iPhone 5C Case, Aduro COMBO Shell & Holster Case Super Slim Shell Case w/ Built-In Kickstand + Swivel Belt Clip Holster for Apple iPhone 5C

So far, this thing rocks.Phone back:*Perfect fit for the 5c in the snap on back.*Nicely textured for grip.*Nifty kickstand (which is a bit hard to get out - but that's alright).*All controls and ports accessible.I use it a lot without the holster - sliding it into a side pocket of jeans.The back has enough texture to get a grip on it in the pocket and pull it out, while not being sticky and making it difficult. Plus it provides a bit of protection by itself. The edges of the back protrude slightly past the phone face, protecting the glass when placing the phone face down.The phone slides nicely into the holster:*Has a good, solid feeling clip.*Clip rotates only 180 degrees*The design keeps the screen away from any surfaces.*There is a fuzzy surface inside the holster anyway.The phone with back is meant and designed to go into the holster in one direction, but it will go in upside down. The controls are a little bit hindered that way (the volume and mute switch are obstructed slightly), but it is still usable. The ports and power switch are still accessible, though if you had a "fat" audio plug you might want to round out a little bit of the edge where the hole lines up with the holster. The stock bud plug works fine.It WILL go in with the phone face out if you push a little. But that way the volume/mute switches are even more obstructed. But it's do-able.For the price, this thing is great. I have another couple of slim case backs coming from Amazon - a TOTALEE scarf and a diztronic TPU, but for utility this thing may be hard to beat.

This is a good protector for your iphone 5C. The shell that surrounds the phone has a nice feel, not too plastic-y but easy to hold onto. It fits very snugly and it takes a little work to get it out of the shell -- but you don't really need to do that often. The phone and shell slips in and out of the holster just easily enough - it's not going to fall out but it's relatively easy to remove it when needed. Its perfect for guys who keep their phone clipped onto a belt or the waistband of slacks. The clip does not swivel but seems very sturdy.

Ever since I switched from my iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5C last year, I've been having great difficulty in finding a case with belt clip that actually worked. I've tried (and reviewed) several, all of which have been problematic. One didn't fit tight, so the phone shifted around in the case. Another was made of foam that turned out to be so clingy that it was impossible to get out of the belt holster. Another worked OK for a couple of months, and then the belt clip fell apart.Personally, I blame Apple. They didn't get behind the 5C at the launch, preferring to showcase the 5S, and the accessory ecosystem responded in Pavlovian fashion. There are far fewer cases, batteries, and other accessories for the 5C than for the 5 or 5S. This is in spite of the fact that the 5C is actually one of the best phones that Apple has ever made; it fits nicely in the hand, antenna efficiency is superb, and the LTE throughput is superb.Anyway, after my last case fell apart, I found this Aduro case. It fits well, the kickstand is useful (a bit stiff, but better that than too loose), and the price is right. The belt clip feels a bit flimsy, but it's holding up quite well, and at this kind of price I can afford to buy a spare Aduro and still come out ahead of the others.Recommended.

The Aduro iPhone 5c case and holster do not work together. The case only protects the sides and back of the phone leaving the ends and corners of the phone exposed; if the phone is dropped, the case will not provide any protection if it falls on a corner or end. The case is comfortable to hold, but the kick stand is not practical as it requires two hands and leverage to open and close. I am wondering how long it will take for the kickstand to break. The holster has a back clip which from experience with similar clips will not last very long especially if you are putting it on and removing it several times a day. Since the phone and case fit in the holster so tightly, it is difficult to get the phone/case out of the holster to answer the phone or use the phone. I ended up having the remove both holster and phone/case from my belt and then I struggled to get the case and holster separated. Of course I missed the phone calls, had to return the calls. I then had to decide was it worth the hassle or just leave the case on and put the phone in my pocket. After several attempts to use the holster and case together with no success, the holster is sitting on my desk and I have ordered a new case that will completely protect the entire phone if dropped (not just the back and sides like this one does). I also ordered a separate holder which is supposed to work with the phone and protective case. We will wait and see.

This is a high quality product. You can tell as soon as you touch it. The holster is handy to clip on your belt and slides in and out easily and I even go jogging with it clock to my shorts without issues. The case works just as well but it is a bit heavy mainly because of the retractable stand on the back which I have not used once so far. If there is a version without the stand, it can probably be lighter and slightly thinner on the back of the case. Completely satisfied for its quality and value. Would recommend and buy this brand of phone case again for sure.That was April 2015. Now Nov 3. The holster is now cracked on both sides where it bends and flexes each time you insert and remove from the holster. I was afraid this may happen and it did so I will contact Aduro support to see how they respond. Also they could have made the stopper at the bottom of the belt clip smother - it is very sharp and scratch your nice belt. Overall, I like it but wish it would not crack though.
