Nite IzeClip Case Sideways Universal Rugged Holster - Protective Holster for Men's & Women's Belts - Phone Utility Belt Pouch - Phone Accessories - X-Large, Black

I was looking for a clip on belt mounted horizontal holder with decent construction that would hold my LG G4. This phone case is it.My bare G4 easily fits, but I do not have a bare G4. I have a generic rubberized protective case on it that increases the phone thickness to 11/16" and length to 6". The first week or two the phone was a very snug fit, particularly the length. After about 2 weeks the case stretched so that now the phone fits snugly and slides in and out much easier.The material is quality leather with tight stitching. The belt clip is the best I have found and is riveted to the substantial leather case. I can put it on and take it off without too much effort. The clip itself is constructed in a way that it is almost impossible to accidentally come off the belt. It is very securely attached to the case with rivets and I doubt it would separate unless the case itself was destroyed or the clip was violently ripped off my belt. My forward movement has already been stopped when I was not paying attention and the case caught on something. Zero damage to the case or clip.The clip fits belts up to 2 3/16 wide. On smaller belts the case does slide along the belt but I found this to be a benefit for me. When driving the car I want the case to be in a different position than when walking, and in a different position when sitting at tables. Shifting it is a breeze.On my older cases with spring clips & loops the loops would eventually stretch or break from continual stress of wearing & shifting the case. The spring clips always failed over time because the clip lost some springiness. Not good when you bend down and your phone case slides off to the ground next to you. That is if you even noticed it slid off.The flap closure is Velcro, not a magnetic clasp. For me this was a plus because my phone & protective case was at the limits of the case and a magnetic closure may not have closed or stay closed. With the Velcro closure I can snug up the flap as much as I want. On my next phone I will be checking out Nite Ize products first.

When I look for a holster, I want four things: protection, a holster that stays on my belt, a holster that holds the phone firmly and a decent look. This holster delivers in all four ways.First, protection: I get on and off of a lot of planes every year, and in and out of more rental cars than I can count. I've been jostled in crowds, fallen and had things fall on me, and I need to know that phone will still work. Worse is when the holster comes off the belt and holster and phone fall to the ground.Which brings me to point two: a holster that will stay on my belt. I've had coats, seat belts, plane seats and almost everything else you can think of knock other holsters off my belt. Well, this one is hard to get off even when you want it to come off. I usually just undo the belt and slip it out, because it is way easier. The clip is permanently attached to the holster, and is made of a strong plastic. It is holding up just fine after a couple months of using it all day, every day.Along with that, I want a holster that holds the phone snugly, so that the phone can't come out too easily. Doesn't help to have the holster say on the belt if the phone can easily be knocked out of the holster. That won't happen with this phone. First, the case on my Note 4 is nice and snug. Second, the Velcro closure takes a bit of force to pull open. It is also noisy, which can be both a plus, and a minus (don't expect to unobtrusively remove your phone during a business meeting, for example). the plus is that I can hear it, and feel it, when the Velcro opens. A colleague with a magnetic latch holster had it stolen right off his belt and never felt, or heard, a thing.Finally, looks. Once you get past the whole "I've got a brick on my belt" thing, I just want a holster that doesn't stand out, or scream "look at MEEEEEE." This holster fits the bill, but beyond that, I actually like the way it looks, and have even had a couple of people ask me about it. So it passes the looks test.My biggest test of how much I like a product is asking myself if I would buy it again. If I lost my current holster, I would be on Amazon ASAP to buy this one again. It does exactly what I want, and is exactly what I need. I recommend this without reservation.
