Finally OEM Storm holster is available

[papamarik]

I've had a preordered this oem holster with msgdigital since December of last year and just received an email from them stating the case is in stock and order will ship. Very excited to get it. I'll post my thoughts about it as soon as I'll have it in my hands. Here is the link http://www.msgdigital.com/productdet...roductid=46490

The simpler version has been available ever since the phone released. By simpler, I mean the version without the silver logo button... it's on that page as well.

Yeah, looks a lot like the one I got in Nov...

Looks like $10 for some stitching and a shiney button

[BenDibble]

Heck yea! I am all about the shiny button!
I just got the horizontal version, from none other than the CB.com webstore. If you are going to get a BB branded holder, might as well go all out, right?

Hey if I carry a fancy phone like Storm, why not spend extra $10 for a pro looking leather holster. I own the one w/o emblem and it's a synthetic leather, which is not a great feel case.

If its anything like the 88xx series holster you better be careful that it doesnt slip off your belt. My dad bought one for his Storm since the Storm fits perfectly in the 88xx holster, and the clip doesnt have the loop at the bottom that wraps up around the belt like the one we all have from Verizon. He lost his Storm because it slid up off his belt, and had to get a replacement thru insurance. He now has the one from Verizon. Let us know when you get it and see if its just a straight up and down clip or if its got the hook/loop at the bottom

The one I have is real leather.

I like my plain ol' one that I got from Verizon for 24 bucks when I bought phone in early December. Don't need no fancy stitching. Didn't have to wait either.

This one is leather and the picture of the belt clip does show the curve to keep it from slipping off the belt. Also, this one can put your Storm in sleep mode when holstered (or so they claim).

I have a VZW vertical holster and I am going to try to exchange it. I like the case, but the belt clip does not have the curve on the bottom. Since its winter, the case is normally in my coat pocket. Once it warms up, this case won't be very useful to me.

Be careful with these cases, we sell the other vertical version in our store and we've already had two instances where the interior stitching and construction have ripped the send button off of customer's Storms.

I got the horizontal version since I saw that happen as it doesn't appear to have the same issue.

edit: Turning the phone around so it was screen in solved the issue for the people here.

Got mine today, the "Espresso" color (HDW-18969-002) and let me tell you it is gorgeous. Thanks for the heads up papmarik! Great price too.

Here is what I found at a London Drugs here in Vernon, BC. It even has enough room for when I get a skin for my Storm to allow it to enter and exit the holster easily.

I just got the horizontal version of that one. Fits great and works way better then the BOLD case the sales girl at best buy sold me.
