I was considering doing the same thing, but I eventually figured that putting a screen protector on would be too much of a hassle in order to make it perfect, and a keyboard cover can't hurt. It's your choice, but I would go with the 360.

Thanks so much for your input! Very much appreciated! I think I'll try the 360. Just to clear things up...I have the PhantomSkin but have not applied it yet. Sorry if I was unclear. Good day to all...

Thanks, again, for the comments!

Correct. Typing in the dark is not a problem at all. I make mention of this in my follow-up review.

this is, hands down, the most hideous case for the blackberry tour i've ever seen...well maybe not as bad as the otterbox defender. seidio and aesthetics don't seem to go along well

All I can say to this is that you shouldn't knock it before you've held it in your own hands. The pictures do not do it justice.

I can tell you're speaking as a person who likes their phone to be seen. That's not the purpose of this case. This case is more about function and purpose, than it is looks. For what it is intended to do, it looks very good doing it in my opinion... and that is to protect your phone all around for those times you need it kept safe. Plain and simple.

Couldn't have said it better myself

Rock on, Kingzee!

I've tried several protectors- form skins, to snap on cases - and the Seidio Innocase II - the 360 is by far the best of them- although I also really like the Body Glove- a little Bulky bit Fantastic grip ! The 3650 I think would be even more perfect if was a bit more like the Innocase II as I liked the slip on feature that allowed easy access to the battery door rather than having to completely uncover the 36t0 (or the Body Glove for that matter). If the 360 had the Innocase Slip on feature - it would be perfect. The trak ball is a little recessed for my fat fingers- but I'll get used to it !

Overall- I like the complete protection.

Hey everyone, I have two new reviews coming out very soon!

[Eclipse2K]

I received my Innocase 360 and the first thing I noticed was how difficult the trackball was to use when it was recessed into the case. I didn't care for the screen protector or the backlight dimness with the case applied. I popped the screen protector out as it drove me nuts and I'll be putting on a PhantomSkinz to protect the screen. I'll only use this case when I'm going to be in rougher situations because I highly prefer my Innocase II to the 360.

Wow, wonderful review! I was just gonna buy myself the spring clip holster to use with my Incipio Feather, but after seeing your pics of the 360, I just took the plunge and got myself the 360/holster combo. Thanks!

I was wondering, anyone who has this case, how shock resistant is it? If I were to drop it on concrete would it protect the phone or does the case come apart easily enough that the case will just pop right off if the phone is dropped?

Great Review!

I've tested this out and the case pops off, but like race cars are built to come apart on impact, I think this case is built to absorb the shock and pop off, breaking the fall of your phone.

The ONLY issue I've had with mine (which I've had for a couple of months) is that after a while the keyboard cover stretched out and created sort of a "bubble" making it difficult to type on the keyboard. I contacted Seidio's customer service, and they sent me a brand new case within days.

All in all, I have to say that this is a fantastic case, and coupled with Seidio's customer service, I don't think my money was ill spent. I'm very happy with it.
