speck.jpgIs my $200 BlackBerry Curve (and its $80 data plan) worth another 25 bucks to me? If that extra cash means I can avoid (more) scuffing to its plastic casing, then sure, I'd happily oblige. It'd also be nice if RIM wasn't quite so fond of glossy finishes that get so easily mucked up, but that's another story.

Speck's $25 SeeThru Hard Shell Case is a god-send for a single reason--It protects your LCD screen--and not-such-a-good-idea for a few others, not least of which it thickens the phone by about half. Still, though, if you're mean to your phone (as so many of us are), it's a sound investment.

My problems with the Hard Shell are 100 percent shallow, this I can admit. The glossy, clear plastic scratches easily, but better the case than your phone. It also comes with a detachable holster clip, which was handy for securing the 'Berry to the inside of my bag; if you're one of those who confuses phones with fashion accessories, then you can, naturally, secure it to your belt or pants' pocket.

Speck's SeeThru lineup includes cases for a variety of phones, portable devices, and laptops. Check out SpeckProducts.com to browse them all.
