Does this holster have any kind of magnet set up, like the BB units, that puts the phone to sleep when cradled, and wakes it if when removed?
No magnet set up. Apparently the Droid does NOT even have this function as a magnet just makes it go into NAVIGATION mode.
Good review, and thanks for doing it. As a little constructive criticism, I'd suggest making a bullet list of things you want to cover, and then talk around those. Keep focused and to the point. For example the first 1:13 you tell us you're going to review the holster. That takes 10s at most. In fairness, after that you start cruising -- good. Anyway, sincerely, good start, keep making more -- I found this one very useful
Thank you for your critique and I will follow your advice in future vids! I've actually been doing written reviews for things like anime and video games for over 9 years but video is BRAND NEW for me.
the case has 2 pieces plus a holster. The review was almost 9 minutes long.
This should have been 2 mins max.
Is it just me or does he have Sense UI on his droid? how did he get that>
Sorry Germ, this was my first attempt at a video type review. I'll try to streamline them better in the future.
Well, there is a stop button on the YouTube player.
No, he does not have the SenseUI on his phone. It's just a widget.
@HITMAN,
Good job.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Well I was hoping he would show whether it worked with the dock or not so I kept watching!
Not trying to be rude, but if he wants to continue making reviews, the comments will help him become better.
And if its a widget... *which one?*
I appreciate your criticism too Germ; it will indeed help me make better review vids later.
As for the Widget in question, I use Weather Widgets WITH the free forcast add-on. The widget it $1.50 and well worth it. There'a also another one called Beautiful Widgets for the same price and it looks and works exactly the same but you can't download skins for it like you can with Weather Widgets.
@HITMAN, Thank you for the review. I was on the fence about this until I saw your review. Shell/holster has been ordered! Good job!
I'm sure you'll love it!
Thanks for posting the review but I must ask WHAT is up with the weapon in your pic? Guns/weapons are not cool I must say.. Are you planning to go out and mow down some squirrels with that weapon or something?
That's kind of disturbing
Where I live, we have undead racoons bud, the M4A1 assault rifle w/ holographic scope is a bare necessity!
Great video Hitman, you cover all the points I needed to know to go buy this thing.
Actually one question, if you leave the screen bezel off, does it still fit tightly into the holster?
If you don't use the screen bezel, it will be VERY loose inside the holster. This holster is meant to be use with the full package or not used at all. Do not worry though, the front screen bezel not only LOOKS nice but also protects the edges of your screen AND the flat screen itself from being bumped, broken, or scratched due to it being raised *slightly* over the screen area thus causing any drops face down to land on the bezel polycarbonate piece and not directly on the screen. And, in my honest opinion, no it does not mess with typing or hinder use of the Droid by ANY means. I actually think it provides better overall tactile feedback whilst holding the Droid and typing.
