Its no secret that BlackBerry users sometimes struggle to get through a day one just one charge. Extra or extended batteries can only go so far, and having to plug-in every time you find an outlet isn't ideal. Enter the Case-Mate Fuel Case. This amazing case not only holds your Bold 9700 and keeps it secure, it also adds "fuel" by giving you up to and additional 7 hours of talk time (or 20 hours of stand-by time). Hit the jump for more on this awesome accessory and to see what else is new this week.
With the Case-Mate Fuel Case, you don't need to worry about swapping batteries or endlessly searching for a wall outlet in which to charge your device. You can carry your BlackBerry in the case itself, and when you start to get low on juice, flip the Fuel Case on and it will give you that extra go. For users that carry their device in a case already, the Fuel Case is only a bit larger than most other hard cases, so you won't even be adding that much "bulk" onto what you already carry. Knowing that you have that extra power will let you make it through a busy day without the worry of your device running out of power.
The Fuel Case is a great alternative for carting around extra batteries as well. Having a supply of backup batteries is great, but having to swap them out and risk missing important calls or emails while your device is rebooting may not be the best bet. And if you're not the most organized, keeping track of them (or remembering to charge them) might not be the easiest task. You would need to either charge the battery in the device itself, or get an external battery charger as well. With the Fuel Case you only have one unit to worry about and thats that. Check out more on the Case-Mate Fuel Case (which is also available for the Tour, Bold 9000 and Curve 8900) at ShopCrackBerry.com.

Well since I travel almost every other week and spend some "lovely" days (and nights) in airports this would help out so much! Plus while on the plane I won't lose charge!
bigfil Feb 16, 2010 at 7:01 pm
This unit leaves nothing to be desired. The extra battery life alone would be worth paying for. We could probably go for a week between charges. It was indispensable on the original bold and would just rock on the 9700.
Roscopcoletrain Feb 16, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Honestly, the 9700 gets such great battery life, this really is just overkill lol. But hey, great for when you;re on the road and forget your charger!
Yes please :)
davidnyc Feb 16, 2010 at 2:38 pm
I travel quite a bit, and nothing makes me sadder than seeing the 'low battery' warning on my Bold 9700.
mail2aj Feb 16, 2010 at 2:39 pm
I'll take one - thank you :)
kameleon Feb 16, 2010 at 2:39 pm
OH MY how I needed this for my Bold 9000. I am a heavy data user and most days I end up having to leave the phone connected to a usb charging cable. While the 9700 is better at battery life, I can still put it through its paces. I would LOVE to be able to not have to worry about, oh crud... did I bring that extra charger with me? Plus with the 9700 being a micro-usb plug the chances of finding someone with a spare cable/charger are slim. Having a fuel case would free me from the anxiety of a dead battery. That would be pure awesomeness!
gdjr23 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:39 pm
This is a definetly a must have accessory for those in the corportate world that are constantly on the go.
bwbell85 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:41 pm
i would love this!
quantumguy Feb 16, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire!
batrad Feb 16, 2010 at 2:42 pm
One word .. Ugly...
robarias Feb 16, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Carrying the charger plus laptop and accessories is a problem. This would help me get rid of cables extra batteries and extra chargers.. I would travel liter :)
jchanaga Feb 16, 2010 at 2:44 pm
As a traveling IT professional, I'm constantly on the road, traveling between client meetings and the airport. Having a Fuel Case would greatly improve my mobility and allow me to travel lighter without a car power adapter in my computer case. I've lost too many power adapters in rental cars!
Diggs31 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:44 pm
everyone always wants more power, why not take a shot at getting some more for free, lol
The_New_Dude Feb 16, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Would love the extra juice!! ;)
DervMan Feb 16, 2010 at 2:45 pm
This gadget will be great for camping trips - I spend half my summer living out of a tent! ;-)
tfrankson Feb 16, 2010 at 2:45 pm
would help me throughout my day by giving me a piece of mind knowing my bb will always be secure and safe on my waiste.
matholamew Feb 16, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I would love this Fuel Case so I could get 3 or 4 days life out of one nights charge. The 9700 has amazing battery life, it would be great to make that an even better battery life.
moshpitpal Feb 16, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Pick me please.
redbadger Feb 16, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Cool case. Enter me for this one!
syb0rg Feb 16, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I can haz caze?
juandavid Feb 16, 2010 at 2:46 pm
If it can be configured so that the device will go into bedside mode rather than sleep/standby mode. If you can just lay the Blackberry and Case-Mate Fuel Case on a table, it would help on time measured activities such as meetings, interviews and therapeutic sessions. This would be much handier and more portable than using the charging pod.

Guitarinsight Feb 16, 2010 at 2:46 pm
To have this would just be incredible!
I sell guitar on eBay and spend my day using tons of data. I answer emails, check my auctions and text message.
I was at Disney World last month and while on an iPhone, ran out of juice while contacting a potential buyer. Needless to say...I switched back to the BB and use the 9700 now.
Please consider me for the contest and I appreciate your offer.
5deep Feb 16, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I'm a heavy BB user this would help me alot.
Thanks CRACKBERRY.
3CISSBB Feb 16, 2010 at 2:47 pm
I would love to have one of these.
nedu09 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:48 pm
no more charge cables to carry around everywhere. would be a dream.
rizzzzoooo Feb 16, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I would love to get my hand son one of these. Would help me a lot. It would mean I could leave my different chargers I have in my office and car at home and not have to deal with all of those wires to get me through a typical 14 work day! Yay!!
Thanks.
RamRod Feb 16, 2010 at 2:50 pm
This is good for the traveler or the all nighter partying out!
Isteinberg Feb 16, 2010 at 2:50 pm
I travel about 40 percent of my time and I am a heavy user of my 9700. I am always looking for places to top off my battery so this would be my own personal charging station. It would rock!
brendan90 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:52 pm
As much as I use data day to day, and as much as I travel weekly, this would be absolutely amazing! As monstrous as the 9700's battery is already, this would take a load off (for those situations we all get into where you're stuck...without an outlet. T_T)
seafarer76#cb Feb 16, 2010 at 2:52 pm
This would be great for those days when I am out in the field with spotty reception an therefore horrible battery life.
appolusionist Feb 16, 2010 at 2:54 pm
It is always on that most important phone call when the freakin' radio turns off due to low battery. I know I am not alone on that. :)
Lawrence26 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:55 pm
As an upcoming college student in the fall working two jobs to get by I barely have time to charge my phone. The battery is always on low and between the Twitter updates and the emails I receive and send out my phone dies very quickly. The Case-Mate Fuel Case is perfect for my phone.
carolynsbaby8901 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:57 pm
I run a bar with my best friend. So I'm constantly emailing/texting vendors, suppliers, and my staff. This would really help out because it would give me a few extra hours at the beginning of each day if i happen to fall asleep with out plugging up my phone, which happens alot!!
2repou Feb 16, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Very interesting item. My GF is on her phone for work all day (I am for fun;) This would be an awesome item for her
nawy13 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:57 pm
The Case-Mate will give me hours of sanity in all the chaos of family gathering. Please, please, please.
exwindchaser Feb 16, 2010 at 2:58 pm
I don't normally enter these, but I would really love to have this case! My job happens to be in a bit of a bad signal area, so my battery life is not what it should be. I'll usually have to hook it up half way through the day and give it a little boost. This case would really help me out when I'm going from class to class checking up on my students at the end of the day and on the long bus commute home.
Prince_Poppycock Feb 16, 2010 at 2:58 pm
Awesome contest!
aznhomieboi1689 Feb 16, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Being a pre-dental student isn't easy. There are a lot of obligations, responsibilities, and volunteer work to be done. All these things happen daily and being a Bio major already a senior who is also working, needs a break.
I use my BB everyday for many reasons. Whether to check important emails from professors or to use it as an organizer reminding me of all the things I have going on. It is basically my student life. But under stress and all this work, I may forget to charge my precious BB and often it runs out of batteries. It would be a tremendous help to me if I can just get that extra powerboost when that time comes, I mean school is hard enough already, but my BlackBerry is what keeps me sane.
Please consider my entry.

gambier82 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Oh please oh please
let me win the case
It's something that I need
I can't count the ways
As good as the bold
seems to be
It's getting a bit old
When I see
The battery bar
going down down down
When navigating my car
It makes me frown
My wifes 8330
Seems to last all day
She makes fun of me
That's all I'll say
Crackberry, with your compassion
I can end this duel
I can also be in fashion
With a brand new Fuel!
joetate Feb 16, 2010 at 3:00 pm
MY WIFE ALWAYS HOGS MY CHARGER!!!!!!
charlyee Feb 16, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Would be very helpful for me on job sites.
chynnamann Feb 16, 2010 at 3:02 pm
The wife and I share a charger and she is always charging hers which leaves me nervous! This would help BIG TIME! =)
zkyevolved Feb 16, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Well, while traveling this would totally help me :D Let's see if I can win THIS time! I never win :(. hehe.
craigdolson Feb 16, 2010 at 3:04 pm
I travel constantly for my job. I recently got a Bold 9700 and this would complete my accessories pack I recently bought. (pod, travel charger, screen protectors) etc.. With the functionality of the 9700, i don't always take my laptop with me, as i can read documents on the device and stay in constant communication through BBM, email and Nimbuzz.. This would make it much easier to take care of business and not have to worry about always running low on battery power on those quick overseas trips.
I have entered to win several items recently but have not been the lucky name chosen. Hopefully my luck will change with this...
Thanks..
nsspagent Feb 16, 2010 at 3:05 pm
Between using my bold for work, music, and exercise programs, I'm always running out of battery life. This would help greatly!
Laureanne Feb 16, 2010 at 3:06 pm
What neat idea! I would love a case with power
LostPuma Feb 16, 2010 at 3:07 pm
the case will help me because it will hold my phone, thus freeing up one of my hands which will then DOUBLE my productivity. it's science. :)
armon_p Feb 16, 2010 at 3:07 pm
they say the 9700 gets great battery life but it can't keep up with my twitter and email habits. I might make it a whole day or two without plugging in
ronin2046 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I would definitely benefit from this case when travelling.
ldcmobile Feb 16, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I loved the 9000 bold case, and it truly was a necessity when trying to last just a day, but even with the great battery life of the 9700 between podtrapper, foursquare, tweetgenius, socialscope, and scoremobile, I'm low by the evening
WMC21 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:09 pm
I know my device is in good hands if its in the Fuel Case..
Brownday Feb 16, 2010 at 3:09 pm
I'll try this!
xsmidgiex Feb 16, 2010 at 3:09 pm
My father never puts his Blackberry Bold down and never stops getting emails. He has to stay in contact with everyone as he is the pastor of a church. He charges his phone at any spare moment but sometimes forgets. The extra power would help his aging mind when he forgets to charge up the well used Bold.
crackberry_02 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I'll be traveling all next week during the TOC conference and would really enjoy not having to worry about "Fueling" my Bold!
Thanks
stardomains Feb 16, 2010 at 3:11 pm
I like to browse a lot with the new Opera Mini Beta. This would add time to that which would be very nice.
tovey86 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:13 pm
im for always having to keep my plus charger with me, im a retail brand manager with traveling back for to cardiff and london emails, msn, bbm and music and internet the battery dosnt last long and well as contecting to the net work every time it zones out on the train draisn power too, this product woulod be LOVED big time.
rugbyua9#cb Feb 16, 2010 at 3:13 pm
This would greatly be useful for my long days of spending countless hours on CrackBerry.com! Surfing on this website occupies me for hours and fuel for my BB would definitely help!!!!!!
04carmines Feb 16, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Between listening to XM Radio, Nobex Radio Companion, Slacker Radio, and watching video's in my spare time, the standard BB battery doesn't stand a chance of making it through a day. This case would make my whole life better!
jedly Feb 16, 2010 at 3:14 pm
i travel to remote locations that sometimes dont let me charge up so this would be great.
Houshinto Feb 16, 2010 at 3:14 pm
I'm a heavy user so I always feel more comfortable with a backup battery.
The fact that the extra battery is integrated into the case is great as I don't have to worry about carrying, fumbling or losing an extra battery.
Truly, this is a Powerloader Exosuit for the 9700 and I'd love it on mine.
harsh#cb Feb 16, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Wow... For people who keep traveling and make a lot of use of GPS etc. along with regular phone features, this looks like a great add-on to make sure the phone is ON until you reach home at the end of the day :)
sogaduch#CB Feb 16, 2010 at 3:15 pm
I would really love to have this case especially since I work only 12+ hr shifts and constantly use my blackberry with e-mails and spreadsheets so hopefully I will win so I can keep my crackberry fully charged all the time.
Lmoises Feb 16, 2010 at 3:16 pm
i will love this for my bold thanks in advanced.
thewaffle Feb 16, 2010 at 3:18 pm
I run a computer repair/training business, and I tend to spend 5+ hours a day on the phone, add into that constant emails/BBM conversations, I tend to need an extra battery halfway through the day. A casemate fuel for the 9700 would be quite beneficial for me. Especially if I ever have to go on a 2 day trip and don't need/want to bring a charger with me.
Crackberrier09 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:18 pm
I'd like to have one :)
PETESAKE Feb 16, 2010 at 3:18 pm
I Would Love this!!!
pastorglen Feb 16, 2010 at 3:20 pm
I'm a pastor who uses his BlackBerry Bold constantly. When I'm out and about visiting people in the hospitals and at their homes, I cannot afford to run out of power! I log each visit as I go, and don't drive far enough to use the car charger. So having the Fuel Case would help a great deal!
So, for the love of God(!), award me the case!
thejoberg Feb 16, 2010 at 3:21 pm
with a fuel case I could listen to my podcasts all day and all night
crazy_canuck1980 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:23 pm
it would be great to have one less thing to worry about when traveling as much as I do.
serpico Feb 16, 2010 at 3:23 pm
We are crackberry fanatics and this would surely help her since she always forgets her charger at home! A blackberry dying on that last bb messenger reply is DEATH!
gizmojoc Feb 16, 2010 at 3:23 pm
That's a great case, just perfect for me, I get out of my house at 6:30am and get back like at 11:00pm...hope I get it...
Ryan_Schooler_BBTour Feb 16, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Just got a new bold 9700 through work and this would safe my live during the day!!!
excessfat Feb 16, 2010 at 3:25 pm
The extra juice would be awesome!
Pathtek4 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Work in dialysis, and my phone drops out of my pocket, need to fix this
doughboyy Feb 16, 2010 at 3:28 pm
battery often gets close to dying after everyday use
creef1014 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:28 pm
right now i have to travel wil a wall charger and a car charger everywhere i go because I spend so much time on the phone...this would greatly reduce my carrying load...help a brotha out
chosen1_88 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Due to power constraints, I've had to limit my usage of my BB, so this case will actually help me use my BB to it's full potential.
I currently have a charging dock (with it's own charger), a travel charger, car charger, second battery and external charger. Even while running my phone on EDGE mode, I still get at best a day's worth of usage. With the use of my A2DP Bluetooth stereo headset, it just makes it worse. I've already switched back to a case with a sleeper magnet to hope that that'll save power, but it hasn't really changed the device's power consumption a whole lot.
A case-mate fuel case won't completely solve everything for me, but at least it'll let me use my device at it's fullest for a whole day.
galambo Feb 16, 2010 at 3:32 pm
I get over 300 emails a day (I monitor a number of listservs/twitter/linkedin feeds for work) so of course the battery dies. Then when switching to a new battery, you know what happens. I miss a call. Why is it you always get a call when you are switching batteries. There must a an hidden BB app that notifies your important contacts that now is the time to call because he is switching batteries. (Or maybe I am being a LITTLE paranoid???) ('But there is an app for that' to quote a commercial)
This would help a LOT
jncryer Feb 16, 2010 at 3:33 pm
On the road a lot, use my bb tons at work. An extra charge would help me rely less on chargers and adapters
Delrahim69 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:33 pm
This is awesome, they need it for all Blackberrys. I am on the road and sometimes do not have chance to charge phone, this would keep me going and help me not miss those important calls or emails.
joski Feb 16, 2010 at 3:33 pm
I never thought I'd see a case that I actually like! Looks good.
rchartier Feb 16, 2010 at 3:34 pm
I could use one of these bad boys. My 9700 would love it!
max2770 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Well, I'm a paramedic and I sometimes work 2 shifts in a row... And I sometimes have important calls to make with my phone and it's a real problem when the battery is out ! I totally want that case, but I can't afford it...
jharo Feb 16, 2010 at 3:39 pm
I have to charge my BB at least twice a day. I would love to no have to do that anymore.
squished18 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:40 pm
This is a great idea. Days when I'm travelling seem to really put the pressure on my battery life. The Case-Mate Fuel would be great on those mad rushes through the airport.
Pdeguzman23 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:40 pm
The Bold 9700 is my first BB and I absolutely love it. I'm a personal trainer and I need this case because I have nowhere to charge my phone while I'm with a client. At the same rate, my phone has to stay on me during my sessions because I have to travel to various locations and I have to be aware of any changes on my next appointment. Google calendars are synced to my Bold and long battery life is a top priority. This case would be the perfect solution for efficiency during my work day. I don't have the luxury of being @ a desk where I can stay charged during the work day.
artheman Feb 16, 2010 at 3:40 pm
this case would help me for a couple of reasons. FOr one i use my bb all day so it gets close to running out but the fact of the matter is that no one likes to see the battery meter down low. As a business man in NYC I always struggle to keep my phone in a snug place and as i run around the city, i get hit many times. This case will provide the protection I need and the longevity I desire for my 9700
rpanicke Feb 16, 2010 at 3:41 pm
I really need this case! Hook me up
Prafeston Feb 16, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Sign me up for one of these!
Artwerks Feb 16, 2010 at 3:41 pm
As I work outside every weekend, I sometime forget my charger at home and this battery pack should be sufficient to get me through the second day as I rely on my cellphone at work!
nm1k0 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:41 pm
I'd love one of these things. I normally and just making it through by the end of the day I have to plug in immediately. I use my blackberry a lot at work and school for just about everything. I'm on my blackberry more than I am on my computer. I could definitely use this.
yanosh94 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:41 pm
i want this to put in my car for emergency charging
shotgurl Feb 16, 2010 at 3:42 pm
This case would help me because my charger in my car doesn't work and hasn't for years :( so if i forget to charge my phone at night im screwed. i would love this case :)
boondocker Feb 16, 2010 at 3:44 pm
my wifes bold constanly dies, she has a charger at work, in my car, her car, in the bedroom, downstairs, everywhere! this would be great for at the cottage or the hiking day trips we take, please pick me ive wanted to get her one of tehse for soooo long!
tjsrobinson Feb 16, 2010 at 3:44 pm
no extended battery, a lot of time away from desk, would be wonderful addition to my new bold's backside!
killerxmic Feb 16, 2010 at 3:46 pm
I cold call a lot, all day and even while driving. The Case-mate would definitely give me more talking time without having to charge in the middle of the day.
element526 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Instead of having to walk around with a charger I could be constantly charged from the holster.
weihnachtshase Feb 16, 2010 at 3:47 pm
With the words of our beloved hero:

So please, empower me...!
talk2dawnie@gmail.com Feb 16, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Just when I thought that my blackberry couldn't get any better. I am a CRACKBERRY addict and have been for some years now...my first blackberry was the 6250 and my friends have pretty much all been converted to blackberries now over the years. I am a WALKING advertisement so picking me would LITERALLY increase the sales of this case. I love my blackberry and use it for EVERYTHING even down to my grocery list when I am shopping...the only thing that could make it any better is having the battery last long longer and now this case makes that possible. Pick me as the winner and I will even post pics of me with my new case on my twitter and facebook accounts...trust me I am what you need to really get the word out there...:)
ofcpa Feb 16, 2010 at 3:52 pm
This would help me immensely! I work 12hr shifts and I'm in the civil service field. I don't like to carry a car charger because it has a tendency to disappear (go figure). I would like not to have to recharge during my shift. I think this casemate holder is AMAZING!
Jaredhumphrey Feb 16, 2010 at 3:52 pm
by the end of my workday my phone is at about 10% battery left this would alow me to not have to be so conservative towards the end of the day
carlesgd Feb 16, 2010 at 3:54 pm
After a long day, every time I go out for drinks at night my bold runs out of battery. With the case-mate fuel, the battery could last til 6am when I get home!
weasle71 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:54 pm
this is one must have case for any RIM enthusiast!
chris82079 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:56 pm
As an IT consultant i am on my phone all day everyday. Between 3 email addresses, phone calls, text and BBM i go through a full charge by 2pm......Please can I have it?
wkupike2000 Feb 16, 2010 at 3:57 pm
I'm always on the road for work and it's often extremely hard to find ways to charge my 9700 as I hate car chargers.
allan1850 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I think this is a very nice case for the Bold. I would love it.
Mr Fun Feb 16, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Hope to win
bobdobbins Feb 16, 2010 at 4:02 pm
as a heavy user I always carry a spare battery in my pocket. However, I hate that switching out batteries takes a good ten minutes with reboot because I have so much stuff on my BlackBerry. this is the perfect solution, i can haz pick plz?
jbtarheel23 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:03 pm
When I forget my charger going home for the weekend from college!
Jason Vorheez Feb 16, 2010 at 4:04 pm
I do a lot of photography and painting work with my college. My friends and I are constantly emailing and downloading each other photos from projects (a real drain on the battery). I also use google maps a lot because my job has me traveling a lot in the day time. With that said, I often have to turn off my 9700 to make sure I have enough juice to get through the day. This fuel case would be a good solution to my problems.
TAK0405 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:05 pm
I travel from Tampa to Ft Lauderrdale on a regular basis and the Case-Mate would make for a nice addition for cell life instead of using a car charger.
diamanj Feb 16, 2010 at 4:09 pm
I would give it to my wife, she is always running out of juice for her bb. She is a power user, I can make it a 1.5 days. She would be so happy.

With this case I will have one less stop at my desk during the day, which will improve moral at my workplace.
Without me in the office it will be a much better place to work for all of my coworkers.
Thanks for your consideration.
curve247 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:12 pm
I have been traveling for the past two weeks with more to come. This would have been great to have since I am never in the hotel room and not near a charger all day. It would have really been great when I was on the plane earlier this week and connected to Wifi (yes American Airlines has wifi) checking emails and crackberry to make sure I had everything for the trip. I was downloading my rental car stuff and POOF the battery goes dead.
This would make my traveling so much better. I rely on my 9700 so much, the extra battery life would be great.
Thanks Adam for the review and CB for the contest.
ewoo Feb 16, 2010 at 4:13 pm
I need more POWER.
shaolinfinest Feb 16, 2010 at 4:14 pm
This item would help me out big time when it comes to showing off my Blackberry 9700 to customers. Throughout the day I am always showing off either features of blackberry's or just showing off why to go with the Bold 9700. My phone through out the day is used as an alarm clock to wake me up, MP3 player to listen to music on my way to and from work. I use it to call customer support for customers throughout the day and to BBM my co workers if I come into issues I need help with. with this, I would not have to plug my phone in and be w/o my device so I can always show it off.
jay_man33 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:17 pm
perfect gift for that special someone ;-)
SLVR6 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:18 pm
This would be great for traveling! 24hrs of flying can take it's toll on a berry if you use it for music/vids!
latz333 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:20 pm
My office building has spotty service on 3G so my phone is always switching back and forth between 3G and EDGE. I refuse to just throw it on EDGE for the day so this would be huge for me.
PeeBrains Feb 16, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Wow what an excellent invention, I gotta get me one of these :)
Gr8t1 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Just got the new 9700!!! its awesome!!!
jimpalmer3 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:28 pm
I would love to have this for travel days!
chaz0717 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:29 pm
It would mean no more worrying about having enough batteries to keep in touch with children, who are always busy.
chillaxin Feb 16, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Yep, it's my turn to win a contest... not just any contest, but this is so ideal for my 9700!! a feul carrying case... that's craziness! But I'll certainly use it if I won it!!
davidwipf Feb 16, 2010 at 4:30 pm
its about my turn
Mainiak Blaniak Feb 16, 2010 at 4:31 pm
...now that SmrtGuard free is using up my battery!
gregorio919 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:31 pm
This would totally help me get through those long days on campus, which are then transformed into even longer nights at work, only to have my blackberry die before I can get a chance to throw it on the charger!
Raistlin1 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Isn't it obvious? MORE FUEL FOR MY BOLD!!!
obaquerizo Feb 16, 2010 at 4:34 pm
after having allready 3 batteries in my car for my 8310, today i get my 9700, and this will be so cool to have and forget to be charging 3 different batteries all the time and having them around, opfully i will get one of this, great idea to charge you bb
bigtmassrap Feb 16, 2010 at 4:37 pm
My grand mother is really sick with cancer so I have long nights out in which my phone dies. And this would really help knowing I'll have the power so I can always get her calls and not have to worry about my phone dying.
csharpe72 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:37 pm
I need this...no I mean I really need this...I'm on call a ridiculous amount of hours and trust me, I get calls. I manage deployments with 10p-6a outage windows...my cells dies every time or I have to sit there while I'm plugged in...Trust me I really, really need!!
habs_fan Feb 16, 2010 at 4:37 pm
my 9700 would look great in this! as well i wouldn't have to worry about my battery dying
silverback13 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:39 pm
I would love one of these. Need it for travel...
jaybeeem06#cb Feb 16, 2010 at 4:44 pm
My T-Mo 9700 is calling for this case!
twodumbdogs Feb 16, 2010 at 4:48 pm
that has value. Put me in for one of these.
mahanson Feb 16, 2010 at 4:48 pm
This holder would have come in great this past week as I suddenly found myself out of town at the last minute without a wall-charger. The ability to add more standby time as well as useage time for a person like me who suddenly finds their business travel being extended is the perfect tool.
howl078 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I could use one; my wife is preggers and I started a new job. Having a dead phone before my lunch break to check on my family is nerve wrecking.
markymark8285 Feb 16, 2010 at 4:52 pm
10 hour days at Jen Chen's, need the power
LordOfFreedom Feb 16, 2010 at 4:53 pm
If a case is going to be large and tough, adding in extra functionality is definitely going to help. I use my BB as a music and video player throughout the day and in between classes. Two of my days are from 9:00-8:00, and there's large gaps in between. With this, I can keep the WiFi on all day and still listen to music and keep the bluetooth headset connected without worries. Want it please.
piky Feb 16, 2010 at 4:53 pm
I´m constantly on the go and need to charge the bb all the time
knightxii Feb 16, 2010 at 4:53 pm
a battery and case in one. Great idea. I would used these on days where i forget to charge my phone and have to go out for events. I can use it to charge my phone and as a case holder.
AnneO Feb 16, 2010 at 4:59 pm
I can have that extra boost during the day when my kids are trying to contact me about an after school activity or after school testing.
hoosierdaddy716 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:01 pm
please
TheTechGuy Feb 16, 2010 at 5:01 pm
I'm never near a desk, outlet or in a car to charge my phone during work days. This Fuel Case would be a life saver let alone a battery saver.
Jav0n Feb 16, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Why not have a protective case and an extended battery all in one. Definitely a must-have!!
Geminigem Feb 16, 2010 at 5:02 pm
I actually thought about buying one of these for my 9700 but I found it to be a little pricey for me at this time. It would be great to win then I won't have to be carrying around with my charger not worrying about where I left it the last time I used it.
vic_machu19 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Dejenme ganar uno para cuidar a mi 9700. Ya no que no tiene aseguransa. Please pick me since my phone doesn't have insurance please pick me!!!
moondavinci Feb 16, 2010 at 5:05 pm
The benefit this case has to offer is, in a word, incredible! Any thing that can help lower the risk of running out of power while on the go is okay in my book. :)
SINAMENCANELAHH Feb 16, 2010 at 5:06 pm
long hours working at the hospital...i need fuel and so does my bold!!
FireRescueL11 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:09 pm
being a firefighter, this case would help me majorly, need to keep my bb shiny and new!
akide Feb 16, 2010 at 5:11 pm
The fuel case would help me immensely. I'm constantly on the go doing health-care presentations from one office to another day in and day out. With the fuel case I would have less worry about my Blackberry Bold 9700 running out of battery and more time concentrating on educating and answering questions from students.
mastertai Feb 16, 2010 at 5:11 pm
i go to work at 9 am and i use my blackberry all day until 12 but the battery never is enough i always have to stop and charge it in another place.
Please pick me
jakub_w Feb 16, 2010 at 5:16 pm
would help me when I run out of battery power.
squintyboy Feb 16, 2010 at 5:17 pm
no need to worry bout chargers
Captivate me Feb 16, 2010 at 5:17 pm
I try to accesorize my baby with only the best....so she NEEDS this case to add to her collection. I'm a uber busy, working mom that's always on the go, and totally dependant on my Berry for organization and communication for various days activities...so this little jewel would really be a GODsend for me...Pick me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stlrsfan2 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:23 pm
Thanks
xeju Feb 16, 2010 at 5:25 pm
I leave all of my radios on all day, and try to plug my BB in when I'm idle or on long calls to keep charged. So the Case-Mate Fuel Case would be a great solution for me!
eekflapfire Feb 16, 2010 at 5:25 pm
The Case-Mate Fuel Case would come in handy for my Blackberry Bold 9700 when I travel. I travel at least twice a month for business reasons. Generally when I'm not traveling, my 9700 has sufficient battery life especially since I have access to a car charger and other power outlets. However, when I travel, I tend to use my 9700 more heavily. I spend lots of time on BBM to stay in contact with friends/family, stream Pandora, and play games (love brickbreaker!). As a result, my BB gets extensive use and it takes a toll on the battery life. It is especially annoying when I have limited access to power sources. Having this fuel case will be particularly handy on such trips.
momagnum Feb 16, 2010 at 5:28 pm
It would be great to leave batteries at home when I travel.
rliebert Feb 16, 2010 at 5:30 pm
This case would allow me to watch more movies and listen to more music without having to recharge during the day. This will be especially handy while waiting in line for midnight movie releases this summer!
Matt9700 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Being a Full time worker and a college student, i done always make it home to charge my blackberry. being that i try to do my online classes between my on-campus classes, dead batteries arent good
ksaerie Feb 16, 2010 at 5:33 pm
I fuel case seems like the best of both worlds. I want one....
Bigdeuce Feb 16, 2010 at 5:33 pm
I lug around an external plug in and this would save space...
About time they made one...
redman12 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Looks like a case that would protect the mighty sick 9700
Gmp2006 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:36 pm
All though the 9700 gets great battery life, it can't hurt to have
A little extra power. Mainly when camping and fishing!!!!
NeonLemmyKoopa Feb 16, 2010 at 5:37 pm
This would be useful on times when I know I won't be home or traveling and there won't be an efficient power source available.
baconcow Feb 16, 2010 at 5:39 pm
Nothing is worse than travelling when a piece of electronics dies in the airport just to find out that there is no available outlets anywhere near your terminal. Or that all of the outlets are being used by other people.
curtis91gsp Feb 16, 2010 at 5:41 pm
Please, I really need the extra power. I would love the fuel case!
haggisgirl Feb 16, 2010 at 5:43 pm
I travel a great deal and nothing is more frustrating than a low battery and the only outlet in a crowded airport is taken by some kid charging a PS so he can play games.
marcster Feb 16, 2010 at 5:43 pm
my battery would finally last for more than a day! :)
fritz269 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:45 pm
I travel for 4 hours each day and it will help me alot since I watch tv on my phone
allmotorsi Feb 16, 2010 at 5:46 pm
This would definitely help with my daily cell phone use. I can hardly get half a day out of my phone as I text, email and surf throughout the day. This would definitely help me out.
xx1lilshortiexx Feb 16, 2010 at 5:50 pm
So... I've got 3 jobs. Two of which i commute to for about 2 hours there and back. I love my bold but i often use it TOO much... so i carry my charger around wherever i go. Plus.... I'm tired from working so much so i need FUEL. =]
kjbmax Feb 16, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I would love to win one of these, with as many GPS related apps I tend to run, more battery life is a good thing.
Stiebs Feb 16, 2010 at 5:56 pm
I definitely need this! I am a person who is ALWAYS on the go and cannot afford to have a low battery notification show up. Although the battery life is amazing on the Bold 9700, I still have some days where I need a little extra juice.
Hope my dilemma is solved with this case! Please choose me! It would mean so much to me! I would use it all the time! Thanks so much!
~Stiebs
BlackBerry Bold 9700
vampireassistant Feb 16, 2010 at 5:57 pm
It's a great accessory! I got one for my bold 9000 and I feel extremely pleasure with it's helpful everytime I travel alot! And now I just purchased one more lover, bb9700! I am sure my new lover will love it! ^^
FRobert101 Feb 16, 2010 at 5:59 pm
A great add on for those of us who continue to get large amounts of emails and phone calls. Hope to win one :)
nyzthug Feb 16, 2010 at 6:00 pm
because it will help
smashbox Feb 16, 2010 at 6:01 pm
having this would definitely help me out and not have me rushing to get a charger during the day!
SilverSfr Feb 16, 2010 at 6:02 pm
This would help me make it through the day in style!
madastror Feb 16, 2010 at 6:04 pm
I have my wi-fi on constantly, and that sucks up the juice. This would be great!
ricehog Feb 16, 2010 at 6:07 pm
I work in a pretty remote area everyday, even getting voice & data service is challenging. It seems to me the longer it searches for signal the more battery it drains this would definately help me out, by allowing me to stay in the field longer and no have to be worried about not having enough battery.
jcastilloalonso Feb 16, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Last time I went to Mexico City, the lights were out for over 24hrs. This left me with no battery for over 12hours. Having the extra juice and protection for sure will help on those situations where a power plug is simply not an option.
Le_Victorieux Feb 16, 2010 at 6:09 pm
I use BB hardcore, I more juice, I need case mate . thanks for the giveaway :)
bcbbanga4l Feb 16, 2010 at 6:09 pm
well, every time i go to work i have to put my beautiful blackberry in my pocket. Then while at work i hide it under my desk because we are not allowed to use it while working so when i go on breaks or go home i always forget it there and have to rush back before someone takes it haha. But if i had it on the holster i can not use it and risk being fired while im at work and also never forget it lolz.
gwgtaylor Feb 16, 2010 at 6:14 pm
I use ubertwitter and nimbuzz constantly and as a result my battery sometimes doesn't last a whole day. This would work so well for me!
Thank you!
rchiang#cb Feb 16, 2010 at 6:14 pm
I travel a lot over seas and would love to try this product, becuase with my traveling it is hard to keep my phone charged because i travel so much out of the country. Thank you...it would mean a lot.
redline80 Feb 16, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Well I wear a case as it is and I'm in the service industry.It would be helpful to be able to charge my phone at an account while I'm on the go.Nothing is worse than needing to call a customer or coworker and having a dead battery!
rage420#cb Feb 16, 2010 at 6:22 pm
my battery never lasts me a full day at work and with this it could :)!!!!
bmc1217 Feb 16, 2010 at 6:23 pm
It would be really nice to have my bb not be naked any longer
trtmazda3 Feb 16, 2010 at 6:23 pm
I attend a local community college, and I have a lot of down time between classes, and that is spent on the Internet...via my amazing Bold 9700 and the school's Wi-Fi. However, that tends to soak up quite a bit of battery. :-( Then I'm left with a nearly dead BlackBerry as I head off to my part-time job in the evenings. Having a phone battery nearly dead is pretty scary situation...especially for a BlackBerry addict like me!
vsuga Feb 16, 2010 at 6:26 pm
Beats charging your phone everyday, love it.
Afumetsu Feb 16, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Fuel case is great all we have to do is get one to be more independent to be mobile
SumthinNew Feb 16, 2010 at 6:31 pm
I have yet to experience any major battery drain issues with my 9700, but this would be a great accessory!
clasnasty Feb 16, 2010 at 6:32 pm
i got married about two years ago and it is true what they say, the good times don't last. I work as a mobile consultant in Duluth which means that i am constantly on the move and don't have a real "office". my phone usually last till about an hour left in the work day and then dies, and i head home because there is not much more i could do without it. At home, there is no beautiful bride waiting for me, just the realization that i hate my wife and wish i could get out. So Please crackberry, help me work longer hours and see my wife less! you'd be saving our "marraige"
CommDir911 Feb 16, 2010 at 6:40 pm
As an Emergency Management Director my days can be longer than most while still needing access to our critical information. This would be a tremendous help.
Thanks
optimo Feb 16, 2010 at 6:40 pm
this would be a great compliment to my berry. i am always looking for more battery power.
philanthropy Feb 16, 2010 at 6:42 pm
I work as a soccer coach, a full time student, and as a waiter at nights and on weekends... My blackberry 9700 lasts long but not all the time, and a case like the fuel case would definitely allow me to make it through the day in stride
andruko Feb 16, 2010 at 6:51 pm
I constantly find myself switching the phone to run on EDGE to conserve battery life. This case would allow 3G use all day; without battery life being an issue.
etownse1 Feb 16, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Lets see what I lose... extra batteries, phone chargers and ohh yeah my mind... i never seem to misplace my phone though... this would be an catch!
ally68 Feb 16, 2010 at 6:56 pm
pick me pick me
jamesliu1 Feb 16, 2010 at 6:59 pm
I need this SO bad! I swap out my battery everyday at 4. This would be great so I don't have to wait for my phone to reboot!
falconeight Feb 16, 2010 at 7:08 pm
i dont want it
nickmo Feb 16, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I would totally take advantage of the extra charge! Sometimes I can't make it from the morning til I get home if it is a late night!
tww5047 Feb 16, 2010 at 7:11 pm
this would be perfect
rapproduca Feb 16, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Please may I have a case mate for that phone. I will be buying a new one tomorrow morning and that would be a great accessory. Currently I charge my Curve 8520 at least 3 times a day because I use it so much. And man is it hard to handle my business in and out of the studio if I have to plug my phone to the charger in the wall every few hours and wait to move because I won't let it just sit there.
zrbarnes Feb 16, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Would love this!
CTKell Feb 16, 2010 at 7:21 pm
This case is great for me because I don't like cases that are meant to always be on the phone. I need a case as I;ve already dropped my Bold 9700 twice and have owned it less than a month.
villanueva08 Feb 16, 2010 at 7:22 pm
already a great battery, but that extra boost would be so helpful to get me through those hectic days.
jogon Feb 16, 2010 at 7:24 pm
i would like this product!!!
w_bovine Feb 16, 2010 at 7:26 pm
I sure could use one of these...then I wouldn't have to listen to my friend brag about his new extended-life battery for his HTC Hero!
ceepee Feb 16, 2010 at 7:27 pm
since my wife STOLE my case and my charger.. and my 2 year old LOST my replacement.. help!!!
Sam K Feb 16, 2010 at 7:27 pm
This case would help throughout the day because it will protect the phone and give it extra juice when you're on the road all day away from an outlet to charge your phone.
vodomustng2000 Feb 16, 2010 at 7:29 pm
I...have...the...power & case!
VDK Feb 16, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Would be great to win this. Please and thank you :)
Patfb1 Feb 16, 2010 at 7:31 pm
I carry my laptop to work every morning, in addition to the laptop I have cords with rubberband on them, from my computer, to the my BB 9700, in addition to chargers in my car. I feel like I am being overpower with chargers everywhere and would like to be able to free up some space and have peace of mind, if only I could sport the casemate to keep my 9700 charged on a regular bases without cords of course!
nashif Feb 16, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Hey, I goto school full time and I work two jobs totaling over 40 hours a week. The only day I don't have any responsibilities is on Saturday. My blackberry is always on me, and Im always using it for business (real estate.) I cannot afford to have my phone run out of battery as that will be an extreme inconvenience to my clients. This fuel case would be perfect for my busy schedule and life.
Sylver26 Feb 16, 2010 at 7:37 pm
I work 10hrs a day. I do everything with my Bold 9700... from giving and taking directions to stations to answering countless emails and texts from my follow BB users. Because of I'm on my phone 24/7, I have my charger with me constantly. Keeping up with long cable charger in my purse SUCKS. Having a case that keeps it charged up, would be absolutely LOVELY!!!!
NilsonF Feb 16, 2010 at 7:45 pm
This case would help me a lot cause I use my phone a lot. I charge my phone every night. This would help me from stopping to charge it every night
abezapata Feb 16, 2010 at 7:46 pm
would love to get this. im in
chustle925 Feb 16, 2010 at 7:48 pm
This would really come in handy,sign me up please..
Drewsefer Feb 16, 2010 at 7:49 pm
How would it not help? Could use one.
archfiends Feb 16, 2010 at 7:58 pm
i got a 9700 but hate carrying around my charger i work two jobs and I need that extra juice for my bb
DeLeonR Feb 16, 2010 at 8:00 pm
This would help me a lot on a daily basis. My BB does everything for me...lol
richs#CB Feb 16, 2010 at 8:01 pm
I had the fuel for my 9000 and I used the heck out of it. I upgraded to the 9700 and truly miss my fuel. Even though the 9700 battery life is so much better, there are times I cannot go a whole day on a charge.
Gotta win, gotta win!!!
mkerbow Feb 16, 2010 at 8:05 pm
The Bold 9700 has great battery life, but it is always when you need those extra few moments that the battery seems a little short. This would be the absolutly perfect item to make sure that does not happen.
awdyo1 Feb 16, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Looks great. I'd love to have that case.
alloutz Feb 16, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Being a UPS driver I'm out on the road all day, and the trucks do NOT have cigarette lighters, so this would be so very helpful, being that I constantly use my google maps and TeleNav GPS! I'm always worried about my battery dying while I'm using my phone! This case is a WIN! Let to do it CB!!
SlcCorrado Feb 16, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Nice. I'd love to see how well these work.
Ironman2301 Feb 16, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Great looking case! Count me in!
CrispySOB Feb 16, 2010 at 8:22 pm
Please pick me!
mechdiff Feb 16, 2010 at 8:25 pm
I got no protection on my Bold. It's gonna catch a SFD soon, scratch from drop. The fuel would be awesome for me, I hate charging my stuff, I either forget or think I have more battery than I actually do.
RPNOSU Feb 16, 2010 at 8:25 pm
It would keep my BB alive so i can text/email/tweet/call/etc/etc/etc and did i mention plan to rule the world? haha
technod Feb 16, 2010 at 8:25 pm
I usually travel a lot for my work and it happens few times that I forgot my charger... So in that scenario I'm sure this little thing is a great solution...
antiZpated Feb 16, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Looks a little bulky, but hey if it can keep my juiced up, I'd take it. :)
voltaire Feb 16, 2010 at 8:28 pm
I travel a lot and this would really help me.
seminick Feb 16, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Running around all day, I seldom get a chance to charge my phone and I could really use this awesome new gadget! Thanks Crackberry!
ray142 Feb 16, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Nice Case-Mate Fuel Case. I would use it everyday at my place of work. I work In a hospital. Would nice to try it out, rather than getting out and in from my pockets.
Philliesfan20 Feb 16, 2010 at 8:36 pm
I'm a new BlackBerry user whose constantly finding new uses for my phone....I spend two hours a day commuting and on more than one ride home, thought it prudent to turn my phone off rather than run the risk of it not working.
I'm planning a dream trip of two weeks in South Africa this year and am eager to have the equipment I need to keep in touch with family and friends while I'm away. The Case Mate Fuel Mate sounds invaluable.
bigjman Feb 16, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Although I get pretty good battery time, it does drain rapid whenever I'm out of 3g coverage or have spotty 3g coverage. I admit the bold does have good battery life but I never get the 2 days people on here brag about. The fuel mate case would change that I'm sure. I've been curious about this case since it first came out for the bold 9000. Now that they made a compatible case for my 9700, it sure would be nice to win one!
IMTHTG Feb 16, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Case-mate, that's all that needs to be said.. I love their products and they have Great Customer Service. I had the Fuel Holster Charger for my 9000, and it was GREAT! My previous Fuel Charger clip had broke and they replaced it with no problem. Kudos goes out to Case-Mate Customer Service... As I, am a Team lead for part of the IT Division. I am a crackberry user and this is a must have since the 9700 is known to have great battery life; its not easy for me to have 10-20% by the end of my work day. I would love to win the 9700 Fuel Holster charger.. So please choose me, I would put it to good use!!!

As a member of the military I am always on the go visiting different places. My Blackberry Bold 9700 allows my wife and son to stay in touch with a message or email while I am on the go. This would be great to have the extra battery life so I would not have to worry about running out of juice while I am either at the airport or while driving between units.

Can't keep my hands off my Blackberry 9700 so the battery discharges faster than I would like. The Fuel Case will come in mighty handy. Thanks.

this will revolutionize the way i work. when surveying job sites, (or waiting for customers to show) my phone is not only the best way for the shop to contact me and pass the time (specially since the carts do not come with a radio). This will help on those days when i forget to charge my phone to ensure i don't miss any reschedules or getting to the next level on word mole.
