Seidio SURFACE Holster Review

Seidio SURFACE Holster

Product Page: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/hlhtsenasc.htm

Seidio makes THE best belt clip holster. They are my favorite!

Seidio makes 2 versions of these. One for a non cased phone and one for a Seidio SURFACE cased phone. Buy the combo, saves you $10.

The entire flat surface of the Holster is lined with felt. This protects the screen from scratches. It does get dusty and linty though if you're around those a lot. Taking a microfiber cloth and wiping it solves the issue. Previous Holsters I've had actually had a sticker placed on the felt side saying "FACE-IN DESIGN". I hated that, the sticker left residue on the felt! Seidio realized that and doesn't put a sticker on this new Holster.

Like most belt clips, it can rotate 180 degrees. The belt clip itself is very strong and thick.

The beauty of this holster is the "Spring-Clip" (old name of the holster) and the Face-In design.

The Face-In design of the holster products the phone's screen from being exposed. If you're like me, I bump into corners of desks, if it weren't for the face-in design, I'd definitely would have broken several phone screens.

"Spring-Clip". The clip is on a spring. It opens up and close. It holds the phone in the holster. The spring is pretty strong so nudging on things will not open the clip and make your phone fall. The clip itself is 1.25 inches in width so that it holds a majority of the top of the phone. It is off center so that the headphone jack is exposed and can be used while the phone is holstered.

Another neat feature of the "Spring-Clip" is that the edge of the clip that touches the phone/case is lined with thick rubber. Because the phone/case rubs on this clip when you remove and place your phone, this rubber edge is there to not damage your phone/case.

The design of the "Spring-Clip" lets you place your phone in the holster easily and fast too. You simply place the bottom of the phone to the bottom of the holster, then just push/snap the top of the phone to the holster. The spring opens up and closes onto the top of the phone. Again, because of the rubber edged clip, it does not damage the phone or case.

The Holster also is notched on the side of the micro-USB port. You can plug in the plug without removing the phone from the holster. This is especially great if you're like me. I get home, go to my desk and take the holster off my belt and plug the charger in all without removing it from the holster.

BONUS

Most of you love your TPU cases because they're inexpensive, well the Seidio Holster works with them! (Make sure you buy the SURFACE version of the Holster, not the regular naked phone version. I don't know if the ACTIVE holster works, I've never owned a Seidio ACTIVE case/holster)

I bought the "S-Line" TPU case while I want Seidio to release their SURFACE line.

It fits nice and snug. Pretty perfect fit.

------------------

All in all, another FANTASTIC case/holster from Seidio. They're worth the money if you want great cases/holsters that lasts. Again, use the code above for 10% off or search XDA/Google for coupon codes.

They do warranty their cases/holsters for ONE YEAR. I had a Holster case for an iPhone 3GS and the Spring-Clip broke (because of the iPhone design, the Spring-Clip had to be tiny and it was weak), I emailed them and they sent me a new one.
