Default Seidioonline.com Now has 8125 Products - Swivel Clip Holster

They've added a section for the 8125/HTC Wizard!! FINALLY!

All they have at the moment is a swivel clip holster, but hopefully they'll have their windshield mounted cradles too, that's what i really want..

sweeeet... ive been looking for one of these for forever. i hate those leather cases that add bulk to the device, this just sits snugly holding your phone or on your waist. nice that it protects the screen too, just how i wanted it.
thanks!!

Default One issue

Let me know if you get one. I know the Verizon version of the wizard came with a holster like this one. Problem is, whenever I took it out of the holster the clip on top brushed against the MiniSD and it popped out like toast from a toaster. Hopefully this wont happen with this one.

I just purchased this case. I was looking for a case that:
  • - was as thin as possible because the phone is already pretty thick
    - was easy to access since the OEM case is so clunky
    - had a flexible belt clip, i.e., opens and swivels. I found the static clip on the OEM case difficult to attach
    - protected the screen from bumps and scratches
Here are the pluses:
  • + clean, simple design
    + sturdy plastic with an excellent belt clip design. The clip is large and easy to use. It's built with a sturdy metal spring and can pivot. The pivot gives a nice solid click when it moves and can be adjusted vertically, horizontally or a couple of clicks in between.
    + easy to use two-handed. The top clip is spring-loaded and very secure. I have no concern that the phone will pop out of the case.
    + reasonable price $30. I originally wanted a slip case, but some of the leather ones out there were going for $50 bucks. Ouch!
And the minuses (in order of irritation):
  • - not easy to use one-handed. The problem is the location of the power switch and memory card on the phone. I find it too easy to bump the power switch with the top clip while I'm loading and unloading the phone. This creates some interesting results since it's also easy to hit other buttons on the way to and from the case. Also, I've had the phone glitch because the clip hit the memory card. This is a little scary because I don't want to ruin the card or the slot hardware.
    - some flashing on the mold seam on the top clip. This was solved with some sandpaper. Not a big deal, but the flashing was sharp and I kept hitting it as I loaded and unloaded the phone.
Overall, I would rate the case as pretty good but not perfect. If I was less clumsy, maybe it would be a good one-handed case, but two-handed is okay for me. The size is right and the belt clip is great.

Sorry for the potentially silly question, but this should fit the MDA right?

It's not $5, but there is some savings. I believe this is direct from Seidio. I ordered it without any hesitation. I've been looking for a holster.

Please report back how you like it, as I'm looking for a solution, too.

Just received mine yesterday from this eBay seller. Yes, it is the Seido brand. This clip is exactly what I was looking for. I was a little concerned about clipping in and out. I guess I missed it in one of the above posts, but the top bracket is hinged, which allows you to hold it up, place the phone in the bottom brackets and let the top bracket down to hold it in. I found it very easy to do one handed after about 5 minutes of playing with it. Very good product.....IMHO
