Like a couple of the previous reviewers, the clip on my original case broke within a month or two of normal use too. Luckily I was sitting on the train when it snapped rather than walking down the street, so no damage was done to the BlackBerry.
The case works fine otherwise, but now it's carried in my coat pocket or in my messenger bag. I wouldn't buy another one of this design now that I see that the clip seems to be a common weakness.

Though the case says it is for the 8800 series, the case is actually too tight. When you put the blackberry in, it goes on because of the tightness. I purchased one from directly from Blackberry (though it was triple the price) and it fit well.

So I had one of these for my pearl for almost two years, it was great. Something has changed in the manufacturing process though and now its just junk. First one broke in 3 days the pin that holds the clip in just broke. Returned it and ordered another assuming it was a defect and I wouldn't have the issue again, well I did. The second one lasted 5 days. Ill be sending it back on Monday. Very sad since this is a very functional case. I lucked out the first one fell on carpet at work so no damage, second one in the parking lot on concrete but luckily it hit just right and didn't scratch the phone.

I lost my orig holster and as you know, only BB holsters offer the ability to turn the phones off when you put the phone in them. Well, at least, that's what I have been told. At any rate, THIS IS THE ORIG HOLSTER!!! It's the exact same holster that came with the phone. It has a swivel clip that allows you to lock the phone into several different positions. Unlike clips of of the past where the phone would freely swing.

If you need a replacement or merely want and 2nd one as a back up, do yourself a favor and order this holster!!!

How is this holster rating an average of four stars? I would give it zero if possible. My first one lasted about two months before the clip broke off, the second one lasted ONE WEEK! Using a thin plastic post to hold the clip on is a very poor design, and not what I would expect from Blackberry.

This Blackberry holster for my 8800 was great as long as it lasted - 30 days, 1/12th the time it took for the same style holster that came with the phone to break. Both broke under minor side pressure against them. Giving up on this design. Too easy to lose phone with this holster!

You would think I had learned my leason by now. This is the third holster I've purchased and all met the same fate. Poor construction and flimsy design caused each to crack at the belt clip rendering this product useless.

This is my third one. The clip broke on the first 2. But at this price, I will just keep replacing them.

The pin that hold the clip on is extremely weak. I barely bumped the holster against something and the clip broke off. There is a small amount of glue holding the pin together. Find a better clip.

I've had two of these and the holster itself if fine. Unfortunately, the belt clip is poorly designed with weak hinges. Both of mine broke within two months just from normal use.
