The new bold looks pretty solid but I wonder how many people would like/benefit from a shock/waterproof case now that the use of a trackpad instead of a trackball, allows it. It has been confirmed that the trackpad works with a piece of plastic covering it.
The more people would register their interest, the more chances we have somebody would build it

I've gradually moved away from the indestructible cases as I have gone on in my bb life, but I still have not made it to the naked stage
maybe when I get my 9700....then again probably not

There are some cases that allow you to carry your phone and be water proof though. I will track down some links.
I can picture it in my head, a nice slim, custom made case with a soft clear cover over the front, you know the rubber type, fully sealed.
Realistically it shouldn't make the 9700 much bigger then the 9000.
Anything universal is either too big or too small, I would pay for a custom made one.

Obviously it wouldn't be as easy to use as when there's no cover on it but as long as you can write a quick sms or email in the rain, snow, sandstorm etc I'd buy it.

Not for everyday use.
Mostly for outdoor activities�.hunting, fishing, etc. Usually this is done in or near lots of water
. And, that�s when it�s not also raining 
. Sometimes having the phone/GPS capabilities/etc. can be a plus.
I like the looks/price of that Otter Case............waterproof to 100ft. Of course a zip lock bag can always be used in a pinch.10-27-09 03:55 PM - I bought a used ram case off ebay this summer to keep my phone handy on a bike trip(belfast to bucharest/2099 miles in 46 hrs 4 days break then the same on the way back )
It has a flexible clear rubber front so you can still press buttons. It was a little too big and deep but you can buy smaller ones. It's only waterproof when mounted on a ram mount though.
