Review of the Incipio Feather Case for BlackBerry Storm 2

The Incipio Feather case for the BlackBerry Storm 9520/9550 is a simple, snap-on design with an ultra-light, yet sturdy material that adds very little weight and thickness to your device. The Feather is perfect for Storm 2 users who want to to cover their device with a protective case that is inconspicous and light and lightweight. The Feather stands out with the addition of a handy stand for viewing your Storm 2 horizontally (great for nightstands).

The Feather's outer texture is soft to the touch and has a smooth surface that makes pulling your Storm 2 from pockets easy. The strong, polymer shell is less than 1mm thick according to Incipio's spec sheet, translating to a very low profile. Other than the enhanced feel and colorful paint job (I liked the red Feather which contrasted perfectly against the Black finish of my Storm 2), I could barely tell that the Feather was there. Incipio has truly achieved a super-light/low-profile design with the Feather.

As far as installation of the Feather, it is a relatively straight-forward process. Simply snap the case on over your Storm 2. All of the Storm 9520/9550 buttons, ports, and camera are fully accessible via precisely located cutouts in the Feather's body. The cutouts are recessed, which helps your fingers locate the controls easier and prevents accidental button pushes when handling your Storm 2. The touch screen and lower function keys on the front of the Storm 2 remain fully accessible and are completely unobstructed when the Feather is installed.

The appearance of the Feather, depending on the color you choose, can range from a casual Black to vibrant Red. Blue and Magenta colors are available as well. The finish, as I mentioned earlier, is smooth and comfortable to the touch. Screen protection is included with the Feather in the form of two, clear films that are self-adhesive. This extra bonus is especially important with the big, and somewhat exposed display that the Storm 2 has. The included stand comes as a separate piece (not attached to the case) and your Storm 2 simply rests in it for horizontal viewing. I find this very functional for use on the nightstand, when I use my Storm 9550 as an alarm clock.

In summary, the Feather is a very simple and functional design that looks good, feels good, and adds very little bulk to the Storm 2. There are cases out there that will provide more thorough protection, but if your looking for a case that will provide cushion for minor drops and bumps without adding much bulk to your Storm 2 and a complicated installation/removal routine, the Feather is the case for you.
