For a while I have been using the Blackberry priv as my phone, camera, and entertainment device. It’s been quite the phone and it has gone through lots of adventures with me. I will say that I highly enjoy it and I am quite surprised that it has held up this long. But of course I had to buy it with my own hard earned money almost three years ago now and I will say that when you buy something with you own money vs a hand me down it really does make a difference. The only thing I really don’t like about the phone is that I had to buy a specific case to make sure that it doesn’t get cracked or broken by my clumsy self.
It took me a while to find a case that basically "covered" the phone and gave it protection. The phone came with these protectors that only snapped onto the back and slightly gave the front protection but not full coverage. For someone like me, that just wasn’t going to fly. I have a real habit of dropping my phone, mostly because I accidently bump into it and it falls or the cats have something to do with the incident. Either way, I needed something to cover the entire phone.
So I ended up buying one of those phone cases that is also a wallet. It has a little magnetic flap to keep it closed and has three slots for cards and a slot for physical money. It can't hold a lot of stuff but it’s something. And of course I have found that it does the job just right. The case is real beat up but I can't complain with the way it has protected my phone. It gives me full coverage and I have storage space. I think that is a win, win.
Right now though I am looking towards a better phone that I could upgrade to. The priv is finally meeting an end. Its lagging, the battery is dying faster, and it’s have little spaz attacks every so often. The camera is still amazing and I still love every bit of it but everything else is not so good when your work is on the internet.
But if you are looking for a phone that is pretty decent, has a nice screen, takes good quality photos and so forth I would take a look at the Blackberry Priv. I think it’s a great phone and I highly recommend it.
