Review: BB 8130 Seidio Rubberized Holster

I spent the better part of a day trying to find a holster for my VZW 8130. Everywhere I looked had leather pouch holsters or cheap looking clip holsters. This particular one stood out, rubberized and felt lined were both good things. The few images online looked quality as well.

Here are two links to this holster:

Manufacturer ($29.99)
RUBBERIZED SPRING CLIP SWIVEL HOLSTER FOR UN-SKINNED 8100/8130 - HLBB8100AS

Retailer ($25.95)
BlackberrySource.com - Rubberized BlackBerry Pearl Holster

I ordered this from BlackBerrySource.com shipping was expensive, FedEx was the only option, but I had it in two business days . I would purchase from this seller again.

I just received this today so I cannot speak to the durability etc. My initial impressions are very positive.

-The belt clip is strong with stiff spring and the rotation of the belt clip has good feedback.

-The rubberized coating feels very high quality and showed no blemishes on arrival.

-The felt lining seems to serve it's purpose well enough. Soft, clean, and again without blemish.

-The snap action of the top clip seems solid I do not have any concerns about this popping out unexpectedly. The backing plate extends halfway up the phone, this makes it seem even more secure and should help keep your clothes from popping the phone out of the holster.

*Overall I would recommend this product based on my initial impressions.*

Enjoy the pictures and please let me know if you have any questions.













Per request here are some pictures of the phone being held and worn.









This holster successfully activates the phone's standby or "holster" mode. As you can see the magnet is quite strong.
