5.0 out of 5 stars A great, necessary addition, September 23, 2009

I just put this on yesterday and have come to really like it. The instructions are fairly simple with only a few pictures and no words on how to insert the phone into the plastic case then the rubber case. A fairly simple process, but make sure the clear plastic overlay for the keyboard is properly lined up and pulled tight prior to installing into the plastic case. You may also want to make sure that the display and the camera lens are both clean prior to this as well.

Once installed, the product makes the BB much easier to hold, as it is a bit beefier and the rubber is really easy to hold onto. The belt clip allows for easy inserting and removal of the BB without too much friction or looseness.

The plastic case overhangs the display just the slightest bit, but doesn't interfere, you just notice it a little. The plastic keyboard cover does make the use of the trackball a little more difficult, but certainly not impossible and after a day of use, I hardly notice the difference anymore. However, the additional protection this offers I believe offsets any perceived difficulties. The ports are easily accessed with the rubber cover tabs easily removed/installed. There is no noticeable affect on the speaker during phone calls or listening to music. The camera button on the right side is also easily depressed with the covers installed with no noticeable increase in pressure necessary to launch this application.

Great product that I learned about from a buddy who uses the iPhone and has a similar OtterBox product on his. I would recommend to anyone.

I purchased this for my wife...we have tried the silicone cases that are sold at the other stores, and werent impressed...

this item provides ample protection, allows for easy access to all buttons, and gives the device a nice feel...

the texture of the case is smooth enough to allow the device to be slipped into a pocket or purse...

for those wanting even more protection, the otterbox defender is the only other choice, but it does add bulk to the device...

If you are looking for an inexpensive, but stylish way to protect your Blackberry Tour from damage and scratches, this will do the trick. It even comes with a protective screen for the Tour as part of the package. Would highly recommend this product.
