    I found an interesting issue, if u take the phone out of the case and rest the phone on top of the case, it also goes into standby,lift it off and it wakes up. Probably nothing can be done about that.

    It's the magnet inside. In the "teardown", it's the round bump on one of the sides.

    With my swivel holster, I can pick up coins with the magnet if I don't jostle it too much. This might do the same.

    Yep not an issue that's what it's designed to do.

    I really like mine, but it scratches the bottom of my Z39 screen, I'm NOT a fan of that lol. I even changed screen protectors to make sure, and it is the case. So I must be doing something wrong lol

    Got a creaky one here too, but only when it's empty. Once the Z30 is inside, the creakiness stops.

    Hmm, mine doesn't scratch the phone, that would really suck . I like that it turns off when u rest it on top, don't have to press the button.



    Z30, and yes, it's a bit on the heavy side..., but the Carbonate case is Killer!

    I'm finding that on the bottom right corner of my screen there's some scratches on my screen protector, that I'm pretty sure its from sliding my Z30 in and out of the pocket.

    Anyone else noticing this?

    I notice the little scratches near the bottom of the screen on the screen protector. My Z30 still has the factory screen protector with the red tab on it and this may just be for shipping protection and not made out of a scratch resistant plastic. When I find a proper screen protector, I will post if it scratches that too.

    I have a proper screen protector on mine and its fine, no scratches.

    Anyone thought that maybe blackberry made a few versions of samples and sent us different ones for testing? As mine also has the foam inside and I read in this post some don't.

    Shld not be right.. how to make reasonable comparison if there are many versions of the same casing? Was wondering if the reasons to have a two piece case is to allow it to be mix and match cases. Just a thought.

    I'd like to see images of this "foam", I wonder if we're just giving incorrect names to the same "soft inner lining"?

    Guys received mine on the 4th day of posting and really awesome on my z30, awesome in terms of colour and fits the z30 nicely since the phone is a mini tablet replacing our lost playBook.
    It looks sleek on a weekend outing with z30 inside

    Picked up my case from FedEx today, From the pictures I had seen, I was expecting a dark grey colour. I was very happy to see the colour is actually what I would call Black, and suits the phone just fine. So far very happy with the case, it looks like it will serve me well for many years and protect my phone from life's little opppses

    Looked at mine with a loupe. It is a matted type material, probably made out of some type of soft synthetic fiber.

    Like the case but wish it did not expose the top edge of phone. Also a bit bulky. Do like the look though.

    Can you still get this case from BlackBerry? I bought a Z30 today and don't see it in the Beta Zone. Is there something else I should do? (sweet freaking phone btw!)

    Anybody know if or when this case will be available. I'm pretty disappointed by the current selection. Bought the pouch and Transformer and both are really not up to standard tbh

    I have one I may be interested in selling. Make me an offer. Keep in mind I would have to ship it as well, and that costs money.

    I appreciate the response but your initial price that you sent me about a month or two ago definitely turned me off at $75 plus shipping. USPS can be done for about 5-8$ and I think the case would be reasonable in the $30 range especially if someone isn't using it. If not I will keep looking.

    First of all, I'm in Canada, so that becomes international shipping. Of course it's cheaper if you want to wait longer.

    But I can't let it go for 30 dollars, it's a pretty rare case.

    I'm thinking more 50-60
