I really was hesitant about buying this skin, but since it was made by B'Berry and the price was low, I thought I'd give it a shot.
It's a fantastic protective device for my phone.
It's very soft and not somewhat tacky like other silicone products can be. It fits perfectly and even has little nodules where the buttons on the phone are so that you can still tell where that pesky button is underneath the skin.
Don't understand the complaints about the thickness, the skin is meant to protect the phone not bulletproof it. I find the thickness adequate for the function of the product. Better yet, it offers a much more solid grip of the phone than without the skin.

This is the actual silicon case from Blackberry. Its nice, soft and does provide some protection. It fits the device pretty well and is easy to remove. I wish were just a little more rugged than it is, but it works just fine. I can access all the external buttons just fine. It looks good on the phone.
Shipped fast and case fits great. This is my 2nd Storm because I dropped the first one on hardwoods without a case and it immediately stopped working. I've dropped the 2nd one a couple of times but the case seems to give it a little bit of protection above making the casing not nearly as slippery.
This fits the Storm2 like a glove and it feels good in my hand. The skin is soft and gives the phone a little traction so that it doesn't slide across surfaces or out of my hand as easily. It is still easy to use the butotns on the phone and there is an opening for the side port so it can charge without takng the skin off. There is an extra opening on the back of the skin (there is also an opening for the camera lens) which I'm guessing may be used with a charging pad??
The addition of the skin makes for a tight fit in the OEM case. I suspect after a year or so either the skin will strecth out (it stretches a little everytime it is pushed into the case) or the OEM case will pull appart at the stitching.
If you're like me, you love to read reviews before you buy something but just want to get to the bottom line. So here it is:
Basic case for low cost. It's not an otterbox so it won't cushion a drop from a second floor window, but it provides enough protection for your everyday drops. Remember to buy a clear screen protector as well, since this provides no screen protection. It also provides basic spill protection in that it won't let water get to the battery immediately (tip: always disconnect your battery immediately after a spill and place your phone without the battery or battery cover on it submerged in a bowl of dry rice for two days. It is likely to survive!). If you need something very tough to protect against the elements, this is not the cover for you. If you need a skin to cushion from low drops or minor spills, this should do the trick!
Works great, fits well, doesn't add bulk.
Two complaints:
The sides don't completely cover the silver borders (minute, yet really irritating for me)
The volume buttons are almost flush with the rubber surface making it hard to discern between the two without looking - Accessories - Blackberry Storm 9530 - Cell Phone Cover - 9530'
