 Second skin July 18, 2007

While not an essential, this thin, easy-to-use skin adds a scosh of protection,improved grippability, and improved stability on smooth surfaces to my Curve. It also makes the phone a bit less likely to fall out of a breast pocket. The holes for various ports (and the camera) are perfect. Not quite as rubbery as I'd expected. I'm glad I got it.
Available in a wide variety of colors, but black goes with everything.
Functional, looks good, what more could you want? August 24, 2007

I'm very happy with this skin. It is a smooth black rubber, with an embossed "Blackberry" logo on the back. It is very sleek and adds very little bulk, yet seems to provide a nice level of protection (I dropped my Curve with this on and it's still working just fine). One question I had as I was shopping was whether or not this includes a face protector for the Curve. It does not -- the face is not protected, so you may want to order separate face protectors to avoid scratching. The skin provides good access to all buttons, including the popular "standby" button on top, and the two slots on top that I haven't figured out why they exist yet (cooling?).
 Good item but not perfect November 8, 2007

This skin adds a nice bit of protection to my BB Curve. It slips on easily and amazingly has only come off on rare occasions. It is soft and easy to grip but I do have some gripes.
I carry my Curve in my pocket. When I wear pants it is no problem but I can't carry the curve in jeans when it is in this skin.
1) It doesn't offer protection to the screen and keyboard. I know that would make it hard to use but it is something to consider.
2) The edges constantly flop around and catch on things. As I take it out of my jeans pocket it grabs the edge of the jeans pocket, comes off and flops around.
So I give it 4 stars. It is better than nothing but I have ordered a hard case. I will see if that works better.
It adds a nice cover to my BB curve. While it adds a nice cover to curve
 Doesn't fit as well as it should, tactile adhesion is poor March 3, 2008

The first thing that happened when I applied the skin to my blackberry is it slipped right out of my hand and hit the floor. The rubber is actually pretty slick, and impairs your grip on the phone. Whether it protects it from the shock of hitting the ground, I have no idea.
Additionally, the fit itself is loose, and can come off accidentally if it's pulled out of something that does adhere to it, such as denim. So if you're the sort that carries the phone around in your pocket, rather than on a holster, the skin is just about worthless.
However, it does offer some very minor water protection, and does prevent the back from getting scratched (although I have no idea why people would be worried about the back of the phone), and it's dirt cheap. There are better products on the market, but this one is the cheapest. And, of course, you get what you pay for.
Fantastic Product October 10, 2007

Skin actually saved my blackberry. Left the house and drove about 1/4 mile and realized had left Blackberry at home. Went home...no blackberry. Went to car and it was on roof of the car. Had driven 1/2 mile with it up there and only reason it didn't fall off was skin.
