i love this case. its great =D

Great side case!!

User: Tyler C, Jun 10, 2008

Pros:	Sleek, simple, good clip, good magnet closure, sleeper magnet
Cons:	Sleeper magnet only works in one position

This is a terrific side case for the curve!! I prefer side cases over vertical cases because theyre less obtrusive, and they expose less of the phone to damage from bumping into things. Its also easier to sit down with one and not have it get in the way.

This case is excellent. It feels sturdy, but its not overdone, and not too complicated in look or function. The top closes with enough magnetic force to keep it shut, but its still easy to reopen. The phone slides in and out with relative ease, but is snug enough not to pop out on its own in any way. The belt clip is very firm, so it wont slide on your belt or come off. It also has a nice little lip though so its easy to put on your belt, even with tension.

I did try the case while the phone had the Blackberry silicone skin on. It fits, but its snug enough that its a bit tough to get in/out of the case. Im using it mostly without the silicone skin.

The only drawback in my mind is that the sleeper magnet only works when the phone is in one particular orientation within the case. This is a very minor inconvenience, you just have to put it back in the same way each time.

Highly recommended!

Best Sidepouch for Blackberry Curve

User: Tom Cook, Aug 21, 2008

Pros:	-
Cons:	more colors

I love this SidePouch. But I do with thay made it in the red Body with the black close flap. But I will be getting another one.

Great Case

User: Mario Cuppetelli, Jan 20, 2009

Pros:	NIce Italina leather and great craftsmanship
Cons:	I really havent found one yet.

The sleeper mode works regardless of weather the screen is facing away from you or towrads you in the holster. I was a bit concerned about the clip but that was quickly done away witih. Nice leather and inside is plush treatment for you BB. I dont even realize it it there unlike the other holster that was a vertical one.

You must put the BB in with the screen towards the front of the case when wearing it in the right side.

	Strong, secure, inobtrusive
User: Robert Paxton, Aug 9, 2009

This does exactly what I need a Blackberry case to do, and has held up perfectly for the 3 months Ive had it. The magnetic closure is discreet, the fit is perfect, and the belt clip - - while narrow - - is solidly-attached and strong. Just buy this one. Youll be happy.

Great Case

User: C. Bridenbaugh, Jan 7, 2010

Pros:	Side case that puts the BB to sleep
Cons:	None

This case was exactly what I wanted! I had been using a side loading case that did not support the sleeper function which was a pain. I can only get the BB to "sleep" when inserted in one direction, but that is no big deal. I quickly got used to it. The case is well made and a great value.

Good case, but overpriced

User: Tera Powers, Dec 10, 2008

Pros:	sturdily constructed, good layout
Cons:	leather on the cheap side, priced too high

I bought this exact case for the Pearl, from a cell phone accessory e-tailer, for $6.99. Its a nice case, but at this price? Not worth it.

Great Case

User: Robert Barnes, Mar 7, 2009

Pros:	Snug , Sturdy , Fashionable
Cons:	Lacks access to connections ,charger etc.,when closed.

Great good looking sturdy case.Not very functional however.As far as I can tell it doesn,t put the phone to sleep as advertised.Sturdiness and fashion were my main concerns and this case fits the bill.

	Overall nice case with a couple of drawbacks
User: Michael Djernes, Mar 13, 2009

OK, I wanted to use this case for 2 or 3 months before I tossed in my $0.02 There are several things I like about the case: the leather and construction is of good quality. Its nice to have color choices and the sleeper magnet works like a charm. Downsides are initially the fit of my Berry in the case was very snug. At least with mine, it was a two handed effort to extract my Curve and at times in doing so the case clip would come off of my belt before I could even begin to get my BB out. After several weeks of use the leather stretched out and most of the time now my Curve can be removed one handed- lift the flap with my thumb, push the BB out from below with my middle finger (while trying not to activate the convenience key...see below) in to the waiting palm of my hand. The biggest downside to this product IMO is that the corners of the case are cut out which leaves the device corners exposed. Ive had my case pop off my belt a few times when I bent over. As a result I now have a small chip in the plastic on the bottom of my BB due to it hitting the ground with the exposed corner following one such episode. As mentioned, I use the middle bottom cutout to push my BB out of the case from below, in doing so I tend to activate the convenience key on that side of the Berry. Not a big deal but a little annoying at times. Overall I like the case but would like to see better corner protection for the device hence my 4 star rating.

Almost a great pouch

User: Tony Kan, Nov 14, 2007

Pros:	Great looking, slim, good clip
Cons:	Designed for right-handed use, a little rough around the edges.

while this is a great looking case, I found that the edges around the inside where the felt is stitched to the leather is a bit rough to the touch. Also, even though you can face your Curve towards or away from you, realistically you would have to clip the case on your right side. If you tend to clip your phone on the left, side, you would have to maneuver the phone 180 degrees to answer.

	sleep wont work on 8900
User: Jeff Brock, Mar 9, 2009

I bought this case for my Curve 8320 and I like it a lot. Excellent fit and it looks nice. I was pleased that my new 8900 was close enough in size to the old curve that I would not have to give up this case. I was a little disappointed to see that the case will not put the 8900 to sleep, however. Magnetic switch has been moved. I am still going to use it, though.

Not good for lefties...

User: Chris Calzoncit, Aug 11, 2009

Pros:	Look, Feel
Cons:	Magnet placement (sleeper function)

This case just arrived today, and it seems like a great case as far as fit, finish, and the way it fits real slim and snug to your body, but...if you are left handed and wear it on your left side, then it requires you holster your phone in such a way that the orientation is totally counter productive for pulling it out and answering, viewing, etc. without acrobatics to re-orient it to be viewable. Unfortunately the case will put it to sleep regardless of screen facing in or out, just not bi-directionally as in top of phone facing forward for lefties.

ok case - but missed the mark

User: John L, May 11, 2009

Pros:	Nice pouch - leather looks good & very protective
Cons:	Flimsy metal clip

The metal clip became stretched out over less than two months - and now allows the case to flop around on my belt.

I am concerned about this falling off of my belt and losing my phone.

I called the company and they seemed willing to do a replacement -but they made it sound like my case was find and that I was abusing the case. They offered a replacement with same thing at my shipping cost - no thanks.

I work in an office environment - normal wear and tear. I have not have this problem with any other case Ive used over the years. I cannot recommend this case.

Poor clip kills it

User: Mike Lipphardt, Jul 31, 2009

Pros:	Nice material
Cons:	Poor fit and cheap belt clip

I have to shove my handset into the pouch, annoyingly hitting side keys while doing so. The clip is so flimsy it falls off my belt. I see I am far from the only person with this complaint about the clip. It looks good though! Looks are the only thing in its favor. Stay away from it.
