Digital camera reviews of DLO Leather Holster Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black)
Digital camera Review: Belt Clip
Summary: 1 Stars
The belt clip torn early on then it broke way from the case. I am very disappointed I like the case a lot.Digital camera Review: Best Case for iPone so far!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finding a good case for your iPhone is a lot of work. I'll save you a lot of time... If you are looking for this style of case, the DLO holster is the best. It is slim and has a perfect fit. Only downsides are the velcro flap (which is hard to open in meetings) and the case obviously offers no protection if the phone is outside of it. I understand the velcro flap instead of magnets because magnets have reportedly been fatal to iPones already. For the second downside - I use a Speck IPH-BLK-TS ToughSkin iPhone Case (Black) case for casual use around the house. However, the Speck case covers up the nice design and attracts all kinds of dust and lint. If you by one case, I'd go for the DLO!Digital camera Review: Best Holster for Iphone I have found
Summary: 5 Stars
I had another iphone holster before this one. It fell apart after 2 weeks of use. This one has much sturdier construction. Other one could not take the abuse of getting hung up on car seat belts, this one can. Better quality stitching and much heavier leather. The leather on this reminds me of Saddle leather where as the leather on the other was like shoe leather. Which one is going to last longer on your belt? Great Product.Digital camera Review: Best affordable leather case for iPhone
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had several Blackberries and a Treo and have always preferred a horizontal case with a simple belt clip that was fully integrated into the case. I am surprised at how comparatively rare this is for the iPhone. However I don't think you need to look any further than this case if that's the style you like.
The leather seems to be high quality and it has a nice finish. The inside leather is very smooth and the phone slides in and out easily. One thing I really like is that it fits very snuggly, which means the external profile is as small as possible. The clip fits easily over a belt yet it feels like it grabs the belt firmly.
My previous cases used a magnetic clasp, but I understand that iPhones don't like magnets. The velcro closure is fine. A bit noisy but I don't foresee it being a problem. It's a different kind of velco that doesn't look like it will catch a bunch of lint.
One other reviewer says he has torn up the leather already. I don't see how that could happen. The leather is thick and the stitching seems strong. The logo is embossed in the leather and is unobtrusive. Overall I like this product very much and I am sure I'll enjoy it. If you want a low-profile horizontal leather case, this one is great.
Digital camera Review: Best case I've found for the iPhone 3 or 4
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this case for about a year before it fell apart. (I'm tough on cases and holsters.) When I ordered a replacement, I went with a more popular (and more readily available, and more expensive) belt clip case with a magnetic seal. In a matter of weeks, I began to have screen sensitivity issues with my iPhone 3's touch screen -- and the culprit, it turns out, was the magnet in the competitor's case.
So when I got my new iPhone 4.0, I ditched the magnetic case and went back to this one. I couldn't be happier. I work in a buttoned-down office setting, where the stitched leather looks right at home ... and the Velcro clasp (which is not silent, but almost so, especially in a room with any ambient noise at all) is secure and fast and easy.
Highly recommended.
