Body Glove is a popular brand among water sports enthusiasts; specializing in everything from diving gear to surfing accessories. They too receive their men in the mobile case market and are becoming a big player among BlackBerry users with their highly-functional, extremely comfortable protective cases. I'll focus on the Body Glove Snap-On for the BlackBerry Curve 8520/8530 for this review.he Body Glove Snap-On for the Curve 8520/8530 features Body Glove's signature "glove" material that feels great in your men and greatly improves grip. The logic being that if you're into water sports, you'll likely have wet hands so the extra grip could do in handy. Even though I strongly urge you don't use your BlackBerry while cruising around on your jet ski; to each their own I guess.Anyway, the Snap-On comes in two pieces - a movement and rear section. The event simply snaps together over your Curve 8500 and fits nice and snug. The convenience buttons at the top of the Wind as good as the side buttons are accessible via roomy cutouts in the case body. The charging port and headphone jack are as accessible within the cutouts. The camera, speaker, and LED have dedicated cutouts as well. Everything lines up as it should and the cutouts are recessed to help prevent accidental button pushes as good as making it easier for your fingers to get the hold your look for.What makes the Body Glove Snap-On stand out, IMHO, is the textured, glove material that coats the outside of the case. The sense of the subject in your hands is absolutely great, which improves ergonomics when using your Curve 8500. The straight black finish doesn't get too bold of a statement but yet has a somewhat classy appearance.The Snap-On is a hard-shell design; meaning that impact protection is superb and the home of the subject is lined to add cushion to the Curve 8500 within the case. The event is very lightweight as easily to celebrate the charge of your Curve at a minimum.Now the better part. The included belt clip, which is fully rotational, also includes a built-in kickstand to allow hands-free viewing of the Curve 8520/8530. The kickstand even has 3 different angles to adjust the watch to your liking. The event is easily removed from the belt clip with a handy button release. The boss that the belt clip attaches to is also removable to make a flat, back surface for times when you need to pocket-carry your Curve. Body Glove has also included a "hack" to meet the fix where the boss was set to hold the sleek looks of the Snap-On while the belt clip is removed.I try to save my case reviews as indifferent as possible, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of every face I review. In the type of the Body Glove Snap-On (pun intended), I can't seem to feel anything "bad" about this cause and it yet remains one of my favorites. The Body Glove Snap-On for BlackBerry Curve 8520/8530 has great functionality, usability, and protective qualities; all features to wait for in a premium case design. I should also mention that the Snap-On for the Curve 8520/8530 also fits on the newer Curve 9300/9330 (Curve 3G) since the devices have the same dimensions and feature placement.Wes
