Sena Pearl Cases
4. Sena Leather Pouch
The Leather pouch is a very different approach to protecting the BlackBerry Pearl. Here are the specs on this case:
- Padded Protection
- Integrated ratcheting belt clip
- Soft Velvet Lining
- Top quality full grain leather
- Compatible with
- Blackberry's sleep function
- Compatible with Blackberry 8100 (Pearl)
Design:
The Leather Pouch is a very simple design - the BlackBerry slides inside the case, completely protected (except for the very top.) The case is made of a very soft, padded leather and offers lots of protection around the BlackBerry.
The Case has a built-in belt clip on the back which cleverly moves to the side for either vertical or horizontal use.
Craftsmanship:
Like the other Sena Cases, the Leather Pouch is made of top quality leather and feels great.
Convenience:
This is where the user needs to make a decision as to how they use their BlackBerry. I found it inconvenient to have to remove my Pearl completely from the case to use it. If I were to remove it, I could then drop and break it with no protection on the Pearl whatsoever.
If, you keep it in this case and use a Bluetooth headset, there is no need to continually take the Pearl out of the case (except to check email.)
Overall Conclusions:
This is another beautiful case but it did not suit my use of the BlackBerry like the other two. Sliding the BlackBerry in and out would invariable activate one of the side keys - so I had to remember to "lock" the Pearl before putting it into this case.
Pros:
- Typical Beautiful craftsmanship
Cons:
- Pearl need to be completely removed to use.
