I thought the days of free holsters and cases were long gone! I don't know about anyone else but I hated those pouches that come with the storm/curve and i always bought a clip and a silicone but now i'll only have to be the silicone, I mean i think it's pretty cool...this is what it says:

if only it was so easy to put a real baby to sleep like my wonderful BBbaby

how does it put it to sleep by the way? Is there a magnetic strip or something or is it because it causes the trackball to be rolled consistently for such a long time?

there is a magnet in the case that trips the phone to go to sleep

I take it this is supposed to happen? Sliding the BB into the pouch puts the phone to sleep. Nice feature.

look at the case

It's not really "free." It's part of what you're paying for. But yeah, it's great that it comes with it.

where did you get that info b/c most carriers will not allow a swivel holster to be provided in the packaging. Normally its just a memory card now

I see you ate paint chips as a child, right?

What the **** do you think came with the 8830?

I see it's a VZW unboxing, but wtf is that to the left of the case? Looks like a international adapter? or is that the actual adapter? Kinda crooked so who knows if they just got a vzw phone and threw it in a international/unlocked box..

the picture shows the holster, hard to see if it is a swivel or not, but it could be.

The Body Glove doesn't, unfortunately. I have been playing with the magnets from my broken holster to try to get that to happen.
