BlackBerry Accessories Review: Executive Leather Shell for BlackBerry Storm

Robb Dunewood — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:00:33 +0000

There are a lot of really good big brand name BlackBerry cases and skins out there. The only problem, usually, with a big brand name case is that it often carries a big brand name price tag. I’ve gotten numerous emails from BlackBerry users looking for a really good case, but, not wanting to spend as much or more on a BlackBerry case as they did their BlackBerry.

If you are an original BlackBerry Storm user, the Executive Leather Shell from Mobi Products just may fit the bill. The Executive Leather Shell is only $9.95, and, I have to to admit, when compared to some brand name cases costing $30 or more, is a pretty darn good BlackBery case.

The Executive Leather Shell is a two piece BlackBerry case that offers almost complete protection for your BlackBerry Storm. Only the side buttons and the screen are left unprotected. The back plate is made of a hard, but, flexible plastic shell overlaid with genuine leather. The front plate is a bit less rigid providing a rubbery feel and complete protection of the front and sides of your BlackBerry Storm.

The Executive Leather Shell for BlackBerry Storm doesn’t provide a belt clip, however, it is quite thin for a hardshell case and doesn’t feel bulky while in your pocket. The stylish design and touch of leather on the back plate quickly make you forget that this case only costs $9.95 + shipping and handling.

You can get more information about the Mobi Products Executive Leather Shell for the BlackBerry Storm in the RIMarkable Accessories Store.

$90,000 Diamond Encrusted BlackBerry Pearl

Robb Dunewood — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:59:32 +0000

There is nothing that says elegance like when you take a $100 BlackBerry Pearl and laden it with 18k solid white gold and encrust it with about 900, err, 12 carats of brilliant cut diamonds.

I am into nice things, however, I think that I would spend my $90,000 on something a bit more practical like a time shared lease in a corporate jet.
