Legendary McGuire Nicholas strength. Perfect for the non-corporate look. Roomy enough to snugly hold my Treo 650. Belt loop design works waaay better than the metal clip on style of the many black leatherette,office boy types. Here is the major difference.When the spring metal clip types get bumped,often they 'spring' off your belt sending your phone to the floor. Plus, the McGuire overflap (is that a word?) is velcro controlled so it is easy to open. Neat little product.
