I have a Best Buy Platnium Case and would like to get a Leather Holster. - Epic 4G Accessories

For work purposes, I wold like to have a leather holster that can accommodate my Epic that has a Best Buy platinum case. Thanks!

I've also been searching for a side pouch/case that will hold my Epic with a case on it, but I haven't had any luck. I have the $20 Sprint Protective cover on my Epic.

Just as an fyi the best buy case is nothing but a seido case. While I can't specifically help you anything forthe seido case will work for the best buy case.

I haven't been able to find one that will fit. Why not just buy a leather case for work and take off your platinum case? This is just my preference, but on days when I need a more "professional" look at work, I take my hard case off and use the Samsung Galaxy S leather case with my naked Epic (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-OCTSBLNBBCC). Then when I have those days when Im doing something more physical and need better protection the hardcase goes back on. In my opinion, the Epic looks better naked anyways.

I have the Galaxy S leather case and be warned the epic fits very snuggly in it. Heck that link in the post above mine, I typed in epic 4g to test compatibility with the case and they say the epic is not compatible with that case (even though sprint is pushing it). It is to the point where I am thinking about trying the seidio leather case to see if it fits better. I am kinda worried because the seidio case seems like it might be a generic case not specifically cut for our phone.
So yea, I have the leather galaxy s case and I am still looking for a better leather hip holster solution.

I'm with Masterface - same situation. Epic is VERY snug in Galaxy S case and makes it difficult to pull out easily sometimes.
Anyone find a good working leather case? I really miss my blackberry case where you slide the phone in bottom first, lets you grip on each side to get it in and out.
If one doesn't come up soon I may go for the Body Glove belt-clip/swivel/stand/case. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827717

Holster that will fit Nexus one with case on?

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

[Q] Leather Cases

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.

[Q] Best Rugged Case/Holster

I'm about to purchase an HTC Desire, and I'm shopping for a good case/holster so I'm ready to go once I get the new phone (just waiting on the contract to expire)...
I work in a manufacturing plant, and I'm pretty rough on phones. I typically carry them horizontally on my belt, and I'm looking for something similar. However, I want something that will protect as much as possible as it get bumped on equipment, conveyor, etc. Screen-in is a must, obviously. I'd really like something that protects the phone all the time, and then some sort of holster that holds the phone with the protection.
The best thing I've found is a Innocase Rugged Combo, but it's only available for the Nexus One, and won't fit the desire...
Something similar I've found is a snap-on hard case combo but I haven't found any reviews. It's a hard cover and a clip-type holster together from Techie Warehouse (mfg unknown).
Then there are clip-type holsters like the Amzer Rubberized holster.
Or leather holsters like the MobiMan Premium.
Then, I've always got the option to make something. My best friend makes leather and kydex holsters, so I'm tempted to make my own holster like the leather or clip one. I would just keep the phone in armor like the Case-Mate Barely There, Case-Mate Tough, or PDair Aluminum Case within the holster I make.
What do you guys think? Any experience with any of these, especially the Techie hard combo case? Thanks,
Danny
Have you had a peek at the OtterBox line of cases? They are pretty tough, especially the Defender. The Desire cases are at http://www.otterbox.com/desire-cases/desire-cases,default,sc.html. Only the Defender has a belt clip, and it's made to fit the case. Someone else on XDA had one, and they dropped their Desire down a set of stairs, and it hit a wall and then the ground, and the case was undamaged, and so was the phone.
Just quickly, and off topic, but welcome to xda-developers, shorin!
Yes, I looked at the Otterbox cases. They look very nice, but they just don't quite meet my needs.
The Defender does have a belt clip, but it places the screen out. I'd break the screen in a day with that...
I have considered the Commuter if I make my own holster.
Thanks for the welcome. I've been on here quite a while. Just never needed to post until now...
Thanks,
Danny
It looks like the Otterbox Defender may be the ticket. I did some looking again, and I didn't see any reason the phone wouldn't fit with the screen in.
I found a review on YouTube that confirms this and I also asked the question via the Q&A on the Otterbox website and they confirmed that the holster will work screen-in.
Problem solved...
Danny
No problem!

Just a lily note. I personally use the otterbox defender. It fits the holder screen in or out. And my opinion the best protection money can buy.

Galaxy Nexus Surface Holster = Perfect Fit

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-HLSSGNLASC-Surface-Holster-Samsung/dp/B006H4DE8S/ref=sr_1_7?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1353010277&sr=1-7&keywords=seidio+spring+clip+nexus
Perfect fit for our naked Nexus 4, as I'm rocking one right now.
Interesting -- the N4 is just enough bigger than the GNex to fill up the room that would be occupied by the Surface case, eh? If I hadn't already bought a belt holster, I might well have been interested; I had a Seidio belt clip for my N1 and liked it a lot.. Can you post a photo or two of the phone in the holster? Let us know how it does, i.e., if you have any accidents where the phone springs out accidentally or the like.

I will try to put up some pics tonight..... it honestly fits like a glove inside.... its not going anywhere once inside.
This is great, although by the time my N4 arrives my chinese s cases chould be here. I hope more people report what non N$ cases fit though.
This could be a good option...

for those interested, I just received this case in hopes of using it with the nexus4 like the op claims...
it does NOT fit. the holster is much too large for the naked phone
You're right, I really screwed up. I'm terribly sorry.
I have a lot of holsters, and must have confused myself.
I just checked, and it looks like the HTC Sensation Seidio Holster fits the Nexus 4 perfectly, but the Sensation Surface Holster, not the naked.
Really sorry, and hope you can resolve this. Feel terrible.

Tested with my Active holster for my HTC Sensation and works well with it naked. But not to be a buzzkill, but I do not want my N4 naked in the holster. I have dropped my sensation from this very holster with cases on. I am going to get the Galaxy Nexus Surface holster to see if it fits with a tpu case on or not.

I am getting the Surface holster for the gnex-at the office waiting for me tomorrow am. Anyone know if it'll fit with a tpu case on yet?
Seidio has Surface and Active cases with kickstands that are in development right now in addition to a holster that will work with them both. They don't come cheap though. I have used their products on a number of my phones and I have to say that they are worth every penny. Very protective, the fit is awesome and they even make charging stations that work with the cases on. I reckon by the time I actually get my phone, the Seidio cases will be available.
I'm using my seido active holster (90% sure it is the active holster, the one with a rubber and hard plastic parts for the phone) with my N4 with a tpu case on it and the holster fits almost perfect.

I have the Seidio Surface one for the Gnex and it doesn't fit with a tpu case on. It's a little loose with the N4 naked, but that's a no go for me.
Just an update. I am getting the Diztronic Ultra Thin One Piece Hard Shell case as well to see if it will fit the Surface holster. Will report back next week or whenever I get it in.
Here is the linkage to the 'thinner' case. Keep in mind it doesn't cover the bottom or top of the phone. Alas the some of the "thinner" aspects of the case. Remember to use XDA for a promo coupon code if you haven't done so yet. The code can only be used once,and I already used it on my other TPU lol.

I think I'll be picking up one of the Seidio Surface/Holster combos when they're released. The Nexus 4 is an awesome looking phone, but the back is so slick it ends up sliding away on it's own. This also seems to be one of the only ways to get a good holster for the phone.

Looking for stand alone holster suggestions.

There's a few times in the past where I have used different cases that I really liked with a holster since there was not a matching holster with the case.
Looks like I'm going to run in the same situation here and was wondering if anybody had a good line of holster vertical or horizontal that they would recommend.
I'd prefer something with a rotating belt clip on it.
Thank you.
Pouch with a belt clip? So like an old Blackberry one? I have a pouch from Begoos on Etsy and its great, but it doesn't have a belt clip.
Not sure exactly what you are looking for but here is one I bought..... I posted it in a thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/dragonfly-universal-nylon-mobile-phone-t3289056
Search in Etsy. They have plenty of handmade pouches.
I should have said Holster I guess, but I figured folks would point me to case/holster combos. You know, like this...
http://www.amazon.com/TMAN-Leather-holster-Huawei-itself/dp/B0160LAOTO/
Sorry for the confusion, was a crazy night, let me update the OP.
Bump
This is the case/holster combo i use. Not the leather-y pouch like you linked, but i'm more of a fan of something more solid protecting the phone.

Thanks, I've sworn off of Seidio though. Cheap holsters that the clips break off of all the time, horrible customer service, and other issues I've had with them. I've found some excellent cases for the 6P, just need a holster to put it in. The TUDIA OMNIX is the one I'm trying to find a holster to fit right now.
Here's another one,: Encased Spring Holster.
Not sure on the quality, but I do highly recommend Seidio products though.

That looks very interesting. I did buy the Seidio one similar to that one for my Nexus 6P though . I bought the one for the iPhone 6 Plus. The fit wasn't perfect but very close. I stopped using it after my phone popped out once. The clip also cracked the top of my IntelliArmor TGSP.

That's interesting. I've been using the Seidio surface holster made for the iCrap 6+ with the Nillkin Nature case without any issues or the device popping out. The clip is flat on top of the device and not at an angle suggesting the device is too tall for the holster.

I'd never use Seidio products again. Terrible customer service/support, and the clips for the holsters break like candy.
I believe this Encased one is only for naked phones though.

This is great! i was looking for one of these when i got my phone when it launched. Gave up on looking for one after a couple weeks though. Just placed an order for this one. Thanks!!!
I broke the holster to my case when it got caught on a chair and broke the left side support. The holster is the type where the phone slides in vertically bottom to top. I don't like the type where the phone snaps into the holster or leather pouches.
Does anyone know if you can buy the holster ONLY - NO CASE for the nexus 6p?
I need a holster cover with swivel clip. I don’t care if it is made by same manufacturer as my current generic soft lining and hard plastic shell case. I have searched ebay, amazon and other sites in google but could only find replacement holsters if I buy another case. I have four different cases already so I am sure I can find one to fit the holster.
I have checked out options in this thread but checking if there are other ideas.

I have the same Nillkin case - is the Seidio holster you're using the one for an "uncased" iphone 6+ (http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Spring-Clip-Holster-Non-Cased-iPhone/dp/B00OBWMSBW) or did it come with the iphone 6+ case? Thanks in advance

Using the Seidio surface case holster.
Ditto on Seidio holsters breaking. I had theirs for my previous phone and wouldn't recommend it. Their design is flawed. I had an encased holster for my S6 and it worked really well. Design was probably one of the better.
Bump. I'm looking for something similar. Problem is that most of the pouches I find online are cheap and will eventually tear or break somehow.
