This review is from: DLO Leather Holster Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

This holster is a winner for me.
It is lightweight and comfortable to wear. The finish and quality of the product is outstanding and the price is reasonable.
You can feel the vibration of the IPhone through the holster and accessing the IPhone is easy.
The inside of the holster provide good protection for the iphone screen.
The clip is tight enough so there is no chance the holster will slipped out of your belt.
Overall an excellent buy

UPDATE: After owning this holder for over a year, I am still fully satisfied. There is no sign of abuse, the case is still in mint condition despite wearing it all the time and beeing attacked on a daily basis by my one year old.

I ordered this case before I even had the iPhone, and I've been very pleased with it. I feel safe in wearing it during the day, at the gym, everywhere. I did originally want one with a belt loop option, but the belt clip has been perfect, and actually, quite sensible. I can take it off anytime without taking off the belt. Easily clip to something (I use the clip to keep the iPhone on my seatbelt while I'm driving for easy access). Great case.

Since Im a bit obsessional about my iPhone (who isnt who actually owns one) I have 4 different cases for it.

This one is beautifully made and works very well.
My issues with the case are these:
The corners are cut away. Problem with that is the corners of this device are VERY vulnerable.
I dropped my phone while it was in a Speck Skin case. The power button was damaged because the switch which is on the corner took the impact.
I want a case that truly protects the phone.
I also bought an InCase leather iPhone case. I love this case. It's very slim and it covers the corners and it is hipper looking than the DLO.
The DLO is a bit conservative in it's looks.
Great if you wear wing-tip shoes. I dont.

The Speck skin case uses a clip to hold the phone. Bad idea. My phone popped out of that clip and I wound up having to get my phone repaired. (for $280 all together) Dont buy that case.

So the DLO is a beautiful case.
It's just not my personal style and I worry about those corners.
It's largely a subjective call when it comes to picking a case but I highly recommend the InCase cases.
