Contest: FIVE SmrtCases for the Tour to be won! Leave a comment to this post letting us know how you'd put the SmrtCase to use for you...

[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]

The folks at SmrtCase sent me out a few samples of their new patent-pending SmrtCase Glide for the BlackBerry Tour, and I was so impressed with the design and utility that I just had to whip up a video and blog it up right away (plus get them to provide a few freebies to give away to CrackBerry Nation!). It's a simple concept, and it really works.

The SmrtCase Glide is a hard shell-styled skin case, not unlike those in terms of look and feel of those offered by Seidio or Incipio or Case-Mate, but it features one major innovation - the ability to store and easily access cards from in between the phone and case. Think business cards, metro pass, hotel room key, office swipe card, student id card or college pay for meals pass, etc.. SmrtCase introduced the concept a while back for the iPhone and have now brought it over to the wonderful of world of BlackBerry, starting with the Tour and coming soon for the Bold 9700 and Storm2. We've seen PhoneSlipper integrate the same concept on their BlackBerry case, but their design is a bit bulkier and uses a thicker/softer rubber that I personally am not as much of a fan of. The SmrtCase design is minimalistic and really holds onto cards securely, yet maintains easy access to them. Be sure to watch the video above for a hands-on look and more details.

Contest Details: We have FIVE SmrtCase Glides for the BlackBerry Tour to be won. Just leave a comment letting us know how you'd put the SmrtCase Glide to use for yourself and you're entered to win. Please leave only one comment (multiples not counted). Entry deadline is this Sunday at midnight pst. *

I would love to have this for my tour...

 
 
Posted by Roaming_Gnome Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Now this would really come in handy...

 
 
Posted by wings3312 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Would love to have one to protect my tour

 
 
Posted by xxplosive2k282 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Definitely would work for my Metro pass.

 
 
Posted by jeniferlynne Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

what!!! what!!! KABOOM!!!!!!!

Sounds like a great idea, had the blackberry 9000 case that held business cards and hated it and there were warnings not to put magnetic strip cards in it because of the magnets, this looks like it would actually work to hold a student card or debit card, would love to have one for my 9700 please enter me in the draw

 
 
Posted by steelval3 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

i would LOVE this case as a present for my papa

 
 
Posted by hoonaynay Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

The SmrtCase would be The accessory for my Tour. I'd use the slot for my Metrocard and school ID since those will be the two cards that I'll be using most frequently. Don't think I'll be putting a credit card in it though because if I were to misplace my Tour (knock on wood), I'd be in quite the pickle.

 
 
Posted by brdl04 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

That would be great for me to promote my business. Cards readily accessible for future buyers!! this is great!!

 
 
Posted by sscher1 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I was just looking to get a new case for my Tour and saw this. What an innovative idea. I love it.

 
 
Posted by mikec8785 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I would definitely use this. I would use it when I go out at nights and all I need are an ID and a credit card. That way I don't have to worry about a bulky wallet or anything, all I would need is my phone (which I always have with me). I hope I win!

 
 
Posted by S11208 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Hopefully, I'll win..

 
 
Posted by somuchgreater Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Omg. I've been looking for a good case fp. And your telling me I might get it free. Score

 
 
Posted by Leach0789 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I'd keep my college ID in there. We use it for food and access to all doors. Its a pain to keep in a separate pocket, we lose them all the time.

 
 
Posted by ratpackid Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I would love to have a case that held my business cards. I am constantly traveling and handing out cards. This case would be great for me new Tour.

 
 
Posted by leopolenta Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

i really need one of these

 
 
Posted by anandsihra Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Anyone notice how the card actually covers the camera? Might forget to take it out in an "emergency photo stiuation". Awesome idea though.

 
 
Posted by WishinItWas Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Work in NYC , hate having a bulky wallet in my pocket, I could transfer everything in my money clip(metro card too) to this case!

 
 
Posted by djitch Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I would use this when I am out of town and I only want to carry my id and credit cards and hotel key!

o for a night that i go out with friends and all i need are my id and cards...

I would also always beable to have a constant supply of business cards on hand... i sometimes dont carry a wallet and this device would really come in handy with my bb 9700

thanks for reading and I hope to be gettin one of these!

 
 
Posted by tehdoughnut Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

My Tour doesn't have be be naked anymore!

 
 
Posted by hankysmoo Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I need the smart case for my Bold 9700 so I don't break it when I drop it for the hundredth time.

 
 
Posted by LR7 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Hook me up CB!!!!!

 
 
Posted by ShackDiesel Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Hm... Now that I don't need a wallet for my cards... And I always carry my berry in my hand anyways... this means I can go everywhere naked!

YES!

 
 
Posted by rmv221 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

This would be great for me as I travel a lot and I have a problem where to put those hotel keys!! With this I will always know where it is. I need this hot item!

 
 
Posted by vodomustng2000 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Stocking stuffer for me?

 
 
Posted by jchien Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

nice... more give aways

 
 
Posted by kmartdanickel Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I would love to have one of these for my storm2 living on campus with and having to carry 2 essential cards all day debit, student id, and cash for who knows what may happen or need to be purchased would make things so much better and easier to have a case like this!!! Hope I win one

 
 
Posted by AverageUSCJoe Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

my wife doesn't believe in insurance for smartphones! Even though she lost her last bb to an angry toilet......

 
 
Posted by Petriab Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I play racquetball often, and have to carry a membercard with me when I play. I'm constantly leaving it behind, but remembering to grab my tour. Also, this would be convenient for business cards, as I never seem to have any! What a great concept!

 
 
Posted by freekshow Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Looks like a GREAT case. Sure would like to try one out. Thanks for the chance !

 
 
Posted by tazman19 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Looks nicer than the stock case I have been using for my Tour.

 
 
Posted by 0racle Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I am down for winning one. Would make things a lot easier

 
 
Posted by COTM Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

This would be awesome. With an ID and credit card, I wouldn't need a wallet on me all the time.

 
 
Posted by mysimba97 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

This case would be great for travelling. Heck, any night on the town would be great too

 
 
Posted by triplem44 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I travel all the time for work and this would be perfect for my hotel key, id and credit card. yes please!

 
 
Posted by agough05 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I just got my Tour and it's awesome! Still don't have a case yet though.

 
 
Posted by WhiteX6 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Would love this case in flamingo for my tour! It would be a great Christmas bonus:)

 
 
Posted by poseidon66 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

Does Tiger have one of these???

 
 
Posted by jerzice Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

This case is a very cool design, I could leave my wallet at home & just carry my license & credit card with me, Nice!

JerZ ICE

 
 
Posted by jorGeorge Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I would LOVE one of these to always carry around my college student ID card. I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten my card in my dorm room and wasn't allowed to re-enter the dorm hall! AHHH! Frustrating to say the least! Anyway, having this case would be of TREMENDOUS help and convenience for me as a busy college student. Thanks as always CrackBerry!!

 
 
Posted by fubaracing7374 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I'd love to cover my tour with this case!!!

 
 
Posted by Damin69 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

wow I could use a case for my phone mine is unprotected right now.

Just wondering if any one has had problems with Room keys or CC up against your phone. I know I had Issues when I was at a motel and I had my phone in my shirt pocket and threw my room key in behind it after the 3rd time of haveing to have my room key reprogramed in one week of my 2 month stay they asked if I had my Cell by the key. Come to find out that was what was whiping out my key.

 
 
Posted by mak7187 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I'd use it to get rid of this huge wallet..... save my back and butt crackberry.com!

 
 
Posted by spazn4u Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

This would be great for a night out when you just put your license and credit card in one place.

 
 
Posted by dan1215 Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

my birthday was yesterday (& i have tonsilittious), this would be a awesome gift from crackberry nation!

 
 
Posted by AnneO Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I would like to win this case for my teen daughter's BB, since she tends to lose her license and bank card quite a lot.

 
 
Posted by seminick Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009 788 days ago

I try not to carry too much in my pockets when I'm going out or when I'm attending formal affairs, so this would be perfect for carrying everything I need. Perfect solution for guys!
