Case Mate Tough Case for BlackBerry 9900

Here it is. The case showed up via USPS yesterday. I have to say it was a bit of a fight to get it on properly. The case fits tight and has openings for the buttons, and you have to get them in properly in order to be able to use the phone.
I don't recall it being an issue with the Otterbox or Seidio cases I used on my 9700 - although they did have a lot of steps to get in and out.

A downside if you are looking for protection in your case, the Case Mate does not over the keys or the screen.

An upside, its not all black, which is a huge plus for me. Not that I am normally a pink fan, but the pink and black look nice.

The case has nice grippy texture to it. I was running into problems with the 9900 being rather smooth, it would slide off the top of my closed laptop at work. Now its not sliding if sat on a smooth surface that is not perfectly flat.

One other downside I ran into, the hole for the headphones is too small for the cord I have in my car to hook up to my stereo, but I had no problems plugging in my hands free or my charger.

Now I will admit at first I found myself wondering what the return policy was. However after a few hours I decided I would keep it.

And if you are wondering, the case does actually come in all black too, in case you like it, but pink is not your thing. You can check them out on amazon:
