OK. I do not have a smartphone, so my holster choices are more limited. I have a Casio Ravine with the extended battery, which makes my phone wider, so I am now even more limited. I also don't care for covers, so now I'm down to quick draw, open holster phone carriers. I've used the Case Logic version of the Nite Ize, but the holster slips out when I sit,because it does not have the hook that the Nite Ize has. This holster is actually difficult to remove from my belt, which is exactly what I wanted. It holds my phone secure. This is my second Nite Ize holster, so I know it works. I like the hook design so much, I bought their camera case that has the same option.
