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

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.

Since checking out the Speck booth while down it Vegas a couple weeks ago (which was a favorite for most of the CrackBerry attendees) I have been on their site taking a look at some of their new cases being offered for BlackBerry. Adam dropped a quick announcement of their upcoming products, and I have to say they have some pretty sweet new stuff coming this year, most of which I had the opportunity to check out first hand. Speck has brought out several new cases for the Tour, Storm2, 9700, and 8520. For the first three devices, Speck has introduced their line of PixelSkin, SeeThru and Fitted Cases, which have always been popular for the iPhone but have now made it into our accessory-starved hands. For the 8520, the Fitted case is available now. The list of new product available for 2010 includes:

• BlackBerry Tour 9630 - Fitted: Black & White Plaid | PixelSkin: Black | SeeThru: Smoke
• BlackBerry Storm2 9550 - SeeThru: Smoke | PixelSkin: Black | Fitted: Black Pinstripe & Tartan Plaid Grey
• BlackBerry Bold 9700 - Fitted: Black & White Plaid | PixelSkin: Black | SeeThru: Smoke
• BlackBerry Curve 8520 - Fitted: Black & White Plaid

Now, just because you don't have one of those devices - don't worry. Speck also offers several fantastic cases for other BlackBerry devices, as well as many other personal electronic products. You can check out the available products for your device on the Speck website.

Contest: The great people over at Speck dropped me a line to offer up 5 cases to be given away to the CrackBerry community. All you need to do is leave a comment to this post. One per customer please, multiple entries will not count. Contest ends Sunday at Midnight PST.

Speck had long made some pretty awesome cases for BlackBerry, and last week added to their extensive lineup with the announcement of their new Fitted, PixelSkin and SeeThru cases. The new cases are sure to add some flair to your device, and will come in a variety of styles for the Tour 9630, Bold 9700, Storm2 and 85xx devices. The Fitted cases feature a snap together fabric covered hard shell that offers all around protection for your device. The PixelSkin (my favorite) is a pixelated rubber case that provides both protection and grip. The SeeThru cases are simply clear ("smoke") hard cases that will include a detachable holster and rotating belt clip. These new additions will add some flair to Specks great line of products, and should be available sometime in February. The Fitted cases will retail for $29.95, while the PixelSkin and SeeThru will sell for $19.95. Check out some photos of each after the jump, and for more information, head to speckproducts.com.
