Can the Defender case be used without the holster clip. I have an IPhone4

I use it without the holster clip. In fact, I never use holster clip. Hope this helps.

Yes. I normally put it in my pocket. The case makes the phone a little bulkier, but definitely worthwhile to protect it. Can't tell you how many friends have cracked screens from dropping their phones. In my opinion, best protection you can get on the market for your iPhone.

Yes, you can use just the case, just throw it in your pocket or pocketbook.

No it doesn't. The clip doesn't lock out. I rarely use the holster. However I am in the military and have taken this case to the field with me. It has survived in my pocket while I toss my body around and was perfect working with it in the rain... I had zero worries of it gettiing damaged

There is no clip. It is form fitted to seat snugly in place when fully in the holster, it only takes a slight amount of pressure to remove the phone. It can be done with one hand without thought. It rarely comes un-seated while in the holster, only if you really catch it on something. It has never fell out of the holster as it has to slide straight up until it clears the center tabs. This is the smoothest case I have ever owned as far as removing and replacing it in the holster.

The holster/belt clip is a single piece which snaps on and off of the Defender case. As a result, you can choose to use it (or choose not to use it). The OtterBox Defender Series case is separate from the holster/belt clip and functions as full protection for the phone whether or not the holster/belt clip is utilized.

No you don't. There's also a kickstand on the case so you don't have to use the kickstand on the holster.

Yes, the iPhone 4 with otter box will fit into this holster. However, it is very loose and tends to rattle around a lot.

the belt clip is not removable but you technically don't need the holster the belt clip is not on the case it's only on the holster so you wouldn't have to worry about removing the belt clip

Holster is a separate piece. The case snaps into the holster. Thought all defender series came with holster. Your choice to use it.

Yes, the holster clip is removable. My daughter never uses it because she likes to pocket the phone.

Nicholas, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "the clip". Mine did not come with any sort of clip or holster or stand. The case is made up of only 2 separate pieces. The first piece is a softer tacky-feeling silicone inner layer that happens to be blue on this model. The second piece is a hard outer black plastic shell that wraps and snaps on over everything. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you have any more.

No. I believe the Otterbox Defender is the one with the holster. This is a softer, slimmer case. But I love it!

I don't know how big a "defender" case is. Unless makes your iPhone really fat, like over 3/4", or unless the case interferes with the Bluetooth connection, I think you should be OK. You can pull the little holder thingy out of the carrying case/device stand pretty far.

The holster is a separate piece. You can easily carry the phone without the holster. I don't do it because the phone is too big for my pockets.

No, you do not need to attach/use the holster. I don't because I use my purse or pocket.

No, this model/style does not come with one. I know other OtterBox styles do come with the holster clip.
