BlackBerry Leather Pocket Pouch for the BlackBerry Bold 9930 / 9900 Review

cool, me want... FIRST?

ive been wanting one of these since i first got my 9930....stylish and practical for when i wanna rock the "naked" look.....hope this is my lucky day!!!

The pouch included in Europe is a little different from the one you can purchase separately. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1010420/IMG_0134.jpg

Would be nice to have for sure!

I'd use it from time to time.

Good review, pictures make it that much better. I want this case because I feel that it offers the best overall protection of this beautiful device without sacrificing style and it doesn't add an extreme amount of bulk to the overall size.

It is a great thing, as I'd carry my 9900 protected, but use it 'naked' - just the way I like :-)

this is indispensable to protect my bold 9900, in the box came the one with the belt clip which is ugly... this is one is sleek ;)

Would have loved to get this instead of the leather holster it comes with!

I've been wanting this for quite some time now. I wanted it before I even got my 9900 but I held out hoping it would come with it. But I've been having to put my priorities first and take care of business. I'll be more than stoked if I win this.

Would love to win this fine leather pouch. :)

As much as I love my Commuter I'd LOVE one of THOSE

I would love to win one of these!!!

nice review i really liked the review i want it cause i am your biggest fan and liked every video

Thanks for the review. I would love the pocket pouch - It would add some versatility to how i carry the 9900. Keep working on your rhythm. :)

You obviously have not used this for an extended amount of time before making this review. Really this is just an advertisement not a review. In my opinion it is too tight. I have had it for a month and it still hasn't loosened up enough. When pulling it out, it often sends the call to voicemail because of the extreme effort needed to pull it out and nowhere to get a good grip other than the sides right where the buttons are. Also, when sliding in or out it often selects something on the menu, just before going into sleep mode (or after coming out of sleep mode when pulling it out). Finally there is a weird groove in the fabric on the inside. The fabric has a tendency to wipe the screen of grease and fingerprints (good), but where that groove is, it doesn't so you always have this streak on the screen

Why aren't the cases notched a bit lower on the headphone side so that the USB/charging port
is exposed?

I'd like to be able to leave my 9900 in the case while it's charging.

oh goodness, I picked up a Bold 9900 last Thursday and would love to win a leather holster. As someone who always has a million things in his pockets and hands at any given time, my BBs are often in a mixed bag of keys, paper, and more junk, the sleek holster would provide front screen/keyboard protection (of which is currently exposed, naked) and help cushion the device against the stockpiling of books and the unavoidable drops of the phone from lack of balancing said loads.

I have this case and love it. While I prefer my 9930 naked, the pouch is perfect when I need to toss my phone in a laptop or sports bag.

I agree with a previous post that it's a tight fit and pulling the phone out typically leads to launching something, but with some practice you can get it out cleanly. I do wish it would stay in screen lock mode when it comes out, but my guess is this is a feature.

very, very nice pouch. Would look nice next to my leather pouch for my playbook =D

Look similar to my oem lether pocket pouch

Ah yeah, bring on the leather!

The leather is much nicer than the synthetic. My 9900 came with synthetic holster and I wish I had the leather one. However, I have not yet purchased a pocket pouch, so I would love the get this one.

If this is anything like the leather pouch for the 9800, the fabric on the inside will start to separate from the leather on the back to reveal the paperboard innards in a couple of months of real use. Unlike the other folks, I had no issues with the tightness of the pouch, except for it causing the peeling problem. Save your money for a pouch that isn't cloth and corinthian leather wrapped around paper.

Would love this pouch. Not really thrilled with the hard case.

I love the leather pouch! I've had one for my Curve 8330m for 2+ years and can't imagine carrying my Bold 9930 any other way!

I got the holster with mine wish I got the pouch. Hook it up!!!! Loved the pouch with my old pearl and the curve 8300.

Looks good, I'd love one

I want one so I don't have the clip when I wear shorts or board shorts

I just bought the 9900 from Rogers. I'd love to have the Blackberry leather pocket pouch for it!

i want the leather one...plz

I have always been a fan of the leather pocket pouch for all my blackberry devices, since the time when they used to come with the device!!! When I am not using my leather swivel holster, I am using a pocket pouch!!!

I would love one of these to finish my collection!

would love it!

very beautiful for my 9900... :*

i'd love it!

I carry my phone in my pocket so this pouch would work. I took the holster that came with the phone and cut off the belt clip. This gives good pocket protection without the extra room needed for the clip and retains the magnetic strap over the top of the phone so the phone doesn't fall out of the holster when removed from pocket up side down. I dropped my 8900 this way.

I could really use one of these! I would love to have my Bold 9930 naked but I'm scared to put it in my pocket or camera bag without a case on it. Either way this is one of the accessories I've been looking forward to snag up! Also, the little red side stitch is like icing on the cake!

My 9930 from Verizon came with the holster. I love it except for the clip that is attached to it which I never use. I was thinking that I would love to have the holster case without the clip & it looks like this would be just the ticket. I wish there was a top flap to keep the phone from sliding out though.

I use the same kind of pouch on my Torch 9800 and LOVE it. As the review states, it's nice to have my phone protected...and then "naked" when I take it out. Keeps it safe in my pocket - and so easy to remove/insert the phone. I have been using my pouch for over a year now and it's still in perfect condition.

I certainly plan to buy one of these for my next phone...maybe one day AT&T will release the 9900!

Pocket protection at its finest. Would prevent a cracked screen like what happened to my storm for sure.

would love one for that extra protection

I'm a holster guy, and have been for over 10 years. But when I run to a basketball or softball game, I usually leave the holster on my belt and take as much care with the device as I possibly can. I'll never forget how mad I got when my Tour 9630 fell out of my pocket in the parking lot of my gym and I got those first dreaded dings and craters from the fall, totally ruined my day and my game. Never again... never again... This will be perfect when I need to put the phone in a gym or equipment bag so I can keep my 9930 with that great "naked" feel but it will be protected if there is a time where I can't be taking great care of it in my hands. Rare for all of us, but it happens.

if i win this, i'll upgrade my 9700 to 9900!

i would love to win this pouch it is so cute ive been looking everywhere for this in stores and noone had it.please let me win.

Looks good, I'd like one so I can protect my phone and still use it naked!

I'd love to have a pocket pouch for my Bold 9930. I've always had a pouch for my device, ever since the original one came with my first Curve 8330. Great when putting your phone in a front pocket where you may have keys (I NEVER do this), a wallet, etc. I'd love to have one.

As great as always-on cases are, I like the phone for what it is, naked. The pouch will be able to offer me both protection and allow my phone to be naked.

This is the best accessory you can get for a BB

just what i need

I change my case depending on what ill be doing... I like using my 9900 naked while not at work... Would love one of these pouches!

Looks great!

I'm getting a 9900 this week hopefully if I can get it as the handset only. Is it the pouch or the holster which had the controversy of scratching the screen? I love how the Atlantic Ocean is referred to as "The Pond".

I want one, because i just bought a new 9900 and hate the holster that came with mine

Would love to have the chance to win one since I use pouches more than a holster.

Send me one, I need a 9900 case

I need this because, let's be honest, nowadays holsters look really stupid!

Good review

Hope i can win one.

It would have been nice if I got this with my device intsead of the holster which I absolutely don't use. But really I don't do "naked" phones! Well not BlackBerry anyways! It's too expensive I have to guard it well. Would have been good if it could work with the case on the fone! Can the Bold 9000 pouch work for the 9900 with the case on?

Id love one! I've been using my old Blackberry Tour heavy since Jan of 2010, and am finally up for an early upgrade this month, on Oct. 17th. My Tour has been stretched and used to its last button. As of now, the data has completly stopped working and I only recieve the basics of text and calls.

Point is, I am going to get the Bold 9900 and I think this case would go perfectly, I deserve it after 22 months of honoring my contract.

The best blackberry case I've ever had was the slip case that shipped with my Curve 8310. I've tried several, but this type of case is simply the best way you can go. Keep it protected without all the extra bulk when using the phone.

i want one only because it is the nicest case BB has ever made. I like OEM accessories and I broke my budget paying the 9900 full retail because I couldn't wait another 6 months until contract renewal. That, and i'm not a fan of the clip case it came with (which I would donate away if I won this on)

I need one cause it's great protection when I leave my phone in the luggage!

Love the pouch, way less geeky than the holster. Hook me up!

I need to win this case in order to have enough money to support my family! do what is right.

I wanna wrap mine in some leather!

Need!

i want this cuz i hate the holster i got with my blackberry 9900 from t-mobile. i'm in high school so i dont really need to be carrying a holster around. this seems much better :)

would love to sport one of these

Thanks for the omprehensive review. The leather pouch would make my precious Bold look even more elegent!

Me, me, me!
c2

Oooooo!!!!! I want THAT!!!! I prefer my berry naked so this is perfect!!!!

edited to say I love it so much I ordered it on Amazon. LOL! I love you crackberry but it cost me

Order Total: $18.47

with same day shipping AND I get it tomorrow. <3 Amazon Prime!!!!

Please honor me with this gift =)

Leather pouches are exactly what a Blackberry needs. A rubber case just classes down such a great looking phone. I'd love to have one! Thanks CB.

Classic elegance.

I have the holster for my 9900, but there are times when I would prefer to have the pouch, especially when wearing a suit.

Seriously? A review of the leather pouch?? With video??? And photo gallery???? Come on..

it's great, i want one

want it cause my dad's 9900 pouch already rugged x_x its just 3 months old

Would love one! Thanks.

i would love to win this! great contests crackberry!!!

:)

I received the holster with my 9900, but I'm not convinced that's the way I want to carry it with me. I think the pocket would be a better option for its safety in my pocket.

I hate my holster that comes with the original package.

Let me have the leather pouch please!

I would like the pouch as its slim protection that still allows for the naked phone's good looks

Sign me up!

I would LOVE to win this one as over here, they don't carry all the OEM Blackberry accessories, and I only got a leather holster in my box, which I don't quite like to use as I'd rather have my BB in my pocket in it's pouch. Please guys?

count me in! would love to protect my naked phone!

I never really liked the Belt Clip on the OEM case, so I decided to rip it off.....Now it looks really dumb, serves me right, but this little puch would be great ;)

I've wanted one of these pouches since the 9000! Dissappointed mine came with the holster instead.

I would love to get this case. This phone is absolutely beautiful and any case I have seen pictures of just uglify it. Protecting the phone in pocket while keeping it naked in use is perfect.

I love the elegant and business look of this case. It adds so much beauty to the 9900/9930 making it standing out among iPhone. No kidding, I'm switching to BB from iPhone 4 because of this case!!

Would love one to see my bold 9900 naked more often ;)

Excelent review on such a simple item. I have been trying to find these at every location in my town and have had no luck. I got my first BB 6 years ago and the sleeves have been the only case I have used. Really hope I win my 9900 would finally be complete.

*ouched... I'd like one :)

I would love one for my future Bold.

Want 1 please!

I'm sporting the original pouch with the clip removed. Would like a legit pocket pouch.

Would look great on my 9930

looks sweet ... I want one. Hook a fellow addict up :-)

i love my 9900, pls pick me.

i work as an atc and not a person that wears a belt even to work so a pouch makes perfect sense. casual userand pouch is perfect so a black 9900 pouch would be awesome! wish me luck

I love the pouch I have for my 9700, but as it's being replaced with a 9900 any day now, a new pouch would be fantastic.

I don't wear the holster, so this would be better to just throw in my pocket without the clip on it.

What a beautiful pouch to protect a beautiful phone! Sign me up!

I find the pouch is quite nice, especially when you want to just throw it in a bag or pocket. The only thing I never got is why is RIM putting these red ties on the right side of them? Very unusual.

I ordered an Otterbox Commuter and a plastic skin for my 9900 from Crackberry....and with the money I saved, I went out and bought the pocket pouch. The pouch is okay if you don't plan to use your phone much. The Otterbox is good, but hard to put on and take off so I seldom use it. Mostly I use the holster at work, and the plastic skin for walking around on my own time. Ya live and ya learn....

Would like to win for my girlfriend's phone

i'd like one to protect my awesome 9900. thanks!!

sweet this will work perfect so my 9900 wont get scratched when in my pocket.

Me?

I would love to win this leather pouch for my 9900! I used the same style when I had the Torch and loved it! Didn't even drop the Torch. :)

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!!! Gobble! Gobble!

My 9930 would love this because it is not a big fan of the Otterbox case it is in right now! Pick me please!

My holster broke, so this would be a good replacement

this would help me protect my baby when i want to go naked without any cases!

this would be the perfect case for me

Please. Then I would have to buy a 9900.

Would love one! But being a student in London isn't cheap...

I'm not a real fan of the holster that came with my 9900. I'd love to give this a go.

I can haz?

gotta have it

practical elegant and beautiful yes I want one

would love to win one of these!! =)

I have a Case-Mate but would love the leather pouch.

I always like to look professional. what better way to do it :) Blackberry

I would love to have a sleeve for my 9900. I haven't had one since my 8100.

Sounds great!!!!! Thanks CB.

Thanks Crackberry.

Nice review comparing the differences between pouches & always-on cases. 9930 case, please! :-)

i dont have any case for my 9900 as of yet and will be nice to win this

for my husband who has already managed to misplace his case.

i like the classic look and feel of this pouches.

Would love this for my 9930!

Looks great, I'm without a cover for my bold, and would love to win this.

nice

I want one in order to convince me to buy a 9900 and replace my 9800 :)
I like the style of this pouch and leather feeling on my hand.

I bought an otterbox defender because I work in the restaurant business. It would be nice to have something stylish for those few times I get out. I might even change out of my uniform.

can i still enter lol
