Hi all!
I just got my t 68 and am bummed about the lack of holsters for the phone.
I am leaning towards carring it horizantally.
Here are the holsters I've found so far;

I sure like the idea of the Slim case ICT-13. Looks like it has moderate protection for the screen and keys. Being plastic it should offer fast removal. Might not even need to lock it...
Any input on any of these?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi.
I got the ICT-13-holster for T68, and what can I say... I think it's a great holster! Easy to lock and unlock, great "futuristic" design, have not seen anything like this before
So if you are going to buy a holster, I can recommend the ICT-13!!! Have not tried the other ones you mentioned, so I can't say anything about those.

I use an ICT-13 and like it very much. There is no need to lock the keypad as the clip part of the holster holds the phone at a distance. The screen faces toward your body when wearing it, so there is pretty good protection there. It also looks very cool!

Yeah, ICT-13 is a good choice.
It also protects your battery.

The ICT-13 is definitely a wise choice for your T68.

The ICT-13 is a brilliant piece of design work it is functional and good looking. One small complaint though is that it doesn't hold tightly enough to my belt when I remove my phone from the belt clip, also I get kinda worried about it getting knocked off my belt in crowded places so I have to keep checking that my phones still there all the time

The ICT-13 is the one for me too.
It works really well and the vibration works through your belt a treat.
Posted by mhorton
Cool that's what I need.
Posted by lesneo
Anyone knows where may I get one in Singapore?
My only complain about it is that I will have to constantly remove it from the holster when I go into my car so that I can fit it into my HCH-28 car holder. Nonetheless, it is the best choice for holding my T68 thus far...

I'd totally agreee with sin187. While the ICT-13 is a brilliant piece of design, it's major flaw is that the belt clip does not hold the phone securely to the belt or pants. It can get rather unnerving at times in large crowds or when occassions such as bending down or sitting occurs. Ypu'd have to feel your holster to make sure it's still there. Dropped my phone twice because of this. Classic cases lke the T28 and R320/520's are SooOOoo much more secure!
Cheers

I have a ICT-11 leather holder. It holds it horizontal and has notches so I can have the hands-free ear bud plugged in and case closed. It protects it quite well and is easy to get in and out from.
I have even wacked it off my belt and it has bounced around and not a scratch.

nice ones

I myself like the leather case style but hate the extra clip on the back of them that make it bulky since I usually just put the phone in my pocket. After looking at the pictures of the krussell.info phones, I really like how the classic style case phone looks like and ordered one from 3elimited.com.
From the pictures, it looks like the case is custom designed for many different models. The pluses by just looking at pictures of the case are, that it covers the whole phone with openings designed for the t68, the joystick, ir port, the slider, ear slots, and interface on the bottom. Unlike most leather cases this one has a completely clear front so you can see how BLING BLING this phone is. I've found that if I don't have a leather case on the phone, eventually the phone gets scratched up, scuffed up. If you've ever owned a phone for over a year you know what I mean.
What nice too is that this phone is designed to use many different types of belt clips. I decided to get the slide/swivel one. Even though I'll still mainly put the phone in my pocket, i'll once in a while put on the belt clip attachment and be able to show off my bling bling phone.
If you wanna get a closer look here's the link below. When you get to the page go to the right and click on the t68, you'll get a nice closeup shot for the case.

The case is kinda pricey, almost $30 after shipping probably. I did get a leather on ebay for like 10 bucks but it's not as nice as the krussell.info.
Well my 2 cent review.
Peace

Personally I think it looks silly using a holster (sorry but it's my opinion) and if it wasn't for the fact that I really care about this expensive piece of phone, I wouldn't be a satisfied user of the Samsonite holster (case model no. 1 fits like a glove for my T68 when I travel).
Posted by spiro77
anyone know where i can find the samsonite holster shipped to the US?
Posted by lor
what's wrong with you fools? just get the damnn ict-13
why the hell would you want a samsonite holster?
or whatever
Posted by alanranch
ICT 13 is pretty good..but u gotta remember it scratches the lower part of ur t68 due to the way its places. The best is still the leather case..if u cant buy in the UK just go to an ericsson store and get the ICT-11 its for t39 but works well with t68.!!!!
Posted by sooty
Just get the ict-13. Probably the best designed holster ever !
Posted by JasonDeFaoite
Booker ... That Krussell case, damn ugly. I actually bought one in Singapore (cost S$15), but the quality left a lot to be desired. Quite poor in fact. I didn't want a ICT-13 coz personally I don't really like the look of it and I do feel it may not offer the best protection for my little T68. Eventually got an ICT-14 and very happy. This holster rocks! Although its for the T65, fits T68 perfectly.
Posted by oneeyejack
is this the front of the ICT-14 holster?? anyone have pics of the back?
Posted by Booker
Hey that's a nice case, even tho it looks like you have to like open the thing up and pull the phone out.
Where do they sell these?

the best holster for the t68 is the ICT-13, it's for hooking the phone to ya belt or whatever. it's not supposed to really protect your phone.
no phone holster can protect ya phone, heh

Got an ICT13 on order. Bit worried after reading these posts that it wont be secure!? Is it really that bad? Also i hope it does offer some degree of protection or i may as well keep my phone in my pocket with all my loose change and crap. I prefer to have no holster but i want to look after this phone. Ed

It's quite secure, but mine has hit the ground once because of the ICT-13. I loosend from my belt when I got out of my car once, but no damage at all that I could see. It's a good case, and secure most of the time, but it doesn't protect the display and buttons on your phone, only the back and sides are protected. When it's in the belt holster, it is protected though, since the phone faces your belt then.
Posted by Monster
I used the IC-13 until my brief case on my shoulder knocked it off the belt and it droped to the ground. I scratched it a little. I think it looks cool but it can come off if your not careful.
Posted by randyrivera
ict-14 is better
Posted by Jowi
you have a hard time attaching accessories @ the bottom of the t68 coz ict14 is somewhat like ict10(for t39)..the bottom part is half closed
Posted by ArtsyFartsy
This is the case I have. It is designed VERY well, except, because of the zipper closure, you cannot plug any accessories in on the bottom while it's in this case. I use Bluetooth, so that doesn't bother me.
