Wondering if anyone knew if there was any kickstand cases for the Nexus One on the market.
When I had my HD2 I found it to be convenient to say the least.
Body Glove
The only case I know of with a kick-stand function is the Body Glove case see my thread here.
I did some research as well and wasnt able to turn up any that fits my specific needs either (low profile, built into the case rather than detachable).
I guess this'll do in the meanwhile.
Thanks for the reply man.
Yea unfortunately the only thing I found to be a replacement to a built in kickstand w/o being part of some extended battery or cover case is a Crabble stand. You can get em on Ebay for $7 and they are foldable to fit in ur wallet. It works rly well.

I am looking for a good holster that will hold the Nexus One while it has a case on. I have a transparent TPU case (have to show off the sexy engraving on the back). Does anyone have a recommended case that can hold or adjust to the nexus one while it has the added bulk of a case on it?
I am looking for something like the Seidio Innocase Case Holster which is here on Amazon.
If you check out down in the review area there is a video and a guy reviewed it and it seems to fit the Innocase inside the holster pretty well. Didn't look like it would fall out.
Anyone have any experience or suggestions with this? Let me know. Thanks.
EDIT: I actually just discovered that there are 2 versions of the Seidio Holsters; one for a device that does not have a case and one for a device that does have a case.
You can check out a good Youtube review of the Holster and Innocase here.
You can see that there is a special version of the holster here on Seidio's website.

IMO holsters = dropped phone... Either the phone pops out on its own, or gets bumped...
My thing is that I've had the dust under the screen problem so I wanted to get it out of my pocket. It does raise the risk of a drop though, this is true. Who wants to drop a $530 phone.

Oh, I use horizontal cases, have for years. Never dropped a phone from one, just of course you gotta be mindful when you're putting it in, taking it out.. And personally I always get them with a belt clip (to keep it in place on my belt) and belt loops. One case I had didn't have belt loops and I was always finding the phone in my car seat where it pushed off my belt.
I recently ordered this case... Hopefully coming in the next day or two. Otherwise I have some cheap cases which work, or my beat-to-hell Seideo case.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IM61D4/ref=oss_product
Only time I ever pocket carry a phone is when I have a new phone and I'm transitioning between the two, or sometimes on the weekend when I'm just lazing around the house.
I use a nite ize heavy duty holster. Size medium. It fits my otterbox defender and casemate tough case NP.
I use a cellet bergamo iPhone belt clip / holster nice and snug on my innocase 2

Im looking into purchasing a leather case, but im curious if the magnet in the case can have any effect on the phone? Especially the ones in the cheap cases.
like this one... ( i cant post link)
so type
Leather Case Skin for Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G Sprint in the ebay search box and it should come up.
If anyone has any recommendations for other leather cases please let me know. Also feel free to share your experiences with leather cases.
Thank You

Havent had a problem, use a leather magnetic case from eddie bauer that I found at Best Buy mobile.
Does anybody have or use the Seidio leather case for the epic? Just wondering how well it fits the phone or how well the phone slides in and out of it. Also how easily can the magnet be clamped and unclamped while not looking at it.
I bought the bestsources (seller's name, not necessarily a description, though I've had good experiences with them ) case -- I had one for my Touch Pro, one for my N900, and now one for my Epic when it gets here.
In the meantime, I'm using the N900's case for it. Fitting, since I usually used the Touch Pro's case for the N900... :/ I wonder if I'm even going to use the Epic's case.
The magnet hasn't caused any problems at all with the Epic that I've noticed.

The leather case is designed to fit a bare device so it will slide in/out smoothly, The magnet is pretty strong but works fluently with the case.
The magnet does not affect the phone.
I bought a leather holster at the Sprint store today actually.
It has a magnet, but it is not near as strong as some of the ones I have had in the past, but it still holds the flap strong against the case.
This particular case even has the Galaxy S logo etched into the metal in the middle of the flap - yeah its sexy.
$34 at Sprint, and since its Galaxy S Branded, I think it's a good deal.
Has anyone tried the Body Glove case with kickstand? I can't post the link as a new user but it can be found on the Bodyglove.com website under Mobile and Epic 4G. I would really like a case with an integrated kickstand (one thing I still envy the EVO for). I've got the Sprint case just to keep my Epic protected, but I would like a higher quality product.
I'm not sure I'm a fan of the textured case, and it's a little pricey at $29.99. Hoping someone who has it can give me their take on whether it was a good buy.
looks like the kickstand is in the clip, not the case. They sell the clip seperate for 4.95, I wonder if it will fit on other cases? Anyone own one that can check it out?

Thank you luis12285 for providing the link.
That looks like a nice case and the belt-clip/stand is sorta innovative combo. I'd really be interested to see if anyone else has used one or had their hands on one. I ordered the Body Glove case for my wife from Sprint.com accessories, but don't think its this model with the belt clip and kickstand.
Thanks for sharing this guys! Wasn't aware of it and definitely interested!
Looks interesting, but body glove cases for other phones I've handled in store are on the bulky side, and this one appears to be the same comparing the photos online to my sprint case.
I got the Body Glove case from Sprint Accessories and was really disappointed with the quality of construction. Sending it back. Went to to Best Buy and got the Platinum "quick clip" case with swivel holster. Keeps the screen safe against a felt lined holster. A little bulky, but better than scratching my baby!
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...07487&st=platinum case&cp=1&lp=8#BVRRWidgetID
Yeah I wouldnt go with the "Body Glove" on such a high end prestigious phone. I work in a foundry and have a Nokia 5800 (or something along those lines, crappy little flat phone.) that i use there because of all the sand/heat/oil that i'm around at work. I wouldn't dare expose my epic to sand/metal shavings! So I take the Nokia. It had a body glove on it.
The case lasted a few good months and then started to fall apart. Peices of connecting clips broke, leaving it floppy on one side of the phone, the "grip" stuff on the back of the phone is very grippy and feels nice, but unfortunatly it too peels off and away after a while. It's a very neat design of a case, but it just dosen't hold up. Just my 2 cents.
I've currently got the Defender but it's WAY too thick and the front bezel part is in the way too much.
In the past I've just used a basic slim TPU or similar case coupled with a vertical slide in holster. My problem has been finding a holster that is big enough to fit the phone with the slight bulk added by the cases I know of. Any thoughts?
I never drop my phones and they always look brand new when I sell them a year later, so the defender is way overkill for me...anyone interested in it because I'll be selling it when I find something new.
Casemate barely there. You can thank me later..

Qmadix makes a slim case/holster combo. Should be perfect for you.

That looks pretty good, although it doesn't look like the camera portion is thick enough to protect the camera at all, even by a millimeter. Do you have one? Does it offer any protection at all?
I've been using the Otterbox commuter case with the Platinum holster from Best Buy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990032

Ok, so I got one anyway and the answer is NO, it doesn't protect the camera at all. The Camera bezel is perfectly flush with the case. That being said, it's the only real negative about it. It's SUPER easy to take off if you want to go naked for some reason, the holster works great and the case itself provides just enough grip and heft to make it easy to hang onto.
I'd say about a 8/10...
anyone want a lightly used Defender?
I use the Seidio Innocase but it might be too bulky for you as well :\
I'm searching for a holster/pouch/belt clip for my phone. It's not to protect the phone, but the headset instead. I always go around with the headset connected and eventually they go bad, possibly because my phone is always in my pocket and the cord gets alot of twisting. I'm now on my fourth headset since buying the phone last December, and think that to protect them better I need to wear the phone outside...
My phone already has a fishbone case, so the accessory has to be large enough to fit it. I also want the ports to be easily accessible, so the headset doesn't have to be disconnected when I take the phone out, and possibly so I can charge the battery on the go with my power bank. I've seen some possibilities, but they're typically too small to accompdate my existing case, or the clips come with cases themselves and probably wouldn't properly fit mine. So I'm seeking some advice to find a suitable clip/holster.

Hello I am wondering if anyone knows of a good quality horizontal belt holder that works with the g5 and allows for a case? My case is not very thick but I would not call it slim either.
To give you an idea of what I mean by good quality I want it to be leather and the last one that I had was actually fake leather and the support was cardboard. That one got decent ratings on Amazon for quality but when it fell apart it became clear that it was not good.
I use this belt clip on my V10 since I was unable to to find a holster for it. It works great! and it fits the G5.

I also use the Seideio LGG4 Cased jholsteras well

I never used one of those, but every case or holder with a plastic clip I have had has broken within 3 months. I am not sure I want to spend that money on something that my experience indicates would probably not last very long.
I almost forgot that in previous experience I have had problems with clips like that causing the phone to fall every time I get out of my car and I noticed a few reviews mentioning that on that clip as well. Seems like a bit of a risk to me.
Found this thread and the suggestion by @shaun0207 and figured I'd give it whirl! Thanks for that!
I have the Otterbox Defender (too damn bulky), the Evocel holster/clip (too flimsy and difficult to remove from belt clip) and now am going to try the Spigen walletcase in conjunction with the mophie universal clip
I'll let you guys know how it works out

Great! I have been seriously considering just getting the few tools and some materials and just making my own since it seems very hard to find ones that are well made. If I do I would basically have a thick, stiff leather back (I have a good sized piece of lace leather that I think would work well for that), a couple of belt loops either made from that same thick leather or a slightly thinner more flexible leather, then a soft leather for the rest of the holder with a flap for closing and probably just some cheap magnets hidden within for holding it closed. Should be pretty simple to put together (though there would likely be some trial and error involved).

I only had it come out of the clip once and it was in the car. If you can, check it out in Best Buy. It really holds the phone well.
