Smartphone Experts Leather Side Case User Reviews

Solid case

User: jp 99, Nov 28, 2011

Pros: Leather, quality stitching, magnet closure
Cons: Somewhat weak belt clip

Overall, this case is very good. The leather is good quality, the two magnets work well, and the case fits the iPhone 4S well.

I also like how the leather can be stretched so the case accommodates thin hardcases around the phone. The thickest case I use is an Eclipse, and I also use a CaseMate thin case (purchased from this store). By using some small clamps set up as spreaders, I could stretch this leather so it accommodates the cases. Poorer quality cases could not handle this stretching.

The only issue I have is the belt clip is somewhat weak. It allows the case to be pulled off your belt when removing the phone if you are not careful. The leather side case I owned for my Palm Pre had a much stronger clip (probably twice as strong) and worked well. This weak clip is why I rated it 4 instead of 5 stars.

Good Option with Velcro Closure

User: Eric Henschke, Apr 14, 2010

Pros: High Quaility Materials, Less Grabby Velcro
Cons: A Bit Snug, No Belt Loops only Clip

Overall A good side case for the Droid. Materials are high quality, and the velcro closure is less "grabby" than the standard velcro everyone is used to, but appears to be strong enough to keep the case closed. The fit is a bit snug, but I am hoping it will stretch some over time. It does have an opening in the bottom which allows you to push the Droid up and out of the case. Does not have loops for belt, but the open ended clip appears to grab on tight enough to prevent it from accidentally falling off.

Great Case One Big Issue

User: Todd Keller, Jun 11, 2010

Pros: Fits perfect, well constructed
Cons: Leaves 2 big lines in the middle of the screen

I really like this case for the price I am impressed with the sturdiness of it, however it leaves 2 lines across the screen of my droid, now the lines wipe right off, however i have destroyed 2 screen protectors using this case as the inside piece that creates the lines on the screen rubs the screen protector in the same spot wearing it out. If you feel the inside of the case you can feel where the felt lining is thinner in the 2 places it leaves the mark on my phone.

Good with one flaw

Its good. But like the previous review its too snug and inadvertently will turn the Nexus screen on. I think over time this will get better as the case loosens a bit.

Does not fit the Droid

User: Jim H, Dec 27, 2010

This case does not fit the Motorola Droid 2 Global or even my older Droid. The case is to small

smartphone experts leather side case is way too short

User: Thomas Isaacs, Dec 24, 2010

Pros: High Quality, good functionality
Cons: It is way too short (3/8 in.) for T-Mobile G2

Even though the quality is high It is way too short (3/8 in.) for T-Mobile G2.
To return and replace will be too expensive.
Very Disappointed.
