Anyone use the Forrte vertical pouch for the 8703e.

What's the verdict?

I use the STiL pouch when my BSE is on (phone doesn't fit in the OEM holster with the BSE on)

Love it. Got the one with the strap that goes over the top and is held in place with the button. Even ordered a second one with a belt loop on (first one has the heavy duty clip) The heavy duty clip is nice with a leather belt, but my work belt is a nylon belt and the heavy duty clip isn't very secure (I brought this up with Leonard at Fortte, and that they should consider getting a J clip heavy duty clip, but he never replied)

The second one will be the STiL vertical pouch with the strap but the loop will be oriented in a way that the pouch will be horizontal

Fit and finish is top notch, no complaints on the pouch

Sorry for not knowing - but what is OEM and BSE.

What do you think about getting the swivel clip?

OEM-Original Equipment by Manufacturer

BSE-Best Skins Ever...it's a screen protector that goes all around your phone

I leave my phone here and there when I'm working, so it keeps the dings away =)

I've never cared for swivel clips, they aren't very low profile and rarely do they fit on my 1.5" belt. I find myself smacking my phone into doorframes and desks when the phone is that far from the body. The only swivel clip I've liked is the one on the holster that comes with the phone (OEM)

Thanks for the clarification.

I like the swivel clip on the holster that came with the phone as well. I thought it might be the same type of clip. I guess from your response, it's not.

I don't have one of their swivel holsters, so don't hold me to it

I think the leather pouches direct from BB have the same type of ratchet clip as the stock holster, from what I've read on the forums

I just recieved my vertical pouch. I like the quality very much. Nice design and well constructed. BUT THE CLIP IS STICKS IT OUT TOO MUCH FOR ME. It might not be a problem for you. But for me it is. they do have a new clip that is low profile and swivels. YOu need to talk to them and order that. Its not on their website. ask for leonardo.
