of the chrome trim all the way around. I also like how it's all one piece (the innocase is 2 pieces).

If I had one complaint it would be the size of the hole around the charging port. It's kind of large and looks out of place. Other than that I would reccomend this case to anyone looking to protect and pretty up their storm!

I agree with you, best 20 bucks i've spent on this thing.
The USB opening doesn't really bother me? I mean, They could have done away with the "rooftop" shape, but all in all. It's solid.
No little.. uh.. "tabs" to break ;-) lol

Does the phone go in and out of your pocket easily? I previously bought a silicon case and its annoyingly difficult to get in and out of my pockets. Its also black and picks up every single piece of fiber, dust and lint that exists in the universe.

Have you seen any of these problems with this cover?

**bpas1317** · 04-13-2009, 04:17 PM

I keep my phone in my pocket and it slides in and out very easily. It does pickup a decent amount of lint, but what case doesn't? I had the BB silicon case before and it was a PAIN to get in and out of my pocket. This case has a nice smooth texture, but it's not too rubbery.

Not a major fan of plastic little tabs on any case (i.e. BodyGlove's snap case), it makes required disassembly for a battery pull near impossible without breaking something.

**zazzified** · 04-13-2009, 04:20 PM

Glad you like yours as much as I like my purple one!

To the person who asked, it slides in and out of pockets easily and lint free. Nothing like silicone skins.

**BilchThat** · 04-13-2009, 04:20 PM

My old case was black and I'd have to assume the white case probably cuts down on the visibility of the fibers/lint that get picked up... but i guess that depends on the color pants you're wearing!

Thanks for the advice.. I think i'm gonna pick this up

**Justin Rampage** · 04-13-2009, 04:22 PM

I just ordered the black one today with the code: "gap09"

It saved me 20%! $15.99 instead of $19.99. Thanks for the info! It looks like a great case. Can't wait!

Yeah, i had the code entered before check out and it had stated
"Gap employee discount" LOL
I guess my judgement overtook my selfishness in that case
But either way, at 20.00 it's a steal, so at 16.00 It's Theft and murder LOL

**jcgor1** · 04-13-2009, 04:35 PM

I ordered a white one
and recieved it today, overall it seems like a great case.

**djricorich#IM** · 04-13-2009, 04:43 PM

Man this thread is making me very impatient. Lol I ordered mine on saturday

I found the same thing. I actually bought a full (2 piece) hard case. I only kept it on for a few hours. It was so slick that I almost dropped the phone every time I picked it up. I ended up with the clear sticker type BodyGuardz case.
