I have tried some leather swivel-clip cases that are floating out there. They weren't bad but they made the phone too bulky. I generally like to put the phone in my pocket and only occasionally wear it on my belt so I needed something that was not too bulky. However, I also wanted to maintain the cool look of the phone.

Well, this case appears to be the answer. It is very tight fitting. It is the only case that COMPLETELY covers the display on the inside of the phone and all of the keys on the keypad. They used clear plastic to do this. They punched holes out for the earpiece sections. Everything is very well made and all the cut-outs are formed and placed well to maintain a quality look. The top cover for the phone detaches via a button so you could take it of if desired. I am not sure what type of material it is. I have read it is nylon. It has a pattern on it and is very unique. It has a metal "Body Glove" button on one side.

All in all, a very unique, well made case that really doesn't add much bulk to the phone, still maintains a very nice look, and protects the phone well. The only thing to consider is that if you like to wear the phone on your belt most of the time, a swivel clip case may be a better option. Body Glove makes one of those also but of course it is bulkier and therefore wouldn't lend itself to be pocketable.

If anyone wonders, I didn't get the case here. I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon though and would have bought this if they had it in the color I wanted. I ended up paying more elsewhere just to get it.

I recently purchased a Motorola V60i phone, and needed a case due to my history of being "heavy handed" with cell phones. Like some of the others who have posted reviews for this product, I too was unhappy with the poor selection of cases available from local vendors for the V60i. All the other cases I found were too bulky (defeating the main reason for choosing this phone in the first place), made from some man-made material that they dare call "leather," and obviously not designed specifically for the V60 series.

Here's the bottom line - this case is by far the best one out there, and this comes from a person who spent more time browsing mall kiosks and phone dealers for a case than should be humanly allowed. This case is not bulky, is very durable, and fits the V60 perfectly because it was designed just for this phone.

If you want a case for your Motorola V60, this is the one.

This has to be the best engineered case I have ever owned. More durable and better looking than any leather case. It has a slim belt clip as opposed to that bulky "swivel" clip that will just about double the carrying size of your phone. I usually prefer classic black but the charcoal gray (shade matches the gray antenna) gives the phone a clearly distintive and rich look. The keypad and earpiece sections are fully protected with clear plastic with cutouts where they're supposed to be. A button will detach the earpiece section if you prefer to use your phone that way. The people at Body Glove have this case down to a 5 star science.

I have a V60T and this case fits it perfectly.
I had shopped around and purchased other cases over the internet
and when they arrived I was very unhappy with the quality and fit. I also had purchased the Motorola case from Cingular but the belt clip made the phone to big and bulky. I read the review
posted and it helped greatly in my decision to purchase this case from Amazon. This is a quality case that I think anyone will be pleased with. If there is anything that Body Glove could add to this case, it would be the hand strap that on other phone cases I have owned I used it as added security around my belt loop.

I have been dismayed with two previous cases (not Body Glove cases) for my Motorola V60 mainly because of the poor fit of the cases on the flip open cover. Other cases tended to "ride up" on the cover and make for a terrible problem when trying to listen.

Not so with this case.

I'm totally satisfied with the fit, and the access it allows to the ports on the top of the phone. Great fit on this case for the exact same price I paid for other cases that didn't fit as well.

I would highly recommend this case.

As much as I like the Motorola V60 it seems that Motorola is not intent on producing a nice case for the phone. As usual, Body Glove has stepped up for Motorola as they seem to do for most of the cell phone manufactures. The phone looks great on its own but if you want to protect it, this case is excellent. The fit is very good, with openings and plastic where they should be. This case was made for the V60 and only the V60. If you want to protect your phone without loosing its slim design the price and quality are worth the investment. If you are looking for a protective case for your V60 phone, this is the one to get, it is slim, durable, attractive and a perfect fit.

OEM accessories are supposed to be superior than aftermarket copies, in style and function. However, Motorola missed the boat here. I bought their 'leather' case, and was very disappointed. I read the reviews for the Body Glove Ion and went out and bought one. I have not been disappointed. There is no comparision between the Ion and the OEM case. The Ion is far superior in construction, style, and function. All the necessary holes are punched out exactly where they should be. The stitching appears to be more precise, and the overall fit for my V60i is much better. The dimensions of this case 'hug' the phone much better, thus it shows off the phone's clean lines. The low-profile design equals less bulk. Motorola engineers need to go on a field trip to the Body Glove offices to see how the competition is running circles around them in the accessories market.

On the good side, it looks good, fits well, and all the holes are where they need to be. It comes off my belt quickly to answer calls.

HOWEVER, the clip is so insecure, my phone has falls off my belt several times a day. So much so that I need to look elswhere for fear of losing my phone.

I had an Ion cover for a Nokia phone I had and was very pleased with it. When I bought the V60, I got another Ion cover for it. I like that it is slim and doesn't cause the phone to stick far out from my waist line like the clip that came with the phone. I also like how it protects the phone. I work in a harsh manufacturing environment where water, chemicals, and abrasions wreak havoc on my cell phones. This is by far the best protection I've found for any of my phones.

I bought this case based on reviews of a bunch of cases for the V60 series phones. It does fit snugly, but at least in my case it is such a tight fit that the bottom half of the case never wants to stay all the way on, and tends to slide down juuuust a tad, like a couple millimeters or so. That's just a picky aesthetic thing, though, and doesn't affect the functionality. The case is definitely well constructed -- it's not going to fall apart, even at stress points. It has openings in all the right places, and the clip is very sturdy and low-profile. I do miss the shiny case of the bare phone, but obviously that's a sacrifice one has to make in order to protect the phone. A nice side effect of the case is that it makes it much easier to open the phone with one hand to take a call, because it's easier to slip your thumb between the two parts of the case than between the two halves of the phone itself. However, the case does increase the thickness of the phone from just about an inch, to a good inch and a half. I'm not wild about that, but all cases increase the bulk, and after looking at a lot of cases, I still think this is the best-made and best-fitting, and even though it's expensive, I would buy it again.
