This Plastic-Hard "Soft-feeling" shell has been a worse than expected solution.

My wonderful amazing girlfriend :) bought this for me as a surprise for my blackberry curve and

after using it for several months this is my review.

What I like:

It feels sturdy

The soft finish feels quite smooth and nice in the hand

The color I got is Black which almost looks like a matte finish black (ie a car painted black matte)

What I don't like:

The shell is a little "too thick" so that some of the buttons on the edge between shell and buttons are harder to get to.. So the shell gets in the way.

Though one would think that the two halves making a shell for the Curve would be an easier and more

well protected option for small "falls", I have found that this shell easily opens apart leaving the phone unprotected after the first "bounce".

I have also found that for some reason the shell rubs on the top part of the screen leaving small

scratches on the part of the screen that it is supposed to protect.

Something that I thought was a pain:

Sometimes the Blackberry Curve screen freezes. Initially, I would always have to take the battery out to restart my phone. So, having a shell that one has to open every time the phone freezes was a little annoying until I found out that one can click on the "alt caps and delete" at the same time to restart the phone.

I hope this was helpful.
