7300 holster?

[justinwatts]

Anybody know if there's one out yet?

[jetmanva]

Is it the same as the one for the rl2500 (5400)/ VM4500 (5500) ?

Don't think so, the 7300 has the rubber surround which makes it bigger.

It is bigger. I have both a leather case and holster for the 5500/5400 and the 7300 will not fit in either. Damd, now I gotta buy another case.

i waz goin to ask the same question. I went to radioshack (haven't been to the sprint store yet) and i said that i was looking for the holster for my phone. He had never seen my phone but i told him it should be the same holster as the one fore the 4500.....well we tried it and the phone really showed its size difference. Anyway hopefully a holster will come out soon because im tired of digging in my pocket for my phone

[ECLIPSE06]

yes there is a holster and a clip if u get it from the sprint store u get half of on one of them.

[telecomjunkie]

The case and clip are made by Bodyglove. This case fits really snug over the phone, actually hard to take it off once its on. I really like the case however as it does not obstruct any use of the phone. The only complaint I have is that once the case is on when you are talking on the phone part of the case can kinda sticks in your ear with a bit of a rougher edge. Its all about positioning I guess.

[izwizzle]

no im looking for just a regular plastic holster/belt clip so i dont have to keep the phone in my pocket

[ECLIPSE06]

I THINK IF U ORDER FROM SPRINT U GET A DIFFERENT ONE.

[zemax]

The belt clip is available via sprintpcs accessory line! I was also able to buy one at my local sprint store so they are coming out. Much better clip than the one for the vm4500 in my opinion. Works like the clip for the 8100 and I don't think there will be any problems with it scratching the phone like the vm4500 clip does.

I bought a holster and leather case on Ebay - they do not work on the 7300. If they list it as the same for both it will not work - I have the leather case streched out to the max and it kinda works but I prefer a plastic holster. I would prefer one htat would "lock" into the lond rectangle slot on the top rather thatn the small little hole. I think it would be more secure taht way. Ill keep looking - I went online and did not see anything on the web site and the sprint store did not have a holster. Ill keep waiting!

Tho pouches dont work either bacause the rubber lining on the phone grips the puch and it is imposibble to get in and out in a hurry. Needless to say I have a holster and a pouch that I will sell someone cheap!

I'm probably buying a 7300 tomorrow and this holster looks right, I wanted to see if anyone else had tried it.

TIA

[autobotjazz13]

I am always wary of buying things online like holsters. I work at a third party and we have never gotten any accessories for the 7300. I usually like to see how the phone fits in the holster/case before purchasing. i didn't read each message on the thread but are there any full service stores in the area that you can try?

FINALLY!!!
Some eBay Guy (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35180&item=3095565521) is onthe Ball!

[tnman]

Well I ordered it (EBAY)- Ill let you know how well it works. My sprint Store does not have any in stock.

[TechGeek]

I saw them on my in-transit report today, so stores should be receiving them this week.

[wallywalt]

I got my 7300 Holster TODAY from the EBAY GUY (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35180) (ordered Friday Night... received Tuesday Morning...
California to Iowa) and these things are PERFECT! Great Fit, Tight Swivel, and leaves the Cover Free to flip-open.

The price was Not Bad considering this guy is the First of ANY online sources to make them available... and I can't gripe about the Service (c:

I'm sure they can only get cheaper as they come into more sellers' grasps...
but I AM a Holster-Guy and couldn't wait.

That is all... over and out....

[wallywalt]

I might add that this holster Also works with the Extended Battery.
Also- there are more on eBay Now... and getting Cheaper, too!!

Thanks for the link.... I am anxiously awaiting mine.....

Just curious, did you get the extended battery from Sprint or is it a generic?

[afriat]

Yes but don't get it!!!!!!! the 7300 clip is not very tight and allows the phone to fall on the ground. Both me and another friend tried these holsters and we both had the same exact problem....if you bend down to pick something up, the phone falls right to the ground. Get the vm4500 holster. I'ts a little on the tight side but snap the phone in easy and you'll be ok....

[wallywalt]

All I can say is YER NUTZ!

This thing is tighter 'n Snot... Why- you just prompted me to do some "testing" of the new holster (tugging, slamming, and dropping) with Both sized batteries. It's still in the Holster!

Does yours have the (official) "SY 7300" embossed on the back?

BTW... the Extended Battery was Generic (Cellet) and seems to be fine.

Your funny man!!! But yes, I bought it at the sprint store, both mine and my friends had problems with them. We do construction and were always picking up big windows and glass, etc. and everytime I bent down the damn phone would fall to the ground as well as my friends. The sprint guy says Yep there is an issue with them.......Sucks because I liked that holster...

Also I think we are hitting the antenna portion as were bending and thats when the phone falls

[tnman]

It works AWESOME Very Secure!!

[ssaifull]

I'm using the 7300 with the official Sprint holster and it's making these abrasions on both sides of the front of the phone where the holster holds it in. What are your guys' experience with the holster?

could it be cuz i'm using an extended battery?

[jander]

Too many mixed signals here couple people have the holsters and say they are great and then have 2 more people prasing the holsters. I may have to check out the store here and see what is up with them...I have been waiting a while for the holster too.

[madmac]

Basically the one from Sprint sucks, and the one from the eBay guy works great, over 2 months and i still love it.

[ssaifull]

i'm in the processing of ordering the one from the ebay guy! as long as it stays secure and doesn't mar my phone, i'm happy :D

I know I'm digging up an old thread, but I'm sick of my 7300 falling out of the official Sprint belt clip. This auction has long been removed from ebay. Who is this "ebay guy" who sells good clips? What's his ebay username? When I look on ebay these days, there's a lot of different clips for the 7300. I want to make sure I get the one that works well.

I'm very intersted as well. Cough up the "eBay Guy's" info so we can save our phones from the Sprint POS.

[Pickngrin]

I'm months late to this thread, but I just bought a 7300 and also would like to find out who ebayguy is so I can buy one of these holsters.... thanks

Any more on holsters? I still have not purchased one. I am afraid I will get one that scapes up the phone bad, doesn't fit well, and allowing my phone to fall out.

I never really needed one, but will be doing a new job and really need to have the phone attached to me.

Do the official Sprint store sell decent ones now? Or still ones people had problems with?

[Pickngrin]

I just logged in after months to find out about a better holster as mine falls out frequently (yesterday I thought I had lost my phone---turned out it was on the seat of my car!). I bought mine at Radio Shack and it's not very effective.

[radioshack8066]

17-249 is the SKU number at radioshack, call and ask local radioshacks in yer area and ask for the SKU.....its disco'd but some should still have it.......

[brazil5376]

I just got mine last week from Ebay and it's well worth it. I won the bid for 1 penny and total with shipping and insurance was $7.26.

The ebay sellers name is phonestations. They are great, respond to all emails.

About the holster. Not as thick as an oem holster but very sturdy none the less and the swivel is very tight, not loose at all. The phone also goes in with the outer display showing so you can open the flip while the phone is in the holster. Also, there is a very small gap where the battery is to accomadate the larger extended battery but it flows nice with the phone and can't even tell . Fit and finish is perfect. This holster is just as goos if not better than OEM.

Hope this helps.

[jander]

I went out and bought one from the Sprint store. I have not had any troubles in the 2 weeks I have had it. I keep checking it to make sure my phone is still attached.

[cnynctry]

I got one of these and works just fine. Even works with the extended battery.
