I recently purchased this cell phone case for my blackberry pearl, and It by far is the best case I have had for my cell phone. My wife and I both have blackberry pearls, and I purchased this case for me, and a see through hard plastic case for my wifes phone. This leather looks and feels like an expensive cell phone case that I would buy from a higher end department store. I have accidentally dropped my cellphone on many occasions as I am in the construction business, and this case has kept my phone safe. It is easy to zip over the phone and it is very easy to push the keys on the keyboard over the plastic protective material. If you get drywall or dirt in the case, simple unzip it and blow the dust out. I would recommend this case to everyone who wants a durable case that can be clipped onto a belt, or just thrown into a bag or purse. However, I would recommend covering the screen with a screen protector prior to zipping the phone into the case..
