absolutely awful
The first review of a product I have ever done, but I feel I must warn others about this dreadful product. Whilst it is sturdy enough in itself (in fact it is so big & chunky it looks as if were made for military use) the connection with the case is very poor. The phone spins round on it's axis, and if you have a case with a popper fastening it can easily get caught on the metal, which then forces the popper open, and out falls your phone. The phone also hangs about an inch away from your belt, making you very conscious that it is there. The edges are sharp, and they do mark your car seats, although they might not cut them - I don't intend to find out! It really is a sheer waste of nearly £7, and with postage you can round that up to a tenner. It really is an awful piece of equipment - you have been warned!

Oh dear
Despite the previous reviews I am not impressed with this bit of kit. I found the quality to be fine and whilst up and about the phone stayed where it was. The problem came when sitting down. During the first week my phone came off of the clip several times, so many times in fact that I lost confidence in it, when I sat down. Luckily this happened at home or at the home of family so I was able to find it. At other times I realised it had come of.
In my opinion the outer 'wings' of the release clip are too large and can be too easily depressed by seat cushions or other things which allows the phone to slide out of the clip.
I don't like to critisis something without making a suggestion of how the item might be improved. In this case perhaps the release clip could be in two halves requiring you to depress both halves to release the phone. Hopefully it would be unlikely that both halves of the clip would be depressed at the same time when sitting down.
This is a pity because I like this bit of kit.

Okay
When I got this 18 months ago it was great. Now it drops my PDA on a regular basis so is now unusable. I expected it to last a little longer to be honest.

Brilliant
I've used standard slide on clips in the past but found my clothing (coats, jumpers, etc) tends to on occasion push the phone off of my belt, especially when jumping in and out of the car all day.
This clip works extremely well, and securely slides on to your belt before doing the belt up. The front (visible in the pic) is made of metal and riveted securely to a thick leather strip on the rear, your belt then goes between the metal and the leather, I suspect its been designed like that to prevent any metal rubbing against your clothing.
The clip also comes with a metal swivel attachment to affix to your Krusell Case. The case is easily remove from the clip by depressing one of the 'wing' either side of the clip, this work very easily and hold the case securely. My only slight niggle is that the wings could dig in to your seat depending on how far round on your belt you have the clip. I don't think their sharp enough to do any damage but that's something that I've notice when sitting on my leather sofa.

Not bad.
Great piece of equipment. Very handy when driving, as it does not allow the phone to get caught on the trousers.
