    Folks,

    Today Adam Zeis posted a blog, Case or No Case, and it got me thinking about cases. What case do you use and what do you think about it? Do you have more than one? What made you get the case you have, protection, features, fashion, all of the above? Lets talk cases!

    I will start. For my Z10 I have 3 cases, a Flip Shell case, a Transformer Hard Shell, and a Seidio Prime. I ended up giving the Flip Shell to my dad, for his Z10. I liked it, but it was not my favorite, good protection, but a bit cumbersome. I still have and use the Hard Shell, which I like, but the protection is not the greatest. Function is better, as it has a flip out position that can be used to prop up the device. The Flip Shell can do this also, but it's not as elegant. However my favorite and daily case is the Seidio Prime. It's got so so protection, BUT it looks great AND it has the best feature of all, and extra 2600mAh of juice!!!!!!

    You can find all of these cases at shopcrackberry....

    I have two...the Transform Shell case for when I'm home, and out in the real world, it's the OEM holster. I've always been a holster fan, they offer a good amount of protection to the screen.

    I'd like to see a video posted on the Seidio Prime Case showing its features, function and application. That looks interesting.

    This is what I use:

    Amazon.com: KaysCase Slim Soft Skin Cover Case for RIM BlackBerry Z10 10 Dev Alpha B Smart Phone (Blue): Cell Phones & Accessories

    The picture of the product looks nothing like what I got! I like mine a lot better. The blue is more BLUE than the purple hue of the pic. It's a matte color and fairly transluscent so I can see the BB symbol on the back, which is a nice touch. The sides around the edges are clear blue in contrast to the matte blue of the back. The entire body of the phone is protected, and the case provides a substantial "lip" around the screen.

    I tried this case first: poetic Atmosphere Case for BlackBerry Z10 | BlackBerry Cases but didn't care for it because it seemed the clear back got grimy fast, and I'm a clean person!

    I then tried this case: Amazon.com: BeeShine Bundle of 8 Color 3D Waterdrop Raindrop Design Hard Skin Snap on Case Back Cover For Blackberry Z10 BB Z10 (Clear White, Clear Smoke, Clear Sky Blue, Clear Dark Blue, Clear Red, Clear Hot Pink, Clear Green, Clear Purple): Cell Ph but I didn't realize that the top and bottom of the device were left exposed, and I thought the case just felt cheap.

    Luckily I was able to pass those onto another Crackberrier who likes them!

    I'm always looking out for other cases, though. I've thought about going back to the Incipio Feather Shine, which I enjoyed using on my SGS3, for example.

    Had the Atmosphere, but miss the feel of the battery door too much xD So bought a leather pouch because it looked cool. But I got shoved while typing and my phone fell, after that I panicked and I bought the borderline bumper case.
    Like it so much I bought in two more colors xD Now I switch between the blue, red and white.


    P.S. How do you do that links thing?

    Aluminium Cate Mate, it's made from this sort of soft plastic that doesn't crack, rather it scrapes the dents into it. Its great and has saved me from several falls. IT also looks half decent.

    Ballistic all the way! Very happy with it. I've dropped it numerous times and the bumper corners work great. Glad I bought it.

    Got two cases. Best one is the Case Mate Barely there in black. Second case was off eBay for my Z10. It's a Nilkin blackberry z10 case. Absolutely amazing case for $7 off eBay.

    I've used 3 cases. Flip which was great for alround protection but a bit cumbersome, transformer which I liked but I loved handling the phone out of the case so now I use the BlackBerry pouch.

    is the nillkin the snap on one like the barely there? what makes you like the barely there, out of curiousity? i liked my nillkin for a while but it's a bit too plasticy feeling and i'm not sure a hard plastic case would even suck up much impact in a fall. was thinking in getting a black incipio feather if it was any more rubbery feeling.

    I've gone through several, but the two I've settled on is the iSkin vibe, and the Seidio Active. They both don't add too much in the way of bulk which is why I like about them. The vibe sees most of the day to day duties, with the Active going on if I think I need a little more protection.

    I use a barely there case from case mate I had a poetic atmosphere but the volume buttons wouldn't really be pressed unless you pressed really hard and now my barely there case works with my ath-m50s

    I love cases. I ways have a few lying around if one breaks. For a case without a holster I have the Case Mate tough and the CB Crunk which do an excellent job of protecting. I also have the Seidio Active and Incipio Ovrmld as I love holsters. I keep looking out for others. Ventev color click wasn't bad if you want a surface like case with a light weight holster.
