Summary: What were they thinking?
Review: The Motorola V60i is a great phone (looks and feels cool too). Obviously there's something wrong with the design of the belt clip, maybe the plastic changes elasticity or shrinks after shipping or something.Don't get me wrong, the clip holds very securely, too well in fact. It's next to impossible to get it out. First, it will catch on the back battery case and attempt to pull the back off, then it will catch on the battery case release button and attempt to break that off. It avoid this, it usually takes two hands to remove the phone from the clip-- which is a real pain. On the positive side, you can actually do everything with the phone still in the clip.. ..it behaves as an extended handle (if it isn't attached to your belt, that is!). I can't imagine that shaving the clip will help, since looking at it's profile obviously the entire thing is too tight. Especially the comments about attempting to shape it higher in the middle, and what, leave 1/16" on each side to not break off later? Disappointing..

Summary: Very Poor Design
Review: The [person] who designed the Motorola V60's plastic holster should be fired. I fight with it to get the phone out - I fight with it to get the phone in. Bring back the StarTac!!

Summary: Holds too tight, sticks out too far
Review: This holster comes with the phone, I find it hard to believe that the same people that designed this wonderfull phone came up with this...
The phone fits into the holster with a bunch of fiddling, you have to get the little grooves in the bottom of the phone lined up with the raised bits in the bottom of the holster. Takes me a couple of tries and works better if I can see what I'm doing.
Once the top is snapped in, the holster holds onto the phone with a death grip. It feels like something will break trying to release it.
To add insult to injury, the holster then holds the phone about an inch of my person. Why bother buying a tiny, thin phone just to have it stick out so far???
There's got to be a better way.

Summary: RE: ROGER L. SHAVER from FORT SMITH,AR (You are way off)
Review: This is the most practical belt clip that I have ever used, received or purchased. And guess what (Roger) it's even free! So, I don't understand why anyone would look a gift horse in the mouth! Really, this clip is practical, secure, and easy to use with all of the accessories, especially the FM Radio headset, which I always use at the gym. You really have to appreciate the great design work that Motorola put into this, especially saving all of us the potential radiation that "could" occur while using a cell phone -- due to the appropriate distance that the clip sets from contacting you body (approximately one inch). I think if you take a close look at this belt clip you will appreciate the functionability and especially the price! After using numerous clips I always find myself returning to this one because of it's stability.

Summary: At least these stay on
Review: Unlike belt clips for prior models that would constantly send the phone falling into things, this one does hold it securely. Almost too securely in fact. It also puts the phone at what I feel to be an ackward angle from the body. Getting better but not quite there yet.

Summary: V60 Holster Holds only Baby Battery
Review: Unlike previous StarTack Holsters, this one will not handle the V60 phone with the extra-length battery pack. I'm not sure if the leather holster can contain it either, and no review indicates this. How odd that after purchasing the latest Motorola phone, and upgrading to their top-of-the-line battery, you discover that this detail was overlooked by the M-people. Do they personally use the prototypes prior to releasing?

Summary: Great holster - after some modding
Review: Why complain about the tightness of this holster when it's so easy to fix? This holster came with my v60 and I love it (now). I'd like to give it 5 stars but can't. It does need a little 'modding' to meet my standard of usability. I will admit, when I first got it, it was nearly impossible to remove the phone. I don't know what they were thinking but the top clip seats WAY TOO TIGHTLY for convenient removal. The battery compartment release gets in the way big time. Every time I took the phone out I almost disassembled it. Why do I give it 4 stars then? Because, with a little modification, this is the best holster I have used. The holster has clips on the top and bottom that fit into grooves on the phone. The top clip is way too long and in just the right place to interfere with the battery compartment release. What can you do about this? All it takes is a pocket knife or any other utensil suitable for taking a bit of plastic off the top tongue. ... As it comes, it's exactly the right size for the groove on the phone. But it's just too darn tight. If you shave it down just a bit and make some room for the battery compartment release it will work wonderfully. Didn't they test these things before they started mass producing? ...The entire tongue is shaved down a bit and the middle is shaved down further to avoid making contact with the battery compartment release which is not as wide as the groove on the phone. Make sure you take a little off at a time to avoid a loose fit. Even after this modification, the phone should be *very* tight. You shouldn't be able to take it off by pulling or even getting it snagged on something. However, it should come off with little effort if you push on the top tab on the holster. Summary:
If this holster came with your phone or you like the style and you're willing to spend 5 minutes perfecting it, then you've got yourself a very usable holster. If you want perfection right out of the box then this holster is not for you. Disclaimer:
Reader assumes all responsibility for following the above suggestions and the results thereof. IE - Don't cut yourself doing this and don't cry if the holster only lasts two years instead of the thirty-seven years Motorola designed it for.
