Motorola A855 Droid Verizon Original OEM Belt Clip Shell / Holster
This is a well thought-out case for the droid. The clip on clamshell fits the phone perfectly, leaving all the ports and buttons available, though I suspect this would not be compatable with any of the docking accessories (I don’t have any). It will come off the phone fairly easily but I wouldn’t want to do this every day (and I suspect the locking tabs would wear or break too quickly). The only small comlplaint I have is that one of the locking tabs on the display part of the protector will press a couple of the keys as I open or close the display. I hope this will improve over time, but its not a big problem for me even if it continues.
The holster has a nice tight belt clip that holds the phone close to my body so that it is not sticking out to snag on things. The phone fits into the holster with the display inside so that everything except the ports on the phone are covered and protected. The display cannot accidently slide open while in the holster. So, on my belt I feel the phone is well protected against normal dings and the headphone port and volume control are easily accesible if I want to listen to music or talk on a headset.
I had the BodyGlove OEM case and returned it because it did not provide nearly the protection I wanted from a carrying case. This case is much better.

A decent holster, it’s made solid and locks securely into the holster and I feel like the design would give nice protection to the phone. The clip feels very strong and I am comfortable with using it. The holster looks nice also and actually adds a bit of character to the phone.
The only thing I see that makes me wonder about the holster is that the top piece that surrounds the screen of the droid, hooks under the screen piece by way of 8 small hooks, when you slide the screen open to use the keyboard, the one hook touches the keyboard just enough to hit the c,d and e keys and I wonder if this will cause unneeded wear on the keyboard, and its a little annoying since the typing field always has c,d and e in it before you start.

I bought this case from the Verizon store. The case is one of the best for the Droid. I dropped my Droid a few times already and I am happy that this case saved the phone. My biggest complaint is that the back opening for the speaker is more than half way obstructed! I don’t know why they did not make a full opening?? It makes using the case over speaker phone or listening to music harder because of this. I would give it 5 stars if they fix this. Now if you do not use speaker phone or don’t care about listening to music through the speaker directly, then you should not care. I also though about cutting out another opening to expose the speaker a little more but the plastic is very hard and I do not want to damage the case.
I also bought he Verizon car mount dock so I can mount my phone when I am driving. I had to take the dock back because the phone will not fit in it with the case on.
Hope this review helps

This product arrived on time and was exactly what it said it was. I use it every day and am totally satisfied. If you’re using a Droid without this protective cover, your taking a huge risk. This pair includes the protective case and the clip which works great. I’d buy it again.

I bought this cover when I bought my Droid. It fits well, doesn’t cover any icons, the keyboard slides easily, makes it easy to grab the Droid, and it doesn’t leave fingerprints. I keep the holster clipped to the inside of my purse and it is very easy to slide the Droid in and out of the holster. Its true that you cannot use the docking station with it, but I think that is more of a flaw of the manufacturer of the docking station. I only wish it came in a color other than black.
