So far, this is about the fourth shell I've tried.  The first two were cheapies...one clear hard shell and one soft rubberized minimalist-type shell.  Both of these left lots to be desired and at the prices of only about $3 each totally understandable.  Seeking something better I ordered this not really caring that much about the holster feature, but hoping the hard case would be to my liking.  The bottom line is if you are NOT interested in the holster don't purchase it.  The fit of the cover portion is tight and I scratched the sides of my DINC by actually installing it facing the wrong way. That displeased me, but was my fault, however I feel even if I would have installed facing the correct way the tight fit may have did the same?

This is a cheap case, much like the first two cheapies I tried, but with a holster.  It really is low-cost, but I can't say it is a bargain because I just did not like it and wasn't interested in it's main selling point which is the holster aspect.  So, the holster is the reason one should buy this and if that is something you are interested in do the reasearch reading the user comments of those who use the holster as I can't tell you if this is compelling.

I will say that the best cover I have personally found is the Otterbox Commuter cover available also from Amazon.  It does everything I need best since I have no desire to use it with a belt holster.  If, like me, you interchange batteries it is also a nice solution as it isn't difficult to take the DINC in/out and change batteries.  The Otterbox seems to be a nice compromise of not being too bulky and providing excellent protection if not being the final word in screen protection.  Just know if you buy this the belt holster feature should be the only reason as it is fairly lack-luster otherwise.
