Ok, just got the Proclip holster and the Seidio cradle type holsters for the treo 650.

First the good on the Seidio cradle type:

1) Dose'nt interfer with egrips (back pieces only).
2) The top dosent interfer with the sd card (my proclip for my t600 use to dislodge the sd card)
3) The swivel is tough to turn, thats good. The leather swivel lock holster sold by Sprint should be called a swivel kind-of-lock.
4) I was pleased the size of the holster is similar to the smallest holsters on the market. On the website they look as if they could be kind of heavy.
5) You get alittle more protection for your phone using this kind of holster.
6) It is a one-handed operation putting the phone in the holster.


The bad:

1)Clip is to low on holster so top of phone sticks up to high and bounces around.
2) When swiveled 90 degrees a majority of the phone hangs off to one side completely unbalanced.
3) The little notches on the inside of the holster tear up egrips (side pieces only), and could catch the sides of a treo right at their seems.
4) You could only call it a one handed operation taking the phone out of the holster if you didnt mind not having a grip on the phone as you take it out, (to risky for me).


Its hard to say much about my new treo 650 Proclip, (perfect, perfect,perfect).

The good:
1) It adds next to nothing as far as size and weight to the phone.
2) The phone comes out bottom first which is most comfortable position for the hand an allows you to grip the phone taking it in and out to the holster.
3) Its an easy one handed operation in or out.
4) Even though its smaller than all other holsters and the easiest to use when it comes to placing and remove the phone, it still holds the phone securely.
5) While the phone is in the holster and if you use egrips you can still set you phone down on a slick without it sliding away.
6) The top of the new 650 proclips are designed to not touch your sd card no matter how hard you push the phone in the holster it wont dislodge your card.
7) the proclip dosent interfer with the side or back egrips.

The bad:

1) The swivel is not a small as Seidios
2) You cant set the phone in facing out (some one please let me know if my memory is falty but I swear I use to be able to put my treo 600 in the proclip backwards)
3) It is alarming that you dont seem to need to press the release button with a pen to remove proclips clip from the holster. Its supose to only be removable with a pen but its alittle week. I guess I'll have to super glue mine.


Heres some pics of my proclip, seidio cradle holster and seidio clip holster.
