Summary: Great but watch out for seatbelts
Review: I too enjoyed this holster and its ease of use for about four or five months; apart from seeming to get slightly looser, the phone never fell out of the holster. The phone was very easy to access and the only advantage of a rotating holster is that it is a bit more comfortable. Everything was going fine until I took my seatbelt off one day and the plastic clip attachment broke off. I use a leather rotating holster now, which is a little more comfortable when sitting but not nearly as accessible as the Samsung holster. On the whole, I recommend the plastic holster for its ease of use but it is sometimes uncomfortable when sitting and can break because of its rigidity.

Summary: No problems so far
Review: I've used this holster daily for the past five months, with the cell clipped alongside my pager. The holster adds little to no bulk to the phone, and you can unclip the phone with one hand.I can understand other's concerns about durability, but so far, I've had no problems at all. The clip seems to hold the phone in place securely for me. In five months, I have had the phone come unclipped once when the seatbelt hit the release. From my experience, this holster is well worth the price.

Summary: EXCELLENT HOLSTER AND YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE.
Review: If you own the Samsung SCH850 or SCH8500, you won't find a better holster. I tried 2 others before this was available, 1 leather and 1 similar to this holster. With the second one, the phone dislodged itself from my belt 3 times in the first 2 days and fell to the concrete. Trust me when I say this holster "really" works and my phone has never dislodged itself even once. It is comfortable and the antenna no longer pokes me in the side as it did with both of the previous holsters. If you don't carry this phone in your pocket and want a holster, I highly recommend this one. And, you can't beat the price.

Summary: Buy this, but also buy the cheaper holster, and YOU decide!
Review: Just a little background on my phone usage - I have a 3000 minute plan and use most of it every month, so the 8500 sees a lot of action in and out of the holster! I started out with the cheap holster, and thought I'd have a better holster for twice the cost. I'm going back to my cheap holster. I've had this holster about 2 months now, and I have 2 complaints. #1) In my opinion, it is NOT easier to take in and out of than my cheap holster ... #2) It sticks out a little more than my cheap holster(to accomodate optional thicker battery?) and because of this, my phone has gotten caught on things and has dropped on the ground twice. The cheaper holster mounts the phone "face in" (battery out) and doesn't stick out as much and never got flipped out of the holster. Bottom line? This holster looks good, but it is difficult to get the phone out quickly, and it seems to get caught on stuff more often. Cheap holster... doesn't look as pretty, but functions better for me. Try both and see which one is for you.

Summary: Awesome for a month!
Review: The belt clip worked as great as the other reviewers claim. It held my Samsung SCH850 phone within easy access and it never popped out unexpectedly or fell off of my belt. It was nice to have a holder that fit my phone perfectly. However, after a month of normal use, the plastic clip broke off while walking for no apparent reason. My phone fell to the ground but it withstood the beating (thankfully!) Despite this setback, I'm going to give this clip another try. I'm hoping it was just a fluke that this one clip was made poorly. I'll update my review again depending on my next clip!

Summary: Good functionality
Review: The clip is well designed and provides good functionality to the user. However the material used for the top of the clip (which holds the phone securly in place) is too brittle. I am always afraid it is going to break off. However, it has not broken off yet.
Rating:
Summary: Works great but brittle
Review: The top piece that holds the phone in place is too fragile. I had the entire phone and holder fall off my belt 3 times, and the 3rd time broke that piece. It still holds the phone, but not securely. Guess I'm forced to spend another $10 to replace the holder. I would rather have this holder than do without.

Summary: Works Great, but may break!
Review: This holster worked just great, until it broke. The plastic seems to be kind of a fragile. This holder still seems to be the best for my type of phone. I never had any problems with my phone dislodging from it. I am definitely going to purchase another one. You can't beat the price!

Summary: Works great but brittle
Review: This is a decent holster for the Samsung 8500 phone. It's reasonably comfortable to wear, and the phone is easy to access. I can see how others have said you could break it easily, but at $ a piece, it's not too expensive to replace if that happens. The only difficulty I've had with it is that sometimes when I slide into my car, the holster pushes against the seatbelt latch, and releases the phone. I've just learned to be more careful when wearing it, and now have no problems. This is definitely a good holster/belt clip to start with, with no glaring flaws in the design.
