I already have an otterbox (defender, I think?) that came with a belt clip holster. The belt clip broke and the case is very difficult to slip in and out of my pocket. Is this model less.... sticky? for lack of a better word... will it slide easily in...

Hey. Actually this model (commuter) is not much sticky as the silicon case goes in and hard shell mostly covers it. Also the exposed silicon is not that sticky and it doesn't create issue in sliding. I think in defender case, the hard shell goes in and all the exterior is silicon; that might be a problem. Thankfully Commuter case design is exactly opposite so it works fine.

Yes. Belt clip is not removable from holster but functions as kickstand for phone when locked open. I don't use it because it's a big phone and just the case adds a lot of bulk... holster ads significantly more bulk.

No, you will need a thinner case. The thicker otterbox csses will not fit. It is a nice leather holster. My husband has used it for a couple years and it has worked very well.

I have an iPhone 5s. With the Otterbox defender case, mine would not fit into the holster without a great deal of forcing.I ended up having to put a much smaller case on mine so that I could use the holster.

No, I have an Otterbox on my wife's Iphone3 and nothing really fits because it is so thick. The otterbox is good if you have a tendency to drop your phone otherwise I have not found a holster that will fit with it on the phone. I have since taken the otterbox off the phone and used the shell holster combo and it works quite well. I hope this helps you.

The belt clip is sturdy, but in my experiences with it, the holster tends to come off the belt during somewhat strenuous movement, I do not think it will stay clipped. In fact I have added a small chain to the side stylus band and attached it to a small carabiner that I attach to a belt loop to avoid loss.

yes though i dont use mine the case is very sturdy too. ive dropped mine a few times and you cant even tell that it has been. the holster is pretty good and the clip is on a turn swivel that stays in place well and is kinda tough to make it turn. I highly recommend this item.

I can only answer part of the question. It doesn't come with a clip or holster. You put the S4 in a rubber sleeve, then put that in the plastic shell. It also comes with a screen protector which I never use. I don't know if it will fit in your Defender case. I put mine in a leather belt clip case that I had originally gotten for my DROID RAZR. I had to stretch it out for the RAZR with a Commuter. Had to stretch it even more for the S4 with the Commuter. That said, you could probably find a generic case to fit even better than mine. I am just too cheap to buy a new one since mine works for me.

your question is a little confusing but I'll give you a framework - the protective shell covers the back of the phone. Once you have the protective shell, you can then slide in the phone+shell in the holster.

Oh yeah. I haven't used the holster at all since I got the case. It clips on and off very easily. The case has two small clips on each side but are well flushed with the case you dont really notice them.

With the iPhone 5 and Otterbox Commuter case, my holster has 5 mm extra room in all dimensions. The Defender case is a bit thicker than the one I have, but I'd expect this holster to handle Defender with ease, and even the Armor series on an iPhone5. Recommended.

No it won't and you don't need an otterbox. I can tell you that my husband's fell out of his pocket when he was on a oil tank about 25ft up, and it hit the ground and he is still using it and it did not break. It has shock resistance so it not needed. He uses the belt clip holster and it clips tightly so no problem. It only fell when he broke his old holster and waiting for the new one to get to him. Excellent product.. I bought one for my Note 2.

My husband has this case on his s4 as well and has never had an issue sliding it in his pocket. It does make the phone thicker but not as much as the defender series will. I don't think it's a deal breaker.

Try the otter box for this model. It is better construction than most other holsters.

The case if fine. I have a Ballistic case and it fits easily. An even larger case would still work. Haven't seen or tried the Otterbox DEFENDER case with the belt pouch.

The belt clip has a small edge at the end of the clip which locks firmly to fabric. Along with that it has a very stiff spring which requires quite a bit of pressure to activate in order to clip it onto clothing. It's not your standard slide on clip. I do a lot of outdoors jobs that result in bumping and banging the case. I've yet to jerk the case off clothing with some pretty hard banging and the case will take all the abuse you can give it. Running with it would be mild compared to what I've done with it. It is not going to fall off!!
