Ive looked around these threads, and haven't really found what I'm looking for. I've recently required a job at Best Buy, soon to be Best Buy mobile and I'm looking for a belt clip to hold my G2, in a otterbox case as well. Any ideas? Links? Thanks a lot!

I use a PDair Leather Holster when at work.
For my use, it is great. Not cheap ($30) but it is a very well built product. The stitching on the leather and the fit of the phone is perfect. The clip that attaches to the belt is very strong and tight, doesn't move around on me at all.

If you are going to use the Otterbox case AND a holster, I would suggest looking for a generic leather pouch designed for a phone that is slightly larger than the G2/DZ.
Canadian Best-Buy's have a pouch for the Desire Z...I don't know if US Best-buy's have the equivalent though. I'm guessing though, that it will be pretty hard to find a case that will fit the otterbox case.
You think I would just look around online? What do you think would be a good phone to search for, like a larger case? I'm sure there is a case for the phone. Ill just have to look.

Yeah, that's the one I use. It works well since most pouches don't fit with the hard case and the ones that do have magnetic claps that interfer with the compass. And the holster looks pretty good too. Looks similar to the defender otterbox series while the phone is in the holster. I doubt that the magnets do any permanent damage but better safe than sorry...

I was debating between this one and the ballistic and then ended up getting the ballistic. The seido is nice like the kickstand but it doesnt have all the openings on the back that the phone needs as the ballistic does and the seido is mostly all rubber it would catch lint and be hard to pull out of your pocket in a hurry. The ballistic also seems much more rugged I love the case lol.

Yeah, the reason i liked the Seidio case was because of the kickstand. And i just looked at the ballistic case, it's beautiful!! i think i might go for that one! Thanks ruffrider5956!

Looks like you already made your decision, but here's my mini review on the Seidio Active case with kickstand and holster combo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282689
I have the case/holster combo but NOT the kickstand version.
I absolutely love it. Sturdy, soft feel in your hand but solid protection from moderate drops and bumps.
Yes, it's a little pricey, but so is the phone if you break it and have to get a new one/repair it.
It's great quality period.
yeah the ballistic case looks awesome and protects really you'll love it.

Thanks, means alot!
I'm using the sapphire blue regular Seidio and I love it. (http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-sensation-4g-active-case-sapphire-blue-p/csk3htsen-bl.htm)
It comes with silicone and plastic cover. Pretty easy to slip in and out of your pocket too.
I've had the Seidio HTC Sensation ACTIVE Combo with Kickstand (that's the holster and case) on my Sensation 4G since October of last year. Bottom line, once I got it, I didn't need to look any further.
I tried many kickstand covers and cases and general stands for my Sensation before, and none was as good overall. You can see this old thread where we discussed all of them.
The Seidio is pricey, but I now know it's well worth the expense. I'll always buy from Seidio going forward. You can get this cheaper off Ebay than direct from Seidio. See here, both the holster and case in a combo are selling for just under $40. But direct from Seidio, just the case alone cost $35. The combo cost $50 if you buy direct from Seidio.
I've learned 2 things:
Buy Seidio cases and holsters.
Don't buy Seidio cases and holsters "directly" from Seidio .
I originally bought the sapphire blue case only...and it is absolutely excellent.
I got it shipped off Ebay or Amazon (don't remember) for 26 or 28 bucks.
Girlfriend (same phone) liked it so much I got her a purple one, combo for 32 shipped (no kickstand, just a case and holster) and I quickly bogarted her holster...LOL.
The ONLY gripe I have is when you go to put it in the holster sometimes the upper clip wants to push the top of the rubber case back. You just learn to "open the jaw" of the holster clip to slide your phone in.
We have 19 of these devices at work. I bought a ton of Chinese ebay cheapies...and some people bought their own.
After they see my case and touch/feel how sturdy yet soft it is, they're sold.
It is nice, period. The hard plastic exoskeleton really makes the case, covers the corners...etc.
I'm using the Seidio Active without the kick stand, "they didn't have them when I got it in Sept last year".
It's an excellent case and isn't bulky at all, but like another poster stated the clip on the holster does tend to go under the rubber lip of the case. I've also just gotten use to lifting up the clip before inserting the phone.
Otherwise after 8 months of use the case still looks great, it's a great product.
I bought several cases and after being really dissappointed in build quality, non-existant hole-cutouts, etc. I coughed up for the Seidio.
It is absolutely awesome. As others have said, the look and feel are marvelous - and after dropping my phone a couple of times I can also vouch that it does it's 'day job' perfectly too.
an awesome case
I have this case without the kickstand for 7 months. While I realize having a kick stand is one of the main selling points for you, I can attest to the quality of this case. The phone is wrapped in a molded silicone (that doesn't get stuck in pockets) and has flexible plastic wrapping around that on the corners and side to take the brunt of the blows from drops. It is an awesome hybrid case that is not bulky at all. I honestly don't understand how people can pay good money for those humongous otter boxes that make your phone 3x the size. Boggles my mind. Me and my friends have gone through a LOT of cases. This is my first Seidio. I'm hooked.
I also have this case and it is awesome. It provides really good protection and the kickstand is the cherry on the cake. I am enjoying this case really much.
I bought it after being disappointed with about 3 other cases that I bought. This is my ultimate case.

Totally respect your choice. But wanted to mention I have the one with the kickstand and I don't find it to be excessively bulky and has held up well for months. All Seidio stuff is well built.

Put Ghost Armor Matte on my Skyrocket but am getting annoyed with how parts of it peel. Used to throw Best Skins Ever on every device without issue. Any suggestions on the best thinnest case vs. protective skins?
The Cellaris case here seems interesting for it's aluminum cover: https://www.cellairis.com/product/cellairis-fender-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-black
So does this cheap TPU case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678753
Thinnest case probably is the Rearth Ringke.

I have a generic TPU case (no idea what brand) and by my ruler/eye it is 12mm, so the one linked above is only .5mm thinner. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice the difference.

I have the BodyGlove case. It's hard rubber, nice grip and adds protection to the screen because it overlaps the front of the phone. It works well because I've dropped it on my concrete patio out back and the phone was unscathed. The best feature was the $10 price tag at WalMart. Looks similar to the Rearth Ringke and the Diztonic TPU. Great purchase.
I have found the Seidio Surface line to be the thinnest and offer the best protection. Excellent product, have had this model on my last three devices.
This case is hard shell with thin padding on the inside you protect the finish of your phone. And it has a matte finish that gives your Skyrocket a much better surface to hold on to that the slick stock finish.
You can find the case alone for around 25 bucks, or with the belt clip holster as a combo for 30 - 35 if you Google in the right places.

The Surface case is very thin. Here's a video review I located.
Excellent case IMHO.
And here's a link to Amazon with a pretty good price on the case and holster combo -> http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD2-HR3SSSKY-BK-SURFACE-Holster-Skyrocket/dp/B006NYOW8S/ref=pd_sim_cps_6

Jus' sayin', y'know, if blue's your thing...
Thanks guys. Think I am sold on the Seidio given the 1mm thickness and past use of their stuff. Have the TPU case from here on order but might just get both and compare.

I'm tempted to get the blue Seidio considering how little it costs, but the wife might just kill me if I have another case delivered right after getting my new Diztronic TPU (which replaced that black case after I destroyed it, which replaced the Diztronic TPU she now has, which replaced a series of Dragoncell hybrid cases, which replaced an Otterbox, etc...I have case ADHD).
If it helps domestic peace any it seems the Platinum case / rebranded Seidio Surface + Holster can be had on eBay from US sellers for around $10 Although reading some threads it seems it only comes in black.
I think I'm going to get one of these although I am seeing some posts saying that the bottom can be a little loose for some. Hoping it's the exact same build quality as the Seidio branded version.

Bare phones always seem to work better with docks. I have this dock in picture and that's the one I'd like to know if it would work with the seidio surface case.
To answer own concern, yes it does fit. Perfectly.

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.

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.

well i cant compare as this fits good for me
I also just got the defender and it does fit the phone very nice. But I don't like how it fits in the holster, it feels secure but almost imposable to get it snapped in on the first try or without having to look to get it aligned. Once in the holster it's also difficulty to remove as the release point is on the top, if you have it rotated on your belt.
I'm currently using the Platinum case with holster from Best Buy which is the same as the Seidio surface combo. No where the protection as the Otterbox but very easy to snap in and out the holster.
I'll keep looking for a little ore protection with an easy belt clip function.

I had a question with the defender case. When you guys first got the case did u notice there were bubbles between the screen and the screen protector? Do they eventually disappear? Attached is a picture of it. (Sorry for bad lighting)
Seeing if anyone seen or know of any holsters that work, or cases that come with holsters(like seidio, Otterbox defender, etc)?
I'm using the Seidio holster for the Note 7 and it fits the device with a thin hard case or tpu case. If the case is rigid border with tpu, it won't fit since it makes it too wide.
