The plastic holster that came with my BB 8700 is quite flimsy, and also scratches up the screen on my BB 8700. I purchased this based on the other reviews, the low cost, and the picture shown here. The quality of this case is great- the leather is really soft, it holds the BB 8700 very securely, it's easy to flip open to get the BB 8700 out, you can hear the BB 8700 ringing and feel it vibrate, and it looks great. Knowing wwhat I know now, I would gladly pay double what I paid for this case.
