So what, my wife makes fun of me because I want my accessories to match. Well, the black case with brown belt and brown shoes was bothering me. The ecru case I ordered was too light, alomost white, too light even to go with my topsiders. I'd love it if RIM made a buckskin colored case...

Anyhow, great case, beautiful leather. I wouldn't call it red by any means, the one I have is straight brown with no red tones I can tell (yeah, and that coming from a guy who makes sure his belt and shoes match...) It's a nice rich dark brown, and a great alternative to black.

I do wish the clip's top was a bit lower, irritates my love handles if I'm not wearing my shirt tucked in, but with a shirt tucked in it's fine.

Case looks good and the magnetic lock closes securely. If you want to swivel the case so it's angled on your belt (or pocket or lower lip or whatever), you can move it a couple of clicks and not worry about it twisting further and dropping The Precious.

And who do we have to blame for manufacturers' inability to use normal names when describing the color of their products? Bush? Congress? Crayola? This case is brown. Just brown. Okay, dark brown maybe. Not earth, chocolate, dusk, saddle, frappacino, walnut, Oprah, or anything else. Just brown.

Great holster, I can't imagine anything to make it better! The closure is secure, yet easily opened and closed. The swivel clip is flexible, but will not turn involuntarily. The leather feels and looks great and the quality is obvious. Great buy!

Holsters that hold up under everyday wear & tear are rare and cost a lot. This one not only works well but at a reasonable price. The leather is high quality and the elastic holds the blackberry firm but not too tight. The belt clip is also heavy duty and is holding up quite well. I have no issues with this product.

This is a really nice holster, with handsome leather and a pretty secure belt clip. The problem is that the clip is just a piece of plastic, and less than a month after I got it, it broke off. So now I have a nice looking case for the Blackberry but no way to clip it to my belt - I have to carry it in my pocket. There are worse things, of course, but it sure is a pain.

It is hard to find "Brown" so get it! The swivel makes it easy to place or remove your blackberry with one hand.

I bought this at the last minute because I was going to a trade show and I didn't want to be carrying this in my pocket (which is how I used to carry my blackberry). I spent a week on the road with this and I wonder how I ever got along without it. First, its a clip-on -- belt, pocket, whatever - which I normally don't like but this one is fine and it holds very well (I usually clip it on the edge of a pocket). After now a month of use, I've also discovered this thing makes the battery last much longer -- the BB turns off when inserted into holster (you still get vibrations when stuff comes in) -- and its significant. I no longer need to charge my BB every night!

I bought this for the price and lambskin material to replace my lost original case. This works just like the original, and the price is great. The case wasn't as soft when i started using it, but after awhile the touch is close to the original mfr case.

This is a nice looking case and well designed. Unfortunately, the magnet inside the case is not position correctly for the 8300 and the phone does not recognize that it is in the holster.

The first time I traveled out of town I snapped the case off my belt. The plastic broke off the clip. Needless to say, I didn't buy another one.

Pass on this case!

I'm impressed with this case. The leather is soft, not that harsh stuff unusually reserved for similar items. The color is more of a dark brown. If you stare at it long enough you may be able to convince yourself that there is more than just a smidgen of red in the coloration. The sides that form the "pocket" are black elastic. The holster fits securely on my belts and purse straps.
I like the fact that the clip is hinged and can be opened by pressing the top of it with your thumb. This allows you to place the clip as you wish without forcing it onto your belt or whatever you want to clip it to. The clip does swivel, but locks into place. Set it the desired position and it stays.
The holster allows for unobstructed access to the headphone jack, charge port, mute, and volume buttons. The closure is magnetic, allowing for quick access to your phone.
The decorative silver Blackberry insignia adds a little "something" to the case, without making you a walking billboard. If someone is close enough to see that it reads Blackberry, they are probably too close to your phone.
