Defender Holster.
The holster, while has it's ware issues, when coupled with the defender case provides the highest level of protection for the Iphone.

iPhone 17Pro Defender Case & Holster
Very satisfied. I drop my phone A LOT. I have not had any problem with the defender style cases. They are the only cases I’ve ever used, since I started using iPhones (6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 17).

My dad loves it!
It is a great sturdy holster that can handle all the daily abuse and securely holds the phone and keeps your pockets free.

I liked it in general. If a phone can sit in a holster but allow a user take a photo without having to remove it from a holster first, it will provide more convenience.

The holster isn't as good as previous versions.
I've owned defender cases for years. On my previous iPhone 11 I owned three cases over the years. I needed two holsters over that time. They were made better than this one. My iPhone 17 is larger and therefore the holster is larger, but you probably used the same amount of plastic. Also, I had to order the case and wait, then once I got that I had to order the hols...

Durable
Durable product but not that practical for someone who does not wear pants often to clip to pant loops. You can attach to a purse strap but it will add weight to your purse.
