Rugged Update

I have to say I love this case. I thought it was too big and bulky at first, but it really is not.
The hardest part for me has been to remember to take the cover off the camera when I need to use it.
I have noticed I seem to make more typos with the screen cover than I did with it bare. Although I really didn't think about it until I read a post about it. Not sure why that would be versus the Otterbox as both basically just cover the keys with clear plastic.

I feel very secure about the holster and case. Unlike the Otterbox where an invisible crack would appear and make the 9700 slide out.
I like the look and feel of the case.

Another improvement over the Otterbox case, is that the touch pad is covered. I found on the Otterbox little bits of stuff, hair, fuzz, sand (I am in FL I am always fighting sand) would sneak under the opening for the touch pad and get up in the screen or down in the keypad. This would require removing the case to get in there to clean it out.

I also find the Seidio much easier to get on and off than the Otterbox.
I found I got used to the clip at the top to pop the phone in and out quickly. I had to watch myself because i want to fidget with the lock when my hands are free.
I don't think it would hurt the case to cut the camera cover off, although I don't think I will.

Seidio Inno Case Rugged Review

Innocase Rugged for the BlackBerry 9700 Bold First Impressions

There are four parts to the case, the two hard plastic covers that
snap on, one in the front, one in the back. There is a softer plastic
case it slips into after snapping on the hard case. Then the plastic
skeleton slides over top of the soft cover in the groves.

I snapped some pictures of the case as I took it out of the box. I am
not sure about the plastic covering over the track pad, although
surprisingly I didn't actually notice it once I got it on.
I found this case was easier to put on than the Otterbox Defender
because the keypad covering was attached to the case. I didn't have
to spend time lining up the clear plastic cover over the keys as I did
with the Otterbox.

I am not sure how I will like cover over the camera, but I am going to
see how it works out. There is a little peg on the camera cover that
fits nicely in a little hole to keep it away from the camera. The
only other area that gets uncovered is the usb and audio jack on theside.
I haven't used a holster with a top clip, or a lock before, so I will
have to see how it goes.

Overall, first impressions, I like the case. It has a nice look to it
and it was not hard at all to put on. I think I am going to like this
case. I have attached some pictures below. You can see all of them on my
Flickr page here.
