    So are these exactly the same size or ?

    The reason I ask is a buddy said I can have his Q10 holster

    I've got the regular Blackberry/RIM Q10 holster. Also doubles as my 9900 holster and generally works fine.
    - The Q10 is a much snugger fit than 9900. Bold isn't exactly ready to fall out, but does come out easily. This is good and bad. I think hip holster has a flap so maybe not as much a concern of it slipping out?
    - The 9900 seems slightly shorter, so in some ways a bit more protection, but if you're sloppy and carry it sideways, sometimes it doesn't go all the way in and holster mode doesn't trigger I think. If there's a flap, then it might jiggle around if you're doing some serious running I suppose

    ah so the Q10 is a little fatter, that's ok, that'll do! Thanks! I would prefer it to fit slightly loose.

    Yes he has the Blackberry brand Q10 holster. My 9900 fits just a little loose in the Vinyl BB brand 9900 holster.

    Amazon said I was getting "leather" but the Vinyl was no big letdown in the end.

    I don't seem to have any luck with the BlackBerry vinyl holsters - they don't seem to hold up very good.

    Awesome pics! Ya there is definately some wiggle room but not enough to make it go flying away if you have to run from a Grizzly bear or a pack of wolves

    ya I wasnt thrilled about the Vinyl but so far its doing good for a few months old.

    for my iphone 5C I bought a new Blackberry Z10 (I believe) leather holster and its a perfect fit width-wise but there is a little room on the top like your pics. The Z10 holster magnetic flap is off to one side so I was a little concerned of losing my iphone if it was worn sideways but then I remembered its only an iphone

    I also bought the Z10 leather holster for my Moto RAZR HD - did a nice job protecting the phone.

    The main downside of using the wrong holster is that the magnet is in a different position, so the automated profile changes won't work (you can set your Bold to be on one profile in the holster and another out of it).

    Also, the Bold won't automatically wake up when you pull it out of the holster.

    Wow - yeah I've been pretty lucky finding some decent deals on Amazon. If you search long enough you can find some under $10.

    good to know, never considered that. I'll either keep it as a spare or sell it on kijiji

    I made the mistake of buying from BestBuy (in store) but Rogers was the same price. Any official Blackberry accessory was usually pretty expensive at any store imo

    Well in this case, it seems to work fine for me. The 9900 will go into holster mode and wake up when I pull it. the only glitch is when it jostles loose and away from the magnet so is awake in the holster but rare occurence

    I remember trying the swap and it not working. So I just tried the Bold 9900 in the Q10 holster and the Q10 in the Bold 9900 holster. To my surprise you're correct. The 9900 works fine -- just as it should. The Q10, on the other hand, does not function correctly in the Bold 9900 holster, which is what I must have been remembering. Strange that one does work and the other doesn't.
