Review: DualPro Hard-Shell Case With Silicone Core From Incipio

image

As many of you know from my review on the BlackBerry Q10 I have been without a case on my Q10 since I received it. Well the great folks over at Incipio have a DualPro hard-shell case with silicone core that is exactly what I needed to protect my device and I just wanted to tell you a little about it.

When I received the case in the mail the first thing I noticed was the packaging that it came in. As you can see from the image below it comes in a plastic case to make sure that nothing happens to it during shipping. For me, it’s a great start knowing the company cares enough about the items I ordered arriving in tip-top shape allowing me to enjoy them without any issues.

Once I opened the packaging there were two pieces to the case, a Rigid Plextonium hard shell frame and a impact absorbing silcone core. Incipio engineered this case with a dual layer design to provide shock absorbing protection while maintaining the device’s shape. They also included a clear screen protector, microfiber cleaning cloth, and applicator card. Me personally I don’t like to use screen protectors but it’s nice to see it included for any of you that may need that complete protection for your device.

For all of you that like things simple then this is the perfect case for you, because putting it on your BlackBerry Q10 couldn’t be easier. All I had to do was place my device into the soft silicone core and then place the hard plextonium shell around the core and device. Took me all of a minute to start protecting my Q10.

Once I had the DualPro hard-shell case with silicone core in place I noticed that there were cutouts for my USB/HDMI ports, media keys, device lock button on top, as well as one on the back for my camera. I also noticed that my device now had all around protection for those times that I may become clumsy with the device in any way, and believe me I seem to drop my phone way to often. It even has a small lip on the front just in case I drop it face first.

Now here comes the part where I point out what is wrong with this case and honestly I only have one small issue with it. Once I had the case in place it seemed to add a little bulk to my Q10, but then again that could have just been me. I’m so use to having the device naked that placing any case on it felt weird. I’m sure over time the more I have it on the Q10 the more I will get use to it. Other than that small issue I highly recommend this case to all of you because it definitely provides the protection I’m looking for and I’m sure it will for you as well.

Here are some of the measurements on this case.

  • Length: 4.87 in (123.70 mm)
  • Thickness: 0.09 in (2.29 mm)
  • Width: 2.82 in (71.63 mm)
  • Depth: 0.55 in (13.97 mm)
  • Weight: 1.1 oz

So if you are ready to provide your BlackBerry Q10 with the great protection that I am now experiencing then head on over to Incipio and grab your DualPro hard-shell case with silicone core. They are available in White or Gray and will only set you back $29.99, which is well worth the money. In fact for those of you that have more than one BlackBerry device Incipio has you covered, because the Incipio website has accessories for many different devices, be sure to check them out.
