I’m always impressed with OtterBox cases, and how they protect my BlackBerry. For the past week or so I’ve been testing out OtterBox’s new Commuter Series for the BlackBerry Tour. The Commuter Series is the mid-range case from OtterBox, which combines the best of both worlds with its tough silicon skin, and hard shell. The Commuter Series basically just combines two already great products, the Impact Series and Defender Series, which we’ve reviews lots.
Our friends at OtterBox have just introduced their latest case designed for the BlackBerry Tour. The new Commuter Case is a cross between OtterBox’s current Impact Skin and the heavy duty Defender Case. The Commuter series includes three layers of protection, the first being the screen protector, followed by the polycarbonate shell, and last the silicon skin. Starting today they are available from OtterBox for only $35, and should be arriving in the BBSync Store soon.
The OtterBox Commuterâ„¢ Series case for the BlackBerry® Tourâ„¢ 9600 Series offers the best of both worlds; incorporating elements from the rugged Defenderâ„¢ Series line with the silicone, skin-like Impactâ„¢ Series line to create a slick case designed with your style in mind. It’s protection without the bulk. The exposed silicone corners dissipate impact away from the device for additional bump and shock protection and the smooth outer layer allows the case to easily slide into your pocket or purse. All buttons are fully functional through the case and the audio jack and USB port are accessible through silicone plugs.
If you’ve ever looked at OtterBox cases in the past, you generally think of heavy duty and a little more bulky cases. Well today I’m showing you the Impact Case for the BlackBerry Tour 9600 series. OtterBox offers three different types of BlackBerry cases: Defender and Commuter Series, followed by the Impact series. Depending on how you’re looking to protect your phone the Impact skin does offer the most value for your dollar.
Think of the Impact Case as a tough and rugged version on RIM’s silicon skin. It features an all around wrap design with a bonus screen protector in box. Now unfortunately the Impact skin/case does not include a belt clip, and is a little too big to use in the stock case found in box. The Impact Case does however make a great pocket case.
Pros: More protection than more skins, great wrap around protection, extremely affordable!
Cons: No belt clip
Conclusion: My final thoughts on the OtterBox Impact Case is nothing but positive. I have switched from using a normal RIM “tough skin” to the Impact Skin by OtterBox, and have zero complaints. The overall fit is way better than any skin I’ve seen currently available for the Tour. I recommend you check out this case, if you’re looking for something to protect your device, without the huge added bulk of similar OtterBox products.
Where to Buy: Normally the OtterBox Impact Case for the Tour 9630 retails at $19.95 from OtterBox. Luckily the BBSync Store currently has them on sale for $17.95!

I know everyone has listed their favorite accessories for the Tour. I’m going to go through mine, and hope that everyone else keys in as well. Maybe there’s something none of us have checked out before. As a BlackBerry user who uses my phone for both personal and business, I’m going to touch on both.
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.
