Otter Products has released two semi-rugged protective cases for the BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Curve smartphones.
The $49.95 cases (the OtterBox 1934 for the Pearl and OtterBox 1935 for the Curve), offer complete usability of the BlackBerry devices and camera, while protecting them from bumps, scratches and drops.
The cases have a protective membrane over the keyboard and screen to protect against scratches and dust, while there’s a silicone skin surrounding the device to absorb bumps and shocks.
The microphone and speakers are left uncovered for better sound quality and you can still sync and charge your device with the jack accessible through the case. For the truly hip, the cases also have swivel belt-clips for easy carrying, and better yet they come in two colours - black or yellow/black.
One thing to bear in mind though is that the cases aren’t waterproof, so don’t think you’ll suddenly be able to wave your BlackBerry around in the rain.
