Hands-On Review of the iSkin Vibes for the BlackBerry Bold 9700!
Looking for a high quality skin for your phone? If so, I'd definitely recommend checking out iSkin Vibes for BlackBerry. They're available for *most* BlackBerry Smartphone models, and while more expensive than the standard OEM BlackBerry Skin, there is a lot of value in them for the price. They're made of a transparent rubbery plastic that is sculpted tightly to the shape of the phone and feels good in the hand, and thankfully, the Vibes are odorless - sometimes phone skins have that horrible rubbery chemical smell. iSkin also includes a screen protector and wipe in the box, which is a nice touch.
I've been using the red iSkin Vibe on my precious Team Canada BlackBerry Bold 9700 to help keep it in pristine condition and have been really happy with it. The skin doesn't add too much bulk to the phone and it provides a good grip. It fits well on the device, leaving all ports and the camera perfectly accessible. The little cover for the headset port is a welcome feature. The volume up/down and convenience key buttons are nicely implemented into the skin as well, and still provide a crisp click when used. All in all, while it is on the pricier side of BlackBerry skins, I still give it two CrackBerry thumbs up.

Case-Mate Smart Skin Case for the BlackBerry Bold 9700
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]One of the most unique cases I've come across is the Case-Mate Smart Skin. I really dig this case as it offers great protection in a compact design. It has a very cool feel to it, and the keyboard cover is a great addition. The only hard part I found was getting used to typing on the "softer" keys, but after a while I barely noticed a difference...
Seidio Innocase Rugged vs OtterBox Defender Series for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 - Round 2
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]About a week back we posted up a video of the new Seidio Innocase Rugged for the Bold 9700. In the video I did a mini throwdown with an OtterBox Defender. Unfortunately all I had on hand was an old 8830 model, so it wasn't really a "true" comparison (as everyone let me know in the comments). So today we bring you round 2. I got my hands on a...
Accessory Review: Seidio Innocase 360 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] The unique case leaves my ultimate decision on it at 50/50. I like the case itself - the fact that it has a screen protector and keyboard cover built in, but I'm not sure its really worth having those "bonus features" at the end of the day. The Seidio Innocase 360 two-part case snaps right on and holds tight. Its overall very sturdy and can...
Video Review: OtterBox Commuter Case for the BlackBerry Bold 9700
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] OtterBox has long been know as the leader in "ultimate protection" for mobile devices. Their Commuter series cases are one of the top selling, and for good reason. The Commuter provides great protection for your device, giving you a step up from standard hard cases by using a skin/hard plastic combination. The Commuter is a mix of both the...
