I broke my old holster for the Blackberry 7520 after a year of good use. I really loved the factory holster but it was too expensive considering what it is and that I may only use it for a short time as I may upgrade to a newer model soon. Hence, this holster seemed to be a good choice.At first, it looked like it was quality plastic and has the swivel but I was greatly disappointed to see that the holster was designed with the blackberry screen facing OUT and not into your belt.This caused problems as I'm afraid of being in the rain with it or facing having the screen compromised because of its exposure. What a dumb design.You would think that the tab on top of the holster would hold the blackberry in place and it certainly does the job but if the blackberry was out of the holster, the tab is easily compromised in terms of breakage.....which, not even a month, broke off as I laid down.not worth the money for the phone orientation alone.
