Review: Seidio CONVERT Case for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930

If you ever wanted more options with your selection in cases for your device, Seidio now gives you just that. With the recent release of their CONVERT case for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930, Seidio has now jumped into the rugged case world while also giving you two cases in one!

As I mentioned before, being involved in emergency services line of work I am always hard on my devices. I have to use something that can keep up with me and still perform like the case is not even there. Put on the first layer, the Seidio Surface case, when using your BlackBerry Bold 9930 everyday. When you're going to be in tough or rugged conditions, put on the Rugged Skin and Skeleton within seconds. When you don't need the extra protection, simply remove the Rugged Skin and Skeleton.

 

Seidio CONVERT case is made up of three parts:

Seidio SURFACE Case

Rugged Skin and Skeleton

Innocase CONVERT Holster

Pros:

Cons:

 

Final thoughts:

Whenever you add a rugged case to a device it may seem a little too extreme to some people, but when your device looks brand new after a crazy day on the job, that is a great outcome! Wipe it off and keep it keeps asking for more. I have always been a strong believer that rugged cases should provide the best protection so the consumer does not have to even think that their device may be damaged no matter what is thrown at it. Though there might be some issues with dirt and dust getting under the port covers, the Seidio CONVERT makes me feel confident that my device is secure and I can switch to the inner Seidio Surface case within seconds. If you're in some crazy environments for your job and lifestyle, the Seidio CONVERT case is something to definitely purchase.

Quick Review: Seidio CONVERT Combo for the BlackBerry Curve 3G and Curve 8520/8530

Maybe it’s just me, but I find the BlackBerry Curve Series to be extremely lightweight in design. So much so that it can be effortlessly tossed around, but that doesn’t mean you should actually do it – without proper protection of course. The Seidio CONVERT combo which, like any good onion (or ogre), comes with many layers. Underneath it all is a 0.1 mm thick screen guard to protect your screen against scratches. On top of that is the Seidio Innocase II, followed by the thick, rugged skin and plastic “spine” to hold it all together. All of this is then put in an extremely tough holster with a top clip design (good for belts up to 2 inches thick) to keep your BlackBerry from being easily dislodged.

Once everything is put together, you cannot see the Curve at all; which is good, as you can see in the video above. The rugged skin is thick enough to create a barrier that protects the front surface of the Curve from flat surface damage. Yet, the skin moves out of the way just enough to allow you to use the keyboard comfortably. As I inspected the case after the captured carnage, I couldn’t believe how minimal the damage was to the case. Not to mention that the Curve itself walked away unscathed. Even with the ‘Hulkbuster armor’ equipped, it doesn’t take away from the functionality of the Curve. All buttons were easily accessible, while the ports and camera lens are covered until needed. Rather than buying multiple cases for varying circumstances, why not take the smart (and economical) choice and pick up the Seidio CONVERT case for your BlackBerry Curve 93xx or 85xx smartphone. And yep, you can grab it from ShopCrackBerry.com!
