Product Description

Combine the SPE SafeGuard SkinHolster with the SPE Ultra Slim SkinCase, and you got one great solution offering the protection and style of a skinned Treo with the ease and the convenience of a belt clip holster.

The UltraSlim Case offers half the thickness and better keyboard access of competing products. The keyboard cut-out follows the side of the Treo rather than overlapping it, so usability of the keys located on the sides of the keyboard (Q,A,Fn, P, Return, Backspace) are improved. The skin is also sprayed to reduce the stickiness of the silicone (making it easier to carry the phone in your pocket), yet offers anti-slip properties which gives your phone more grip on all type of surfaces.

The SkinCase covered Treo securely snaps into the holster's rubber interior, and a large ratcheting swivel clip ensures a snug fit to your belt. The Treo faces inward in the holster, to protect the screen and keyboard from scratch and dents.

Rubber feet and an extra large "clamp arm" makes it easy to place and remove your Treo in the holster with one hand. The backbone of the holster and clip are made of a high impact and high performance plastic, so you can confident your Treo will be secure.

Four colors of the UltraSlim case is available - Frosted Clear, Future Blue, Lady Pink, and Executive Grey. The Holster is black.

  • Fast and easy access to all of your Treo features
  • Treo remains fully usable in SkinCase
  • Two materials - sturdy plastic backbone and rubber interior
  • Large, durable, ratcheting belt clip
  • Easy access to all features including headset jack, connector, volume control, and camera.

TreoCentral Expert Review

TC Review: Smartphone Experts SafeGuard Holster and Skin Case for Treo 755p, 750
Reviewed by Douglas Morse
I've never used a holster before, so it took me a while to understand that the Treo is supposed to face inwards to protect the screen and keyboard. The Smartphone Experts Safe Guard holster and skin case bundle offers an excellent value. For only 5 bucks more than the regular holster, you also get a skin case. Or, another way to look at it is that you get the holster for an additional ten bucks if you’re buying a skin case. Either way you arrive at $29.95, an excellent value as long as this particular combination suits.

Let's talk about the Smartphone Experts skin case first. You should know that I reviewed it a little while back and you can read that review here That product received a solid 4 out of five stars. Just so you don't have to zap over to that page, I'll sum up that review.

The skin case is a thin plastic membrane that slips over the unit protecting the case, primarily the back and sides of the unit, from very minor mishaps protecting. Some also like the slightly different grip it affords to the unit. (I do). The skin case does not impede operation at all. It keeps keyboard and screen exposed while snugly and precisely encasing the rest of the unit. I marred the surface of my Treo, near the speaker, and I wish I hadn’t. The skin case prevents just this sort of problem.

The skin case comes in translucent frosted, pink, gray and blue. I don’t like skin cases on their own, but enjoy them combined with other solutions. I recently took a look at the SPE Side Pouch for a skinned Treo and loved the combo. I should also note that is easy to rip a skin case getting it on or off, especially at the thinner parts. Generally you won’t need to take it on or off unless you change the battery. Once on though, these things are difficult to damage.

Here, the ‘Experts’ are pairing the skin case with a holster. A holster is a very inelegant piece of plastic with a large clip on top and a well to hold the Treo at the bottom. On the back is a large, very very large, well simply the biggest clip I have ever seen. It ratchets 270 degrees, pops open to fit on the belt of the Gawain’s giant Green Knight. There is also a big plastic clip that slips over the top of your Treo.

StarStarStarStarStar Poorly Made
User: Phil Williams, Nov 7, 2007

Pros:  The skin was ok. A little loose fitting but OK.
Cons:  Holster poorly designed, cheaply made.

Not worth the money. Poorly Made. The holster laster for two weeks. The skin Im still using. After 6 months it is still in good shape.
StarStarStarStarStar Clip too weak
User: David Nondahl, Jul 18, 2007
I was afraid to even use this holster because the clip is so flimsy, so I havent. The skin is fine.
StarStarStarStarStar Love the skin, hate the holster
User: Andrew Barrett, Jun 1, 2007

Pros:  Nice skin for the 755p, good fit, not sticky.
Cons:  Even when skinned, the fit in the holster is very loose.

Even with the slight extra thickness added to the phone by the skin, it is still too lose inside the holster. The phone can and does fall backwards straight out of the holster when it's oriented vertically. I think I am better off with a pouch-style holster. I've had this one for two days, and I am ready to send it back.
StarStarStarStarStar Poor quality holster, good skin case.
User: David Selman, May 31, 2007

Pros:  Skin case fits very well and is made of high quality material.
Cons:  Holster belt clip ratchet lasted 3 weeks, pins coming undone in springs.

First the bad. The ratchet or indentations for the belt clip that holds the phones position in place progressively got weaker until after 3 weeks of use the phone now spins freely. In addition a pin holding the top retaining spring in place is coming out the side. Finally, the case will engage the phone buttons when going in and out of the case, forcing you to use the keyguard if you don't want to inadvertently make a call.
The good. The skin is well made and fits the treo with precision.
The bottomm line is the skin case is good, but until they make the holster more robust, you may want to shop elsewhere for a holster.
StarStarStarStarStar No protection
User: Larry Gosenfeld, Mar 25, 2007

Pros:  -
Cons:  If your not concerned about protection

The case does not protect the keyboard or screen. Some people dislike using the touchscreen with a cover. I have had a cover for the screen and keyboard on all my Treo's. They all look new and perfect. No scratches or discoloration. This offers no actual protection except that it recesses the surface.
