Disappointed:
Brought as a replacement. Clip broke within one month. Returned to Amazon as defective and was charged for return shipping.
Nice balance of function and style.:
This leather holster has a nice look clipped to your belt since it is not too bulky. The magnetic closure functions nicely when pulling the phone out while walking or otherwise on-the-go.
Per other reviews, there may be some adjustments to be made on your BB to enable the holster-activated (via an embedded magnet) features. All in all a good value for the price.
Works For Me - Recommended:
The "BlackBerry Lether Swivel Holster" fits my 8330 just fine, even with the hard skin included in Transparent Clear Crystal Snap-on Cover Case + Rapid Car Charger + Premium Clear Reusable LCD Screen Protector for RIM Blackberry 8330 8310 8320 8300 Curve Smartphone attached. The belt clip seems to be sturdy and strong so, hopefully, I will have better luck than some of the other reviewers. This good looking case is recommended!
Blackberry Curve - Holster - Decent but not indestructable:
The first one lasted for 1yr and was in good shape, but the whole clip snapped off at the swivel point. I like the magnetic latch mechanism, it's convenient that I don't need to be forcing a snap and it's pretty quite. I purchased a second one and if this one lasts 1yr I'll be content as well as I'm a bit hard on them (hitting it on the arms of chairs when I stand up or sit down.)
