Amazon has a great deal on a Black Rubberized Case for the Shadow right now. Its usual price is $19.99 but you can get it now for $5.39. It’s good for proctecting the edges and shine of your Shadow and also gives it a slightly different look. From the pictures it looks like it might help prevent some accidental calling/answering due to the Shadow’s raised Send/End buttons. I just ordered mine and expect it in a few days.
There is also a transparent case and one with a belt clip. If you find deals like this be sure to let us know in the Ask Mike page so we can tell everyone else!

the hell?! I needed one of theses 2 days ago when I dropped my phone and scratched the crap out of all the corners and my screen! I had a plastic one on my razor and it helped out alot!

no!!! it says its unavailable! how could this be?!

These cases are nice… but I think the one that comes with phone is better. It even has “SHADOW” on the side of it with a nice magnetic clip.

I have had a case like that for a couple months now. I does a good job of protecting your phone, but for me it makes it hard to get to the soft keys and camera key. I finally took it off.

actually, i bought this case off ebay and its nice and all but one thing bugs me quite a bit about it. well besides making certain keys hard to get to like stephen said… when you snap the case on it actually separates the phone quite a bit. near the end of the shadow, near the keyboard, when the phone is shut with the case on, there is actually a decent sized gap made because of the snap on case. i don’t know, it bugged me quite a bit so i took it off.

So this may be a stupid ? but w/the black or clear case can you still slide the phone open? Doesn’t seem like you’d be able to but just thought I’d ask. Just got a shadow last night.

I bought this off ebay too and it works great - it comes in 2 halves that snap to the front and back of the shadow an has kept mine safe for months now. its a very good purchase.

Here’s another good reason to check allshadow.com everyday, I just followed the link to Amazon for the black rubber case and the price is back upto $19.99 & soldout!

Caloberg, it’s back in stock. Maybe their initial inventory numbers ran low and now they updated again. Still there if people want to go and grab one.

actually the case is good for protecting the phone but 1. it don’t fit in the case anymore and 2. trying to get it off can damage the phone.

Thank-you Mike. I don’t have a computer on the internet, is there a way to create an Amazon account with PayPal, using only the Shadow?

Amazon site linked to a “partner site” that had the case for $3.95. Came to $9.00, shipped. You can get these at http://www.wirelessaccessories.com/storefrontprofiles/deluxeSFshop.aspx?Faceplates%20-%20Covers&sfid=134039&c=163866&gclid=CKbK_eCu1ZICFQQxgwodxg3i9w for $5.95 in a bunch of colors, or google the product description.

sweet the other site that was posted has a lime green one! im gonna order me that one also!

Does this include a screen cover? While browsing Shadow cases I took notice that some descriptions pointed out that the particular cases did not have screen covers and I didn’t notice any that said there was.
