rbb1-8500s-20-c5otr

Our friends at OtterBox made a some what quiet product launch this week. OtterBox has just introduced the Impact Series Case for the BlackBerry Curve 8520. Think of the Impact Series to be a enhanced version of RIM’s silicon skin, but with way more protection. The Impact Skin wraps around your Curve leaving only the screen and keyboard open. It’s a great case for those on the go who don’t want to carry a huge case.

Wrap your BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 in this protective silicone case. More than just a simple silicone skin, the Impact™ Series case offers added protection from bump and shock by adding inner coring to dissipate impact away from the device. All buttons, functions, and ports are fully accessible through this case, and it looks great wrapped around your BlackBerry Curve 8520. It includes a self-adhering screen protector to protect your screen from scratches and smudges.

Pick one up at OtterBox.com for $19.95 >
