Great accessory
Overall, the holster works well, but unfortunately the tab that clips th phoneinplace hasa tendency to break. I have had to replace my holster around three times since i purchased my phone.

I love this holster!
I wore out my first holster like this but it took 4+ years of hard, construction work. Love it! It clips onto anything: pocket, belt, leather nail bag. I was lost for about a week getting my replacement.

Great design
I am now using my 5th Otterbox holder. I really like the fact that it clips securely to my belt. What is agrevating is when the clip breaks when trying to remove the phone from the holder - this has happened 4 times so far.

A must have for me I keep a phone in a pocket
Having been in construction for 30 yrs the holster keeps phone handy and safe when climbing and accessing difficult areas.
Otter Box Defender Series is the right product for a phone that gets abuse and keeps it safe and dry in bad conditions.

A very useful product
I purchased this holster to replace the one like it which I purchased with my phone 8 months ago. That one broke (release tab broke off). I am a contractor, and put the holster to fairly hard use, but I was disappointed with the durability of it. That said, it is useful enough in design and function that I bought another.

This is my fourth holster in less than a year. The major problem with this is the clip is weak and breaks. Maybe Otter could make on of metal. Even if you coat it with a rubber or plastic material it would hold up longer.

Great Product But Be Carefull
I am the code officer for our city and use the otter box for my work phone. It handles the bumps and bruises great but be careful wearing your phone case entering and exiting vehicles. I hooked it once on the way in to my vehicle and the belt clip snapped right off. Other than that, it is a great case and wouldn't use any other.

Holster clip
I have exclusively used Otter box ever since I got my very first iPhone. The protection of the phone itself is unsurpassed. There just is not a better one. Otter Box is tops!! The only weakness is the holster. The holster needs some sort of update. I have had the same problem with belt clip snapping off. Sometimes I have had warranty replacement, but most of the time they are purchased. That should be addressed.

Defender Holster-Don't leave home without it!
For years I have carried my iphone on my left hip in the Otter Box Defender, clamped on to my belt with the holster. Recently the holster clamp broke, and there were no local stores that carried it for the 5 series iphone ("obsolete, obsolete," they said). I didn't know how to carry the darn thing, didn't want to sit on it, not really comfortable in the front pocket of my jeans. I was lost, and afraid the iphone might be too. Within 3 days of ordering the replacement it arrived and I am now back to normal. A very necessary and reliable gadget in my book!

Weak point:Belt clip hinge-1 Part of a 2 part set.
Recommendation is a Conditional recommendation to buy given the issue with a broken belt clip hinge on the first Ottorbox belt clip purchased.
**Weak points: Hinge for the belt clip & Thickness & height of the bezel on the case holding the IPhone. The belt clip holder holds a 2nd part that wraps around the iPhone. They can bought as a set or the belt clip can be purchased separately. This purchase was only for the belt clip holder because soon after purchase the previous belt clip broke at the point where the metal pin holds the two parts of the belt clip together. I had previously purchased from another source both the Otterbox belt clip and a case that goes around the iPhone (2 part set which then fits into the belt clip.
Bought for the IPhone 5s which Apple has stopped supporting so accessories are drying up & because of that the Defender Set (2 parts) was heavily discounted. The Defender Series set includes a case to wrap around the 5s IPhone & then a separate belt clip that the IPhone case fits into. The belt clip is what I had to buy a 2nd time. The hinge on the belt clip broke soon after purchase. I normally would not have bought another after that failure but I already had the Phone case, the belt clip alone with a discount was very cheap & 5s belt clip holders are very few for a discontinued Phone. There is some type of warranty but the belt clip was so cheap that it was not worth the hassle to take the warranty route, whatever that might have been.
The case that wraps around the IPhone: The iPhone 5s has a physical fingerprint recognition button. The case's bezel is so thick & high that it makes it difficult to position the finger properly to get a good read on the finger. If the bezel had been slanted that would have helped. The thickness & height probably are not a factor with an iPhone which has facial recognition. The phone case is definitely thick enough to protect the phone itself if dropped & the case material is not so thick as to be a problem to hold and the case material make for a nonslip case.
The belt clip that the Phone case fits into. I have always used a belt clip & won't have any other arrangement. The hinge on the belt clip broke. Other than that everything was fine but, while I am babying the 2nd belt clip so that it does not break again, if it breaks again I will not buy another belt clip.
I do recommend the belt clip Conditionally given that the first belt clip broke at the hinge but I am hoping that I can be careful enough that the 2nd belt clip will not break.

Breaks too easily
I like the Defender Series case, because I can basically throw my phone on the floor and nothing happens to it. However, the holster is made of a hard stiff plastic material and the small piece that grips the phone on the outside continually breaks off. It typically breaks off just from normal usage: removing the phone from the holster a couple times a day to use the phone. I’ve had to buy about one per year, because it keeps breaking. It should be redesigned.

Much better then the cheap China junk
Cheaper china belt clip will last about 2-4 weeks before getting loose and then breaking off, Otter is the real deal and lasts 4-8 months with the abuse I give it. IF you just need one part look at all the options, we waited for the complete defender case for 4 months to get back to stock, then we realized we could buy just the belt clip. A couple days later and I'm back in business!!!!

Will not carry a phone if its not in an Otterbox Defender series case! Dropped this phone at least 2 dozen times with no damage at all to phone or the case.

Ok purchase
Bought clip to replace clip that broke, this is my third or fourth clip. Problem is that my Otter case and the clips do not match exactly and it wears the clip and case (2-3 cases now) so the clip only lasts about 6 months. Also... it is hard to pull off so I end up with pain in finger joint - finally realizes that was what was causing my pain! But the clip works - just not matching case correctly. FYI all are "Otter" products... on plus side it protects my iPhone - it looks like new out of the case and it is a 5c!! But I think that the new cases and clips do work as well as my original Otter case/clip... maybe they switched manufacturers and quality control is not as good...?

Over all good product
I have had to get two new holsters and one complete replacement in the years I have been using this product. Last holster the lock tab broke off. The first one was my fault at work. The only complaint I have is the rubber around the phone housing seems to get warn and is constantly loose on the bottom. I have not looked hard but would be nice to have a car holder that would fit the case so I can mount it on dash to help when driving and charging.

Works great
This is my second Otterbox holster as the first one broke. BUT, it broke after 5 years of daily use!! For me that is a major positive. It also protected my phone against falls perfectly. As with my first Otterbox, I found the snap holder a bit too tight. But, with a simple nail file and 5 minutes of effort, the snap holds my phone in perfectly but allows the phone to snap out with just the right amount of resistance. I simply filed down the edge that contacts the Otterbox case a bit and it's fine.

Great Protection For Phone
This is my second Otterbox Defender holster. I make deliveries all day & it is very handy to have my phone at my side. The reason it is my second holster is the first one's clip became unattached from my belt & fell to the ground during a delivery & went unnoticed until I was 2 hours away. Luckily my phone wasn't in it at the time, so I didn't go back to find it. I really like the product, but am very watchful that the clip stays attached to my belt when I am wearing it. It gives excellent protection to your phone when holstered.

I am on my third holster with my current phone. It goes 6 months to a year and then breaks off, rendering the holster useless. A metal tab would prevent breakage.

This is the case holster to buy
These are pretty rugged and hold up well. They are simple to use and are pretty sophisticated. Good design. They work. Just don't get impatient and try to slam phone into holster without it being lined up correctly. Mine last about 2 years with rugged use. That's all I ask.

The Box
Bought my original Defender Series Otter Box over 3 years ago and it's protected my phone to no end. Unfortunately the clip on the holster broke. Tried using the case without it but it was just not the same. Fortunately it was available as a separate item for sale online. Delivery was quick and all is happy again.

Good performance, acceptable durability
This is my fourth holster since I bought my iPhone5S in 2015. I like the convenience, comfort and utility. Every 18 months or so I have to replace it when the catch breaks off. It's not surprising that the molded plastic fails from fatigue after hundreds of cycles, but it does get annoying, especially since it fails without warning.

Love this type of holster, but!
This is my third one in 3 years, the holster doesn't hold up at the clip that holds phone in holster! But I like this style best, it just may be impossible to get a plastic to flex that many Times and not fatigue and break?!?! I do appreciate how inexpensive it is to replace and the response time of Otter Box to get it to me. I hate carrying my phone in my pocket! Thanks

Bought this as a replacement for my original OB holster, which I finally broke after a year when I accidentally ran it into a brick wall. It appears to be identical and it too grips my phone very securely, while providing quick access if the phone rings.

Great case - OK holster
I absolutely love the Otter Box Defender for my iPhone 5S. It has saved my phone on the construction site countless times. I prefer to use the holster rather than carry the phone in my pocket, however I just wish the holster was as sturdy as the case. While I give the holster high marks for keeping the phone securely on my hip, I give it low marks for durability. I have snapped 6 or 8 (might even be more) of the clips that hold the phone in place. This happens without warning and through normal use. I now purchase at least 2 new holsters at a time so I have one in stock when disaster strikes. Maybe you could come up with an aluminum clip (as an upgrade option) for those of us that actually use the holster. I can't imagine I'm the only one with this issue.

Materials change needed
Your product needs to be made out of some metal since the plastic frequently breaks. So far I have purchased 4 of these holsters because the plastic keeps breaking and it makes me very unhappy each time it breaks. At this point I am fairly certain that this new one will break in about 6 months. I plan to look for another option next time.

Could've been better
I bought mine about a month and a half ago. Already replaced the clip portion. Might have been under warranty but in my line of work I felt it partially could be my fault. The part of the clip that secures the phone broke. The only other issue that I feel can be improved is the clip that secures the phone to your belt or pocket etc. I feel it doesn't hang on quite tight enough. Slides around.

This is the 5th belt clip I have in the life of my phone. I am very satisfied with Otter products. In the past, I probably did the damage to break it, but this time it seems that the retention clip that hods the phone became stressed and broke. Beyond that, I was impressed with the quick response to my order and its arrival, thank you

I bought this cover to replace the cover of my husband's iPhone 5S. His prior cover had gotten chewed up by a friend's dog, but was still usable. Then my husband lost the cover. We were so disappointed, because it had survived the chewing by the Lab. But this the same design as the original cover and fits perfectly.

This is the 3rd holster that has been purchased in the last 3 years. Unfortunately they appear to break at the point where the unit clips over the case. Otherwise it is a useful add to the Otterbox case.
Only gave it a 4 because have since ordering from Otterbox found it was available from a reseller at a much lower price.

Defender: Good and bad
The actual phone case is phenomenal! Very good protection with a slightly grippy surface so it doesn’t slide out of shirt pockets when carried that way.
What is bad is the retaining clip on the belt holster is not very robust. They seem to last about a year and then break. I should know, I’m on my third replacement holster in three years.
I do like the case though and that is why I suffer replacing the holster.

Bought one with the phone. Bought another one a couple years ago when the first holster broke. Still have the phone case in the box. Just bought only the holster this year. Guess life expectancy is about 2 years. Plus, it's easier to access the phone from the holster than when it's in your pocket.

Snug and secure iPhone holster
This holster fits around the iPhone case snugly and securely, yet allows the phone to be popped out readily when a call comes in. The rotating belt clip let’s the phone be worn either horizontally or vertically. The only problem with the product is that after a few years of use, the belt clip may suddenly snap off.

Case is great - Hate the Holster
Work for a company that supports approximately 100 smart phones and we use the Defender case on all of them. The case is outstanding and fits our need in our manufacturing environment but the holster flat out stinks!! It is cheap material and does not hold up in our environment. I would say on the average I am replacing 2-3 holsters every month. Please come up with a holster that is equal in quality as the case has been!

Very Good, Durable Case and Holster
Purchased an Otterbox Defender case and holster combo in early 2013. Four years later the latch on the holster gave up. There was a lifetime warranty, but it wasn't worth the hassle to dig up the original packaging, etc. Just bought a replacement holster and carrying on. Very durable, tough product that is easy to use.

Does it's job
I have used this clip for various iPhone's, and they all performed well.
It can be a bit stiff at times, but once you get the hang of un-clipping it then it works great. I recommend putting it on a belt though, especially if you got a Defender case, as the overall phone weight can pull it off your pants.
Overall I recommend this to anyone getting on Otterbox

Defender Case
I am on my second holster. It broke at the clip after a few months. I use to wear it horizontally, but now I wear it vertically because of how it broke, when it caught on something. The holster holds my Apple 5s defender case well, but it's a little hard to clip in place sometimes. The holster needs to be redesigned to have a more precise/better alignment when in the vertical position. The position of the hand is more awkward when trying to insert the phone into the holster, compared to when it is in the horizontal position. The defender case is great. I've dropped the phone several times and not a lick of damage. I am very pleased.

IPhone Defender Series Holster Replacement
I have been using Otterbox products for many years now, and have purchased them for both friends and family. I love the quality of the product, and the customer service is top notch. If I could suggest a slight change, it would only be for the plastic holster that I use daily to carry my iPhone on my belt. The plastic lip on the Defender holster that holds the phone securely in place, usually snaps off after 4-5 months of daily use. I literally have a drawer full of broken Otterbox holsters. I would pay a premium for a “Made in America” All steel holster that lasts the lifetime of the case. I have had a few close calls where I have almost lost my cellphone after the holster broke and I didn’t notice it right away!

I bought this for my dad to replace his old one that broke after over 5 years! He is a very active person and it lasted with no issues. It is very sturdy and I'd definitely recommend it.

Always a good buy
The Otter Box w/ belt clip is always a great product but there is one important thing to know and that is the angle that you wear the belt clip. Wear the set up in the vertical position on the wrong side of your body and get in the car...broken belt clip. Try wearing it more parallel to your waist line so it does not get wedged between you body and a seat, sofa or chair!
Hope that helps.

Holster Phone Holder
Otterbox service is the best. However this phone holder has broken on my 3 times. The top click has broken in the same spot every time. Otterbox company did replace it 2 times for free and I just ordered a new one for # 3 as I was in a rush it only cost about $10 so did not deal with the warranty that time.. I just can find another product I like I Otterbox overall is great for service and warranting their products.

Breaks when hits floor
First - I've 'unsubscribed' from this review request 10-15 times...Fix your system.
Second - I wouldn't have had to purchase a 2nd, 3rd and 4th one of these cheap plastic things if they didn't break so easily. The locking tab breaks when it hits the floor from only a few feet...the whole point of this case is impact resistance...how about making it out of aluminum?

Keeps phone secure from loss and breakage
This is my third defender holster for the same phone. I broke the first one because I tried to force it onto the phone incorrectly. I lost the second one on an airplane. However, it keeps my phone secure from loss and breakage. I attach it to my pants pocket when out walking. My phone and holder fits fine in my purse. If I accidentally drop my phone, it doesn’t break.

Good case, belt clip could be better
I’ve been very happy overall with the phone case itself, however I’ve had to purchase several of the holsters because either the belt clip or the phone retaining clip broke. Maybe reinforcement of these two areas would make the holsters last longer.

Tough enough for my man.
We have purchased Otter Box Deffender for all of our phones. The Hubbies first phone was dropped numerous times from off of 12' ladders, and scaffolds higher than that, onto cement floors. Still can't believe it lived seven years in that first box. Only reason to buy a new phone was it would no longer be supported. Next phone has also made its way into an OB. Have had some issues with clips not lasting like the first one but the case is still taking a beating. His company just recently switched over to OB as well to help protect their investment.

I bought my first iphone Dec. 2017 and I knew I wanted the Otterbox case and holster to protect my phone. The case is still is great shape. The holster last 3 years until it slipped off my belt and crashed to the floor, breaking the clasp which holds the phone in place. But you definitely make superior products. The replacement came very quickly which was good because I was not used to keeping my phone in my pocket.

Design flaw or abuse?
I just replaced my Defender Holster for the third time. The two broken holsters broke at the hinged clasp holding the phone in the holster. Perhaps your records would show a design weakness or reflect my abuse. Both previous breaks occurred in my leather easy chair, perhaps the leather drag contributes to the failure. Overall I love my Defender case, it's on my hip 16 hours a day.

Great accessory to have
I bought my first Otter Box product about 8 years ago and have always been happy about its practicality.
It is a very good product to product your I-phone from most daily activities (and I have dropped the phone a few times).
The holster is also a great product to have. One issue with it is the release part of the holster when one need to clip/un-clip the phone. This is the most fragile part of the holster and it tends to eventually break.
Fortunately, when contacting Otter Box, they stood by their product and replaced the holster are of charge.

Replacement for one that broke
I purchased this holster clip to replace one included in the complete iPhone 5s kit purchased 21 months ago. The prior clip broke from a fatigue stress fracture of the center phone clamp. This failure made the belt clip useless. I am a heavy user of the Otter Box iPhone 5s kit and I will purchase another kit for my next iPhone.
This is an exact replacement of the previous holster clip that came as a complete package for the iPhone 5s.
Things that need improvement of this product: The table top mode, or desktop reading position, is not very stable and it is hard to get the desired reading angle.

The clip that holds the phone in place on my previous iPhone holster broke after years of use. I think I snagged the phone against a door jam when exiting and it broke.

The release tab keeps breaking
Although I believe it is a very convenient product for my phone, this is the second Otter phone holder I have purchased in the last 16 months. The problem? The release tab breaks off making the holder useless. It is made of plastic, and it wears out and breaks from repeated use. It needs to be reinforced or made with a spring catch.

I have had to use the warranty (but you have to pay shipping) on this item 2 or 3 times in less than a year. The belt clip is tough but the retainer clips that the phone clips into are not good. Although it is better than most that I have had in the past it leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion.

Fantastic but breakable.
This is the Third holster for my iPhone. The 1st replacement was covered by warranty. Obviously I like them a great deal or I wouldn't continue to buy them knowing they last about 2 years then break. This last one seems to fit better. Less tight when holstering the phone. Maybe that will create less stress on that clip mechanism. We will see. Might be the last for my iPhone 5c. Might be time for a new phone if it breaks in 2 years. Will probably get another otterbox when that time comes. They are great dispute being on my 3rd holster.

Breaks After One Year
I am on my third Defender Series Holster. The holster works well until the long dimension center tang plastic fatigues and breaks. The first two each lasted for a little over one year and then they just snapped off. At least the Defender Series case for my iPhone 5S has held up well. YMMV

A few years ago I fell through the floor of my attic onto the concrete floor of the garage. I had my phone clipped to my jeans by the otter box. My phone was fine and it stayed clipped to my jeans.

Replacement for easily broken unit
First one broke in a short time. The locking snap closure broke off and rendered the holster useless. Disappointed. Ordered replacement and hope it lasts longer. Works fine until it breaks, which seems to happen easily, if you are not careful. I should have asked for a free replacement, but was in a hurry.

Lasted Four Years - Good Enough
After four years of almost daily use in a horizontal configuration, the center top "clamp" broke. That's the middle hump when viewed horizontally. It broke along the line where the flat back of the holster curves 90-degrees to form the little tip that catches the small indentation in the side of the phone. The one that broke was made in Mexico. The 'Made in USA' replacement I just received from Otterbox seems to be identical except for ID numbers. I hope it lasts four years.

A very good holster.
I bought a outterbox defender in june of 2013. You would not believe the abuse it has got through. I started out with an Apple 5, and now the case has an Apple SE smartphone in it. What makes the holster great is that you don't have to replace the whole case when you damage the holster by itself.

I have the Defender case and holster. The case is a great product, unfortunately the holster is not.
I've found that I have to replace the holster about every 4 months. Every time, it's the same thing; the upper clip breaks.
I've not had one (which I've replaced 4 times now) that did not break in the same spot.
I've been looking for a solution to use the case with a different holster or pouch... still looking

Defender Otter Box
I love it. In my line of work - renovations - I do need something very durable and safe. It encloses the iPhone all around for dust and protects it from sharp objects. The holster is very handy to hang it at your side and has no way to escape. Indeed very good product and over the years I had a few iPhones and for each of them I had an Otter box. Quality of these Otter Boxes increased in the last years.

This is my 3rd holster. I hate being without one. The only drawback is that the retaining clip breaks. It's integrity may be improved by reinforcing the retainer clip by molding in a piece of spring steel. Otherwise, I like & NEED the holster.

It allows me to carry phone on belt but has issues
I bought this a month ago and while it holds my phone, the case covers the camera hole and the case is very difficult to get off, let alone quickly. I want to use the holster mainly to have my phone readily available when hiking, walking, biking, etc. or when out without a bag, but this limits its true availability, at least for anything that requires scanning or camera. So it depends on what you need/want the holster for and what you need your phone for while it is in the holster whether it is worthwhile.

The phclip piece is a "weak link" on this holster
The plastic clip on the holster that holds the phone is a weak area. (to thin for the repeated use it gets) I have purchased 3 holsters in the past 12 months because they all broke in the same way. (I'm on-line now to order the 4th holster! - $14.95 X 4 = $59.80 just for holsters!) Otter Box makes great products - I just hope they'll do something to improve this "weak link" on the holster???

I received my OttoBox Apple 5 phone belt clip on Jan. 11, 2017. I like it except that I had to build up the bottom part with 3 layers of duct tape before the clip would hold my phone in place. The clip was actually a bit too big for my Apple 5 with the OttoBox cover with the glass cover.

Reasonably sturdy but not invincible
It's a good holster in that it is unobtrusive, reliable, and definite in its use. The phone clearly "clicks" into place and stays there.
Fatigue happens though and the top hook will eventually break. I was surprised and happy to learn that I could get a holster instead of replacing the entire case at five times the price. I don't know why Otter wouldn't make that information a feature of its packaging.

Excellent product for phone security
I purchased 1 and was so pleased with it I had to buy 2 more (for a friend & a family). I am careful with my phone but I don’t buy the security warranty. With this product you don’t need to! It protects the phone, clips the phone to your waist (or whatever) and you can easily use the phone (except the camera) without removing it—or you can cover the front so no one can see who’s calling. Another feature is the ability to purchase parts so if 1 part breaks (like my friends did) you can buy the 1 part and not the whole package

Only problem with this clip is that it's the 3rd one we've ordered cause it breaks for some reason. It may not be the fault of the clip, but at least there's a one year warranty. The whole assembly incl the case is at least $40, so to be able to order just the clip is worth the money.

Happy with the product. About a year ago I purchased my first OtterBox for my Apple 5S phone. Performed extremely well and I’m very happy with this product, however about a month ago the upper clasp simply broke and I felt lost without the holster. So I purchased the second holster and I am extremely happy with that but I’m not sure Why this product failed in the first place?And hope it does not happen again.

Has its flaws!
The top clip on this holder is flawed and breaks after continued use. It’s a GREAT carrier until it breaks!

very rugged piece of equipment
I bought my first Otterbox about 4 years ago for my iPhone 5. the case and belt clip are used every day. Last month the clip to hold the phone finally gave up. I ordered a new holster and it arrived in days. The clip on the new one is very tight and holds the phone secure. Great product.

Holster Clip is weakest Link
I love the OtterBox Defender for my iPhone 5. Have had one on my phone pretty much since I first got it a few years ago. But I dont like keeping my phone in my pocket, so I use the holster. And that is the weak-link. I am now on my 5th holster in just over 2 years. All have failed at the same point - the clip. The last one I bought on-line from OtterBox lasted less than a week.

Clips routinely break
Until the clip breaks, the holster works well. My most recent one is holster #5 for this phone. Case has saved my phone numerous times, but the weak link in the system is the clip.

iPhone case
This is the fifth case that I have had to order for this phone each one is broken in the same place in the tab that connects it to your belt. It always breaks where the tab holds onto the phone. Everything about the case that protects the phone is great but the clip that holds the phone on is not very durable

Worth replacing
This is a nice holster for my SE, and necessary because without it, (phone in pocket or wherever) it is easy to lose or damage your phone. The plastic clip that locks the phone solidly in the holster broke on my first 2, but that was partly my fault since you need to be be gentle when clothing may be stuck with the phone in the holster. First one Verizon replaced for free, but Otterbox price was reasonable and came quickly.

Otter warranty is great but parts no longer availa
I’m giving a mixed review. Otter warranty is great and the customer service reps are very nice. But they don’t have replacement parts for their cases in stock. So the great warranty becomes useless. One part they sent must have changed from the original design because it doesn’t fit my old holster.

Check picture carefully
This is a clip for your phone. It is not a full holster or case.
To use the clip you have to have your phone in an Otter Box. Otherwise the plastic clip is too large for just a bare phone.

Quality is not as good as it used to be
I bought this OtterBox after finally breaking the clip on the old one I'd had forever. After receiving and using the new OtterBox I was greatly disappointed. The clip on the new one is not as strong/tight as the old one and the entire OtterBox and phone fall off of the waistband of my jeans randomly.
I went so far as the gorilla glue the clip on my old one back together. It worked great for a couple of weeks but then broke again.
I wish the new OtterBox was made to last and was the same quality as the older one. : (

An Excellent Product!
I had inadvertently lost my last Otter cell phone holster. Realizing that I did not want to do without one I placed a call to the Otter Box team and was greeted by a friendly and very knowledgeable associate. I ordered the holster, on the spot, and received it promptly a few days later. Worth mentioning is the fact that it was ordered from the USA and delivered to Canada in a matter of days.
Thank you Otter Box Team!

My first belt clip came with my Defender I purchased to protect my IPhone 5 a few years ago. The phone retaining clip broke in less than 6 months of use. It had a design flaw utilizing a sharp fillet which doesn't work well in plastic parts. I didn't bother with getting another until Otter fixed the flaw. This time it looks like they designed it right. We'll see after I have it a few months.

Otter products are the only ones to use.
I was super delighted with the Otter on-line and delivery service. The belt clip that I bought is the only one to use for my 6SE iphone (which takes the 5SE case and belt clip). I was great that Otter sold only the belt clip because that's the part that breaks every year. The mechanism's plastic hinged belt clip is now more durable and does not fail any longer, it seems. However, the top retainer clip of the holster that is just curved molded plastic with a snap wedge retainer fails annually right at the top of the holster where the clip shape starts, cracks, and thus eliminates secure use of the holster. The only solution is the holster must be replaced. That's great for Otter, and disappointing for users.
