Any cases available that only cover the edges for drop protection? Or has anyone successfully modded a case to make it edges only? Don't want to lose the soft touch back...

Try the OEM soft shell, it has the same pattern, as the phone itself.

[Xmeatizmurderx]

thanks I will go with that one

[Xmeatizmurderx]

hmm... seems to be vaporware

This case is really hard to find though. I can't find it anywhere online within the U.S.

OK what about the OEM dual layer shell? I've been using this one for some time now, quite like it.

Does it have a good feel to it? I just don't want to completely lose the feel of my keyone but I know if I don't get a case I will destroy it

It's really smooth. I love the feel of the keyone back so I just use a pouch.

The dual layer shell has a soft touch polyurethane outer surface. This feels like the outer surface of many laptops and other electronics today. It is smooth but it does provide for some grip. What I like about it is that it retains it's shape well, keeping it's edges straight, unlike a TPU/silicone/rubber skin that may not have perfectly straight edges (but often better grip).

Yeah I'm not a fan of rubbery TPU but I think I could deal with the soft touch poly. Since it's made by BlackBerry I guess I can trust it not to be too cheap feeling

skinomi skins are nice. I've orders one but the delivery time is long.

I modified this case
https://www.amazon.ca/Blackberry-Sil...UvbUpU13076160

I took the clear plastic out. Just slowly and gently peel the rubber away from the hard clear plastic. Then I used an x-acto knife to cut away the upper rubber where it says 'auto focus' and made the thickness uniform all around the perimeter.

I also used the knife to cut along either side of the button rockers. This makes pressing the buttons much easier.

I've dropped the phone a bunch of times on various surfaces, (cement from 4-5ft) and the bumper works perfect. I would only replace it if someone came out with an actual bumper.

Do you happen to have a picture? Thanks.

I splurged on a Tetded case, I like!

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Have you checked out the Incipio cases for the KEYᵒⁿᵉ? They have great drop protection and have different styles available.

Incipio does not make a bumper case. A bumper case is something that only protects the perimeter of the phone.
