The Blackberry Curve Leather Pocket Case from Wirexgroup is a great carry and protection solution for the Blackberry Curve.
The case is made of high grain leather that provides strong scuff protection and doesn’t tear easily. The stitching was good quality and the interior soft felt padding kept the phone from getting scratched.
The stitching on the case was smooth and did not have any sharp edges.
The rotating swivel belt clip makes it easy to clip onto a belt, pocket, purse strap, or other location.
The hidden magnetic strip puts the Blackberry phone into sleep mode saving your battery.
The case works great. The leather was soft but also tough and the interior felt lining provided great scratch protection for the phone. The sleep mode magnet is a great added bonus.

This Milante Skin Case is a very similar fit and feel to the Blackberry Original skin cases. The main difference between the two is the Milante skin case has a small cut-out divider between the screen and the keys. This divider keeps the skin in place better and provides a tighter fit.
Additional outs around the case are placed where the opening for all the charging ports, camera and headset port. The case does not have a belt clip, so for those people who are looking for something to protect their phone but don’t want the added bulkiness of a belt clip, this is a great product.
It completely protects the back, top, bottom and sides of the phone. The case has a smooth, soft feel to it, not rubbery like other skin cases. It stretches just enough to get the phone in, then literally fits like a layer of skin.
Milante is well known for quality leather holsters and their entry into the silicone cover market is great news for those that like these types of skins. As a name synonymous with quality, you know these skins will fit right and provide lasting protection.

This Blackberry Original Leather Holster works great for the Blackberry Curve series phones. The Holster is made of a nice, soft lambskin leather exterior that looks and feels nice with a ratcheting swivel belt clip permanently attached to the back. It comes in 6 different colors: black, burnt sienna, ecru tan, white, apple red, & pink. This gives you a variety of options so that you can have a color for any occasion. Another great feature of the case is the built-in proximity sensor, which can recognize when the phone device is in place and automatically shuts off the screen in order to help maximize battery life. This technology also allows you to choose different notification settings for incoming calls, emails and other functions based on whether your device is in or out of the holster.
Blackberry describes the holster as -
No matter how much you love your new BlackBerry® smartphone, sooner or later you’re going to have to put it away. And there’s no safer, more convenient or better-looking place to put it than inside a Leather Swivel Holster, in your choice of color. The Leather Swivel Holsters are outfitted with a swivel clip to adjust the holster for maximum wearing comfort. For some smartphones, they also include special indentations that snuggly protect your smartphone’s trackball.A durable leather exterior protects the device, while its soft interior safeguards and cleans the screen. The magnetic proximity sensor tells your BlackBerry smartphone when you’ve put it away – so it can automatically switch off the screen and preserve your battery life. The sensor can also work with your device to enable it to switch notification settings depending on if your device is in or out of the case.
This is a good quality unit. The leather is soft but tough and the belt clip is strong. If a holster is your choice for carrying your blackberry, you should definitely consider one of the OEM holsters.

The Bury Comfort Cradle for Blackberry Curve, 8300, 8310, and 8320 phone is a convenient way to mount your phone in a car. This cradle, made specifically for these Blackberry phones, provides a solid fit, power, and an external antenna connection. You can increase your signal reception either with the included blade style antenna or by connecting the cradle to a signal booster such as the Wilson Amplifiers.
While the cradle does not provide hands free functions, teaming it with a good Bluetooth Headset or Car Kit completes the package.
The Bury cradle is good quality, fits the phone well, and works as advertised. The external antenna connection is a real plus for those that need to increase their signal. It also makes it easy to see your phone in the car and provides all the benefits of a full install car kit when used with Bluetooth headsets or car kits. We prefer the Bluetooth headset just so we can use it in or out of car.
Bury also makes its own line of Bluetooth Car Kits including units with large LCD touch screens. More info on those at a future date.
