Cases and Skins for the BlackBerry Storm2
Back on October 19th, shortly after the BlackBerry Storm2 was announced, we ran a post on the blogs asking soon-to-be BlackBerry Storm2 owners what the first type of BlackBerry Storm2 accessory they would buy would be: some form protection, a hands-free accessory, charger, spare battery, etc.
70% of respondents to that poll voted that a cases for the BlackBerry Storm2 (or some other form of protection) be the first item they take care of (wow!). From there, it only makes sense that we follow up and find out exactly which type of offering be the most popular. These days there are many ways in which one can protect their BlackBerry model from scratches, bumps and drops, each offering their own pros and cons compared to the other.
Invisible-type skins (Invisible Shields, BodyGuardz, Phantom Skins, etc.) preserve the look of the original smartphone and offer scratch resistance. Rubber skins (pictured above) provide additional shock protection and grip while hard form fit cases (ex. Innocase) add more bump proofing. Holsters provide power users with quick access to their Storm2, and take advantage of the unique in-holster / out-of-holster capabilities offered by the BlackBerry OS, as do BlackBerry-optimized leather cases and pocket pouches. And for those looking for the ultimate in BlackBerry Storm2 protection, Weather resistant cases like the durable OtterBox are a must-have. We want to hear what you plan to use to protect your BlackBerry Storm2.
Contest Details: Leave a comment on this blog post letting us know which case, skin, shield, holster, etc. you plan to purchase your BlackBerry Storm2. It can be either available now, or something that is likely to become available (it's offered for other BlackBerry device models so will likely become available for the Storm2). We have three BlackBerry OEM skins up for grabs as prizes! Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Leave only one comment please. *
Keep in mind that with the launch of a new smartphone, it can take a few weeks or even months for manufacturers to get their cases built and ready for sale. You'll want to keep it locked to our BlackBerry Storm2 cases page to see the latest offerings as they become available.

Im gettin a skin
Skin then screen protector...
Chillin Nupe..whats good
kappas?
wow number 2 usually im like 500+ something im going today to pick my storm2 up wahhoo
I'll be looking for a screen protector first thing.
Looking for probably a soft skin like the Storm 1 had through VZW. Not looking to waste money on a shield because 1)the screen doesnt scratch; 2)leaves a wierd feeling on the device. Something simple to protect the casing should do just fine.
rubber skin to protect the phone when the kids get a hold of it.
i drop/scratch a new phone within the first week of purchase. So skin for me.
all forms of protection are great but i've had the best luck with shields. thank you!
Definitely want to get a skin!
Need the screen protected!
Already ordered the standard plastic holster and screen protectors. Would purchase an Innocase 360 + holster when they release.
Gotta protect that screen baby. Shield for me.
I plan on case first screen pro second!
Screen protector first b/c I'll be paranoid about scratching it. I'm surprisingly good at not dropping my BB.
I'll be getting a skin for mine when I get one. I'm using the Incipio "Feather" case for my Storm1 and it's been great. It protects and is just slick enough to slide in and out of my BodyGlove holster/case easily.
buy screen protector first.
I'm gonna be getting a Seidio Innocase 360 for sure! Hopefully with a NICE CB Moderator discount.
Seidio Innocase. Great protection and adds almost nothing to the size/feel of the phone.
Shield baby! BSE phantomz its all good!!
I would love to have the CaseMate Barely There. They need to make a red one though.
Like a shell pleaze
I am for sure getting a skin for my new Storm2.
OTTERBOX!!
I prefer the skin! i cant wait to get my storm2 and all my new accessories hahah
Just left my Verizon store with Storm2 in hand. Wow, it is nice. I purchased the screen proctectors first. Not ready for a case yet, need to get acquainted with my new boy.
I'm a pouch guy.
I love my Case-Mate Skin. I drop my phone all the time and no nicks or bumps.
Otterbox
Well I would say a form of a rubber protector LOL would be the best. I will buy the rubber skin case, also have screen protectors. For the day when i dont want the case then I will go for a leather side holster.
WTH you have to get all new stuff for the same phone. I need a skin!!!
BlackBerry Leather Horizontal Pouch!!
Thanks for the freebies! PICK ME! Shield
I'd like a full body shield!
body shield and I use screen protectors and I want a skin too
Any kind of case would work - my classic Storm shows lots of signs of wear on the edges.
i have a skin for my bbstorm 1, planning to purchase the storm2 in a week (after i make a few more complaint calls so i can upgrade early)
I would def buy another skin for my storm2. its nice leaving it on the dash with out it sliding around.
..... what seems like forever for the Storm2, do you think I won't put a number of cases on it to see what's best? The first scratch would/ will/hoefully not make me nuts!
I currently use a Seidio case and holster for my S1 but for some reason it always comes off in the car. I'm going this time for a good old fashioned leather pouch and a smaller skin for some protection for when I have butter fingers.
A good gel skin or rubber case definitely, probably the Blackberry authorized one from the service provider--- provides shock protection and is helpful for a grip on the phone to prevent dropping it in the first place.
I want to get the rubber case. I had a hard case for my storm, and switched to the rubber one and that worked so much better. I am definately going to upgrade to storm 2!
i plan on buying one of those skin cases, i work at a new car dealership and all of my phones get put through alot of abuse constantly so that would be perfect for me.
My Storm2 is naked without any skin.
Ordered mine today... get it shipped to work Thursday!!!
Every now and then I have to get down and dirty at work. The Seidio Innocase 360 is the protection I need for the Storm2 at work. Thanks CB!!!
I'll be skinning both my Storm2 and my wife's.
I still have the BB leather holster case from my original Storm so I can continue to use that at times.. But the first thing I'm looking to get is a skin for sure..
so I'll be gettign a screen protector for sure. And I've been looking into the Zagg Invisible Shield. Anyone had any experience?
It will get the job done, but Phantom Skinz if superior in terms of clarity and smoothness which is important to me. Cheaper in price too as they are always running some sort of discount it seems.
