The Nite Ize BB10 case is belt-clip case, meaning it is designed to be worn attached to your belt, of course. Upon my first examination of the case, I immediately loved the camouflage design and the rugged snakeskin feel of the fabric. I also love the Nite Ize logo on the front of the case, a white N and a black I against a white crescent moon!
There are two zipper pulls along the zippered track which opens and closes the case. These look to be quite sturdy, with the metal of the zipper on the inside and the outer, exposed area of the zipper track looks to be made of a rugged black material. The zipper pulls are attached with a black cord looped through the zipper slide. At the end, are gray and nicely textured pulls which seem perfectly molded to fit the thumb and index fingers for a pefect zipping and unzipping motion. I bet I zipped and unzipped my case 200 times and never once did the zipper(s) get snagged or feel anything but absolutely smooth in operation. The packaging states that the zippers are water-resistant.
nside, the molded BACKBONE fit my Centro perfectly! There is a very light gray material lining the case which feels extremely smooth and plush and the belt clip seems to add sturdiness to the already sturdy design of the 'backbone' of the case. Other than the slight roundness at the top of the case above the Centro, the Centro looks like it is actually part of the case as it is inserted, although there is room to get your fingers into the case and easily remove the Centro with little or no effort.
The inside front of the case has a small pouch, which is made of a stretchy, black material, securely sewn into the seams of the case. The pouch can be used to carry small accessories such as memory cards and the pouch is just low enough in the case so that these items shouldn't come into contact with the screen of my Centro when carried together.
Moving to the outside back of the case, we find the 360 degree rotating belt clip with 8 locking positions. Let me just say here that this clip is VERY sturdy. When I say locking positions, I mean just that - the clip LOCKS, with no worry that the clip will slip. That locking sound is quite distinct hehe. Also noteable is that attaching the clip to your belt can be quite a task in itself. While attaching the case to my belt at my hip, I had to really focus on the task at hand, because the clip is so sturdy that pulling it apart enough to attach to my belt took a bit of effort *grin*. Once the case is attached to your belt, let me assure you, there is no chance the case will simply fall off - it will need to be pried off (j/k). So be assured your mobile device won't simply come lose from your belt, unless your belt itself comes off. There is also a small, black nylon loop, which is flat and perhaps 1/3" thick through which I'm guessing you could attach to some other clothing accessory if desired, perhaps a shoulder strap.
