I first heard of the Dicota brand right before heading to CES this year in one of the random emails that get sent out. When I checked out the website, I noticed a whole slew of accessories in their "Built for BlackBerry" line and was excited to see them in person. After meeting with Kevin, he promised to send me a few of the products from Dicota so we could review them for all of you. First up on the list is the Dicota Flexi case.
The Review
I use the BlackBerry Charging Pod with my BlackBerry Bold 9930 so a case that comes off easily is a must for me. The Dicota Flexi case is perfect in that respect. The case is made of a semi-transperant impact resistant flexible plastic (TPU) with a cool zig zag print on the back (adds a nice little touch of texture to the case too). The case is such a tight fit that it adds essentially no extra bulk to the device. I've dropped mine several times on everything from hardwood to concrete and my Bold still looks as good as the day I bought it.
The back of the case has a zig zag pattern and perfect fit cutouts for the camera and flash.
The right side of the case fully covers all the buttons.
The left side provides easy access to your 3.5 headset jack and microUSB port. The case sometimes needs to be readjust around the headset jack as you can see in the picture above.
The top button is recessed and can be a little difficult to push. This is actually a good thing since it is less likely to be pushed while inside a pocket.
Flexi Case for BlackBerry Bold 9900 / 9930
by Dicota
Pros
- Easy to apply and remove. The case does not feel slippery in the hand like other soft shell cases. Very reasonable price.
Cons
- Color choices are slim: Black & Purple. More variety would be nice.
The Bottom Line
Perfect case if you want a simple sleek profile. Easy to remove if you use a charging pod and has an affordable price tag.
