wow! that shell holster looks way more legit than the one i saw at the store yesterday. all the shops seem real thin on droid accessories.
to answer your question ,no havent tried ,but great find.
in the right circumstances i would order the shell holster!
i'm using the side pouch and am pleased. i have a small review on it on an existing thread.
I have This leather side pouch and like it so far. We'll see how long the hook and loop fastener closure holds up though...
i'm sure they have a shell/holster combo for the motorola droid...
but the link you posted was for the HTC Droid Eris...this is what the description of the shell/holster combo you posted in the original link...
Allows your HTC Droid Eris to be worn on a waistband or belt and can be taken off of the belt clip without removing it. Advanced locking mechanism securely holds phone in place.
(PART# MOTA855HOC1)
It's a misprint on the Verizon page. The one pictured on the page for my link is definitely the one for the Moto Droid....notice it's square. I have it sitting right here in front of me and that's it. The one for the Eris is exactly the same, only a little smaller and with rounded edges to fit it. That one I bought at the Verizon store when I bought the Eris on launch day...then later got the droid.
Also, I'm looking at the part # for the CORRECT case that I just bought here locally...it's what is on that link page (PART# MOTA855HOC1).
The only confusion in all this is that Verizon needs some better folks working on their website
I bought the shell/hoster combo but returned it cuz the top corner by the volume switch wouldn't stay clipped on. I tried another one and had the same problem. I ended up with the Body Glove cover, which is very nice also, but the shell/hoster combo was nicer and different.

I got lucky this morning and found both cases at another VZW store about 20 miles from me. They are both awesome...bought them both. The leather one is as much protection as I've seen while still being dressy, if you want it like that.
The really beauty is the Shell/Holster Combo...it is absolutely fantastic! First of all, it was made by Motorola precisely for the Droid and IMHO it's simply perfect. It is barely noticeable when on the Droid (thin, rubberized, but very durable) polycarbonate construction and all sides and corners of the phone are very well protected. There is a separate snap-on piece for the top. And the other nice thing is that being rubberized and fitting so well, it won't damage the phone like some of the other cases (Club Glove comes to mind). I feel as if I drop my Droid now that nothing at all will happen to it...it's that well protected.
Another cool thing is if you take it out of the (very nice) belt holster with a "real" belt clip, it still fits into the leather case because of its thin construction.
If you can get both...do it. If not, go with the Shell/Holster.
Hmmm, if it is as easy to remove as everyone is saying, I might consider moving to this as it would provide me with an all in one solution - but does it feel like it may stretch out after repeated application and removal? because that would suck....buying this thing for $30 only to have it wear out in 6 months is not my idea of spending wisely....
I am still leaning toward the ones on Walmart by Case Logic....
I can post pics of the case with and without it installed tonight. I'll post a whole slew of good quality pics for you later on tonight!
The interior is not velvet or similarly lined. It is more like a nylon and the main reason I didn't buy it. I think a case like that should be 100% lined in the softest material possible like microfiber.I'm thinking of purchasing Verizon's leather side pouch as well. What material is the lining of this pouch made of? Is it Velvet-ish? Does anyone have pictures of this pouch with the Droid inserted? Thanks!

While I agree with your points logically, I am still going to keep a screen protector on mine all the time and I personally would only put it in a soft case. It's not going to hurt anything being extra careful so why not? Besides I have read many stories on the iPhone forums about people finding scratches on their iPhone screens. They have threads over there that are many pages long debating the need for screen protection. Many swear by he naked screen saying it is virtually scratch proof. Then inevitably someone else says their screen is scratched and they have no idea how it happened.Everyone who is so concerned about the safety of our displays, should go over to the actual Droid Support Forum on Motorola.com. I don't remember where over there I read it, but they explained what Motorola has gone through to make these displays MUCH more difficult to scratch than we think. They claim to have to most durable smartphone displays in the industry...I tend to believe them.
There's a YouTube movie of a guy dragging a key across the display and it truly does nothing. I hardly think a nylon backing in this case is going to harm the display...it sure hasn't yet on mine
