Default Best case for torch?
I've read many reviews on the otterbox commuter that it messes around with the lock button. But i've also heard this issue with other cases..


case suggestions?

or workarounds for this issue?

The OB commuter is confirmed to mess with the lock button. Seems to be sensitive to many cases. I purchased a few inexpensive cases from daydeals, and the hard ones worked great. The polymer is fantastic, but took a little hot water and manipulation to not have the top buttons held. I'm sure the hard cases sold through the Crackberry store are fine. Not sure if there's an OEM soft case for the 9800.

Otter box works great for me. I like that my lock button does not get tapped so easily especially in my pocket. I used to pull out my torch and see all these apps open due to unlocked in my pocket. I'd rather scratch up the OB than my phone!

Try either the Seidio Innocase Surface or Active case.

Had it for about a year now. Got it after going thru 2 Otterboxes. Liked the Otterboxes cause of the rubber inner case in the bottom piece , but both bezels broke. The AFG GRT has the glide rail, which eliminates almost all of the wiggle (If your phone has that). I'm really happy with it. Would get it again if I had too...

What about Leather Pocket Pouch? Is it good to use on Torch 9800?

I used on Bold 9700 and Curve 8520 and is great, but I can't see it very well on a Torch 9800 because of the slide! Any suggestions?
