5.0 out of 5 stars
One exceptional cell phone case from a proven company!, August 3, 2008
Had a so-called "premium-grade" leather cell phone case break this spring, as so many of them do after about 12 to 18 months. It had cost about $30 in a local mall store, where I bought it because another case had broken and sent my phone crashing to the concrete floor. And as usual, in both cases is was the spring clip on the back that gave out.
This time I didn't want to make the same mistake, so I started searching here... then remembered that some of the camera bag makers do make cell phone cases. Last fall I had purchased and reviewed a Tamrac 3536 Express 6 Camera Bag, a product that has proven to be even better than I could have expected, so I did a search and found this Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case (Black), which looked promising. Couldn't find much more info other than what is here in the product description, but feeling good about my experience with Tamrac's quality, decided to give it a try. The price was also good, but I did wonder just how my phone would fit within its elastic sides.
When it arrived a few days later, I took my already-battered Sanyo VI-2300 phone and slipped it into the new case. The fit was perfect, and in the case it looked exactly as pictured here. It not only has a well-stitched belt loop, but there's a Velcro attachment system allows it to be attached to a camera bag strap... or to a woman's purse strap. The black ultra-suede outer shell has held up well, and yes, it does match my camera bag, allowing it to blend in quite well. The magnetic snap closure work well, and not once has it come undone.
Since I purchased this case, I replaced the phone, and it fits perfectly as well. Below you'll find the dimension of the two phones that have been used with this case in case you wondered if yours might fit, though the case will hold a much larger phone than these.
- Sanyo VI-2300: 3.35" x 1.85" x 1.05"
- Sanyo SCP-3200: 3.5" x 1.8" x 0.8"
Must say that this has been the best cell phone case that I've personally used, and if the conservative black is too boring for you, there are other colors to pick from, such as these:
- Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case (Desert Gold)
- Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case (Red)
- Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case (Light Blue)
The quality on these cases is every bit as good as Tamrac's camera bags and photo backpacks. Must say that this has proven the best and most convenient cell phone case that I've personally used, and I can recommend it as a true 5-star choice.

Tamrac phone case, April 6, 2009
This is a GREAT case. I lost a previous one, and felt lost without it, so I got another. Highly recommend it.

Why does a cell phone case have to be basic black?, August 4, 2008
Already posted a review on the Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case (Black) a couple of days ago, but since they only differ in color, thought it might be a good idea to share the info here here.
As noted in the other review, had a so-called "premium-grade" leather cell phone case break this spring, as so many of them do after about 12 to 18 months. It had cost about $30 in a local mall store, where I bought it because another case had broken and sent my phone crashing to the concrete floor. And as usual, in both cases is was the spring clip on the back that gave out.
This time I didn't want to make the same mistake, so I started searching here... then remembered that some of the camera bag makers do make cell phone cases. Last fall I had reviewed the unique Tamrac 3536 Express 6 Camera Bag (Khaki), though I had purchased the very same model in black. This has proven to be even better than I could have expected.
I did a search and found this unique Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case that you see pictured here. Since I already had the Tamrac 3536 camera bag in black, ordered that version, keeping in mind my experience with Tamrac's quality. The price was also good, but I did wonder just how my phone would fit within its elastic sides.
When it arrived a few days later, I took my already-battered Sanyo VI-2300 phone and slipped it into the new case. The fit was perfect, and in the case it looked exactly as pictured here.

Must say that this has been the best cell phone case that I've personally used. If you happen to own the Tamrac 3536 Express 6 Camera Bag (in Khaki or Desert Gold or whatever they want to call it), your find that the cell phone case matches the ultrasuede insert on the camera bag.
There are other colors to pick from, such as these:
- Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case (Black)
- Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case (Red)
- Tamrac 3573 Express Phone Case (Light Blue)
The quality on these cases is every bit as good as Tamrac's camera bags and photo backpacks. Must say that mine has proven the best and most convenient cell phone case that I've personally used, and I can recommend it as a true 5-star choice.
