 Beware of the glue! Jun 30, 2009
This item looks good, but unfortunately the glue holding the tabs on the ends together tends to come off onto the phone. Perhaps it's just the heat of the Arizona summer, it may work better in cooler climates.
 Good overall holster for an iPhone, but doesn't stand up to wear and tear May 30, 2009
A very nice holster for the iPhone. First, to answer a question I had before I bought it: Yes, it will hold an iPhone 3G that's inside a Griffin Clarifi case and likely other cases of similar bulk.
I like that it's a magnetic closure; no "rip" of Velcro when I try to sneak it out of the holster during a meeting.
It holds the iPhone snugly, perhaps a little too snuggly at the moment, but as the leather relaxes over time I prefer it to be a little tight to begin with.
I prefer the horizontal holster as it's low profile and stays out of the way. The belt hook is reinforced with metal at the end so it won't fray and get in the way as you try to get it on your belt over time. It's just a very nice, relatively low cost holster.
UPDATE 6/7/09: This was a very nice holster, but I find the seams starting to rip already on the end straps. If I could I would replace the five stars with just two for the lack of durability.
Excellent quality and upgraded case at no charge May 25, 2009
The case looks good, works well, and does not stick out too far. The magnetic latch is easy to open but secure. The leather is good quality. The clip works well. I thought it was a great value for the price.
When you email questions, they reply in a few hours.
When my son broke my case clip (by kicking it when I was carrying him), they were out of stock when I tried to order and buy a replacement. Grantwood replied to my query that they were expecting improved models in shortly and would send one at no charge. When the first shipment they received did not meet their quality standards, they offered me one of the interim units to hold me over until the corrected units were received.
I am a happy and satisfied customer.
Best iPhone 3G case Mar 08, 2009
I recently purchased this case and now, 3 months later, here are my thoughts. Note, I keep my iPhone in an Incase Protective Cover - so that when it's out of the leather holster, it's still protected. I got the inCase cover after obtaining the Grantwood case, specifically because it fits in the Grantwood case.
1. Well-crafted product. Despite frequent opening, closing, tugging and shoving, this case has withstood much and is still in great shape.
2. Tight-fitting: the Grantwood case is fitted for the iPhone so if you want to do what I did - putting your phone in a protective sleeve or case so that it's protected when in use - you have very few options. I actually wanted the Griffin Clarifi but the Clarifi, and other "slider" type cases, are too large to fit in the Grantwood case. Grantwood, if you're listening, can you make a case that's just a little bigger specifically for people who want their iPhones protected when it's in-use? I think that would sell. Well, I'd buy one, anyway.
3. Secure. I went shopping specifically for a horizontal, magnet-closure, low-profile-belt-clip case to carry my phone around, and this is the one I chose. It doesn't disappoint for security/safety of your phone when holstered. The clip is tight and secure, and I've even been running with my Grantwood case and had no problems with the case bouncing off or moving around. The magnet closure snaps shut with a satisfying click, and it hold tight until it's manually pulled open even with lots of movement.
4. Convenient. Place the phone in the case with the volume buttons up and the screen towards your body, and you have access to all of the buttons and jacks except the dock connector and the home button; and the built-in speakers are not covered so you can hear them. Very convenient.
All in all, well worth the price and I would recommend this to anyone looking to get an iPhone case who hates velcro closures as much as I do. (Which is a lot.) I have, in fact, recommended this product to several people already.
 Good value and craftsmanship Jan 07, 2009
A tad bulky as I guess any holster for an iphone would be. The magnetic enclosure keeps it secure. Works perfect for what I had intended.
Reason for the 4 stars is because when putting the phone into the case with the vibrate switch going in first...the phone rubs against the case and will flip the switch to vibrate mode. I've never tested to see if it ever flips it out of vibrate mode.
Easy fix is to consciously keep that side of the iphone at the top of the case. Not a biggie.
