Default Case suggestions

So I just got the Case Mate Barely There case and It's a good case but I have changed my perspectives on what I want from my case. At first, I got this so that it will work with my dock. However, it does not charge when docked. Then I decided that I rather have a case that gives it more protection.

So I am asking for suggestions for cases that fit the follow criterias:
1. Fairly thin and not too bulky
2. Soft texture (I had a case before that felt like gel and it felt comfortable to use or maybe a leather case)
3. Decent protection (This case doesn't protect the top, bottom, or front)

I've looked but just am not sure about the texture of the cases such as Otterbox Commuter or the Case Mate Tough Case.


Thanks in advance!

Check out the BlackBerry branded soft shell case. It meets all the criteria you're looking for.

I use the OEM soft shell and it is a very good case for the money it costs.

I am also currently waiting on the OEM hard shell after reading good reviews of it.

Could not agree more. It fits the 9930 like a glove but is very easy to remove for dock charging. And it's pretty thin while still being protective.

Thanks for the suggestions but those two cases aren't quite what I am looking for. Anyone else have other suggestions? Thanks!

Edit: Oh and to clarify, when I say gel I do not mean the ones that feel like TPU. I personally don't think those feel too good on the hands. Thanks!

Use the pouch the phone comes with, people always advertise and argue how thin and sexy their phone is then they throw on a inch of otterbox plastic... What's in ure pockets people? I have no case just a 2 dollar screen protector I got on ebay its very thin and if my phone gets scratched ill buy a new housing for 5 bucks on ebay big deal.

Trust me, it did not work. Search the forums and you will see that others are reporting that it works with some docks and not others. (even though they are all bb oem docks)

Edit: Maybe I'll just go buy another dock but try it out in stores to make sure it works so I can do what I originally planned to do.
