I've been using them since my Note 5 and I always end up setting the Holster aside and just putting the rest of the phone and case in my pocket. It's great, but the belt clip is so strong and wraps around my belt so far that I have a helluva time getting it off my belt when it comes time to take it off. Every time I get a new one for a new Note Series, I try it for a while and the same thing happens... I'm sure it's just personal preference on my part. Better to have it latched than falling off your belt for sure... I just got frustrated trying to remove the darned thing at night. I always end up just tossing the holster aside and putting the main case and phone in my pocket and just use it that way. Case itself is awesome - like my Ford Super Duty truck! 2 Note 5's, a Note 7, a Galaxy S7 Active, a Note 8 and now my Note 9!!! UB Pro Fanatic!
