 OEM Swivel Case for Blackberry Pearl February 19, 2007

I love my Blackberry Pearl and my swivel case is the icing on the proverbial cake. Good quality swivel mechanism that appears to have the potential to last a long time, something that prior holsters have failed to do. I also like the magnetic closure, which snaps closed securely and quickly once I place my Pearl into the case, without the need for finding a snap fitting. My older Blackberries have had cases which, after use, had their entries obstructed by flaps that fold over causing me to use the "two-handed" method for nesting my phone, one hand to move the flap out of the way, and the other to insert the phone into the case. This is a very frustrating occurence since I am usually attempting the more-preferred "one-handed" approach. Although still relatively new, my new case appears to have no such appendage which might at a later date become worn and tired thereby causing an obstruction.
Before I purchased my Leather Swivel case, I looked at 3rd party generic cases. Each of these were unable to "notify" my Blackberry that it was in its holster. With my new swivel case, as soon as I insert my Pearl, the display shuts off thereby extending battery life. In addition, this feature allows different profiles to be selected for when my BB is holstered or not. Also, since this is an OEM case, it was made especially for my Pearl. When holsetered, both the USB connector,the earphone outlets and the volume control buttons are all accessible. With non-OEM cases, in order to use a hands free device or to charge my phone, I might have to remove the phone from its case.
I am a little disappointed that the Pearl came with no case at all. This is probably due to its small size and your ability to just slip the phone into your shirt pocket, unlike prior Blackberry devices. Of course, that still exposes the vulnerable display to significant scratch-potential. They should have at least provided a simple pouch, which would provide some protection. This of course is a comment on the Pearl itself and not the swivel case, which is the subject of THIS review. All-in-all, I highly recommend this case for those of you who still wear your phones on your belt ... and since I'm at it, I LOVE MY PEARL.
Excellent case for the Pearl May 17, 2007

After using an OEM case that was far too large, I found this case on Amazon and just finally ordered it. Smaller web-based vendors can be iffy, but the case arrived when it was supposed to, and it was packaged very well for shipping.
I was very pleased with the quality of the case, first off. The leather is soft and well-stitched. It fits the phone very snugly without making it impossible to get the phone in and out. I like the vertical style cases more than the horizontal, and the swivelling belt clip is very sturdy. The flap is easy to open with one hand, and it doesn't interfere with accessing the phone.
The case also uses the magnets to put the phone into standby, which saves battery life and talk time. The design is obviously for the Pearl, as it leaves all the important jacks and ports accessible while the phone is still in the case.
You can't go wrong with this case if you need a basic, well-crafted, good quality case.

These cases were not available when the Pearl hit the market, we were able to get them from this merchant. Good quality item at a great price. Thank you.
Takes advantage of the Bb auto-off feature May 15, 2007

One drawback of any soap-bar, or candy-bar style phone is that you have to lock the keyboard with some button combination every time you put it away or it will dial the last person you called, or someone on speed-dial when you inadvertently push one of it's keys. This holster has magnets in it that automatically puts the Pearl in standby mode, which disables the keys. The belt-clip also allows you to rotate the holster into the most comfortable position you can for driving, or walking around.
