Will Otterbox be coming out with a yellow defender series case for the Blackberry Curve 8900 at anytime? I have the black one and its awsome. I see the BB Bold has a yello case available.

Hi Poncho--Thanks for your comment. First, we recommend keeping the volume around 6 or 7, if it is too high sometimes that dampens the sound quality. Also, another suggestion is when you’re on the phone you can try opening up the charging port. This allows the sound to flow through a bit better depending on your reception and volume level. We don’t recommend altering the case in any way as this will void the warranty. You can also reach our customer service department at customer.service@otterbox.com or 888-695-8820.

I just got the defender case for my blackberry tour 9630 and it seems to really dampen the sound quality making it hard to hear the ppl on the other end of the line. I noticed the white membranes that cover certain ports such as the speaker port. Wondering if those are to be left in place or removed inorder to enhance sound quality? Can't find any instructional video demos online that help me figure this out. Could you provide some assistance?
