At last, a case that is protective, looks professional and isn't too big. This case is everything I expected it to be - sleek, protective of both phone body and screen, inexpensive and ideal for holding a Blackberry inside a purse. It also features an internal channel to accommodate the camera on the back. Bonus points for the lack of bulky belt clip. This is not a case for those who would want to wear their device on a holster.

Yes, you can't see the screen or touch the buttons while in the case, but that is easily accomplished by sliding Blackberry out via the handy-dandy notch on top, sized just right for thumb and forefinger. Much better than the silicon skins, which I found attract dust and screen films that are difficult to put on perfectly (and dust finds its way into the edges of the sticky film as well).

BargainCell was also A+. Order was placed late evening PDT, they shipped the next business day and arrived in retail-shelf condition as pictured, well ahead of Amazon's delivery estimate. Packing list inside included simple return instructions and a coupon for your next order.

I purchased this case as a replacement for the case my dog chewed up. While I have no doubt that this is an OEM product (my wife recently purchased a BlackBerry Curve that shipped with the exact same case), I have to say that it is of a lower quality than the case that came with the BlackBerry I purchased more than a year ago. The vinyl is thinner, it puckers along the seams (especially on the bottom), and, instead of having a nice rubbery coating, the edges are rough. This case will do the job (and the price was right) but I won't miss it when I finally replace my phone.

It's not fancy, but it's dirt cheap, it's small, and it protects your precious crackberry whilst it loiters in your pocket.

I've purchased - and rejected - multiple means of protection and conveyance for my 8330, and I keep coming back to the svelte leather sleeve that came in the box with the phone. It's uncomplicated and does it's job perfectly.

I only wish it were easier to deploy the phone one-handed when it's in the case, in my pocket, and I'm not using a bluetooth headset (about 90%). I can do it, but not before the 3rd ring.

Since BlackBerry no longer provides cases with their phones, I had to order a case that would fit my new Curve 9300, but not one that would attached via belt clip.

Great case!

This is not like the original BlackBerry product. It does not include the magnet, which locks the phone when you insert it in the case. As a result, I have to manually lock the phone when I put it in the case, to avoid inadvertant key presses.

Blackberry's 8310 OEM vinyl case is the best I've had on any cellphone. The magnet shuts off the screen and it protects the phone really well, especially from inadvertent calls.

This case is perfect for carrying my blackberry in my pocket when I am at work. It definitely protects the screen from getting scratched. I don't know how many times I have sat on it or dropped it and the phone is perfectly protected. I would recommend this to anyone if you want your phone in your pocket or purse.

The product we received seemed to be an OEM-style replica case made with poor materials and quality. It fell apart within a few days.

Carry Case, Blackberry Vinyl Pocket Case / B001B38LUG

My Blackberry came with this case, and I was distraught when I lost it. This pocket case on Amazon is a perfect replacement, identical in every way to the one that came with my Blackberry.

The case is snug and the Blackberry is never in danger of falling out. The screen is protected inside, from scratches and cuts, and the design makes it simple to grasp the Blackberry to pull it in and out of the case when needed. There is no clip on the back, so this won't hook to a belt or the outside of a purse, but this case will definitely keep your Blackberry safe inside your purse or pocket.

This OEM BB case is amazing! Its the same one you get when you purchase your cell. If you need one, there's no reason to not consider this one.
