BlackBerry Curve 8300, 8310, 8320, and 8330 Leather Swivel Holster-Pitch Black Review
The BlackBerry Curve leather holster was a great price and just what my husband was looking for! It has a streamlined look, easy open top access and visibility. The magnetic strap automatically turns the phone off and on, saving on the battery and avoiding the dreaded unwanted calls to others who then hear all your surrounding noise and conversations while you have no idea the phone has called anyone.

This is the second one we purchased, although it’s the first one from Amazon. The first lasted about a year before the clip broke off. For the price we paid elsewhere, I think it should have lasted longer. But, the price was much better on Amazon and if we need to purchase another one in a year, I think it would be worth it if we get a similar deal.

I just got this case today for my T-Mobile Blackberry Curve 8320 so while this review may be a bit premature, I figured I’d never get around to doing one unless I do it now. The case looks and feels nice. The leather is of good quality but it’s a bit soft. The clip and swivel feel pretty solid so far. The whole case is a bit bulky so this is really only for wearing on your belt. If you flip it around and clip it in your front pocket, it bulks out too much to be comfy. I’d be self conscious of it sticking out. I also bought one of those generic skins and the BB fits fine in this holster even with the skin on. The elastic on the sides of the holster flexs enough to allow it to fit.

Both sides of the holster have a indent to protect the trackball but I find that putting the phone in backwards (screen facing the clip-side) works better. The backside has a long indented track (like the case that came with the blackberry) to protect the trackball but the front side has a fixed indentation point which only protects the trackball when it’s in its fully holstered and lined-up position. I find that putting it in with the screen facing out results in the phone activating and dialing the last call. Although the holster is suppose to disable the keypad and turn off the screen, it doesn’t quite work well with the phone facing frontward. I think it’s just that by the time the magnet sensor is in the right proximity to the phone, the buttons or trackball has already been pushed. Sometime I’ll put it in and the screen will go dark but then when the phone is fully inserted, the screen turns on again, then off again and then dials the last number! So, I’ll just have to stick to putting it in backwards where the trackball is protected the entire length of the holster.
