I don't think I'd use WiFi all that much. One of the reasons I went with Verizon is because of the fast network. I was with T-Mobile and they sucked.

Welcome, this will be your new addiction. I've only have my storm for three weeks and I'm glued to it.

Michael Scott - 04-09-2009, 09:04 AM #13 Your prolly going to pay to much going to Best Buy I would suggest getting things here on Crackberry or at Amazon, at least then you can read what other people thought of the product before you buy it.

Welcome,
I used to use screen protectors but found them a waste of money.
I haven't used one in over 2 months and the screen still looks great, and feels much smoother without.iPhone 3GS on AT&T, Nexus One on T-Mobile - 04-09-2009, 09:07 AM #15 It matters what you want for a case or protector. There are so many variations (sleeves, full covers, full covers with a flap, rubber cases, platics, sleeper magnet) you name it and i'm sure someone can find a case for you. I would avoid going to the store to get a case. Check the crackberry store, they have a better selection of cases. The 3 cases you will get a lot of feedback on are...

1. seido innocase I&II, i prefer II
2. Otter box (provides the most protection for the phone, its a case and screen protector but a bit large.)
3. Vaja cases (look very sleak and are hand made, but will cost alittle more about $90 I believe, but you can search the forum for some discount codes which will drop the price a bit.)
do a search on the forum for each of these for a better description and review.
Edit: I should probably add that I have never used a case and haven't had any issues with scratching or denting. I do have the factory screen cover on still, but will probably be taking it off b/c it looks horrible right now. The factory screen protectors get alot of a scratches on them. On my first storm (this is my 3rd) I never used a screen protector and never had any issues with it.Last edited by Rch1214; 04-09-2009 at 09:09 AM.
"Business to business. The old fashion way. No blackberries. No websites. I would like to see a website deliver baskets of food to people." Michael Scott - 04-09-2009, 09:08 AM #16 Check out the innocase I or II on the SEIdio website. I have the II with the holster. Good combo. I just use the verizon screen protector. They are decent and last. If you don't want a skin on it get the seidio holster for no cased storm. Originally Posted by SinSoWell Ahh, thanks guys. I feel the love.
