Marware’s Sidewinder case for the iPhone is the Swiss Army knife of cases. First of all it’s a low-profile holster. The reversible-mounting holster lets you carry the iPhone face out for visibility or face in for maximum protection. I like the concept of a retractable management system and a slot for the Apple branded Bluetooth headset, but there’s a certain level of nerdiness that even I cannot reach. I’ll stick with the case on its own, for now!
The rubberized exterior gives the Sidewinder a nice touch and feel while keeping the case extremely durable. The interior is rubber-lined to help prevent your iPhone from getting scratched up.

It comes with a removable 360-degrees rotating ratchet belt clip. If you don’t mind this type of clip, then it’s perfect for you. However, for me it’s slightly thicker than I like, causing the iPhone to stick out away from my hip too much. On the plus side, you can position the case vertically or horizontally, simply by rotating it, and I can see that the flexibility might make the Sidewinder a winner.
Marware have handily included a clear protection film that covers the entire face of the iPhone, as well as a microfiber cleaning cloth. All this for only $24.95!

This looks like a great concept, but I’d be really afraid the Apple Bluetooth headset would drop off (what a way to lose a really expensive headset).
did you try to flip the face of the iPhone the other way so as to protect the surface. Did it fit that way in the clip?
nevermind – I should read your post more carefully. You already answered my question. Sorry!
Oh my god. This would have me branded as the biggest geek in the world. My girlfriend couldn’t stand my bat belt to begin with never mind with that. lol.
