I had been looking to get a good case for this phone for the longest time. It's always in my pocket or sitting down beside me somewhere. I wanted something to protect it if it dropped, but still be easy to use. After buying about every case available at the mall kiosks a friend told me about some website called Black Berry Source. Not much of a online shopper, I went ahead and looked at what they have,
BlackBerry Storm Cases. I thought most of them looked pretty standard, but than I came across the leather one with the open faced. I figured I had already spent soo much money on cases, what's $30 going to hurt. When I got the case it fit perfectly and I knew it would be easy to use. I had a concern about the durability of the case, but just today I dropped it while texting (a friend came from behind and scared me). The phone landed on solid concrete and I have looked it up and down and am yet to find a scratch. By far the best case I personally have had, but I am sure there are better if you sacrifice usability for durability.
Just thought I would share...
