OEM BLACKBERRY SWIVEL HOLSTER CASE FOR BLACKBERRY TOUR 9630 9650 CURVE 8310 8300 8320 8330

It's perfect for my BlackBerry 8530. Slim profile, looks great! Clip is thoughtfully engineered to easily slip on/off, to not accidentally snag on things, and to keep a low profile. Automatically puts my BB into standby mode when holstered. Excellent quality.Highly recommended!* * * * *But it didn't fit my OtterBox Commuter Case. The flap came up just shy of closing. It would probably would latch with most skins - just not the thick shells like the OtterBox.Well, I love the Commuter Case ... so, SNIP-SNIP, off came the flap. Now, the open holster works just fine. The OtterBox fits snugly enough that I have no worries about it accidentally falling out. The hard plastic shell of the OtterBox is slick enough that I can pull the BB out without difficulty. (Note: I doubt that the all-rubberized OtterBox Impact Case would work as well.)Just a few stitches along the cut area, to prevent unravelling, and the "fix" is hardly noticeable. And unnoticeable when the BB is holstered.* * * * *Now, I have the best of both worlds - a well-protected BB and a great holster! Thank you, Amazon!* * * * *EDIT:Now that I've had a month's experience under my belt (pun intended!), I'd like to comment on some of the criticisms raised about this product. Mind you, I don't mean to argue about what other owners have experienced. I'm merely relating my experience on these issues.Fit. My personal opinion is that this holster is not the least bit "bulky" and, instead, it is tailored to fit the BB Curve 8530.Stiff: The leather is neither soft nor stiff. I'd describe it as a reasonably supple, good quality leather with a fine-grain texture.Auto-lock: My BB Curve autolocks when I holster it. It does so whether it is facing toward or away from my body. It autolocks regardless of whether it is positioned right-side up or upside-down. However, while holstering the BB causes it to autolock, the reverse cannot be said. The Curve does NOT automatically unlock when unholstered - but that's just the way BlackBerries work. (The manufacturer makes you manually unlock it for security reasons. Otherwise, people could steal your personal information if you left your holstered BB somewhere - like in a gymn locker!)Clip: (a) I have experienced no problem with "snagging" the holster on furniture. It easily clips onto my belt. It holds very securely. To remove the holster, such as at airport check-ins, I either slide the holster toward my front - midway between belt loops - to give my fingers sufficient room to unhook the clip from the belt; or open my belt and slide the holster off. (b) The detents are thoughtfully positioned at 15-degree increments for controlling the holster rotation. They click into place with just the right amount of tension for me. Rotating the holster makes it convenient for me to retrieve the BB curve in certain situations, for example, when I'm sitting in my car or sitting at my desk. (c) Usually, the clip is the weakest point of the holster. This clip appears to be designed for the lifetime of the holster.

I don't have a Blackberry. I bought this as a case for my iPod Touch 4th Generation. I have the iPod in a slider case that adds a bit of all-around thickness and it fits perfectly. The quality of construction is very good. The leather (or perhaps leatherette) has a good feel to it. Inside the case is lined with a smooth material that protects your phone from scratches. The magnetic catch closes firmly, but not overly so. The belt loop has a ratcheting swivel clip with a hook on the bottom.......nice touch.Overall the value you get for such a low price makes this case a steal.

As always, BlackBerry makes a great product. This holster is probabaly just what you'd expect. Nice look, great feel. My only issue is that it seems slightly too big for the phone. I'd prefer a bit snugger fit, but would still recommend this product.

This particular model has a very high and square clip on the back. If it happens to get caught on the arm of a chair as you're sitting, it will give you a very nasty pinch followed by a bruise in a day or two. After three times of this happening I quit using it and ordered the model with the low, rounded clip that I've always used in the past.

Very nice We have made this same purchase before because after a fees months it can get a little worn. My friend likes to wear them with his dress up clothes.

I hate wasting time and money. Most of these cases are pretty cheap, but I seem to have them for about 3 - 6 months and then it's time for a new one. The main reason is the part that latches on to you belt, which has leather covering it, typically becomes "uncovered" through repeat sliding on and off of my belt. Another cause can be the entire clip separates from the case altogether! I believe this case resolves both problems by having an open-close clip mechanism (instead of the slide-on type), and a much stronger connection to the case. And to think that it is a BB case, made for BB phones! Why wouldn't you pay the few bucks that they are charging (I couldn't find a non-BB case any cheaper at Wal Mart/Target/etc)? Especially when you consider that the phone inside is worth a couple of hundred dollars (give or take).

I had an old blackberry case that fit my iphone perfect (4G)... This one does not, as the flap isn't long enough for the magnet inside to latch.

This case works very well. My chief concerns were: 1. Durability of the case. 2. Ability to 'sleep' the phone easily when returned to the holster. No more 'butt dialing'! This performs both objectives well. And price?? Amazingly less than I could find for a similar holster locally. Very pleased with this purchase.
