This thing is truly tough and well made. I work on trucks and machinery and give this sort of thing a real workout. I wear mine with the metal clip removed and run my belt through the rear bands the clip normally mounts in, which makes it horizontal. That also makes the phone easier to get when sitting or driving. The clip that latches the cover closed is a little un-handy, but not nearly as much as looking for my phone when the magnetic or Velcro type let it fall out during maneuvering over or around the stuff I work on and haul. My most recent phone was in two very ugly pieces when found and I lost all the stored info. That is very un-handy.
Update: I bought this back in September 2013. It has been through a tremendous amount of abuse, and has finally had one side of the latch clip break off. It still works well, but it does show its age, so I am ordering another as a replacement. This thing has lasted me 4 years, which is 3 years and 6 months longer than any other holster I ever owned. I have lost zero phones during this period, so I am obviously still happy with the purchase.

I like everything maxpedition makes and i have two of these use it everyday. This is a must buy for i-phone 4

I was tried of buying cheap stuff that fall apart in a few months. Now buy up anything maxpedition That i can find a uses for. Can't beat the quality and craftsmanship of their products.

Before I bought a new phone, this case/holder worked like a charm. I attached it to a Sitka Maxpedition bag. I loved it. It was right in front on the strap and I always knew where the phone was and didn't need to keep it loud but I could always hear it ring. Not that many people call me, but just in case. I digress.....I purchased a newer phone. Love the new phone it is soooooo waaaaaay cool. Huge screen so bright and crisp great call quality signal everywhere I go fast internet speeds....oh wait I was supposed to be talking about the holder. Yeah. Worked wonderfully till the new phone wouldn't fit in it. Now it just sits on my shelf all lonely and stuff. But I liked it greatly while I used it.

A very tough and we'll made product. A bit smaller than expected. I just wish they would give maximum interior dimensions rather than outside.
