Get the leather look
The BlackBerry Priv OEM Leather Pouch is business class
43
The first accessory I got for my BlackBerry Priv was the leather pouch in tan. For every BlackBerry smartphone I have owned, I have purchased a leather pouch (except for the Passport, as there was none), so it wasn't going to be any different when I got my hands on a Priv. I decided to get it in tan this time, just to switch things up a little. From the pictures alone, you notice...

Seidio CONVERT Case Holster Combo for BlackBerry Classic
29
Throughout the years I have owned a plethora of cases. Some were thin and light, others were thick and bulky, and many fell somewhere in-between. One case that caught my eye was the Seidio CONVERT Case Holster Combo. Designed to accommodate whatever you throw at it, the design is geared towards a person's various needs. How you may ask? It is actually two cases in one, or rather what I...

BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition review!
201
Let me preface this by saying I never really intended on giving the BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition a full blown review. From the onset, I pretty much considered the device 'just another version of the Passport' and overall I feel I was right in that assumption. It is just another version of the BlackBerry Passport, but it just so happens that it's the nicest version of the...

Hands-On with the BlackBerry Passport SILVER Edition!
195
Drop what you're doing and hit PLAY on the video above! I was fortunate to get my hands on the newly announced BlackBerry Passport SILVER Edition a little early, so took it to the new KM studio to give it a proper debut for CrackBerry Nation (complete with vintage table slap at the end!). Be sure to watch the video for some deep thoughts, and check out our photo gallery for lots of...
A strikingly confident design
BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition photo gallery

Now that the BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition has been announced officially, we can show you all some better images of the device up close and personal. Unlike some of the early images, which never really show off a device in the best light, these photos really highlight the high quality finishes that BlackBerry used on the Passport Silver Edition to make it, arguably, the most...

Amzer Hybrid Case with Holster for BlackBerry Classic
31
Before venturing out into the world, be it for travel or work, the first accessory that is always a must for me is a case. While I would rather marvel at the design of the Classic, my better judgment always warns me that protection is best. This time I decided to try the Amzer Hybrid Case with Kickstand. I have always preferred heavy duty cases so this was a no brainer. The design is...

Hands-on with the OEM Classic Soft Shell Case
35
The last BlackBerry OEM Soft Shell Case I had was for my BlackBerry Q10 and when I got the BlackBerry Classic I just had to get a Soft Shell Case for it too. They have a slim profile, adding no bulk at all and it gives you sufficient protection. These are the types of cases I go for as I have small hands and don't want to add too much bulk. The Soft Shell design of the BlackBerry...

Hands-on with the BlackBerry Passport Flex Shell Case
58
BlackBerry has updated their Transform shell cases for BlackBerry 10 smartphones and they are now called Flex shell cases. So called because the back can flex outward to form a stand. There was a Transform shell for the BlackBerry Z10 and Z30, both different in design and now the Flex shell is a pretty nice update to the design. I was very fond of the Transform shell case for the Z10....
You can't go wrong with a BlackBerry leather pouch
Hands-on with the OEM Leather pouch for BlackBerry Classic
42
Remember the days when you would find a leather pouch inside the box of your brand new BlackBerry smartphone? I do and I miss it somewhat. But at the very least you can still purchase an OEM leather pouch for your beloved BlackBerry smartphone. So, no doubt there would be one available for the BlackBerry Classic. It actually would have been nice to see one included with the BlackBerry...
Here's a cool photo editor to check out
Edit photos and create sketches with Snap2Share
43
There are lots of photo editing apps to be found in BlackBerry World. We've looked at a few here on CrackBerry.com already. The latest one I've come across combines a few features of individual apps while adding extra options. Instead of having an app that just allows you to create sketches and doodles and having another app for photo editing. Snap2Share combines both into one app....

Cover up without hiding the beauty of the Passport
127
The BlackBerry Passport is a beautiful and unique device. That's what I think, anyway. I have a tried a few cases already and use them on and off because sometimes you just want to show the Passport off in all its glory. However, I have dropped my Passport a few times so I do want a case to protect it. That's when I came across the Ringke Fusion case. The case is see-through, so it...

Hands-on with Hub2Watch for BlackBerry 10
64
If you're a Pebble smartwatch user, Hub2Watch is an app you'll want to get. It was released recently and goes hand-in-hand with Talk2Watch Pro. While Talk2Watch is by far the best third party Pebble app we have for BlackBerry 10, there are still some limitations in terms of notifications and Hub2Watch helps to bring more notifications to your wrist. Follow on as we go hands-on with...
