Anyone see this yet? These guys will ship and not a scam. Just wondering if anyone has this and how does it fit? Also does it scratch up the phone. Money is not the concern here, just the quality and if this does the job vs siedio then so be it.

I bought a holster that looked alot like that for another phone - it was complete junk. I would avoid this one.

well i would imagine some office execs like this one to show off the mother pearl, but im always on the move it would not fit my needs.

Yeah you can always tell those are 3rd party holsters by the way they look. They cost about a dime to make and they are pretty loose. I'd go for an OEM leather case.

I have a leather case, I have a few different ones but wanted a holster. Maybe I will just order the seidio one. Is it easy to release with one hand? I am reading the reviews but cant really tell. There is more mixed feelings there then praises. Anyone with some pics?

I too have the leather case. But I switch off and sometimes use the clip made by Seidio.

The one be Seidio is nice. And it felt lined to protect the BB when it is in the holster (face in). The spring clip works well, you can release it with one hand, takes a little practice, but easy enough to get used to.

Seidio makes two of them for a skinned or non-skinned BB. Make sure you order the correct one, otherwise the BB will not fit correctly.

Does the Seidio holster have a magnet? It did not look like it on their website.

I find it hard to beat the OEM leather holster with the swivel belt clip. I twas my favorite with the 8700c. I dislike any case that stays on the phone while you use it. I have yet to see one of these that do not get in the way of something.

I have the T-Mobile vertical holster and think that it's the best.

I've got the seidio holster, yes the magnet is there. works great, fits the phone, easy in and out. but your holster has one of the same problems seidio's has, the clip is too low. I would think without the big spring clip on the top they would think to move the belt clip up. the center of gravity is just too high. for me it would be a toss up if yours has the magnet too.

just my .02

I have both sitting here in front of me. The Seidio holster is very nice, but the poor placement of the clip makes it unusable for me. I also have the OEM leather holster - this one is great - nicely made, good protection, and much better clip placement.

no magnet makes it un-attrictive

if i were to get a holster for the 8100, i would go with seidio's or OEM leather
