Is the top clip for the phone supposed to fully go around the phone and "clip" - mine doesn't clip fully around the phone - it just more angle clips it. Afraid it may not be secure enough.

The clip closes magnetically in the center. It does not close around the case, but simply overlaps . The phone does not fall out.

Yes my daughters does clip all the way around and holds securely, but after time that same clip caused problems with the electronics in the phone itself as well as the other magnets in the case.

I did not have an issue. Just clipped it on from the back. It does not have complete top and bottom (or ends) coverage so those ends might be an issue.

It's fairly easy to clip the phone on and off. However, it's better to use both hands to properly mount the phone especially if your phone is with the case.

Yes the clip does rotate and is extremetly secure trust me the clip it self will break before it lets go of the phone

Yes, that's what I think it's for. When I purchased it and put it on my phone, it was still loose around the whole phone.

No. the clip doesn't rotate, so if that is all that matters you won't want to read the rest. I like the case--I do not agree with the comment from s a, but he may not have received the same case (sa could have contacted amazon if no response from seller--if a marketplace seller). The first case I ordered from one company (another amazon marketplace seller) had this picture, but received different case--I emailed the company and they sent me a label to return, refunded my $, and changed their listing (what you see is not always what you get, so sometimes you have to research). This case, pictured, was sold by CE Supply. I found a phone # for them, spoke with a very informative rep, then ordered from their listing on amazon. The case fits my Samsung 300M (ol' fogey phone, I know--but it is what I want!! :) -- I was replacing a similar worn out case . This may be TMI--but it is FYI !

Yeah, I don't get it...could be issues with quality control, although I've noticed most who say it fits used a battery other than hyperion.... weirdly it seems to fit my phone more snugly now than when I purchased it..( I have a hyperion battery) or perhaps I just got used to it...it's never fallen off or anything.

There are times when the corner bumpers can catch depending on which pocket you're using. I wear carpenter pants and use the leg pocket and it was tight... I removed 1 of the bumpers and kept it for use later. Phone is still safe... Another thing, initially the case was a little slick at first but that resolved itself within a week

There is a single, leather covered belt clip in the back. The clip rotates but not freely, keeping the phone from falling out. The cover is held down with a magnet rather than Velcro. I mention this because I have had several other brands over the years and have had phones break because the holder spins around. Velcro wears-out after six months so the phone will fall to the ground if it freely spins upside down. This model uses a magnet which holds the phone very well. This is the best quality version of these holders I have bought.

clip does not come off holster. The phone is in a separate protective cover which slides into the holster. The phone is protected at all times even if it is not into the holster. Sometimes I just slip phone without holster into my coat pocket. Works well.

I went to this model because I have had 4 ot he holster belt clips on the Otter Defender break with only a brush against something. The one I got through Amazon was so loose the phone kept falling out. I went to a Verizon store and got another one because I did not want to wait. This one is a bear to pull out of the holster but I was told, from someone I trust, that time will let it slide out smoother. Mine is already wearing a bit looser. I think it is just time. Now if I just don't break the belt clip I should be okay :-)

I just checked my case and the clip does not come off. I hope this helps you out.

Sorry for the delay. I had problems on another one but this does not obstruct the operation at all. It is very thin and still stays on the Phone very well. Also slides in and out of the clip holder very well

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.

Kyle - I honestly don't know - because I don't use the clip. I simply drop it into my pants pocket. It's wonderful that way. There's fancy clips and straps for these gadgets and I never use them sir.

I am taking a calculated guess here...I have a case thinner than the Otter Box case that this manufacturer says will fit in the leather holster case. Even with my thinner case, the fit was so tight that I had to snip off one of the two elastic bands that are at the ends of the leather case. It works fine that way, there is no way the phone will fall out, as long as you have the front cover of the leather case all the way down and secured..the magnets are strong...I've shaken the leather case with the phone in it, and tried to shake out the end where I cut off the elastic...the phone doesn't budge so you should be fine.

Considering that it is only held in by the USB plug itself, it isn't the tightest fit. Make sure that the USB plug is securely snapped in to the cradle itself. I usually don't have a problem with the phone falling out of the cradle. However, I was driving in Chicago a few weeks back and hit a couple pot holes that jarred the phone loose. I also installed a thin piece of foam in the middle of the cradle to stop the phone from rattling. I am overall disappointed in this mount, but I really wanted to stay with the HTC name.
