I like the way this case looks and feels, and the belt-clip is very good. But it may not be an "official" Blackberry product, becasue it doesn't seem to put the 8700 into sleep mode properly. The screen goes off when you put it in, but my batteries were dying after 10-20 hours under regular use, whereas with my old belt clip (the hard plastic one which comes with the 8700), my batteries would last for 3 or 4 days. That was really inconvenient, so I had to go get another "official" Blackberry hard-plastic case, which I don't like the look of as much.
