Looks nice, protects the i860 very well. But... I've only had it for 3 months, the release broke off after 2 months which I rarely used. The swivel spins freely now and no longer rachets. The cover for the screen housing gets in the way of the camera, it has to be held down away from the lense. Body Glove needs to send this one back to the engineers.

I have had this for almost 6 months and I like it a lot. Right off, it looks great. Black leather, blue piping going around the edge. The blue is that vivid color that one of those exotic/expensive fish tank fish have: neons or tetras? Whichever it is, it is very sharp looking.

I keep i860 cell phone in the 'Glove all the time. It does not add much bulk/size/weight to the phone. It fits it, after all, like a glove.

When I am taking a photo, I simply unsnap the half that is on the flip-up half of my cell phone which is where the camera lens is, take the photo, and slip it back on.

Before I used to know about this, I used to press down a little strap on it that would get in the way, like a wayward lock of hair. Turns out that futzing with the strap is unnecessary. They designed it so you can just remove that half of the case, take photo(s), and snap it back on. Smart.

In fact, the reason the strap is there in the first place is so you can easily remove the other half. Look what is on the end of that strap before you curse it, guys. It's a snap! Snaps unsnap; that is what they are for.

The glove is well named. It makes the phone much easier to grip in your hand. I can easily pivot it around in my hand, flip it around, pick it up, and basically not expect it to skid around. Without the 'Glove, you have a bare metal or plastic case. Smooth looking and - well, maybe too smooth for something small and costing hundreds of dollars!

I like the fast release for the belt hook. So far, it has not failed me. I think it is at the bottom, not at the back the way some people have said, but I cannot remember for certain. I know it goes off and on easily for me but has never come off on its own yet.

I don't use it that way much though. The i860 is not much bigger than one of those little matchbox cars from the 1960s. I easily fit it in my pocket. With the glove on, I know it is probably not going to get scratched too easily.

This case does not work well. The case blocks the camera eye and the clip lasted one week.

Whereas the body glove cosmetically looks good, it has a diabolical flaw inherent in its POOR design. The attachment button that is mounted on the rear of the glove that allows quick engagement and disengagement to the belt clip is seriously defective. The plastic button resides in a small pocket sewn into the rear of the glove. The problem is that the button flange that holds the button connector to the glove is floating inside of the rubber elastic glove. The pocket stretches! As soon as any pressure is applied to the phone when it is hanging on your belt (like when you sit down or bump anything), the connector easily (and silently) dislodges from its elastic pocket!!! Your valuable cell phone drops to the ground and you have lost it! You have lost your phone but the button is still attached to your belt clip. This is a dreadfully constructed device that the designer should be ashamed of. Use this glove at your own peril.
