 So far, perfect ! ! ! Jul 11, 2007
By O. Muniz
"Quiksilver_PR"
I am very pleased with this case. It is made very well and has a very nice leather exterior. The clip holds extremely tight and the bottom is a durable mesh so it will not block sound coming from the iPhone speaker. The mesh bottom also makes it easy to "push up" and remove the phone from the case because it is a snug (in a good way) fit.
Most importantly, this case protects the iPhone very well, particularly the screen.. Most other cases out there only protect the back, but leave the most vulnerable part of iPhone (the screen) exposed. I do not have to worry about putting this case in my backpack.

 Great case, a few flaws Oct 01, 2007
By Bobbity
This is a nice case, the leather quality is decent, and it does the job. There's not much I can say that others haven't. However, I will warn you: the case is quite snug initially, so that the only way to get your iPhone out of the case is to push the bottom of the case to push the iPhone out. The problem is, the bottom of the case has a wire mesh, which WILL scuff up the bottom part of your iPhone a little.
Other than that, I do like the case better than most I've seen on the market.

A great case if... Jan 07, 2008
By brian bonifas
it weren't for the belt clip. The case is snug but I like that because I am active and not once has the phone ever slipped out. Removing the phone can be a bit difficult at first, and if doing so while the phone is ringing, you will end up hitting one of the side buttons or top button and either muting the ringer or sending the call to voice mail because there is nothing to grasp except the areas with the buttons. It eventually loosens up with use and becomes easier to remove the phone but it takes awhile. Because of the mesh on the bottom of the case you can hear the ringer much better on this model than on other similar designed cases (I just bought a different case and can tell the difference).
Like the other reviews, the metal clip on mine came out, and yes, it looked as if the only thing holding it on was glue. Mine lasted 6 months of heavy use (on/off my belt maybe 2-5 times a day) so I feel lucky compared to the other reviewers.
It is unfortunate because i have looked at probably 30 cases and this is the one I've liked the best. It gives you great protection and great access to the phone. Luckily it is also inexpensive, and based on today's pricing, 6 months use equates to about $2.30/month. And that is either good or bad, depending on your point of view.

Slim-Fit Case for iPhone from Belkin Aug 17, 2008
By Chris J. Tofteberg
"Darth Macintosh"
I'm on a quest. A quest for the ultimate iPhone case. One that clips and stays clipped to the belt. One that is attractive. One that makes access to the iPhone simple. The Belkin Slim-Fit case for the iPhone scores pretty well in all of these categories.
I'm a sucker for cool packaging and Belkin did not disappoint, with an Apple-ishly simple package that showed off the product. The product is just one item, the case. The Slim-Fit is a leather case that clips to the belt and orients the phone vertically. This feels more ergonomic to me than my previous holster that held the phone horizontally.
The Slim-Fit is a beautiful case in leather with an aluminum accent strip on the front. The iPhone slips into the case from the top; perhaps it is better described as an iPhone holster. The sides are elastic so it holds the phone nice and tight in the case. The bottom of the case is a mesh material, so it doesn't obstruct the speakers on the bottom of the phone. Function and form are exemplary. And the case has a lifetime warranty, a nice touch.
Now for my gripe: It's almost impossible to get the iPhone out of the case with one hand. When you attempt to pull the phone out of the case, the case itself will more often than not come off of your belt. It would have been nice if the case had a finger hole on the bottom where you could push the phone part-way out to help prevent this. Belkin advertises that the bottom is flexible for just this purpose, but I found that I still need two hands to get the phone out.
Despite this relatively minor issue, this is one of the best iPhone case I've tried. Its unobtrusive and low-profile design make it perfect for wearing your iPhone at work or just around town.

Not so snug any more Aug 20, 2007
By S. Pondalur
A very good case. Nice soft leather with a professional look to it, sturdy clip and really slim. You can hear the phone well, and you can sense the vibrations well.
The iPhone fit was snug enough when I had bought this. But now, after about 15 days of use, it has loosened up considerably. I am not worried about the case dropping off, because the belt clip is real sturdy, but if it does, I am afraid the iPhone might be thrown out and get scratched up.
However, this case is slim because it is not generously padded. Also, the inner lining is not that soft. My iPhone is not scratched yet, but I attribute it to the scratch-resistent material used for the phone, and not to the inner-lining used on this. Maybe a softer inner lining is not really required.
Also, I find it difficult to pull the phone out without hitting the volume key on the side. I am not sure if there's a way to avoid this. I would hit the volume key even if I first push the phone up from the bottom.
But I do like this case (Haven't tried any other case yet).
