Functionality
Since the design of the iHolster is open, attractive modifications or sleeves (such as the colored sleeves) remain visible while the iPAQ is stored. The “case” portion of the iHolster can be easily removed from the belt clip by rotating it 90 degrees and depressing the release button on the clip. Easy to Use?
The handheld is held tightly and securely, while also sliding in and out of the case minimal hassle. However, since the unit is held in place by hard plastic tabs, be advised you might get some scratches on the unit itself. Users of stock sleeves will probably notice greater wear since more of the sleeve will be exposed to friction with the tabs. Nevertheless, since the only part of the handheld that comes into contact with the holster is the sleeve, the surface of the actual iPAQ seems to be protected.
