Crazy but true story. Ehab (the “Digital Media Consultant” aka video maker and picture taker) and Kal, one of the daily PB editors were at a local Applebee’s where Ehab dropped his BlackBerry Storm 9530 face down in a dish of blue cheese.  “I wish it was ranch,” said Ehab as he hates blue cheese and was actually waiting for ranch dressing to go with his boneless buffalo wings.  Luckily, he had an OtterBox Defender covering his Storm which saved his life, or the Storm’s life rather. The Storm 9530 OtterBox comes stock with a clear screen cover that is attached to the front faceplate, preventing the blue cheese dip from making its way into the device.  Moral of the story? Get an OtterBox!

Voted as one of the best BlackBerry covers out there, the OtterBox Commuter has made its way to the BlackBerry Curve 83xx series.  We showed you the ins and outs on various Commuter cases in the past, so you know the deal with these already.  The Commuter is the mid-grade OtterBox available, putting it under the Defender, and above the Impact.  As always, the Curve 83xx Commuter sells for $34.95 right from OtterBox.

I’ve been using the Commuter series case for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 for a few weeks now and have been very satisfied with it.  As the Bold 9700 is a smaller and slimmer device, there’s room to add more “junk” to it as it can make it more comfortable to hold.  But the Defender doesn’t just add extra layers to your BlackBerry for cosmetic appeal.  Instead, maximum protection is provided through this industrious case.  So over the weekend I spent some quality time with the OtterBox Defender for the Bold 9700, taking it everywhere I went.  What an interesting experience it’s been..

A few weeks ago we told you about OtterBox’s plans on releasing another series line of cases for mobile phones.  Tonight’s the night as OtterBox will be officially announcing it and showing it off.  Above is a teaser video to keep you at the tips of your toes for now.  It’s a tough call what to expect at the moment.

As you all know, OtterBox started off with the Defender series which is the heavy duty three layer case to protect your BlackBerry in the worst case scenerios.  Next we saw the Impact series which was just a high end silicon case with anti-shock pads inside.  Later on the Commuter series released which was somewhere in between th Defender series and Impact as it wasnt too big, nor was it too small and thin.  The Commuter series provides both silicion and hardshell wrapping around the phone protecting it and not making look so bulky.

Who’s ready for some serious BlackBerry Bold 9700 protection?  The Defender Series OtterBox is finally available to purchase.  Just yesterday we showed you a review on the Commuter series for the Bold 9700 as you saw how slim and slender it was when equipped.  The Defender is the largest and most heavy duty case that OtterBox offers as it goes for a not so cheap price of $49.95.  Being top of the line, this edition OtterBox gives a three layer protection, one being the screen cover then the hard shell that wraps securely around the BlackBerry, and lastly a thick silicon cover with shock absorbents inside.  In addition, the Defender Series OtterBox comes with a very industrial belt clip holster that secures great.  Head over to OtterBox today and start your shopping.

The OtterBox is personally one of my favorite industrial cases for the BlackBerry.  When I feel like having my phone naked, I’ll hook it up with a ZAGG Invisible Shield.  A little while back, we told you about the BlackBerry Bold 9700 Commuter Series OtterBox launch.  Later after that came the entry level Impact Series for it as well.We finally got our hands on it to see how well it went with the device.  As you all know the Bold 9700 is very slim and a lot smaller than the original Bold.  Infact, it is currently RIM’s slimmest QWERTY BlackBerry on the market.  The Commuter is OtterBox’s mid-range case which is not as bulky as the Defender and not as slim as the Impact.

A few months ago, we were super excited to see the Commuter series cases release.  The Defender series went great on the BlackBerry providing maximum protection and the Impact series did its job as well.  We needed something in between the two, and that’s where the Commuter came in.  Now we’re seeing that a whole new line of cases are going to be released as well but there is no telling what they are.  We are hoping and assuming that the line will be out for the BlackBerry, but it is a matter of time until those details all get confirmed.

9700 impact series

A few weeks ago, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 got the Commuter Series OtterBox.  Today we just spotted that the Impact Series is also available.  For those who don’t know, the Impact Series OtterBox gives you two thicknesses of silicone and inner padding on the corners and back but keeping it very slim at the same time.  Shock and bump protection is active with case, so you won’t be missing out.  The Impact Series is the smallest and thinnest OtterBox casing available.  So what’s it come with?  The cover of course along with clear protective film for your screen, cleaning cloth and installation card.  For only $19.95, you can have this case for your BlackBerry Bold 9700.  Grab yours today.

bold9700 commuter

We’ve been waiting for OtterBox to put out their BlackBerry Bold 9700 cases.  So far, they released the Commuter Series case which is the “in-between” edition.  As we all know the Defender Series is the bigger and bulkier heavy duty 3 layer case that comes with a belt clip while the Impact Series is a silicon cover with shock resisters inside and a screen cover.  The Commuter case combines the best of both worlds and brings a two layer case with a screen cover.  It’s very light on the device as you won’t feel the extra “junk” all around your Berry.  Grab your BlackBerry Bold 9700 OtterBox today for only $34.95.  And remember, shipping is free as a Black Friday special so get in on it while the offer lasts.
