Nice snug hold for your Treo and high quality construction & feel; however, don't plan on using most of the device functions while it is in the cradle. The holster prevents you from opening the lid, accessing the jog dial, or accessing the outer function buttons while the Treo is in it. You can however put the phone in the holster with the lid open if you need to access the screen (e.g. I use this holster as part of my car mount). The buttons you can easily access include the up/down buttons for declining calls and the power/volume switches on top. Overall a very classy design for most purposes.

Just gave this belt clip/holster a three consecutive night "workout" clipped to my jeans. The workout consisted of simply attempting to use it as it was "designed". One of the plastic grips holding the metal axle of the belt-clip hinge broke, and the whole thing is now worthless. Junk. Don't waste your time and money buying it. Perhaps Handspring will eventually come up with something as elegantly suitable as their PDA! I'm lowering my rating to one star and would give it "none" if that were possible.

This couldn't have been designed by the folk at Handspring. Their Treo is such a wonderful device but this clip is just garbage! We are on our 2nd one in less than 6 months and it just broke! Don't waste your time -- get the case by Krusell!!

The clip is better than what came with my Treo 300, that is nothing. However, the design could have been much better, like being able to use the flip top without removing it from the "holster."

The clip provides no protection at all to scratches or accidental drop. I scratched my brand new Treo 300 surface badly the first day I put around my belt by accidently rubbing against furniture. It has already been dropped once from the holster, since the tiny plastic cip at the top is not secure. I am shopping for a new case now! Not recommended for people on the go.

I bougt one of this product from "BARGAINDEPOT"on ebay,it never lasted for 2hours before it broke off,am soo devasteted by this.When i hooked it to my belt and sat down in my car and position it in a better way,because of it not breaking,on getting down this case snap out and broke apart from the clip and that's it.

I've been using this now for about two weeks. I'm pretty pleased with it. It popped off my belt once, but I think it was my fault.

The Treo is somewhat differently sized than a standard cell phone, so design of this product might be considered awkward. I like being able to rotate the device when I sit down so it doesn't scrunch.

I'm a bit worried about the exposed screen, and there's no place to store the ear-peice, so I just leave it in my car.

There's no better product out there right now, though...and this beats putting it in your pocket.

VERY bulky and also somewhat inconvenient. Does not protect the face of your Treo at all as it is outwardly exposed. Very limited in functions that can be accessed while in the "clip". OK, you can see the screen but can't do much about it without snapping the whole thing out of the holder and opening the lid. The soft case is equally expensive and not well-thought out. Can't wait for the aftermarket cases to appear from a company that has thought more about the product before rushing it to market and prices them at a reasonable level.

I think the Treo Belt Clip is a well designed product that is expensive for what it is, but worth it to me. Prior to getting the belt clip, I had been carrying my Treo in my pants pocket. This resulted in the Treo faceplate getting scratched by my keys or something else that happened to be in the same pocket.

Now, my Treo is out of my pocket and closer at hand when the phone rings or a message comes in. If you use the belt clip all the time, you will also dramatically decrease the likelyhood of dropping the Treo. This was always a concern for me.

I have'nt seen the holster as I don't own a Treo,but I think that it should hold the Treo with it's screen inward toward the holster as the Motorola StarTac does. That way the screen is protected until you remove it from the holster. I can't think of any reason anyone would want to remove the 180 with the holster-unless you just want a real handfull!
