Looking at cases for my newly acquired replacement 8330. I work in a dust filled environment but use my phone to talk to my management peers all night.
Want/need a case that is provide durability and protection but still have functionality.
As part of the Defender Series line the OtterBox 1935 for BlackBerry Curve 8330 is a semi-rugged, fully-interactive case that enables complete usability of the trackball and camera in a sleek, slim fit design for distinguished protection. Defender Series: Bringing sexy back! A distinct line of semi-rugged, slim fit cases that offers complete user interaction in an attractive look and feel. Cases shield from dust, dirt and drops in a thin yet protective design. Great for people on-the-go and those looking to defend their device without added bulk!
Ideal for frequent travelers, business professionals and everyday enthusiasts. Three protective layers provide bump, scratch and drop protection:
Layer 1: Thermal formed protective clear membrane to safeguard screen and keyboard against scratching as well as dust and dirt* (layer optional depending on the level of ruggedization desired).
Layer 2: Hi-impact polycarbonate shell.
Layer 3: Silicone skin absorbs bump and shock (silicone includes innovative retaining features to hold it in place).
Personally I found that no case is best. Both silicone and rubber attracted dust and lint. Leather trapped stuff. No case I just wipe off and all is good. And I work at a paintball field, so I know dirty!
i have a 8330 curve and the otterbox works awsome I'm a welder so that is enough said protection A++ For problems with air bubbels use a tiny bit of soap and water on the screen only and a credit card to get bubbles out
