For the most part, this is a fairly nice phone mount. It's got a very sturdy feel to it; I'm not worried about it breaking or coming loose. It also holds the phone very snugly. The phone snaps in with a distinct enough feel that I've never let go thinking it was locked in when it wasn't. The swivel turns in eight distinct segments ranging from horizontal one way to horizontal the other (you can't keep your phone upside down). Once rotated to where you want it, it stays in that position.I've experienced two minor negatives. The lesser problem is that it can be tricky to release the phone from the holster. I suspect that's mostly a familiarity problem, though. The more significant issue is that the belt clip portion sticks straight up regardless of how the phone is rotated. The top part of the clip, while slightly rounded, is still a fairly hard protrusion. It can jab into your belly if, like me, your waist is wider than your belt. It's ok while I'm standing, but it can get annoying when I'm sitting down.
