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:

What Happens When I Play With The New BlackBerry Too Much?

Billie demands pictures. I am impressed with the camera. It is much easier to use than the 9700 and takes really good pictures.

Deliveries

I got X-men First Class and my new phone case.....
Have to see how the case works out.  I was not impressed at first and it was a bit of a fight to get the phone in, but its growing on me. It does not cover the face of the phone at all.

Here is Kaylee play - she is #8

Soccer Practice Try #2

Wednesday's soccer practice were cancelled as soon as we got to the field.  Tonight we got in almost 30 minutes before the skies turned dark and we all took off to get on our way before the rain.

Kaylee goes off and practices with her team like a champ.  Billie on the other hand wants to chat to her teammates, her coach, and me after kicking the ball for five minutes.

Tomorrow is Kaylee's first game this season.  Billie's is not until next week.

We will see how soccer goes for the girls.

Upgraded to 9900

So this past Friday I picked up my new Blackberry, the 9900.  I have been waiting for this phone for a long time, I love the touch screen with the full qwerty keypad.  I am loving the snappier phone.
I decided to try the case mate tough case in part because it has pink (aka a color other than black) and I was not pleased with the Otterbox Defender for the 9700.  I found the arms on the holster part would break after a little use.  After getting it replaced I gave up.  I was using a Siedio until I wore it out, but they don't have 9900 cases yet.
I should get my case as early as tomorrow, hopefully no later than early next week.
