just tested it. YES, the phone goes into sleeper mode when placed face-out. NO, if you put the top of the phone into the base first (i.e. upside-down). when the phone is in the holster with the sleeper magnet engaged, incoming calls do not reactivate the screen - you just get the flashing light and/or vibrating. I recommend keeping it face-in to protect the screen and keep possible grim out of the keys and roller ball. again, better to have scratches on the battery door (replaceable)!
I don't think you will be disappointed with this holster.

I just bought the seidio for my 8130 and my felt stuff is already coming off after two weeks.

Thank you for the information. I REALLY like this holster because it seems like it is good quality and it has the hinge at top rather then friction top. I haven't ever used a holster b4 because they always seem cheap and too plasticky. I just want it for my purse so I can latch it on. Problem is that i don't want to take the phone out of holster every time I need to use it (I use it A LOT) This would probably be perfect for me if it didn't have the sleeper magnet. I bought screen protectors and the bodyguardz full skin to protect the outside. I just can't figure out what I want. I know I don't want something bulky and I think that's why I love this one so much. I wonder if they would make it for me without the magnet? hmmmmmm????? Unless someone knows how to be able to use the phone in the holster?

Any idea when the rubberized hard case and holster will be available for the 8130? I've been checking the website, the only thing it says is coming soon.

yes, it is coming. I do not have ETA date (our product group has not let me know yet). I think it will be about 7 to 10 days from now.

Will the holster still hold the 8130 if I appy the BSE Skin protection material?
Thanks,

Yes.

The question I have is, if the magnet is that strong, will it wipe out bank/credit card mag-strips?

[melvinodo]

I have had my Sedio belt clip (non rubberized) for about a year now.

It still rocks!

Concern about it wiping bank cards? No. It will not.

Umm, why are you trying to put your bank cards in your cell phones belt clip?

Anyways, just due to the distance away from the clip that your cards will be (beyond half an inch) the magnet is not strong enough to wipe them. You would get stuck to most kitchen appliances as you walked by it if were.

Do I have scarring of my unprotected Pearl (8100) from this clip after a year? Yes and no. The 8100 is chromed on the stop. My chrome is a little warn down in the region. But then again the phone is over a year old.

The felt is firmly intact and my screen is scratch free.

The belt clip swivel is still very tight, the spring in the clip is still strong, and the top clip spring is as well. I have always worn my clip upside down as well, and have no fear of this failing on me.

The only trick to wearing it upside down (complete with the belt clip portion upside down as well) is that on some soft belts (such as a web belt as opposed to firmer leather belts) external preassures (such as my cars seat belt) will tend to pop it off. This might be alleviated by a more aggresive hook design on the clip like my old samsung flip phone had, but the way it is (or was 1 year ago) still works great on a firm belt.

I would buy this again for a new phone, as I don't suspect I'll need to by another to replace this one (barring dogs, and cliff height drops).

I had the 8100 for a year with this very same belt clip and it was very good. I did not notice any damage to the top of the berry after a year of faithful service. The swivel stayed tight and never varied from its set position. One thing that has already been noted here... When wearing the berry horizontally, the top of the spring clip is a bit tall and would jab me in the ribs when seated. Wearing it upside down eliminates this problem completely.

I have the Seidio holster and the Seidio skin on my 8130. I really like this combo as well. The clip has started wearing on the top of the skin. No biggie...

I ordered this clip from Seido online May 6, 2008; the site says the order shipped, but no tracking no., and after 2 weeks, no clip, and none of the other things that I bundled with my order. CC has been duly changed though.

I see good reviews here, but I am getting nervous...

Alox,

Thanks,
