First let me start off by saying that this is a really cool concept but it needs a small tweak. Don't even think about using this as a spring clip holster. I've had mine a little over a month total at this point. After about 3 weeks the pivot point for the clip gave way under the substantial load of the coil spring. I brought it back to the Verizon store I bought it from and after the obligatory push-back and claim that I had misued this or dropped it I was able to convince the service manager to replace it. That was a week ago. The other day I was watching the World Cup Final and as I stood up the phone caught on the chair I was sitting in and the clip broke again but acrpss the width of the clip base that is held to the holster with a philips screw. This clip should either be fashioned out of spring metal or replacement clips should be made available from Verizon for very low $$$. This is an obvious design flaw in an otherwise exceptional accessory. At $30 a pop this should be better.
