I just received my Otterbox for my Blackberry 8830 (8800 series) and I am VERY impressed with the level of protection and weather-resistance this gives my fragile Blackberry. Not only is the phone better protected, but I can still easily type and scroll, and I find the Blackberry to be much easier and comfortable to hold on to. The naked Blackberry is too slim and slippery. With the Otterbox on it I can grip the thing like I mean it. I’m glad I bit the bullet and spent the $ on the Otterbox. It is apparent that a lot of design work went into this unit. It fits perfectly.
