Rating: - Broke within 30 minutes
I was pretty excited about getting my belt holster. It looked like a pretty quality product and was happy I wasn't going to have to keep it in my pocket anymore.
I got in my car to go to work, drove there, and parked. I stepped out of my car, and *snap*. The belt clip broke and my Blackberry fell to the concrete. At least the case protected it from the fall. But the plastic belt clip is worthless and makes this product unusable. I got about 30 minutes of usage out of it before it broke. And mind you, I'm not even overweight. It was on my left hip, I stepped out of my car to the left, and it broke. Very unhappy.
Rating: - More Broken Clips
Just want to add to the list of failed clips. I had one of these cases as did one of my friends. Both broke at the swivel in less than a month. Nice case but defective design.
Rating: - Buy lots of spares
The case is outstanding in the leather portion, but if you have any job or hobbies that involve climbing in, on, or around tight spaces expect to break the clip off the case; numerous times. The other downfall is the Blackberry requires the magnet in the case to lock the phone on holstering, finding aftermarket cases when your on the road all the time is inconvienent so you have to go back to the closest carrier store.

$8.50 for the same genuinue Blackberry leather holster that the AT&T store wanted $30 for. It works great.
Rating: - very nice case, very poor clip
As a case, this product is excellent -- nice leather with magnetic latch -- protects the phone very well. As a clip-on holster, this product fails miserably. Broken clips on two cases in six months convinces me that I won't be purchasing this product again. The plastic swivel is too weak and any bump at all makes it snap.
Re. the suggestion from a previous reviewer that one place the phone inside a pocket and clip it to that pocket -- why have a clip at all? If that is the plan, why not just buy a case without a clip?
