2.0 out of 5 stars Phone falls out easily, December 15, 2005

This review is from: Wireless Technologies Ratcheting Swivel Belt Holster for Motorola V710, E815 (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I have bought many items from Amazon and this is the first time I feel compelled to write a review. The only redeeming feature of this holster is that it is more convenient to use than carry the phone in your pocket. The phone will fall out with any bump against it. I have dropped the phone many times and find myself constantly checking to see that the phone is secure in its holster. I will be looking for a new one to replace this one..

3.0 out of 5 stars Clones break easily, December 5, 2005

Users have 2 choices; buy the original Moto version for about $12-15 each, or a clone for as low at $1-3. In prior phones I've used with similar side snap-on belt clips, the 'clones', whose manufacturer is unknown except it isn't brand-named with Moto and comes with no warranty, has lasted me 4-6mo before its clip breaks off, less commonly it lasts longer. The Moto one is guaranteed for a year, and it literally lasts 12-18mo before it too breaks. Doing the math, the Moto version will run the user 0.67-1.00 a month. The clones $0.16-0.75 a month.

The clone's value depends on how much you buy it for. This $6 version, which if not guaranteed, will not be a good value if it breaks within 6 months. Don't forget shipping and handling.

I buy these clips from OEM for $1 a piece in lots of 30.

Why a clip versus a belt case? Dust free and small profile other than pocketing the phone. My friends who use a phone case phone in it end up getting dust inside the LCD screen. The case itself get very ratty looking as it ages, and the threads wear off before the clip breaks. In the snap clip, the phone 'breathes' and stays clean. However, if you are in a rough job site, where the phones can snapped out of your holster and dropped, it may pay to get something more secure and bulky. Further, the phone can also be bumped and scratched if it's very exposed.

The holster is best if you wear a jacket or coat continuously. This protects the phone yet makes it easy to access on your hip. The belt clip mount is ideal for those who prefer the phone vibrate rather than ring. The phone snaps into the holster, and pushing the top snap releases the phone quickly. The rotating version allows the user to angle the phone from 0-180 in 20 degrees clicks, so it can be mounted on either the left or right hip angled the same way. This rotation feature is the clips weakness, this is the site that breaks.

There is a non-rotating clip that should last longer, since the clip is built into the case as one piece. Only if the plastic fatigues from overuse will it eventually break. Alas, with the phone sitting upright, the antennae occassionally pokes you in the side.

If this clip were made of aluminum rather than plastic it would be worth $15-20 and last longer. Alas, both the original Moto and OEMs are not durable, and its just a question of bad to worst when it comes to durability.

The free holster that comes with the V710 does not swivel - I found this astonishing, as the free holster I received with my Nextel Motorola phone swiveled 'out of the box'!

After numerous stabs in the kidney's from my V710's antenna whenever I sat down, I KNEW I had to find a swivel holster somewhere - and it has literally saved me from continuing pain and suffering!

Got a V710? Keep getting stabbed in the sides? Get this holster!
