Rating: Summary: See Clip Trick above...very easy Review: I struggled when I first had this because it did not come with instructions on how to insert and dissengage the phone, but once I figured it out, it's the simplest holster I've ever had...and also the safest. The phone has never popped out on its own and is easy to get in and out. Just put your thumb at the back base of the antenna and push the clip up and away from the telephone while pushing the phone out with your thumb in a twisting motion. The drawback is that it does not come with instructions. A elegantly simple piece of engineering.Mine broke when my grandaughter fell on it but I'm getting another one.
Rating: Summary: Innovative, hard to learn, but very secure Review: I've had a Startac since 1998. If the StarTac clip can be considered ideal: secure, quick to holster, unholster, and easy to learn to use, the V60 base clip is a stinker. However, all is not lost. Most concerning though, the V60 handbook mentions that the phone should be 1 ? inch away from the body to minimize RF exposure hazard. One reason, I guess, the phone sits a bit far from the clip. Without modifications, you can un/clip this phone quick and snappy with one hand. Here's a sample wearing the phone on your left hip. Clip the phone on your belt. The antennae is best perpendicular to your body's long axis: i.e., the antennae faces forward. Grip the phone in your fist. Put the thumb on the top release, the antennae should be above your thumb. Push the clip FIRMLY with your thumb. To replace the phone, place the rear [charger end] into the holster first, then snap the top into place. The clip feels very secure, more secure than the Startac but at what price! That 'firm' push I mention will leave your thumb a bit sore if done repeatedly and if the plastic doesn't soft a bit with age. If they didn't stop making the Startac and if the V60 weren't as close to the Startac in design and function, I wouldn't get this phone or its accessories. Who cares about black jack, Web surfing etc., on a form factor this small? Selectable ringer tones? Why pay for those features if the phone doesn't receive and send voice messages with the fidelity we expect from the Startac? Well luckily, the V60 is a stellar performer, so my venerable and heavily damaged but working Startac is relegated to backup. However, it will be missed.

Rating: Summary: not as bad as it seems Review: I've used the motorola holster since purchasing the v60c and it's really not as bad as the other reviews make it seem. It does have a tendency to stick once in a while, but for the most part the phone comes out easily and lodges into the holster with a reassuring "snap!" i really haven't had any problems with it, other than the fact that it DOES make the phone stick out about an inch (as mentioned by others here). that is truly the only flaw to the holster.
Rating: Summary: Motorola Belt Clip Review: It is hard to get the phone out of the clip, but that is beacuse it has a really great grip on it. You will never have the problem of the phone falling out with this product. The only bad thing is that when you put the phone in the clip, you can see the front, unlike the nextel clip. This is a really great phone and not at all bulky like nextels, it can fit in your pocket!
Rating: Summary: Excellent little product! Five stars * * * * * Review: It snaps on and off my Motorola V60g phone very quickly and easily. When it's attached to my belt, I can rotate the phone some to fit it just right. Also, when the phone is on my belt, I like having the top of the phone pointed to the side. That way I can easily snap the phone of the holster with one hand and grab the phone with the other. Furthermore, I put the phone with the holster inside my pocket and secure it there with the clip. Finally, if I want to use my phone to check my e-mail, change settings, etc., then the holster acts as a nice little stand. I highly recommend this excellent little product. All the other Motorola accessories I have are excellent! No complaints yet!
Rating: Summary: Bulky, hard to use. Review: It's difficult to remove the phone from the holster, and it looks like I'm "packin' heat" when worn under my business suit jacket. Slimmer profile and easier release mechanism would be appreciated in future products. Love my V60, though!
Rating: Summary: Cant get my phone off the hook!! Review: Just got a new V60t phone with this holster. Like Moto's marketing message said, this holster will hold the phone sturdy and not falling fall easily. Works great with earpiece connected. But if you want to answer the phone by taking it off from the holster, FORGET IT!!! You'll have to drag your pants off before you can remove the phone.
Rating: Summary: CLIP TRICK Review: Just got this holster and, at first, was shocked that it appeared as bad as everyone mentioned in their online reviews. HOWEVER, there is an easy fix to the out-of-the-box tight fit: The retaining clip is actually pliable (I think it acually has a steel insert???) and can be flexed upward to decrease the tension on the phone which will allow for a substantially easier release! Being right handed, I've found phone release is best accomplished by placing my thumb on the rubber dot on the upper back left of the phone (below the antenna base) and pulling the clip release (back & upward) with my index finder in one fluid motion while keeping my middle finger over the front of the phone so it doesn't pop out. Insertion is done in reverse...all in all it's not perfect, but not as bad as the other reviews indicate.
Rating: Summary: POOR V60 HOLSTER DESIGN Review: THE HOLSTER THAT COMES WITH THE V60 PHONE HAS GOT TO BE THE WORST AND POOREST DESIGN I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT HANGS OUT SO FAR FROM YOUR BELT THAT IT GETS CAUGHT ON EVERTHING FROM DOOR FRAMES AT THE OFFICE AND AT HOME,TO BOOTHS AT RESTAURANTS WHEN YOU GET UP,AND THE SEAT BELT IN YOUR CAR.. NOW WHEN IT RINGS IT TAKES TWO HANDS TO GET IT OUT OF THE HOLSTER AND IF YOUR DRIVING!!!! WELL DO I NEED TO SAY ANYMORE... "O" THEN TRY PUTTING IT BACK IN,YOU HAVE TO HIT THESE LITTLE NUBS IN THE SLOTS,AND IF YOU DON'T GET IT JUST RIGHT IT WILL TRY TO TAKE THE BACK COVER OFF. I COULD GO ON BUT I THINK YOU GET THE POINT. COME ON MOTOROLA YOU CAN DO BETTER THEN THIS. THINK HOW GOOD THE STARTAC HOLSTER WAS..
