Blackberry 8830 Holster Pattern

Thanks Noah! I really appreciate your help.

Hi Dave,

The Blackberry Curve is a bit smaller than the Blackberry 8830, but it will still work--the Curve is probably about 1/8" narrower and just a hair thinner.

I just tested it and it still works fine for me, but they have added some popups and junk to the website it's hosted on so I'm putting it back up on mediafire anyway:

The link does not work. Can you send a different link or send it to me on email?

I have a blackberry and would love to make a case for it...

None of the links above work for me. Is there a chance

anyone has a copy of the pattern that they could share?

It would be good of you could make the pdf file a jpg.....

Thanks in advance

Look at http://leatherworker...one#entry203688 for some ideas

Here is one for a BB Torch 9800 ripped apart.

BB Case 9800.pdf This pdf has not been scaled, so if you turn off scale to fit, it will print actual size. I suspect you may have trouble reading some of my notes. My writing has become very shakey some days over the past 5 years.

The OEM BB Case was sewen on a serger likely so has almost zero seam allowance. So probably add at least 1/8" all the way around. For thicker leather, use more. The front and back magnets turn off the screen when in the pouch. Sensor is in the back of the BB. So with a magnet on the front and back, it doesn't matter whcih way it goes in the case. Cut the strap extra long. Depends on your leather thickness as to how long it actually needs to be. Thicker the leather, longer strap required. The microfibre lining is not shown in the photo. You could use any soft leather with the suede (flesh) side against the phone. Kind of wipes it like the microfibre stuff does.

Dimensions for BBs are available on their site, for the Torch 9800, see http://ca.blackberry...-specifications

If the case is made too snug, the little switches on the sides of the phone will be activated when the BB is forced into the case. That will cause software/firmware problems and can cause the BB to hang. Then the battery has to be removed, so the phone can reboot. Your client won't like that (even if it is for your phone).
