One other tip is that I first flip the magnetic strap up, slide the cradle of my hand up against it to keep it propped open while I use my index finger and thumb to firmly grasp the sides above the volume rocker on the thumb side (and about the same spot on the other side). As I pull it out, I tilt the Z30 into my hand while continuing the motion while starting to grasp it from the side to increase the points of contact on the phone. All in one smooth motion so that by the time it's out, it's comfortably in my right hand ready for viewing or speaking if I was in the process of answering a phone call.
I can't get any more descriptive without a video09-10-14 08:58 AMLike 0 - I use the leather swivel holster and I always face the screen towards me (and away from the outer magnet) which is a lesson I learned with my first leather holster. After repeated use it stretches a little and then it is the perfect fit. At first it can seem a little tight at times.

It does take a while for the BlackBerry holster and pockets to "wear in.". They are a bit tight at first, but they have to be in order to hold the phone securely and to allow for inevitable stretching of the leather.
I would suggest inserting and withdrawing the phone into the holster a number of times to wear in the leather a bit before wearing the holster.

Posted using my BlackBerry Z30.09-14-14 09:02 AMLike 0 - It is meant to be glass in towards the belt/body. This also protects the phone better in case of direct impact from outside forces. Sure it can be stretched to work (with a lot of work...the Z30 case is very stiff) the other way, but phone in, is what it was drawn up to be.
As for the LED comments, how do you see your LED when it's sitting on your hip?...you folks all a bunch of contortionist? Also when you put it in glass facing the belt, it leaves access to the AUX out for your ear phones, if you put it in backwards you can't plug in your earphones when in the holster.

My bitchin' Z30 BlackBerry09-17-14 12:01 AMLike 0 - Thanks for the tip. I've got the BlackBerry leather sleeve but gave up on it after I first got it as it was way too hard to get my Z30 out. I just got the flip case in the mail today and phone removal is a little easier than the sleeve but still difficult. I was going to throw it in the drawer with all the other cases I never use. Didn't dawn on me until I saw your post that it would stretch after awhile like leather shoes do. Thanks again for the tip and saving me some $$ and time spent looking for a better (easier) case.

Actually, right now I keep my Z30 in the Otterbox Commuter case (Glacier white/grey).
