Blackberry Curve 3G Otterbox Commuter Review

So, I was browsing the internet, searching Google for best cases for my Blackberry. Came across about a million reviews for Otterbox. So, I decided to look into it more and nothing but good reviews from buyers who have invested in an Otterbox. I ended up purchasing the Otterbox Commuter Series. This particular case fits Blackberry Curve 8520, 8530, 9300(3G), and 9330.

This case is very durable and consists of 3 layers.

Layer One

The first layer is a self-adhering clear screen protector. It is not like a lot the cheap flimsy screen protectors. It is a thick plastic material and I enjoy it very much. No air bubbles like a lot of the cheaper ones. It fits on like it isn't even there.

Layer Two

Layer two is a very clean white silicone protector. Cover all sides of the Blackberry.  Has a very unique feature with the silicone plugs for added protection to the headphone port and the USB charger port. Noting that the buttons are covered but still accessible because the added rubber over the button make it distinctly noticeable to where the buttons are for volume keys, and user programmable left and right dedication keys.

Layer Three

Final layer of protection on this Otterbox Commuter Series case for the Blackberry Curve series is the high-quality polycarbonate outer shell. Tough plastic covering everything but button placements and fitting over the silicone case very cleanly.

How To Put The Otterbox Commuter Case On Your Blackberry

Step One- Put the self-adhering screen protector. Making sure to clean the screen with a microfiber cloth first to rid of dirt and finger prints. Being careful not to put your finger prints on the sticky side of the screen. 

Step Two- Placing the silicone protector over the Blackberry. Start by slipping the top of the Blackberry in the top part of the silicone case. Pull the bottom of the cover over the bottom part of the phone and making sure that the plugs on the left side for headphone port and USB port are pushed in closed.

Step Three- Final step to having your Otterbox Commuter Case together is the polycarbonate shell. Very easily slip the cover from the back of the phone and click into place.

Conclusion- I recommend this case to anyone that has an Otterbox compatible phone. There are other series to the Otterbox which get more added protection each series. Next post will be of the Otterbox Defender Series for the Blackberry Curve 3G.
