Nite Ize Clip Case Hardshell Universal Rugged Holster - Protective Phone Holder with Belt Clip - Holster for Men's & Women's Belts - Utility Belt Phone Pouch - XX-Large, Black

Recently I nearly lost my phone when my old phone belt pouch slipped off my belt. This phone pouch cannot fall off! My Pixel 8A phone fits it well and I don't worry that I will lose it. It is well built, easy to use and secure.

We searched a lot for a replacement for the one we had before for my husband's iPhone SE2. Once we found this one, we were so excited!It's sturdy, has great Velcro, clips on well, holds up in all types of weather and activities. I highly recommend this very rugged cellphone holder for men who are on the go and want to wear their phone at their hip.

If you are going to have a LARGE cell phone, then the case will have to be LARGE as well. The Nite Ize Clip Case Executive Holster-Carrying Case looks large on your hip, but it's leather, so it looks stylish at the same time. Advertised dimensions are 5.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches. However those are external dimensions, which include the depth of the Sturdy Plastic Belt Clip. Inside dimensions are 5.5 x 3.25 x 5/8 inches. Case has elastics sides which allow it to expand to about 3/4 inch comfortably. I currently have a Nokia Lumia with the Case and it fits perfectly. The dimensions with the case are 5 3/8 x 3 1/16 x 5/8 inches. It slides in well and the finger push hole at the bottom allows me to push it up about an inch, and then I am able to grab the phone from the top. I am hoping that as the case wears in...this process will become smoother.There is a "stretchy" divider inside the case, which could be used to hold a few cards, or maybe even a few dollars, but if your phone is 5/8 inch thick or thicker, I would be concerned about possibly loosing a card or money as you extracted the phone from the case. I am going to experiment by using a few "dummy" credit cards and a few singles. I had dreams about the possibility of using this case as a cell phone / wallet and ditching my bulky leather wallet, but alas, it will not be so.Side Note: I could always buy a 2nd Nite Ize case to wear on the other hip, to hold one of those aluminum wallets??? At what point do we start looking like Batman with Leatherman pouches, Mini Mag Light pouches, cell phone cases, etc.PROS - Belt Clip - Will not accidentally come off your belt or even the waist band of your Jeans.Leather construction well made quality stitching.CONS - I have read from other reviews about the Velcro Closure. I am not sure who Nite Ize is targeting for their customer base on this one...Police, Security Officers, SWAT, or Special Forces...because the Velcro works very well keeping the flap closed. Too well for the average Cell Phone user. Once person even wrote that the force of pulling the flap open what casing his Velcro to separate from the Flap at the stitches. (That's crazy) I've been using mine for 2 days now, and I fastened a piece of velcro (the soft loop side) the same size as the velcro hooks to the case main body...which effectively disables the velcro closure...for now...I have plans to modify the closure using strong magnets from an old $5 cell phone case. Probably using a combination of Velcro and Glue to effectively convert the Nite Ize Clip Case Executive Holster-Carrying Case from a Velcro closure to a Magnetic Closure. (Without modifying the original case design or destroying it.) It would be nice if Nite Ize would offer this case with options like Strong Magnetic Closure, and also in a nice Brown leather.I will update in a few weeks.I would recommend this product to a friend. (and then show them how to disable the velcro :-)

This is my 4th Nite Ize case to date and I've had the same love/hate relationship with them since my first, back when I owned a Galaxy S2. I currently own the XXL to house my LG G6 and protective case. The phone & case fit inside the Nite Ize very well, which was obviously the main reason for buying this. The secondary reason was the card holder, which is a must-have for me but always lets me down. The problem here is that the elastic in the case section stretches too much, to the point of being almost useless since cards will often come flying out of the case. If you're someone who plays in the park or elsewhere with their kids then you're either not going to be able to run around or you'll have to take this case off your belt. I've had cards fall out just from taking my phone out at the cinema to turn the ringer off, and I really wish Nite Ize could have added something as simple as a Velcro tab to folder over the card pocket to help hold it shut.Another problem is that the case just began to fall apart within a couple of months. Not only did it quickly look awful in that time but I bought my latest one in April 2017 and by August it had begun to show signs of wear & tear, going for a nice rich black to 'beat-up grey'. I don't do anything crazy or go anywhere that would damage this - it literally just sits on my belt while I go about my day to day business. Also, apart from the elastic stretching out too much, the seams start to fall apart and - worse - the Velcro holding the main flap shut falls apart. Again, these are issues that I have faced with 4 out of 4 Nite Ize Clip Cases (only the sizes that I've bought have changed). This means that I've actually developed a habit of pressing the flap down every 20 or 30 seconds at any point during my day, more to make sure my phone is still there since I've given up on trying to make this stay close. This is extremely annoying and makes the case little more than a constantly-opening pocket for my phone rather than any sort of secure holder. On the positive side, the belt loops have always held up perfectly for me!Despite just earning 3 stars I'll probably replace this (again...) since it's the only case I know that fits the phone well and lets me carry cards around without having to put a wallet in my pocket, too.EDIT: (And this is an important one)I contacted Nite Ize Customer Service who replied within hours. They told me I should have contacted them sooner and that they have a "Worry Free Guarantee". Once I had provided my info & proof of purchase they got straight back to me, informing me they were sending a replacement right away.While I can't, in good faith, give this 5 stars because of the problems I've had, I'll happily bump this up to 4 thanks to the excellent Customer Service. Knowing that the company stands by their products, flaws and all, means I'll give them more business.
