Digital camera reviews of DLO Leather Holster Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black)
Digital camera Review: DLO holster review
Summary: 3 Stars
Good overall case for iPhone 3G. Only complaint is since designed to be used on right hip, counterintuitive insertation of iPhone takes a while to get used to.Digital camera Review: DLO leather holster
Summary: 3 Stars
wished they had a magnetic flap, sort of noisy using the velcro in meetings, etc. Over time the velcro weakens, but holds up for a good six months.Digital camera Review: Defective Workmanship
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this case on the advice of a friend. This is an excellent design, as it allows me to quickly whip out the phone, thanks to the center finger slot. It also provides access for the headphone jack. However, the corners are left vulnerable, not really a problem unless it falls off your belt. There's the rub. The clip on the back side quickly tears away because the stitches are not properly sown. At first I thought I just had a lemon, but now I see they are all this way. I think you will be lucky to have it on your belt two weeks before it drops off. Because of the open corners, it will break or dent a corner when it hits. Apparently customer service has not been helpful. Try for a different product.Digital camera Review: Definitely avoid this case
Summary: 1 Stars
I received it in an open plastic casing with no labels, the seller said this is the way DLO packages their products.
The leather quality is good and the craft is fine, but there are 'Fatal' design flaws:
1) The Clip is SOOOO hard, you you to really struggle to snap it on your belt.
2) Only the upper part of the clip is fixed to the case body, which makes the clips very fragile and very annoying and difficult to put it on. 'This is alone a deal breaker'
3) It has 'velcro' to close the case, which is not convenient at all, and I need to press it a couple of time to ensure it is fully closed.
4) if you have a protective case on top of your iphone, it will barely fit.
Seriously, avoid it. I tried the "BlueHarbor Horizontal Leather Case with Belt Clip for Apple iPhone 3G & 3GS" and I'm 100% satisfied.
Good luck..

Digital camera Review: Designed to be worn on the Left hip
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm left-handed and placed this case on my right hip because that's where it intuitively belonged. I liked the case but was aggravated that I had to disconnect the headset to put it into or take it out of the case. It was also not possible to access the volume control without removing the iPhone at least partially from the case. It finally dawned on me after a few days that the solution to this was to place the phone in the case "upside down," or flipped head to foot. But I didn't like the headset cable emerging from the "back" of the case so I finally relented and started wearing it on my left hip. It's just SMOP (a small matter of programmer) to get used to wearing it on the left side rather than the right.
This is, of course, not the "fault" of the DLO hipcase - it's dictated by the design of the iPhone iself.
This is a well-designed and well-constructed case and I highly recommend it.
Note: I bought mine at the AT&T store when I bought my phone and paid $29.99 plus tax. I could have saved myself $10 buying it through Amazon.com. Oh well.
