Review on πŸ“± Nite Ize Clip Case Sideways Phone Holster - Secure, Convenient Belt Clip Holder for Large Phones - Black by James Yarbrough

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great case for my Nexus 5 and Galaxy S4

closed belt loops. The problem is that closed loops invariably break or tear the skin covering the main clip, exposing more and more of the metal clip. Then I found this Nite Ize holster. The hook on the underside of the clip is excellent at preventing the holster from accidentally slipping off the belt. Even when I'm not wearing a belt, I can just clip it to my pants and the clip hooks into the inseam and keeps the pocket from sliding down. Because they work well with or without a strap, I bought these cases for my wife (never wears straps) and my kids. The plastic clip is flexible yet strong - we haven't broken one yet. The holster itself is as sturdy as it looks and protects my phone well - I do camping and hiking so that's a big plus for me. It has a pocket for cash, cards and my DL so I can leave my wallet at home and do light overnight backpacking. Note that this holster *makes a noise* when opened. As other reviewers have pointed out, the lid is held closed with Velcro - it's not magnetic like most leather cases. That's not a problem for me, but if you want a holster that opens silently, this holster isn't for you. What do our holsters hold? - I am currently using the XL version of the holster for my Nexus. 6 with Ringke Max case. - The larger version of this holster fits my previous Nexus 5 phone with hybrid case. - Several other family members use a larger version of this holster for their Samsung Galaxy S3/S4. Phones, even with hybrid cases - One of my daughters uses a Motorola G with a snap-on hard case. This phone fits snugly in their new medium version of this holster, but the fit should improve once the holster's elastic loosens a bit. All in all, I'm more than happy with this product (and I hope they don't stop making them).
