This case, which received iLounge's Best Product of the Year award, protects the iPhone while still allowing access to major functions. Missing from iLounge's review of the product is the problem with the belt clip. The clip must be pried open to hook onto a belt. Unlike other common belt clips whereby you open the clip by squeezing the top. The TopSkin's clip must be forced open from the bottom...so there's no way you can simply shove it onto your belt...it's definitely a two-handed operation. Once the case in on your belt, it take two hands to remove it. Don't expect to remove it quickly...for instance, in time to actually answer a call. Don't like the clip? The iLounge review suggests it's easy to remove. Not so. I still haven't figured it out. There are no directions with the product and the website is no help either. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I've pried, tugged and twisted and I can't remove the clip. The bottom line is that the TopSkin is a great case that is very reasonably priced. However, caveat emptor: you'll have to learn to live with the useless belt clip.
