Blackberry phones: what does "in holster" mean?

Question

In all the settings for my profile, there is a distinction between the noise makes when a text (for example) comes in "out of holster" and when it comes in "in holster." Does this just mean that if the phone is not currently being used, it's considered "in holster"? Thanks

no. the holster is a case you can buy for it. It usually has some magnetic thing inside to trigger your blackberry to know it's in the case.
