My take: For $140, this should not be a known issue. It should be a RESOLVED issue.

Finally, ColorWare simply paints Bold parts, it doesn't make them. Naturally, a couple coats of paint and a clear, shiny top coat add some bulk to the device. The painted parts don't add any significant weight, nor do they make your Bold feel noticeably different--except for the smoother finish. But they do make it so tight skins and cases won't fit correctly. I'm a fan of Seidio's Innocase Surface for Bold, but it doesn't fit when my device is equipped with ColorWare parts. It is worth noting, however, that the ColorWare Bold still fits fine in my BlackBerry charge pod.

On to my conclusion...

Customized parts for your BlackBerry are clearly a luxury. Nobody really NEEDS a fully personalized BlackBerry, right? It pays to keep this in mind when considering ColorWare, since it really doesn't add any functionality or features to your device.
