Review:
This case has been discussed in here before, these are just my thoughts. Here is a previous review:

Unfortunately, this is a case that has great potential, but just does not live up to it. The slim design and affixed ratcheting belt clip are nice, as is the sleek design. But the lack of proper sleeper magnet, coupled with the difficulty in removing the BB when on belt make this case average, at best.

Rating: I give these cases 2 out of 5 Berries.




Conclusion: This case has a few flaws that, if addressed and fixed, could make it a contender. But as-is, it falls short of a nice carry solution for a BB.

Pros: Stylish, sleek, decent belt clip, inexpensive.

Cons: No sleeper magnet in proper place, difficult to remove, belt clip has too much play in it and is not very strong.

Just wanted to say that my case works perfectly!

When you insert your device into this case, it goes to sleep, every time? I don't see how. Especially since the three that I know of all have the same problem. I guess you got the exception to the rule! Congrats...

Yeap, mine shuts off every time. After reading your review, i was kinda mad that i had already purchased this useless case, but to my surprise, it works! And it looks good too. Don't know what to say...

You suck! Just kidding, I'm just jealous. I love the look of my Milante case and it is the perfect size but the fact that the sleeper magnet does not work just drives me up the wall!

I hope that Milante gets this problem fixed for future purchasers.

I hope so too. I just bought another one for my girl and I hate to say this, but her's works too. Interesting....
