Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great case if you are just looking for maximum protection for your Blackberry Tour. I've dropped mine twice since I've got it so that is what prompted me to check out getting a case for it. The Otterbox is built like a tank. The buttons around the side of the phone are easily pressed and the ports are also accessible. The screen cover is also great. I do have a few caveats about the case though.
For one, the case covers my screen up a little at the top. I don't know if it is just a problem with my case or with the whole product line, but it's not terrible so I can live with it. Also, the edge of the case around the keyboard is raised up enough so that someone with big hands (like me!) will have trouble pressing the buttons closest to the edge. I usually press both of the two edge buttons if I just try to press the outside one. Typing has been difficult since I started using the Otterbox.
If I could go back I probably wouldn't have gotten this particular case although it offers excellent protection. It's just has a few functionality problems that I'm not sure are worth the protection.
***New Update - 10/21/2009***
I've completely stopped using the Otterbox case. The new problems I've came across are too numerous to overcome. I've now realized I can't feel the phone vibrate if it's in the holster on my hip. Since I use my phone at work at the hospital to communicate with my physician and other employees this is a necessity for me since I can't have the ringer on. The sound quality took a big hit also when I started using the case. There is some kind of cover over the speakers and other openings on the phone that greatly inhibits the sound quality during calls. I had to turn the call volume all the way up on the phone to get just moderate volume through the case.
I would now only give this case 2 stars if I could go back and give it another rating. The protection it provides is great, but there are too many other caveats that make this case unusable for me. I would try to discourage others from buying it also.
