RE: Belkin belt clip
I used the belkin belt clip for about 4 weeks before tossing it in a drawer. While the friction was generally enough to hold the phone in place I will never forget hopping off a bus in a hurry and watching my iPhone fly onto the sidewalk. After that I found myself grabbing the iPhone to keep it in place when I was in a hurry. Similar incidents occurred a handful of other times before I stopped using the thing. Additionally, the fact that the holder relies entirely on friction means that you cannot keep it in another case, for example my current rubberized cover, and also use the holder. Of course far thinner "film" covers will work with the holder.
Overall, I would give the product a "B." It does the job it was made to do, just make sure you don't go running down a hall without grabbing onto your beloved phone.
