Overall –
On the whole, the OtterBox 1937 is just about the toughest case you can get for your BlackBerry while still being practical and portable. It might not be hardcore enough for whitewater rafting trips, but can handle any other mid-rugged environment you could throw at it. The OtterBox for the BlackBerry Bold builds off of a lot of tricks established for the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl versions, but does make substantial improvements for RIM’s current flagship device. The few small hangups including an overly tight holster, a flash-muddling camera protector, and a couple errant bubbles are easily outweighed by the overall strong craftsmanship and preservation of the Bold’s outstanding speaker quality. The price might seem high, but as an insurance policy on your Bold, you’ll be happy you had one. Heck, Boy Genius would have been. If a flimsy silicone bumper is not enough and a cast-iron safe is too much, the OtterBox is right for you. Interested? Grab one now for $49.95.
