this clip has been nothing but trouble for me, i love the innocase 2 i purchased, it has protected it from 2 falls, however the drops were caused by the clip!. the clip didnt have a firm hold on my phone and caused 2 drops on cement, and today the clip itself broke off. i dont know wether it is a manufacturing defect or just weak plastic that caused my problems, but i trashed it. was definately not worth the 20$ and the scratches on my case and chip on my screen casued by it, any other clip owners have any input?
I am confused. I have a Innocase II Surface which is a case. Cannot see how its clip could break. Are you perhaps talking about a Innocase holster?
Give this case a try, I love it!

Just got my replacement XDAIIi phone from O2 insurance because mine kept on falling off my belt or the belt clip kept on releasing the phone and so it would drop and get damaged.
Well my new one, although the case and clip are both new, still fell off my belt again today, fortuneatly it did not get damaged.
Can you tell me where to start looking for a better XDAII case and belt clips please?
i use this one i like it

I'm looking for case for my Epic and also a holster that will hold the phone with the case attached. I tried to do this with my HTC Arrive but the case made the phone so bulky that I could barely squeeze it into my belt holster and then the magnetic cover would hardly close.
Is there any case + holster combo that I can purchase or at least a holster with enough room to hold the Epic with a case attached?
I really liike the Seidio Active X case but I'm afraid it will make the phone too thick for most if not all holsters other than the Seidio snap on holster.
I was also looking at these two Amazon items but don't know if they really would go well together:
I can't post links but these two are from Amazon.
Premium-Crystal-Rubberized-Snap-Samsung
Horizontal-Leather-Samsung-Magnetic-Closing
Any suggestions?
Seidio has a combo that comes with a holster and case.
platinum case and clip
Best Buy has a case made by platinum. great case and holster as well. case does good job of protecting the phone.
Thank you for the responses. I saw both and for the holster, is there one that is not a phone clip-on holster, rather more like the leather holsters where the phone resides inside and there is a magnetic lock to hold the opening closed?
I might just go for the Seidio Active X case/holster combo if I can't find another option.
Try this maybe?

Thanks. Looks like I was a little late to the party. Went to purchase the case this morning and it was officially sold out.
i use the Seidio case/holster combo. i have the.. i think its called "active" one now (belt clip with a plastic and rubberized case on the phone. holds phone face in against your body). I previously used the "surface case" and holster combo. Both GREAT items (i still have the surface case, but due to something that was totally my fault the holster broke. not a reflection of the product quality. i love it).
my phone has the Seidio screen protector and Seidio "Active" case/holster. its been dropped SO many times. banged around daily. screen and softkeys are still scratch free. screen protector barely scratched (thats how durable it is. even in a pocket with keys or coins its still perfectly clear). phone still working great. LOVE the case. its a little expensive but well worth the investment to protect your superphone.

I think I'll purchase the Active X case and holster combo. Hopefully the phone will stay in the holster while at the gym. I saw a great review of the product in this forum and even though the price is a lot higher than I would like to pay, it seems like it is worth it.
For anyone who is up in the air between the top 2 rugged cases, the Kraken II is made much better for the Charge.
The belt clip on the holster for my Defender snapped the other day when it caught on the armrest of my chair so I went ahead and ordered a red Kraken II off of ebay since I had wanted to give one a try anyways. Got it today and everything about it is better. The holster holds the phone much more securely, the silicone is underneath the plastic so no more will it start coming off all the time like the Defender's did, and you can get it in colors . The level of dust protection is also a lot better thanks to mesh screens over the speaker and earpiece.
Hope this helps anyone deciding
Update 10/19!!!!
Forget everything I said above. I now hate Trident. Their plastic feels great and seems nice at first but is insanely cheap! A small piece next to the charger port broke off last night and this morning before I left for work I went to clip it onto my belt and when I went to squeeze the clip a little it snapped. Absolute junk. Thinking of just going to the standard Verizon case/holster combo and keeping it clipped inside my pocket at this point.
For what would you need such a case on this phone? I have dropped mine (naked) on concrete repeatedly with no harm (to the screen/internals).
I actually like the Defender better than the Kraken. I think it just looks better, sleek, and more stylish. The kraken does have color, but it looks cheap in my opinion. My family has the Defender case on all of our Droid Charge(s). No issues with them whatsoever. I just like having all around protection for my phone, although I have never dropped it (yet), I know it'll stay safe when I do.
I recently bought a Otterbox Defender Case. It definitley makes the phone much more bulky but I gues thats price for protection. I honestly am looking for reasons to take it off and put my old case back on but I fear that once I do I will drop my phone and it will shatter into a million pieces....hahaha. I n all honesty, it feels solid and indestructible now, my only complaint is its bulk and how lint kinda sticks to the rubber...I give it a 10/10 for purpose alone and a 7,8/10 in aestethics...

Mine dropped from ceiling level of a Lowe's retail building while up on power equipment once. Try that without one of these cases.
Also I would like to say that the way the belt holster is made on the Kraken saved my butt. I almost snapped it the first day I had it (in the exact same way I did the Defender holster) but the Kraken's holster is made with a detachable clip so instead of breaking it flew into 3 pieces that snapped right back together.

All OtterBox cases do the lint thing & it drives me nuts. The Incipio does the same thing.
I finally settled on the BodyGlove as it gives an awesome grip on the phone & does not attract link AT ALL.

updated first post. Forget everything, Trident is junk
Have you looked at the Otterbox Commuter for the charge?
Not as "industrial-strength" as the Defender, but extremely well made and it does a great job of protecting the phone while still leaving all buttons and slots/openings usab;e and/or easily accessible....
The holster is kinda important to me. Going to try the standard Verizon case/holster combo.
I am using the Verizon holster with a Casemate case. Works very well. Only thing I don't like about the holster is that the clip sticks up kind of high and will dig into your belly in certain positions. Might be a belly issue though LOL
I have Trident Kraken II case and I broke holster clip. Emailed Trident and they replaced clip within a couple days via mail.....good customer service.
Not sure which Otterbox case I have but this damn thing is tough as nails. I'm in the Army and this thing has taken a beating. I've dropped it out of a vehicle going 35 and nothing happened to it. Dropped it from about 10 feet up as well and nothing. I'll post pics as soon as I can so you guys know which one it is. I just know it's 3 pieces (2 plastic then the gummy like cover).

Sounds like the Defender. Built in solid screen protector right? The case itself rocks but the holster is too cheap.

No screen protector but it does have the holster. I need to get some pics uploaded because I have no idea which one it is lol.
I've not had any issues with the Trident case, itself, but I did have an issue with the belt clip breaking clear apart when I tried to take it off. Now I need to see if they offer any sort of warranty ala Otterbox...
Can you take the screen protector off the Kraken 2

It's glued in from the back, you can just punch it out with a couple firm thumb presses before you put the phone in.

I was gonna say singeing similar. After repeatedly dropping my phone from chest height onto the floor with only minor superficial scratches to the plastic.

Ok, going to by this phone for my wife as well as a case for it. Problem is, she drops her old phone like crazy and I've had to replace her cheap plastic case on it probably 6 times in the past 2 years.
So what is the most protective case for this phone vs. drops? I've tried looking around, but only see some cheap flimsy cases as well as the Otterbox Commuter. Anything else? Is the Otterbox a pretty protective case?
I like my Otterbox Commuter. I'd say of all the cases available (that I've seen) it will protect it the best.
With that said, I used to have an iPhone 4s with an Otterbox Defender case - and this commuter case does not come close to protecting as well as the Defender case. But, because of the sliding keyboard I'm not sure a Defender-style case would work.
Or at least put the same grippy rubber material on the Commuter case.... That's probably my biggest complaint with the Commuter case, it makes the device slippery instead of grippy.
Regardless, I don't think you'll find a more protective case than the Commuter.
Agreed, I dont think you will find a more protective case than the otterbox. That being said, I dropped my photon Q about 2 feet with the otterbox commuter and the clip on the corner of the screen protector broke so now plastic ring for the screen sits on there still but one corner is flimsy. I can see with more drops eventually the clips will all break and I will be forced to buy another otterbox. The price you pay I guess.

this... no joke either
Otterbox on the following devices (mine and family/friends):
HeroC, HD2, Evo3D, GalaxyNote, Photon Q, Droid 4, Evo Design, Galaxy Tab, and a few others I cant remember at the time but are mostly friends/family's, IE not mine personally, just helped them get their own

I purchased the Seidio Suface and the Surface holster, received a couple of days ago.
Initial thoughts is this case feels like cheap EBAY plastic shipped from China. The fit seems loose from the top section to the bottom section, case also makes crackling sounds when pushing on the sides of the phone. I am not impressed when holding this case on a call. It really does feel like it will fall apart at any second and my Note 4 will hit the ground.
I would like to know if this is just a problem with my case or if this is indeed how this case was produced.
Thanks
Mine fits like a glove. I love it. I like the feel of the plastic compared to the actual other really cheep Chinese plastics like the speigen. I couldn't stand the tough armor and the neo-hybrid didn't feel much better.
I guess you might have a bad unit, or it's a personal preference thing, I sure like mine though.
I just got mine and it fits perfectly. I like how it feels and it both looks and feels like a very high quality case. I still don't think it's worth $35 & freight but it is what it is. For that price at the very least Seidio should have included side rocker switch covers. As I mentioned on the other cases thread Best Buy sells the Surface as their Platinum Series for $20 less than Seidio and no freight charge. If you can wait until they get them in stock that's how to buy one.
I did not get the holster because the Surface uses a different holster than the Combo so I can't comment on the holster.

Every holster case I have bought, the dang belt clip would always break off when sitting down and bumping something. Has your clip broke off? Looking at this holster makes me really want it, but I would prefer to get a little more use than just a couple days.
Thanks!
My last 2 phones had holsters w/ clips and I used each for 2 years with no problems. My last phone had a BodyGlove ToughSuit case and the one before it had a BodyGlove case that was considerably less rugged than the ToughSuit and the clip was removable. Both of those cases are in as good of a condition today as they were when they were new.

i had the seidio surface with holster for the Note II. i liked the case, but the holster clip broke after a few months of use. seidio sent me a replacement and that also broke within months. hope they improved it on the Note 4 though.
The one siedio holster that I broke on a previous phone, was my own fault. Let's face it though, with the note 4, it's a big phone and you will likely need to be more careful with whatever you get to attach it to your belt, depending on your body type.
Short of a maxpedition magazine holster, I can't see anything else stand up to some of the things I have put mine through. Overall I am very satisfied with mine for the quick access and duability for the price.
