This cell phone/tool holder is sturdier than I expected, and has two secure options for attaching to belt or waistband. I use the sturdy metal clip, but there is a wide belt loop available as well. I use this mainly to carry small items I like to keep close at hand while gardening or working around our property, that I used to carry with limited success in pockets. Aside from my iPhone 6, I keep my leatherman, a stylus pen, a small cutting tool, and a small pair of scissors that I find handy, within easy reach, and I use the the loop at the side for a marking pen. I am not using the plastic key clip on the front...yet. My only concern is the durability of the clip over time, as it is plastic, but so far it appears that it would work well. I think that if there is a weakness at all, it would be with the clip, as I haven't had much luck with plastic clips, but it is low profile and since I probably won't use it, it will be fine for me. I love the design of the flap that holds everything securely in place. It is tapered in over the top of my cell phone so that it doesn't block the microphone or speaker which is handy as I like to listen to music or audiobooks and there is easy access to the earphone port if I need it. My stylus pen is roughly the length of a long gel pen, and while the case holds it snugly so I don't lose it, I can grab it quickly without having to lift the flap. The inside of the cell phone pocket and the underside of the flap is lined with a soft material that has a suede feel to it, but I assume is microfiber, an unexpected and nice touch for the price, and is paired with sturdy stitching all round so it should last a long time. The velcro closure is larger than I expected, and it won't easily come undone accidentally. The overall profile is compact and unobtrusive. It gets the job it was meant to do done, and does it very well. I give this compact belt phone/tool holder a solid five stars and I highly recommend it.
