CCMaccessories' price was less than 1/5th what Verizon charges; even with shipping, it cost less than half the Verizon price. It's a great skin that protects the BlackBerry Tour 9630 Phone, Black (Verizon Wireless) from scratching and slipping. It's even thin enough that you can leave it on the phone when carrying it in the swivel holster that comes packaged with the phone from Verizon.

This case fits perfectly to the Blackberry Tour. It covers all the main areas of the phone that you want covered and doesn't add very much bulk at all. The feel of it on the phone and in your hand is great. The price is much less than what you would buy at the provider or a Best Buy. Highly recommend buying this case and from this seller if you have a Blackberry Tour with Sprint or Verizon.

If you're reading this, you, probably like me, looked around at your local mall kiosks or hit up one of those sketchy street corner vendors looking for a cheap BlackBerry cover. They all want $15-20 for some generic one, and who knows which model it actually fits? This one is made specifically for the Tour and fits perfectly... plus it's very affordable, even with shipping. Mine even has the BlackBerry logo on the back. All the side buttons are easily usable with the cover on; a space for the camera and flash is cut out on the back, the charger port and for the speakers on the side and underneath; you can use the buttons just as easily with it on as you can off. Don't blow your money at Verizon, this one appears to be the same thing, but for a lot less.

To be completely fair, this product is exactly as described online. I got this item in a timely fashion and the product was just as I expected. It fits the phone and protects it from damage, just as anticipated, but the actual design of the gel cover isn't the greatest for using the phone. The sides wrap slightly around the front and makes using the keyboard a challenge, especially when trying to use the bottom corner keys like enter or shift (Look at the picture carefully, you'll see it's cut out to get as close as possible to the keys, I didn't notice that when before I purchased, but the picture is accurate). The cut outs are right where they need to be for the side buttons and charger/headphone jacks though, and this does what it's supposed to do as far as protecting the device. However, I use the keyboard much too often to continue with this cover. I'm buying a replacement after 2 days of use of this cover. I'm going to try the one that Blackberry makes, the pictures look like the sides don't wrap around nearly as far - this one is just too thick and bulky.

Kudos to the shipper, though - well packaged and arrived timely. It's a good value and will protect your phone - but not for those who use the keyboard excessively.

I purchased a different cover that was not made by Blackberry and found it to be very thick making it difficult to type and awkward to hold. After I purchased this one, it made a world of difference. I could type a lot easier and my phone didn't look extra big. The only downfall is that it's a bit flimsy and not as durable causing the outer edge to occasionally come off. For me this is not a big deal. I'd take this thinner cover over a thicker one any day; however, for some this might be annoying.

Incredible price compared to the $20 Verizon and RIM ask for accessories. It's just tight enough to stay on in your pocket, thin enough to fit on the holster. Some people might complain about it being a little loose, but it's nice to be able to remove quickly when you need to do a battery pull.

For the price, this case is hard to beat. Dust can get caught in the case and rub against it, which is common with any silicon case for any product.

I bought this for my husband and received it in 3-4 days. It fit like a glove, which was great, but it made it just a bit more difficult to remove the phone from the holster so it's now sitting in a drawer. If the holster stretches out a bit, it might come out of the drawer.

I received the cover from Amazon on time and well packaged. The cover works fine but, not what I intended. I thought this was the thicker, more ruggedized cover. This cover would be a very good for someone who is not real hard on cell phones. That someone is not me.
I have ordered many items from Amazon and will continue to do so. They have good prices and will give you prices from competitors as well.

Retailers always charge like 30 bucks for this thing?!?!? Don't be a fool, purchase it online or from Amazon for less than $5. It is literally the EXACT SAME rubber cover you would buy from verizon. Buy Bberry chargers online too. Don't be a victim to absurdly high mark-up in those cell phone stores.
