Q: Is this custom made to the 8800/8830/8820 or is it one of those 8700 cases being pawned off as an 8800/8830/8820 case?
A: This is absolutely custom made for the 8800/8830/8820. Do not buy a case that is said to work with the 8800 and the 8700 series Blackberry’s. Not only are the 8700 cases a slightly different size, the sleeper magnet (designed to sleep your device when holstered) is in a different area. Everything on this case is guaranteed to work with your 8800/8830/8820
Q: Will the magnet flip impact the phones screen or reception?
A: If you’ve ever left your 8800/8830/8820 on a pile of change you will notice that it will pick up all of your silver change, the 8800/8830/8820 already has a big magnet built into the loud speaker and it has no negative effect on your device
Q: Is the clip removable?
A: The clip is not removable but it only adds a bit more than 1cm onto the depth of this case, some of us at Gizmoskin carry our device around in our pockets with this case, the clip is a nice additional option if you are not planning on regularly using it
Q: How snug of a fit is this case and will it bounce around inside or will the screen be scratched?
A: This case truly is the perfect fit, when your 8800/8830 is in this case and the magnetic flip is closed it will not move around but it is still a loose enough fit that you can easily slide it out with one hand to answer a call. The inside is made of a soft felt-like material and will not scratch your device!
Q: That doesn’t look like a swivel clip?!?
A: This is another great feature of this case, instead of having a huge visible ratchet system like the old plastic blackberry holsters this has the ratchet system build in under the leather in a cavity!
Q: Are there holes in the case that will allow me to plug my charger or headset into my 8800?
A: Yes. This case has been designed so that you can plug both your charger and headset into your 8800/8830 while inside this case
