    My White Z30 is very difficult to hold with the slippery back door.

    I am wondering if the OEM BlackBerry black back cover is grippier?

    I saw a leather cover available for the Z10. Is anyone making leather for the Z30?

    Finally about cases. I really liked the BlackBerry Transform Hard Shell for the Z10. The case seems different for the Z30. But I'm thinking of giving it a go.

    Is rather go with the phone naked and use the BlackBerry holster but I'm not trusting myself.

    Any ideas or experiences would be great. Thanks.

    I went with the transform case. And ordered a black door just for the hell of it.

    Would love a leather door though.

    Also would love an oversized z30 holster that would work with a small non bulky case.

    I've got the white Z30 as well. While I often like the safety of my otterbox I do have the leather flip case which is awesome for what you are looking for I think. It's quite grippy and looks really nice. I just dont like it because the flop cover is sort of awkward to hold it when taking photos or using it as a sat-nav in my car.

    I have heard the black back is gripper. I'm tempted to buy one as well. I think it's like the back of a Q10.

    Hey thanks! I'll definitely update you on what the black cover is like. It's a shame we can't go to any physical store to find these things out.

    The feel of the case you have sounds like what I'd like. It's got a classy look to it for sure. Not sure if it would work for me though - but not ruling it out. I'll wait and see how things work with the things I've ordered and go from there.

    Really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

    I just received the black back door for my new white Z30. The black back is little better than the slick white back. I do like it better, but it is not near the gripping power of the Z10.

    I have ordered some special clear gripping tape...should get it in a few days. I will update on it when it arrives. I really needing something close to the Z10 to be able to be secure enough to use it naked. I like the swivel holster and need it to be able fit that case as well.

    I know what you mean about wanting a holster that can fit a slim case. That would be great!

    Thanks for the info. I was wondering if the back was like the Z10. I'd love a leather backed door.
