Damaged phone -snapped catch - Disaster

2006-05-13
I used this for about three hours - Due to it making the phone stick out so far the first time I walked through the cube maze at work - bump - new phone scratched to the point of damage on the screen - great, a $24 clip costs me a $600 phone.
I get into my car and - Snap - the cach is broken.
Never buy this - it is the worst product on the market.

Nice Idea, but didn't last

This holster was a love/hate relationship. I loved the way I could get at the buttons/screen w/o the holster getting in the way but I hated how it effected the unit. Specifically when I had the Treo 650 in the holster, I found that that it squeezed the screen in a way that prevented the digitizer from working right. when I tried to point at something on the screen it the "click" would be somewhere else. Try to click the appointment at 10am and get the one at noon instead, things like that.

Took me a while to figure out that I had to take the treo out for it to work right.

one of the sides that hold the treo in place broke off, I assume because i had to keep removing the treo to get it to work right.

Total time of use, about 2 months

best I've tried

this holster is the best I've tried, not bulky at all, and looks great.

The holster keeps the Treo solidly in place with a minimum of the phone being covered (including the camera viewfinder on the back). The standard belt clip is awkward & uncomfortable on the fingers to attach to belt.

Within one month belt clasp spring lost tension and had to buy a new one. Within three months nib on back of sheath broke off. No fixing that.

Good Product. Superior to one provided by manufacture through cell phone company.

Nice while it lasted

I enjoyed this holster for about 6 months before one of the side wings broke off rendering it useless. Overall it has a simple, sleek design, that allowed full access to all the functions of the phone while still in the holster, and the exterior leather gives it a nice feel. But the design has a major flaw in that the encased structure is made of stiff, brittle plactic that eventually failed. If the manufacturers had used metal instead of plastic they would have had a winner. But unfortunately they went the cheap route and I paid the price ($30). I give them 2 stars for a structurally inadequate design.

Good to the Last Drop

I'll be the first to tell you, I'm hard on phone cases. I have had a Treo 600 since they first came out, and when I upgraded recently to the Treo 650, this case was included. I've tried at least seven different cases, and have worn them all out (except for one).

Like other reviewers, I really liked this case. It allows great access to all the features (screen, keys, camera, connections, etc.). Easy to put on and pull off the phone, held the phone tightly, easy to fasten and unfasten from the belt-clip for easy, instant access.

All was fine, until I bumped it somehow, and the phone fell out. Then the phone hooked onto my seatbelt and fell out again. But after only three weeks, the phone made its final drop when it fell out onto the Sam's club floor for no apparent reason - until I noticed that the case was broken.

When it comes to cases, durability is the number one issue with me, and unfortunately, an otherwise great design couldn't take the heat.

Great, but not for long

I love this belt clip. Its so easy to get on and off and you have access to all the buttons. However, anyone who gave this a great review hasn't used it for more than 3 months. My first one started dropping out of the case as the case became more flexible with time. I thought maybe I had a bum case, so I bought another and the same thing happened. I tried to bend it to tighten it and it broke.

I can't get behind this product.

Short and sweet....I loved this item. However, the tab on the back broke off twice turning the holder into a useless paperweight. I am now using a $2.99 plastic version from China.
