Default Case-Mate "Barely There" Case Review for Storm 2

YouTube - Case-Mate Barely There for Blackberry Storm 2 Unboxing/Initial Review

It is a really awesome case for those looking for basic protection. The corners are covered and it gives basic bump protection.

I'm open for any questions you may have in the mean time if you are thinking about getting the case.

Case-Mate BlackBerry Storm2 9550 Barely There Cases (Case-Mate BB9550BT), BlackBerry Storm2 9550 Cases, Holsters, Skins, and Accessories in Premium Leather

Unfortunately, CrackBerry doesn't stock the case, so I wasn't able to order mine from there.

That's exactly the type of case I'm looking for. Unfortunately, they're not offered in red >_<. What color did you order yours in? Could you post up a picture of it on your phone instead of the rendering they have on the website?

edit: Also what material is made of? Metal, plastic, etc

As soon as the video is uploaded, I will take a full plethora of pics. (SD card is occupied with the upload)

It is a plastic material with a matte finish on the back.

I ordered mine in the Deep Blue Matte color.

Hm I may look into the matte black one. The blue looked pretty good in the render. Does it look pretty similar in person? The photo they give is pretty vivid

Hm I kinda wish they offered it in red. I guess blue will have to do though. The silver looks like it would be **** for fingerprints haha

Sick. I'll probably be ordering the case tonight if all goes well. I wonder if there are any plans to produce a red colored case

Damn, looks good, I was waiting for an Incipio feather, this may be just the next best thing, and available now. I will check the video, if it is just like the feather, I am ordering.

It is just like the feather, but honestly, built better. I had a feather for my ipod touch, and it cracked. This feels stronger.

Guarantee it wasn't the Case-Mate one. It wasn't only recently released.

Do they still offer them? What did you pay for yours?

Also the youtube video isn't working for me for some reason. I'm going to try in FF instead of Chrome and see I can view it then
