It definately does protect the screen, keyboard and case. I am sure it will protect the cell phone from high falls.

There are a few cons.

The plastic that protects the screen is very good but not great for clear viewing. The plastic protects the camera lens but at a small price, of not being as clear. You can cut the plastic out of these two areas and it will still work. Thats what I did. I use a shield from Zagg for screen protection. This is a perfect combination. The keyboard covering is wonderful. If you need to take the case off often, I wouldn't buy this case, its not hard but it is time consuming.

The only other con is it doesn't charge in a cradle. I like to slip my blackberry in a leather case, take it out at night and charge it in a cradle.

But I do have another blackberry in this case since I travel a lot. It is the best protection I've seen so far.

Once you place your phone in this case, it is protected. It is tough and I love the way it looks on my phone. It is solid black. I love it. Too bad Amazon sells the 8700 phone, but not the otterbox. The third party seller was great though and shipped my otterbox fast and efficiently.
