I've been using this clip on my Nokia 6160 for around two years and would not replace it for anything! I'd tried a leather carrying case but found that the clip was centered too low on the phone -- when it was on my waist, I was poked by the antannea. This clip rides high on the phone making it perfect for the belt, or clipped to the inside of my bag. The fact that it is not adhesive, but fits into the case of the phone makes installation easy. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick, easy way to access their phone.

I bought this clip because I wanted to carry my cellular on my belt.

The basic design is good - the phone is held in a convinient position on my belt and didnt bother me when I sat down in work or in a car.

There are two main problems previous reviewers mentioned which caused me to stop using it completely.

The first one is that holding mechanism isnt strong enough, and the phone would sometimes get released when I sat down - nearly lost the phone in meeting rooms and company taxis a couple of times.

The other one is that it once broke my phone's back panel, which forced me to take the phone to a service center. Lockily I bought both the phone and the clip from Nokia, so they fixed it without charge but I still had to spend a couple of hours travelling to the service center and waiting in line for the fix.

I resorted to using a leather carrying case - not ideal but doesnt break the phone either.

As for the guy who wrote the oldest review, I guess he carries his phone in a briefcase and relies on hearing the phone's ring rather than on vibrations.

I've gone through about seven of these clips in the last two years. I can't warn you enough -- don't buy this, because you're only getting a short-term lease.

I broke most of them while sitting down in my car. It turns out that it doesn't take a lot of force placed on the bottom of the phone to torque the clip apart.

I'm here on Amazon searching for a sturdier solution, but in the meantime, the phone stays in my pocket.

I found that this clip, after only a few months, stopped holding the phone very well. Then, after about 6 months, the piece that attached to my phone RIPPED a section off of the back of my phone. Fortunately, the phone was still under the original manufacturer's one-year warranty, but I have been using a standard case ever since.

This clip is definitely useful, but it could be made better considering how much it costs. The flat metal spring that held the clip closed over my belt slowly deformed over a couple months, so the clip didn't close any more and the whole thing just fell off my belt. I found cheaper ones at my local electronics superstore that didn't do that (but broke other ways). If you want a belt clip, this will work, but you have to face it...this isn't the last one you'll buy.

All this thing does is break. I have had several of them and they all broke within 2 or 3 weeks.

Main problem with the clip is that the button will break before the clip does...However, it's only ... bucks and is SOOOOO convenient...I'd buy one every 2-months if necessary.

However, I have had three in the last year and a half. One I lost, another I broke, the last I lost the button....

Great product!!

Ignore these other negative reviews...you'll love it!!

Cell phone easily gets pushed up and disconnected from holder when worn on the belt and you sit in certain chairs. Lost my phone just this way and because of this product. Luckily found it later. Nice idea, but it needs improvement in design and those of us who purchased one of these should be provided with a re-designed product.

I think it's very convenient, and I like the easy and secure click-in, click-out functionality. Like many complaints here, I've broken one in the last year (I twisted it getting out of my car with it). I just brought it to the Cingluar store, and they replaced it, no questions asked, no receipt requested. I'm guessing this happens with a certain degree of regularity, and since it costs them about 28 cents to make these, I don't think they mind replacing them. If there's a better option out there for the 7100, I'd love to know about it.

Warning - if you've got a nice belt and actually plan on clipping this thing to it, the clip will damage the belt over time, and wear off the leather finish. I just clip mine to my pocket now, although I'm sure if I were to line the inside of the clip with felt or something, it'd be better. Get one - you'll like it. And if it breaks, bring it back to your phone dealer and get a new one.

I broke this after 2 months' use; I'm retiring and don't use mobile phone too much...

so, you better go with a metal one.
