Well I just received my white and black skin from SEIDIO and I LOVE IT! The material is great and the fitment is tight on the phone! It fits every part of the phone and I would HIGHLY recommend the skin from Seidio! I have bought a white skin frm shopblackberry and I would say Seido's is way better. The material blackberry uses is horrible because I have the hardest time putting my phone in the pocket. I can not slide the phone in my pocket because of the rubber they use.

The back of the casing even has a cut out as in the 2nd to last picture. It's designed to work great with a cradle that you can also purchase from seidioonline.com. So there is no need to take off the skin when you want to charge it in the cradle.

I would highly recommend everyone to buy theres from Seidio because the fitment and design is awesome! Here are some pictures:

THIS IS HOW IT CAME WHEN I GOT IT IN THE PACKAGE!

PS I love the black skin alot more then the white one! Just my .02 cents!

Yes I did. I drilled the holes too big though. Afterwards I placed on the full body skin so the "mod" is useless now LOL.

Oh that sucks! hehe

phungy · 10-25-2006, 07:05 PM

Yeah but I bought some battery doors so it's all good

Thanks for sharing the sound mod idea though. I liked it while it lasted.

No problem at all. I am just here to spread information with the community.

Thanks for posting pix! If you guys drilled the holes, then couldn't you just... punch some holes through the silicone? I don't know if many people have access to one that fine, but I know belt makers and people that do alterations would, no?

ttormamny · 10-25-2006, 07:19 PM

haha not sure didnt want to deal with it. Its not that bad though. the speaker is still loud enough for me to hear.

phungy · 10-25-2006, 07:29 PM

I don't want to mess with the silicone. Volume is good enough for me.

I like the skin too, but the trackball is a little harder to roll with that piece of skin on top of it. My thumb keeps getting caught on it. Also, you can't really see the send, menu, back and end buttons anymore, you just need to memorize where they are. But I actually find it easier to press them with the skin on them.

phungy · 10-26-2006, 02:32 PM

I angle my thumb up when I use the trackball so it doesn't get caught on the skin. Works great!

I bought mine over the weekend and JUST received notice of it's shipment. In fact it took nearly 5 days to just ship let alone receive via USPS, which I expect to take nearly 5-7 days. NOT what I would consider expeditious customer service! Certainly it's reasonable to expect the item you purchased to ship within two business days of pruchase not four...

Well the transaction might have to be complete before they ship. Mine took about 2-3 days to complete and then shipping was fairly quick because I chose Priority though.

I buy TONS of stuff online and this transaction took much longer than any I can remember. Keeping in mind it's for a paultry $25 when I've spent thousands, it seems that it took too long for this to ship. I am in the UK on business, then in the US for one week then back off to the UK and I only hope that I receive the case before I depart so I can protect the vunerable Pearl. So far I have many small screen and battery cover scatches and it's only been on my pocket... It needs some protection!

You should get the full body protection from either bestskinsever or shieldzone.

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a long delay in the shipping of your order. That is not our ordinary procedure. We normally take 1 - 2 business days (weekends excluded, of course) to process and ship your order. Your delay was excessive. If anyone is experiencing what they feel are delays on products in stock, please let me know and I'll look into fixing the problem.
