This is a review I have been dying to do for some time now.这是一个检讨,我已垂死做了一段时间现在。 (Just ask my chief editor and the guys at Otterbox marketing division…”When?”"When?”"When?”). (刚才问我的总编辑和球员在otterbox营销部… … “什么时候? ” , “什么时候? ” , “什么时候? ” ) 。 Well the time has come and I wanted to get this one out ASAP so those people out there who are considering putting one on their wish list to post to Santa can do so armed with a bit more information.以及时机已到,我要得到这个一列ASAP的,所以这些人在那里谁正考虑把他们的愿望清单张贴到圣可以这样做,配备了一台位的更多信息。 The new OtterBox cases have lived up to the quality and standard of the新otterbox案件没有辜负以质量和水平的 original 8800 case that previously won our Editors Choice Award原来的8800案件以前赢得了我们的编辑选择奖 . 。

First Impressions: 第一印象:
They both came with comprehensive installation instructions, cleaning cloth, screen install card and the standard advertising pack.他们都来到了全面的安装说明,清洁布,屏幕上安装卡和标准的广告包。
Installation is not as hard as some reviews will have you believe.安装是不是很难正如一些评论将有你相信。 You just have to make sure to clean the device properly before you attempt to fit the membrane cover over the screen and keypad.你刚才要确保清洁装置妥善之前,您尝试,以适应膜盖屏幕和键盘。 The rest is easy and fairly straight forward.其余的是很简单的比较直前进。 Just make sure the dust filters line up with the holes they are meant to be protecting, clip the 2 sides of the hard case together, slip on the silicon cover and you’re done.只要确定的灰尘过滤器,线与孔他们的意思是要保护,夹子2 ,双方的辛勤案件一起,滑移对硅封面,你就大功告成了。
In The Field: 在该领域:
To put these through a real life test I thought I would just go about my daily routine of work (I’m not a writer in real life, in case you hadn’t guessed).把这些通过一个真正的寿命试验,我以为我只想去我的日常工作(我不是一个作家,在现实生活中,如果你还没有猜到) 。 My weekly routine normally includes; working on construction sites,small amount of office work, servicing automation equipment in industrial and commercial situations (including coolrooms and freezers) and then there is the typical weekend of 4×4 ing and sport (Baseball).我每周例行通常包括;在建筑地盘工作,少量的办公室工作,服务自动化设备在工业和商业的情况(包括coolrooms和冷冻) ,然后有是典型的周末, 4 × 4荷兰和体育(棒球) 。 All of that combined with 24/7/365 after hours callout that I’m also on (gives me a legitimate excuse to carry my BlackBerry on me at all times) should give these 2 cases a pretty good workout.所有这些结合24/7/365小时后,标注说,我还就(给我一个合法的借口来进行我的黑莓对我在任何时候都)应给予这些2例,一个不错的锻炼。
My first concern was that OtterBox might not have designed the case as BlackBerry had intended and placed a magnet in a specific spot in the case to switch the unit off when holstered.我的第一个关注的是, otterbox ,可能不会有设计的情况下,作为黑莓本来打算放在磁铁在一个特定点的情况下切换单位时, holstered 。 (I did the ‘wave over’ thing with my Curve before I assembled it all and couldn’t get the screen to switch off). (我没有'地波超'的事与我的曲线之前,我组装这一切并不能得到屏幕关掉) 。 All my fears were squashed when it did exactly what BlackBerry had designed it to do when I first put it in the holster.我所有的担心squashed时,它究竟黑莓已设计还是把它做当我第一次把它放在该holster 。 Another thing I have read in other review is how bulky these cases are.另一件事我已看过在其他检讨的是如何笨重,这些案件。 This is one thing that I did not consider to be an issue as the size increase is only minimal.这是一件事,我并没有考虑到一个问题,作为大小的增加只是微乎其微。 Apart from carrying 2 BlackBerrys around with me all week, I had absolutely no hassles from either case and they protected one (or 2) of my most prized possessions to the fullest.除了进行二在Blackberrys左右,与我所有星期,我完全没有麻烦,从上述任何一种情况下,他们保护一(或二)我的最珍贵的财产,以充分发挥。 The positive click upon re-holstering gives you that sense of security that your BB is going to be in the same place you left it when you need it next.积极按一下后,再holstering也能让您的安全感,您的bb是要在同一地方,你离开它当您需要它下一步。
I used to have to make sure I had reasonably clean hands before sending an email or making a phone call before, but with the full keypad protection offered by the included membrane, this is something I don’t have to worry about anymore.从前我必须确保我曾在合理干净的手之前,发送电子邮件或决策打电话之前,但与充分的键盘所提供的保障所包含的膜,这是我手边没有担心了。 The only part of the BB exposed to the outside environment is the trackball itself (and that is only when it is out of the holster).唯一的一部分的BB接触到的外部环境是轨迹球本身(这是只有当它是出于对holster ) 。 All of the buttons are still usable whilst in the OtterBox and there is an attached silicon rubber plug that fits in snuggly over the earphone/charger/sync port so you do not need to remove the device from the case to charge or sync.所有的按钮仍然可用,而在该otterbox ,并有一个附加硅橡胶堵塞适合在snuggly超过耳机/充电器/同步端口,使您不必删除该设备,从案件的起诉或同步。
Every item on your Pearl or Curve is usable while it is in the OtterBox case and the only thing I found to be a problem was a ‘Battery Pull’ reset.每一个项目对您的珍珠或曲线是实用,而这是在该otterbox的情况和我唯一发现的一个问题是一个'电池拉'重置。 (As BB owners we all have to do these once in a while).(I’m sure I have seen an application some where that allows you to do a reset from the screen…I will check it out and let you all know…). ( BB心跳业主,我们都做这些曾经在一则) 。 (我敢肯定,我所看到的一个应用的一些地方,让你做一个重置从屏幕上… …我将检查出来,让大家都知道… ) 。 The sound remains uninterrupted by the case as the speaker (and microphone) just have a dust filter over the top.声音仍然是不间断的,由案件作为议长(和麦克风)刚才有灰尘过滤器超过顶端。 The status LED is still visible although only partially whilst in the holster.主导地位的仍是可见,虽然只是部分,而在该holster 。
One point I would like to make very clear… These cases Do Not make your Curve 0r Pearl waterproof, so I don’t want any reply’s that read “My BlackBerry is no longer working after I decided to go for a swim (or shower, surf, car-wash etc) after reading your review.一一点,我想作出很清楚…这些情况下不使您的曲线0r明珠防水,所以我不想作出任何答复的写着“我的黑莓不再是工作后,我决定去游泳(或淋浴,冲浪,汽车清洗等)后,读您的检阅。 I thought you said they are indestructible.我以为你说,他们是坚不可摧的。 When should I expect you to send me a new BlackBerry?我应该在什么时候希望你寄给我一个新的黑莓? The 9000 series looks great. 9000系列看起来很大。 Do you think I can have one of those?” The answer to all the above questions is No…(I don’t even have the rumored 9000s yet) They are Not Indestructible!!!你认为我可以有一人“ ?回答上述所有问题是没有… … (我什至不有传言9000 ,但)他们不是坚不可摧的! Other things you can not do to your BlackBerry whilst it is in the OtterBox included, but not limited to; shooting it with a high powered weapon (like the one pictured above), dropping it from a very tall building (actually no building over 1.5m tall is recommended), throwing it out of a perfectly good (or crappy) aircraft at 30,000 ft, using it as a ball when you have mis-placed your baseball, etc, etc, etc.其他的东西,你不能做的到您的黑莓,而这是在该otterbox包括,但不限;射击,它具有高动力武器(如1图以上) ,下降,它从一个非常高层建筑(其实没有建设超过1.5米高是推荐) ,投掷出来的一个绝对的好(或crappy )飞机在三万英尺,用它作为一个球时,你有错放置棒球等,等,等。
Seriously though, you have a pretty serious bit if electronic hardware in your pocket.虽然严重,你有一个美丽的严重一点,如果电子硬件在您的口袋中。 If it suffers any kind of real shock or water ingestion it will most probably fail on you (If not right away, then sometime in the near future).如果它受到任何形式的实质休克或水的摄取,它极有可能失败对你(如果不是马上,然后一段时间,在不久的将来) 。 Even though you wrap it up in cotton wool (or in this case, an OtterBox), it is still susceptible to severe shock and water damage.即使您总结了在棉花羊毛(或在这种情况下,一otterbox ) ,它仍然是容易受到严重的冲击和水的损害。 We are guilty of我们犯了 posting a link to the Blackberry guys and their testing video on YouTube a couple of months back张贴连结到黑莓球员和他们的测试视频在YouTube上数个月回 . 。 As most of you who watched it, this was done in jest and by people who have a never ending supply of BlackBerry’s and OtterBox’s.由于大部分你谁看了它,这样做是在开玩笑和人民谁有一个无休止的供应黑莓的和otterbox的。 Unless OtterBox and BlackBerry would like to enter into a deal with me to extreme test their products then I, like the rest of you, will be using mine as a normal day to day case.除非otterbox和黑莓想进入处理与我极端测试其产品的话,我一样,其余的你,将使用地雷作为一个正常的日常工作情况。 If any problems do occur in the future, I will post a reply here or edit this article.如果有任何问题发生在未来的日子,我将张贴在这里答复或编辑这篇文章。

Did the Otterbox case have a swiveling belt clip so that the Blackberry can be worn vertically or horizontally?没有otterbox案件有一个旋转带的剪辑,使黑莓可以佩戴纵向或横向?
Thanks,谢谢,

The case actually has what they call a ratchet clip.案件其实他们所谓的一棘轮剪辑。 It has about 8 or 10 different positions that it will “lock” into.它大约有8或10个不同的立场,这将“锁定”到。 It requires extra force to move the clip from each locking position so it has quite a bit of flexability.它需要额外的力量动议剪辑从每个锁定的立场,因此,有相当一些flexability 。
Hope that helps!希望帮助!

Glenn,格伦,
Sorry Mate.抱歉伴侣。 Yes it does.是它。 As Ronen stated it does come with the ratchet clip.作为ronen说明它来与棘轮剪辑。 Works really well and has enough room to clip over the most sturdy belts around.ie: I wear an ‘Uncle Mikes’ military/police belt at work and the belt clip fits perfectly regardless of the bulk…工程真的很好,有足够的空间剪辑过的最坚固的安全带around.ie :我穿了一个'叔叔麦克风'军事/警察带在工作和带剪辑完美,无论大部分…
