This case is not ideal for use with the Dell Venue Pro. Not only does it not allow for use of the sliding keypad, but the clasp which holds the case shut seems flimsy at best, and I anticipate that with the first drop, the clasp would separate, opening the case and sending the phone crashing to it's doom.I work in Afghanistan, and live perpetually on a construction site layered with rock and concrete. I cannot affort for my phone to hit the ground out of the case. I am not confident in this product and will not be using it at all. With limited functionality and dubious protection, the BoxWave case is not armor worth wearing.
