I will never order online from Blackberry again!

Due to some unfortunate circumstances I lost my original 8700G Plastic Swivel Holster. I knew I could very easily get a universal holster from my job for around 8 bucks. But I want the original one. No substitutes.

So I go online Friday and order the "BlackBerry 8700g Plastic Swivel Holster, Black". I paid $14.99 for the hoslter and an additional $19.76 for FedEx Expedited 1-2 day shipping. Today is Wednesday, and I have not recieved my holster. Meanwhile my phone is sitting in my pants pocket taking up space, and getting scratched.

So I call RIM today and ask them what the deal is. The rep on the phone says "this is weird, there's no tracking number attached to your order. It looks like it hasn't even gone out yet." At this point I'm mad, but the situation is still salvageable. So I go "why hasn't it been shipped, what's the hold up? I paid extra for the shipping so I could get it sooner." So then he does some more research and asks what I oredered. So I told him "the plastic swivel holster for the 8700g". He then proceeds to tell me that they do not have that product. Which is odd to me b/c my reciept tells me that's exactly what I ordered. Not to mention I'm not an idiot and know what I oredered. Then he asks what site I went to, and told him it was the official shopblackberrry site. So I get on the site and lo and behold the item is suddenly non existant.

So at this point I wanted to reach through the phone and choke him. I kept my cool and just asked for a refund. But now I have no holster still.

How could this have happened? And does anyone know where I can get the original RIM 8700g plastic swivel clip? I really need one.

I know it's not what you're looking for but really the OEM holster blows.

Upgrade to the Seidio swivel holster for the g. You'll be much happier.

Never had any problems with the shopblackberry site.

As far as holsters go, I have the Blackberry leather swivel holster for my 8700g. I really like it. It's lined with a nice soft suede. I was afraid the new flap on top would be a snap or velcro or something, but it's held in place with a magnet. Keeps the back of my 8700 from getting dinged as I walk around things. They make a pouch which is the same thing as the holster without the belt clip.

I checked it out. It looks like the closest to the original thing that I can find. What's with the clip at the top though?

I reviewed the holster here:

The clip on top keeps the Blackberry in the holster which is more than I can about the OEM one.

Well after I ordered from Seidio I got an email around 11pm saying that my order had been shipped from RIM and I got my clip in the mail today. So now I have to call Seidio and cancel!
