Don't buy one-piece holster for Droid X - defective design

JustRegularUser

The one-piece holster compresses the physical buttons on the phone.  RESULT:  the screen stays lighted 100% of the time the phone sits in the holster causing rapid battery drain.

 

This was confirmed at Verizon store using multiple holsters and multiple Droid X handsets, all with same problem result.

My Droid X holster has worked perfectly for the two weeks that I've had my phone.  I have never experienced the condition that you've described.

I've had my phone and holster for a month and have never experienced this either.

Can you guys provide a link to show which holster you are talking about?  I was considering getting the combo holster and I don't think this is what you were meaning.  Is the one you are talking about the one that it just sits with a belt clip and goes into the holster?  I was also considering going with the leather case instead of one of these holsters.

This is the holster I use and love it.  Probably not what you have now but you might want to look at it.

Yes! That is exactly the one I was thinking of getting.  I love the fact that it has a back covering to the holster for the phone.   That way the phone is totally protected front and back.  Thanks for sharing the link.  I think I will love that holster combo too.

The Verizon Holster/Shell combo for the Droid X is just fine.  I've been using mine daily since the day I purchased my DX, a month ago, with no problems.

My 1 piece holster from Verizon has an indentation at the bottom for the buttons and works perfectly.

Let me know how you like it! I really like how it fits so close to my side. You forget you are wearing it.

Further info..........

 

I suspect that the Motorola software might control physical key sensitivity.  My Droid X came with software version 604 pre-installed.  If anyone has version 604 but does not have the problem, then the mystery continues.  I now have the 2 piece holster (shell / holster combo) and it works fine.  Following is link to the problem one-piece unit :
