I’m OC about everything I own, so something like this was mandatory for me. It just arrived today and so far I’ve been completely satisfied. It fits perfectly on the phone.
The the material feels very nice and soft, so you shouldn’t have to worry about the skin itself scratching the phone, and it fits easily over the phone and doesn’t seem to fall off from normal use. Something that you can’t notice in the pictures is that it has outlines/bumps on the skin itself where the side buttons are (volume, mute, etc..) so if you haven’t gotten used to their location, you can still see them on the skin. It also has the BB symbol and Blackberry written/carved into the bottom of the skin. I thought that was a nice touch, and for the pocket-change that I paid for the skin, it’s DEFINITELY worth it. A+ Product.

This a Blackberry-branded product and is very good quality. I compared it to a generic one a friend of mine has and the difference was significant.
Price is great. I wish there were more colors to choose from and I wish the shipping wasn’t twice the price of the cover.
No complaints though. I highly recommend you stick with this OEM product over the inferior generics.
Also, make sure this is the right cover for your Pearl. The older models have a different camera orientation (vertical instead of horizontal).

Very satisfied overall with this product. It looks great and comes in a variety of colors! Slides on with ease and doesn’t dimenish the integrity of the phones design. The only down fall of this product is that the cover makes it difficult to use in my holster due to a tight fit. I can’t speak for all holsters though and I don’t use my holster extensively so I switch back and fourth to accommodate whatever the occasion. Highly recommended!

This is a great addition to your phone if you are looking for a little added protection in case you drop it. It has a snug fit and still provides all the necessary openings to plug in the power cord, etc.
The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is the grip. While it’s great when you are making a call, it can be a pain if you keep your phone in your pocket. The grip makes the unit harder to get out without clinging to everything. Overall though, I’m pleased.

Hello,
Although this seemed like a good idea once, I’ve stopped using it. Why?
1) Friction-ful surface means that it pulls against anything. Try placing it into anything snug which has anything but the slickest surface area, and it’s tug-o-war.
2) Friction-ful surface picks up dust, lint, and other crud instantaneously.
3) No screen protection.
In sum, the rubber is simply too poorly galvanized to be reccomendable. Using the leather sleeve which comes with the Pearl is a much better protective and storage mechanism.
