Read More I have laways been happy with Nite Ize products, and this seemed to fit my needs, so I picked a couple up. One went on my multitool, and one went on the back of my cell phone case. The Hipclip on my multitool is PERFECT! Not that it is supposed to perform some amazing feat, but it does work just as advertised. The Multitool is a Gerber Balance which doesn't come with a belt sheath, and when I dropped it in my pocket, it felt like I had a 10 pound weight in there. Now with the Hipclip, it has made an ok multitool great in my opnion. Performance on my cell phone case is good, but not great. To clarify, I believe this is only because it is on a rubber case. The case (also a Nite Ize) is rubber (or rubber like) product which has some give in it. Several times, when trying to clip the case in my pocket, the clip has caught on the bit of metal that extends past the adhesive. This causes the clip to start to pull away from the case. After doing this a few times, I just have to make surethat Itry and open up the clip some before sliding it in my pocket. I guess the up side is that the clip is tight enough that I would never have to worry about it accidentally pulling off. To be fair, the directions say that the adhesive works best on a hard surface. Since the ribber has some give, I believe this is why the adhesive has given me a couple issues. All in all, a great product for a great price. Time to get one for my other multitool.

Read More Good product. However, two issues make this a no-go for me. The first was that as shown to be used, it places your phone conveniently within reach of pickpockets and other nefarious individuals. The clip isn't strong enough to prevent it from being easily taken. The next issue I had and ultimately cause the thing to be tossed out was the weakness of the clip. While returning the phone, it accidently caught on my belt and the clip opened, and would remain open no matter how I tried to rebend it with pliers. Rebending it only caused it to bow out and cause all kinds of problems. So yeah, I wouldn't get it again.
