you can have your berry act differently whether it's in or out of it's carrying case/pouch/holster. for example you cna set it to ring when in the holster but vibrate when it's out.
This only works with holsters that have the magnet that sends the device into sleep mode, like the pouch that came with it. I first bought a holster on ebay and it had no magnet. Then I bought one on cb and it came with the magnet. Now the holster settings work properly. Hurray!
