I had an old Swivel Belt Holster for my Motorola V60 for 3 years. My V60 never dropped even once. I got this one for less than 2 months. My V505 phone dropped 4 times. Anyway, it won't drop any more, cause I've lost my phone on its 4th drop.

I discoved some interesting things after using this belt clip: 1. My Motorola V551 is very durable.
2. This belt clip is terrible because my V551 has fallen out numerous times.

Bottom line: Use a different belt clip unless you want to test the durability of your phone.

UPDATE Oct 28/05: this clip just broke after 8 months of light use. I'd still give it 5 stars for how it worked, but would have to knock it way down based on poor longevity.

Original Review Feb/05:
I had delayed replacing my battered 3 year old Motorola T720 because I liked the belt clip that came with that phone, and none of the new phones seemed to be shipping with belt clips. But after a friend showed me this clip with his V600 I ordered both from Amazon. It holds the phone higher than the T720 clip -- right beside your belt rather than below. And I prefer the ratchet mechanism that allows you to rotate the phone, but then holds it where you set it, vs. the T720 clip that allowed the phone to swing freely. Also tested clip with a V300, and that worked too.

This is a great product, The phone fits in it perfectly. I like how it ratchets side to side, it makes it a lot more comfortable when sitting down to ratchet the phone sideways. It is also lightweight, you can hardly tell it is there. I highly recommend this holster for your V600.

PRODUCT UPDATE: My 6 month old holster just broke. The peice attaching the clip to the housing just snapped off. My previous OEM holster for my StarTac lasted 4 years and still work perfectly. I guess you get what you pay for, but I was pretty happy with it otherwise

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I just got this yesterday, but I have to say that so far it seems like a well designed unit. Fits my v600 very well and I like the swivel action so I can turn it sideways when I am sitting down. Good price since most stores sell similar items for $14.99

This product is poorly designed and breaks easily. Don't waste your money. Mine lasted all of 1 hour before the clip broke off.

I had the clip for 2 weeks and plastic on the top broke. First I thought that I wasn't doing it right so I bought another one and same thing happend again. Don't buy this.

It does hold your phone securely and is hard to get out, but I was tired of the phone coming out to easily with other clips in the past. I have only had it for 2 months and the plastic broke around the pin on the clip. I love the way they work though and am considering buying another. I am a glutten for punishment.

This is supposed to fit the V600, but does not fit very well. The top snap clips on OK, but there is about a 1/4" gap between the phone and the holster when clipped. The rounded back of the belt clip is annoying to me - I prefer the flat-style clip. The ratchet is very low on the clip, which is also a hassle for me. I prefer that the ratchet/pivot be in the center of the clip. What a waste of money.

I was over charged by a vendor in a mall. Paid $15 for it. Be aware. It does fit the v551, but for that price, this holster isn't worth it.
