Holster for Treo 650 - Treo Forums

jdr2043 · 02-23-2006, 09:10 PM

I am a newbe as I have just got my 650 from Verizon, What a great informational tool,
My question is regarding holsters, In reading diffent Treo forums I seen mixed reviews on Seido (sp?) holsters, and I am wondering are they good? or is the Helix better, Since most of you have much more experience with the Treo's and the accesaries, I am looking toward you for advise.

I'm currently using the Helix holster. I've had it about a month. It comes with 2 clips but the alligator-type best suits my needs, allowing me to pop the phone in and out as needed. It's very sturdy and I haven't had a drop since I started using it. I find it's a very secure fit and it doesn't interfere with my SD Card. The screen faces inward and the clip holds the phone above the camera. I like the matte, almost rubberized coating of it. I haven't tried the Seido one but I've read good things about it.

I've only had my Seidio holster for a couple of months, but I've had no problems. What were the criticisms?

I read some older posts complaining about the top clip scratching the Treo. The newer reviews mentioned that the clip had been improved, so I ordered one. I've had mine for a few weeks, and I'm happy so far.

Here's my review on the Seidio Holster. There are also a number of hi-rez photos of the Treo in the Seidio.

I mentioned in another post that I would probably upgrade to a Vaja case eventually. After using the Seidio holster for a few weeks, that seems less and less likely to happen. The Vaja cases are really nice, but I like the security of a screen-in solution. It would be a shame to have such a nice case on my Treo, only to scratch the screen (although I'm pretty confident of my Invisible Shield screen protector

)

Glad it helped and thanks for the order. As always, all accessories carry a 30 day money back guarantee from the store. If you are unhappy, please take advantage of the return policy. That being said, I think you'll find the Seidio to be a solid product that will meet your needs.

Good luck and let us know how you like the case/holster.

I have been using the Seido (from ET) and I can add my vote for it. I’m rough on the clip and have broken in them in the past (blackberry, dumb phones) but this looks like a winner.
