Since I work from home I don’t have to drive around for long distances, but for my short drives it’s always nice to have some accessories for my BlackBerry device. One such accessory would be a car mount. I got hold of a ProClip Custom Charging Mount for the BlackBerry Z10 and gave it a whirl. How did it fair? Follow on through for my full review. The ProClip Custom Charging Suction...
With more and more of you getting your hands on a new BlackBerry Z30, you're certainly looking for shiny new accessories to go along with it, right? Well we have plenty of good ones to go around, no matter what you're looking for. Be it a case, external battery, screen protector or car mount — we've got you covered! There are some great OEM cases including the BlackBerry Leather Pocket...
For the past few years I’ve mainly opted to go with a leather holster to carry around my BlackBerry device when out and about — I just preferred that as opposed to putting it in my pocket. I realize I may be in the minority with this, especially being female, but it just feels more convenient to use it sometimes. I’ll occasionally use a case but for the most part I’ll carry my phone...
My personal favorite BlackBerry 10 YouTube app, SuperTube, has been updated this week and with it brings a bunch of enhancements as well as a few wee fixes. Although the new additions to the app are not huge, it's another perfect example of an app developer striving to make the 'Built for BlackBerry' app as awesome as possible. With no native YouTube application for BlackBerry 10 (...
Provides excellent protection without sacrificing functionality
The BlackBerry / Typo saga continues. Recently BlackBerry sought an injunction against Typo and their iPhone keyboard accessory, claiming that the Typo infringes on one or more of BlackBerry's patents. BlackBerry aimed to block sales of the device in the US for the time being. Typo isn't going down without a fight however. In order for BlackBerry to win out, they'll need to convince...
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you've been seeing some of my updates as I put the BlackBerry-esque Typo keyboard for the iPhone to the test. Now it's time for a bigger update to the in-depth Typo review I posted previously. In that review I noted that the build quality felt a little on the cheap side and that durability was something I had concerns about. It didn't take long...
Back in October, BlackBerry took Beta Zone in a different direction when it offered an accessory as a beta product, where we usually find apps. The beta program was aimed at BlackBerry Z30 owners and it was for a Carbonite Pocket Case, very similar to the leather pouch and micro fiber pouch. There has been a few people who managed to get into the beta to try it out. I did and we would...
The weather is turning pretty crappy here in New Jersey this week. I'm sure there are plenty of other places (like the Peg) that are way colder, but for us winter is well underway. I've busted out my snow tires, shovels and winter clothes, making sure not to forget my favorite accessory of all. I'll admit that when you get to the point that you need touchscreen gloves for your phone you...
The BlackBerry Z30 is making its way to carriers across the world and as of last week has finally hit US soil. While many users are sticking with their trusty Z10, Q10 or Q5, plenty are making the jump to the awesome device that is the Z30. Once you have it up and running there is still one more thing you need to do, right? Accessorize! Luckily we've just stocked a bunch of awesome...
BlackBerry has started a new program through the Beta Zone and is testing the new Carbonite Pocket Case for the BlackBerry Z30. A good number of users have already been accepted to the program and the cases are starting to arrive. Some members have taken to the forums with their initial thoughts and overall the case is getting some good reviews thus far. Judging by the reviews, the...
BlackBerry is taking a new approach in the Beta Zone today as some users are receiving an invite to test out not new software, but a new accessory. First up in the deal is the BlackBerry Carbonite Pocket for the BlackBerry Z30. The case resembles that of the leather pocket or microfiber pouch that we've seen over and over again for various devices, only taking on a new carbonite form...
The BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 both have an awesome accessory in the battery charger bundle. It's long been one of our favorites thanks to the multitude of uses. While the BlackBerry Z30 has a non-removable battery, it looks like BlackBerry will be offering up a similar external charger for that device as well. The Z30 charger won't be so much of a battery bundle as a simple external...
Since BBM went cross platform I'm sure the amount of people using Google Talk has shrunk. However if you are a user, you'll want to pick up the latest BlackBerry 10 update which adds BlackBerry 10.2 support. Although the amount of new changes are not huge, it's great to see the dark theme introduced to save some battery life. With the dark theme already available for BBM, contacts and...
Michael McHale usually works on chandeliers with old pipes and gas fittings, but for this project, he's made quite a piece from old BlackBerry models. You'll spot the Tour, a couple of 8800s in there, and some 8500-series devices dangling all purdy-like. The custom-made Ozymandias Chandelier borrows its namesake from a Percy Shelley poem popularized by a recent Breaking Bad episode. It...
When it comes to cases, I have a love-hate relationship with them. I do feel like I need to protect them from accidental drops (which I am prone to doing) but there are always times I prefer the naked feel of the device, especially when the device offers some nice aesthetics, such as the BlackBerry Q10. Now that I have the BlackBerry Z30, I feel the same, since the back cover is made...
We go hands on with the Transform Shell Case for the BlackBerry Z30!
Check out the OEM BlackBerry Leather Holster for the Z30!
I have made it a habit the last few weeks to check out eBay for BlackBerry goodies, and sure enough more have turned up for the upcoming BlackBerry Z30. In addition to the leather holster, pocket pouch and and transform shell we've seen already, some third party cases have now turned up as well. Spotted today are the two variants of bumper cases for the Z30, both in a large variety of...
Just after we saw the BlackBerry Z30 leather holster appear on eBay, another accessory for the unannounced device has turned up. The BlackBerry Z30 Transform Hard Shell Case in white and the leather pocket pouch have also been listed up for sale. As with the other cases we can't verify that this is a legit OEM accessory for the upcoming Z30 though it looks to be so. What's cool here is...
While the much anticipated BlackBerry Z30 has yet to be announced, it appears that some retailers are getting ahead of the game. As discovered by CrackBerry member Andrew4life, a few "OEM" BlackBerry Leather Holsters for the Z30 have turned up on eBay. The Z30 is nowhere to be seen though we've caught many photos and videos down the rumor pipeline already. We can't say for sure if these...
There are plenty of things you'll be picking up when heading back to school, and most likely equally as many you'll forget - don't let BlackBerry accessories be the ones. Your phone will be an integral part of your school year for keeping up with your studies, calling your parents (yeah right!) and staying in touch with your friends. We've already checked out some great apps for...
An Indiegogo campaign recently kicked off for Sky Drone FPV, a project which would allow users to remotely view from an unmanned aerial vehicle via BlackBerry 10 device or PlayBook. Rather than relying on traditional image relay techniques which are subject to a lot of interference, the Sky Drone uses a 3G and LTE modem to send its image to the BlackBerry. Users will be able to record...
We see plenty of cool BlackBerry cases come to fruition, but on the same note there are equally as many that never see the light of day. One such concept that I would love to see hit the street is an awesome "peek holster" design for the BlackBerry Z10. Steve Purvey, a design intern for BlackBerry UK, has come up with this awesome holster design that not only lets you see the LED with...
