Sena Cases Magnetic Flipper (love this case for my Tour 9630, it protects the whole front of the phone when not in use and activated the sleep function. Has Belt clip too.)

CaseMate Barely there Brushed Aluminum looks nice, doesn't look like it will give much drop protection but it is thin enough that it looks like the Pod charger can stil be used as well as the holster.

I like the Otterbox Commuter you mentioned but it doesn't offer a holster or belt clip option but has superior drop protection.

Seidio traditionally has quality gear but hasn't jumped in for the Bold 9930 yet.

Nice post....I like that brushed aluminium one.

That case mate one looks way to thick. Good protection though if thats what you need.

Great videos and reviews. This will definitely help me pick a case for my Bold 9900.

I, personally like the black OEM hard gel skin in the first video.

Anyone using the BlackBerry OEM hard case? Considering getting that one. Looks pretty sick. Also, looks really simple and thin. I don't like bulky cases at all.

I am debating if I should get the OEM hard gel case / screen protector OR OEM pocket sleeve / screen protector.

The sleeve looks beautiful.

Going to be doing a video review on the OEM hard shell case as well as the Otterbox Defender in the next few days. Stay tuned on my Youtube!

I bought this one in blue, it feels really good and makes your phone stand out from the rest. It's lightweight, thin and probably the same concept as the Case-Mate Barely There.

The OEM hard case doesn't fit in any holster well because of the rubbery sides. I tried it with 4 different ones, including one that's huge; nearly impossible to get it out once it's in there without using two hands.

i had a couple of the hard plastic Case Mate Barely There cases for my Storm2, including one that looked like stainless steel. I do tend to drop phones; the CM BT cases did a good job, and slipped into my Storm2 holster like they were buttered. I'm not sure about the aluminum one, though...

Thanks for the reviews. I'm torn between the Otterbox commuter and CM barely there, how do they compare? Is the Otterbox much thicker than the CM?

Thx
