THIS WAS TRULY the find of a lifetime for me! Being in sales, I'm hard on cell phone cases, and have a LONG history of going through several in the course of a year. I wear out the velcro, wear holes in the side panels, break the clasps & stitching-whatever can come unravelled, DOES...and QUICKLY! In search of something durable, I've spent as much as $39.00-plus shipping-and have never gotten more than 3 to 4 months without a failure.
UNTIL NOW! Built of a tough synthetic cloth, this carrying case & belt pack is double-stitched and layered with reinforcements everywhere! There is an additional tough but flexible rubbery panel supporting the lid, and acres of velcro on both sides! There are 2 little accessory niches on each side to carry whatever other gismos you'd like to get out of your pockets (see the photo-I used a lighter & a razor knife). There are also 2 skinny pockets on the inside, with the phone...maybe for credit cards and such? Lastly, you can attach it to yourself by 3 different methods: a sturdily-embedded steel "D" ring, a riveted-in-place steel clip, OR integral belt loops IN BOTH DIRECTIONS! Talk about having some choices...!
If you own a PDA, you know how difficult it is to find a holster that is both sturdy and large enough. Usually I have found myself trying to stuff my Treo 700 into things just a bit too small...if you look at the photos, my Treo is swimming in this thing! To those of you more engineering-minded, you can comfortably start with the mid- to large devices measuring around 2 1/4" across by 4 1/2" high (not counting the antenna) and 1/2" thick. The elasticpanels on the case will gently expand to accomodate a monster portable as large as 2 3/4 across by 5 1/2" high (again w/o the antenna) and up to a nominal 1 2/4" thick!
THESE ARE NEW! Manufactured by a large firm that primarily produces tool holders, work aprons and protective clothing, they have designed and BUILT this product utilizing generations of experience and know-how. If you have struggled to find a dependable cell phone case, THIS IS IT! I promise...you will not be disappointed!
NOTE: It is now 8 months since I began carrying this holster myself, and I still have the original one I found! I use it every day, and it's still 100% functional! Nothing broken, worn or missing-and no end in sight. This is well over twice as long as the closest competitor.
