Review – Blackberry Pearl 3G Skin


Introduction

We all require some kind of protection for our gadgets. While some may need more protection at the cost of extra bulkiness, some people just require minimum protection and will not want to add much extra bulkiness.

But while Invisible Shields provide protection from scratches, it hardly provides any sort of protection from impacts. In such cases people resort to Rubber cases which provide protection from scratches as well as certain resistance to impacts. Here we are going to review the Blackberry Pearl 3G Skins.

Design and Build Quality

The Blackberry Skin is made up of rubber material. The case fits perfectly on the phone and gets aligned with the device. There are gaps for the Camera unit, speaker, microphone, microUSB and the 3.5mm audio jack. The media keys on the top, the volume keys and the programmable buttons on either sides have covering.

At the back of the case, there is the Blackberry logo just below the camera unit. The case is made from a material that’s different from usual. It is more flexible and thinner than usual rubber cases and also is smoother to touch. There are no awkward cuts or defects with the case.

Comfort

The case is extremely light and quite thin thus adding very little bulk. So you might not notice when you use the phone or while it’s in your pockets. The gaps in the case make it easier for the user to access the controls and units. The keys that have covering also work perfectly fine as the case does not hinder the ease of use. The case is smooth and feels good to touch.

Safety

Though the case is smooth to touch, it provides good grip while in your hands or while it is placed on a surface and thus prevents it from sliding and falling off places such as a car dashboard. The case will protect your phone from scratches and also dust. It can even protect it from shocks and bumps but if it’s from a great height, your device might be hurt.

Conclusion

If you want a stylish and sleek case for your Blackberry Pearl 3G that also provides protection, the official Blackberry Skin is the way to go. It also comes in different colours such as Waterloo Green, Henna Orange, Yellow Tub, Turquoise Tub, Translucent etc to meet your styling needs. You can purchase the cases here.
