"The Body Glove Flex Snap-On Case offers revolutionary protection in the ultimate custom fit phone case."

In Short:
"Solid protection with a snug fit"
Should I Buy?
"If you're looking for case to protect your device from drops and hard knocks, this is good value"

Body Glove Flex Snap-On Case  

I am a bit of a klutz, so when I look for a case it has to - first and foremost -  provide me with the protection I need against knocks and drops. When I came across the Body Glove Flex Snap-On case it caught my eye because of its snug, solid feel. It also gave me the option to use it with a belt clip too, so it was definitely a case I had to try out. Keep reading for my review.

Extra Battery Charging Bundle for the Bold 9900/9930

I finally got myself a Bold 9900 a few weeks ago, and to my surprise (as with many others) the battery life didn't stand up to what I am used to with BlackBerry. On the plus side, BlackBerry users can always carry an extra battery and swap it out when necessary. But sometimes just getting an extra battery isn't enough. You would have to charge both batteries via your BlackBerry, and that could be time consuming and annoying. And frankly, I am too lazy for that. So instead of just grabbing an extra battery, I decided to go with the BlackBerry J-Series Extra Battery Charger Bundle, which includes a standalone battery charger. It was a wise decision.

CrackBerry BlackBerry Christmas Gift

The Holidays have been very nice for us here at the CrackBerry team. Based on what I've seen on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, it's been a nice Holiday season for many of you, too. We've seen lots of updates and Tweets about people receiving both BlackBerry Smartphones and BlackBerry PlayBooks. Now that you've got your brand-new BlackBerry device, you're going to want to learn how to use it. As our Fearless Leader Kevin said on our last CrackBerry Podcast, BlackBerry is for smart people. Smart people read CrackBerry, and we've got you covered.

At CrackBerry.com, we keep you up-to-date with the latest in applications, devices, accessories, and how-to guides about our favorite smartphone. This year, BlackBerry released its 7" tablet; in February, the PlayBook is scheduled to become more awesomer with the addition of on-device email, calendar, and other enhancements.

You're already familiar with BlackBerry's unsurpassed ability to communicate - Research In Motion mastered mobile email and security a decade ago - but what else can your BlackBerry do for you? We've put together our best app recommendations, how-to guides and all around BlackBerry goodness for your viewing pleasure.

Holiday Gift Guide

It's that time of year again. Gift giving, decorations, funny red hats, drinks, of course the turkey (we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, so turkey is for Christmas) and spending time with the family. But before even getting to that point, it's the time for making lists and seeking out the best gifts for family and friends. It can often be difficult trying to pick out the best present for someone. Friends and family all have different tastes and preferences, so finding the perfect gift can be hard. I love BlackBerry, I love accessories and apps for my BlackBerry, and I'm also a student, so what kind of gifts can one get a student BlackBerry owner (or BlackBerry owner to be)?.

Do you have a student friend or family member? Here's a student wishlist for you to peruse. I'm sure you'll find something that would be useful for that loved one.

Holiday Gift Guide 2011

Ah, the holidays, that joyous time of year where we strive to find the perfect gift for everyone on our list. Sometimes, we moms get forgotten in the hectic shopping rush and end up with last minute gifts like a toaster or a waffle iron. When buying for dear old mom, we forget that she is
more than a housekeeper, taxi service, day care provider, accountant, nurse and counselor. As an extremely busy mother of 3, I rely HEAVILY on my BlackBerry devices on a daily basis for just about everything (seriously, a day without one of my BlackBerry Smartphones is like a day in purgatory for me). I figure there are plenty of other BlackBerry moms like me out there that would absolutely love some cool apps or accessories for their devices this Christmas. Keep reading after the break for some great gift ideas for that wonderful mom in your life.

Leave a comment on this post to win a BlackBerry Skin Case for your BlackBerry!

BlackBerry Skin Cases

The BlackBerry skin case was the first accessory I ever bought when I switched to BlackBerry. They are reliable, durable, and soft to the touch. No matter what cases I've purchased, broken, or abused, the skin case is always the one I fall back on. While it does not offer the all around heavy duty protection like some other cases out there, it does protect your device from accidental bumps, falls, and scratches. Not to mention they come in an array of colors to match your style. Click on the jump for more images and contest rules.

Enter to win this awesome Speck Fitted case for your BlackBerry Bold 9700/80 - details below!

Speck Fitted case

BlackBerry cases aren't just for protection. Though keeping your BlackBerry safe is a top priority, there is nothing wrong with wanting a case that looks good while providing peace of mind. The Fitted case from Speck Products gives you both a unique look and durable protection in a snap together design. The back is covered with a classy black and white plaid fabric which makes it eye-catching as well as easy to grip. It's a hard shell case, which offers more protection than a shell or skin case. The back, sides, and front bezel are all covered, with cut outs for the camera and side buttons and ports.

I really enjoy using this case on my Bold 9700. It fits really well and looks awesome, and the texture of the fabric was a nice change from the norm. The only drawback I can see with this case is the potential for the fabric to look dingy after a lot of use, but I'm sure it can be spot cleaned as necessary - just don't forget to take it off your BlackBerry first. You can see a few more pictures after the break, and to get your own Speck Fitted case for your BlackBerry Bold 9700 or 9780 head on over to the CrackBerry store.

Contest: Want to win your very own Speck Fitted case for your BlackBerry Bold 9700/80? Leave a comment below and you could! One entry per person please, contest ends Sunday at midnight PST. Good luck!

Keep reading to see how to win an Incipio Ultra Light Feather case for your BlackBerry!

Incipio Ultra Light Feather case

Looking for a case for your BlackBerry that won't add any bulk? Check out Incipio's Ultra Light Feather case. Available in 5 different colors, this case is super lightweight and made out of a strong polymer that allows it to be durable yet still thin. The case snaps on easily and stays secure; it's not going to just fall off. If you're looking for a case that covers your device completely, this one probably isn't for you. You can see from the pictures it only covers the back and sides, leaving top and bottom exposed as well as the keyboard and screen. However, if you're in the market for a bit of protection in a low profile case you'll probably really like this Incipio case.

I have the Midnight Blue color, which is actually more of a dark purple than blue. The case also comes in Black, Magenta, Dark Purple, and Molina Red for the Bold 97xx, though the other devices have some variances in color choice. The Incipio Ultra Light Feather case is available in the CrackBerry store for $17.95 - $29.95 depending on device. A picture of the back of the case and a pretty close representation of the Midnight Blue color is after the break, as well as details on entering the contest.

Custom vehicle mount

CrackBerry member Dylan sent in some pictures of a project he just completed. He designed himself a custom PlayBook vehicle mount! Combining the snap-on shield from his PlayBook OtterBox and a car heater mount with a ball joint, he had a good starting point. A quick trip to the hardware store found him some L-shaped brackets to use as the mount. Says Dylan: "The rest was easy, just drill the holes and bolt them in. After it was mounted I hooked up my aux cable and had myself a custom screen in my truck."

It looks great, and goes to show what you can do with a little creativity and some spare parts. If do-it-yourself isn't your style, head on over to ShopCrackBerry and check out the car kits there. You can have a look at more pictures of Dylan's custom vehicle mount after the break, and if you've created something awesome you want to share with the CrackBerry community, don't hesitate to send it in!

Leave a comment to win a HellBent case for your device! Keep reading for details.

HellBent 9650 Pouch

For me nothing beats the feel of a BlackBerry device without a case or anything on it, but unfortunately I don't always enjoy carrying the device around with me like that. Having to insert and remove the device from my pocket constantly opens up a whole lot of potential for it to get scratched up, and become old looking (big fear of mine). Predicaments like this leave little room for possibilities of what to use, but luckily there are quite a few holsters that are available to provide protection while not in use, but allow the naked style feel of the device while it is in use. While looking around, deciding which of them to purchase the HellBent Top Pouch Case caught my attention for a few reasons, so I decided to give it a chance. Hit the break with me to check out this case with a little more detail.
