I have 3500 batery, so phone is quite thick.
I want a case that fully covers the screen. I like the pdair leather case.
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_10000000_11001061&products_id=31412
But I doubt it would fit. Any Ideas as to first, if i could force the thick phone into the plastic sheath, without breaking either phone, or sheath.
Or if not, any other ideas for full case?
i ordered 1 from amazon and it adds way too much thickness to the phone...the case was from eforcity
it was only 2 bucks, but i never drop my phone anyway, so i don't really need a case
I was hoping someone could help with this also. I have a pouch case I bought at Wal-Mart but it still fits a bit to tight.
I would also like this. Something without a belt clip.

I was at my local Best Buy today looking at phone accessories when I came across this case and holster for the Nexus One. As I looked closer at it, it looked very similar to the Seidio case and holster, only it was branded Platinum. Upon further inspection, I noticed on the bottom of the packaging in small letters that it was indeed a Seidio product. What really surprised me though was that it was only $10, instead of $35 like the other cases and holsters around it, so I snatched it up right then and there.
Since all the other Platinum brand case/holster were still full price, I can only assume that they are discontinuing this in the stores. I looked on their website and it's still listed for $35. So if you've been looking to get this case and holster, I'd suggest you hit your local Best Buy and hope they still have them in stock before their gone.
I got the same one from the local best buy by me. Solid case and holster for $10. Well made and has all the needed openings for microphones, ports, ect. Phone fits face in or face out in the holster.
Appears to be a rebranded Siedo Innocase™ II Surface Combo - Black which retails for $50 on the Siedo website.
Only problem is (like other cases) you have to remove it to fit it into the desk/car dock. Still a good value.
I picked one up yesterday and tried to put it on. First off, as I was sliding the top part in slowly, it took the screen protector off with it on the upper left side. Then the rubbery material on the inside of the case peeled off as well. I had to replace the screen protector. I took it back today to exchange it. I got it on this time, but again, the upper left side of my screen protector began bubbling really badly so I took it off immediately. Now, my screen protector has these scratch lines where the case overlaps the screen and glides on when sliding on the phone. I'm glad I had a screen protector on or else the case might've scratched my actual screen. I've always had a problem with the seidio case and I was hoping this one would be different, but its not.

I don't use a screen protector myself, I've had the case on and off a handful of times since I got it and it doesn't appear to be scratching the screen. I do agree though that the little rubber pieces on the inside do tend to move around a bit, but I've found that if you squeeze the case in as you slide it onto and off the phone, it minimizes the chances of the rubber moving.
Overall, I've always been very happy with Seidio's holster clips, but have to have a case on my phone cause I've very tough on phones, so I'd say the Innocase is perfect.
Now I just need to rig up a way to use the phone in the official car and home dock without having to remove the phone from the case. Gonna have to whip out the Dremel tool, soldering iron and some wood. If I get really ambitious, I may even cast some plastic molds of the phone.
Thanks for the heads up on the case. I went to my local best buy and they did not have it on display. I had to ask one of the cellphone associates to get it for me out of the back. Their SKU is: 9943421 for $9.99 regular price $34.99.
I've been using the Case-Mate tough case exclusively since I purchased the phone in March. All I can say is I'm amazed at how thin this case is. It feels as if there really is no cover on the phone. The addition of a secure belt clip is a HUGE plus in my book. My only gripe so far is I don't think this case will do much good in protecting the phone from a drop out of your pocket or coat.
Funny you should say that, I too just switched from the Tough Case as well. I did love the CM case for the combination of shock absorbing rubber and hard plastic shell, but it made the phone too bulky. As for the Seidio, it may be thin and not offer as much protection as the CM case, but take into account that the shell of the phone itself is metal and hard plastic and comes into direct contact with the screen. Any drop is going to transfer from the shell and into the screen most likely causing it to break. A case on the phone, even a thin one, is still more flexible than the phones shell and absorb most impacts. Even if the case itself breaks in a fall, better a $10/$35 case then a $579 phone.

After a few hours of using it, I switched back to my tough case. I just can't get over how "under protected" the phone feels. I did however use the Seido case when I had to wear a suit earlier this week. I like having my phone on my belt in those cases. For 10$ its a nice option to have.
Now if there was only a way to get the Seido holder to hold the n1 with the tough case on it.....
No joy at my local best buy - but I found an open-package one on Ebay for $7.99 with free shipping - same item.
Open package is no big deal to me though...
Thanks for opening my eyes to this product!
just got this as my seido case was getting really messed up.
the only difference i see is that the inside is rubber rather than seido's felt interior

Sound's to me like what you need is the Seidio rugged case. It's similar to the Tough case in that you get a thick rubber wrap with a plastic shell around it, and then that fit's into a special spring holster.

I'm sticking with the regular case/holster as that will more than protect the phone from even a tall drop.
Hey guys,
Just bought the Incipio Feather case and wanted to share my thoughts in case some people were thinking about buying.
The case is definitely very light weight and pretty thin (Incipio states that it is less than 1 mm thin). It's an "ultra light, ultra strong polymer" hard case that is smooth to the touch while having a slightly rubbery feel to it. The case itself has very clean edges with no trace of any manufacturing defects. There are cutouts for the power and volume buttons, hdmi port (it's covered in the pictures on their site, but there is indeed a cutout for this), usb port, camera, microphone, headphone jack, and speakerphone. With the exception of the battery, everything is easily accessible through these cutouts.
As for protection, this is where I've been disappointed. First off, the side of the case does not rise above the side of the phone, so when you put the phone face down, the screen will be touching the surface (they provide a screen protector, but I don't think that's enough). Secondly, the case does not completely wrap around the phone, so both the top and, more importantly, the bottom of the phone are exposed. The bottom is important because on a straight drop, the pointed part of the phone will take all of the impact because it protrudes beyond the corner parts of the case. The top isn't as bad because it's flatter, so the corner portions of the case will ideally take the impact. Granted, you aren't purchasing a "feather" or "barely there" case for its protective qualities, but I think that had Incipio manufactured the case to fully wrap around the phone, both the protection and aesthetics of the case would have been enhanced.
In regards to the aesthetics, I purchased the case to avoid the bulkiness of other cases so that I could enjoy the look of the phone. However, the cutouts and the fact that the case doesn't fully wrap around the phone cause the Feather case to "break" the smooth lines of the phone. I would definitely prefer the look of a case that fully wraps around the phone.
Overall, I would not purchase this case again. At $25, even with the screen protector and microfiber cloth, I think that a case like the Androidified case that I previously reviewed provides better value with more protection. With the TPU case, my phone experienced no damage after I accidentally dropped the phone while getting out of a car. I can't say that the Feather case would provide the same sort of protection.
Thanks for the review, this was my favorite case when I had my Atrix. I noticed it on the site the day it went up but did not buy it because an employee confirmed over live chat that there was no hdmi cutout. Now that I know it is there I am placing an order now. I just bought the otterbox and I like it but its just too much for me.
This is almost the same exact case as this:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=47557
But yours is probably a tiny bit thinner. And this one has a pull out stand which is awesome. They tried to sell this hardcore when i bought the phone, and I got it then.

The Incipio also doesn't have those rubber ridges. I had one of these cases on my Thunderbolt and I hated it because I keep my phone in my pocket. Went with a Case-Mate Barely There case which seems to be similar to the Incipio.
It reminds me of an ultra light 1 piece Seidio innocase. It has a similar feel but its lighter and thinner.
After using this case for a few days I have to agree. This case is not worth it at all. The feather used to be my choice but incipio did not do well with this one.
I'm really hoping case-mate jumps on it and makes a barely there case for the Charge.

Yeah same here. I went back to my Otterbox case but I just ordered the Trident Aegis today. I would rather have a thin light case but this feather is just plain terrible.
Why you going with Trident Aegis..instead of just using the Otterbox?
Just curious on your thoughts on the Otterbox..did you get the Trident? How is it?
The Otterbox is a good case but I am not too sold on having the buttons on the bottom covered. The Trident case shipped today and I will post pics and a review of the Aegis when it comes.
I am currently using a Griffin Ipad1 folio case, paid $5 from the verizon sale, classy high quality leather look, well built, great protection and most importantly it doesn't block anything. I mean ANYTHING including the most important speakers which is also where the heat coming outs also. It is almost a perfect case to use it at work and school but I am trying to find something little bit different when I am using it at home.
Most of the Ipad1 folio cases will work but just depends on the style and the quality you want. I am thinking something close to the otterbox style, I tried a few cases and been reading alot online.
Otterbox, as everyone know it does not fit unless someone smart comes out with a easy way to modify it to fit then it will be the most ideal case.
Speck Candyshell hard case, some said it will fit so I ordered one from ATT (Since you don't like it you can return it back to retail store). It does but it's little bit loose so it's not secured enough and the volume down is stuck. No go.
Hp OEM case, best fit and best looking case for the touchpad but not enough protections compares to the Griffin case. If you have an OEM case, you should try out the griffin case.
After countless hours of researching... saw this little Speck IPAD1 rubber case that might work for the touchpad. It's called Speck Pixelskin Silicone Soft Grip Case for IPAD1.
Someone is selling on Ebay for $10 now, does anyone have this to confirm the fitment? Thanks,

Did the case fit your touchpad? i just picked up 2 on ebay for nephews and want to protect the tablet. thanks.

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.

If anyone is looking for a belt holster style carrying case, this is one that I got a few weeks back:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H2K0M58/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So far it's worked very well for me. I keep the Incipio Battery Pack on all the time on my phone and it fits just beautifully in this case. Just about the perfect size to easy in, easy out with the battery pack on it. Not very expensive either. The material is appears to be good quality.
I was even able to fit the phone with the JBL speaker mod on it in the case, though that was a tight fit.
There are two negatives worth noting:
1. It's big! Well, obviously it has to be cause it's a big (ie, tall) phone so it looks a little large on your hip. If having something big and heavyish on your hip is going to bug you, then don't get it.
2. I'm not thrilled with the clip... It's strong enough, but it doesn't hold as tightly as I'd like. This makes it easy to get the case on and off your belt... but a little too easy. A couple of times I've pulled the whole case off when just trying to get my phone out. And at least once when I was sitting in a deep couch for a while my normal movement while seated moved the case enough up the belt that when I stood up the case fell off my belt. (It's possible I just one a case with a belt clip that isn't as tight as it normally should be.)
Thanks for the review! Couple questions...
Is it long enough, that without a mod attached, the phone will fit with a case on it? In particular I was thinking of the bumper.
I work on trucks for a living. Having it slide off my belt would be annoying. Do the clips have enough space, that were I to glue them down, I'd be able to slide a belt through them?
Never mind, I see it has loops.
How well has it held up, since you've purchased it?
Just to let you know...the Incipio Performance Level 4 cases come with a holster as well. And they're not bulky like the OtterBox Defender series.
As a follow up, the AGOZ holster is great! At first I thought the clip was overkill, and contemplated removing it, but in unison with the loops, it firmly holds the holster where I want it. I use it all week long at work, since I work on trucks, and want the most protection possible, without the Otterbox bulk in hand.
I did look at the Incipio holster, but it looked awkward used in the horizontal position. I did purchase their bumper, which I love. On weekends, I use the Seidio Dilex Pro holster for the Galaxy Note 5, recommended on another forum. It's a perfect holster in combination with the bumper, and allows for any mod to be used.
I just want a simple clip holster that works with the back panel that came with the phone. No bumper, no case... Just a belt clip.
No where to be found.
I use this sometimes. Works fine with the style shell or Incipio battery pack. It has a nice sturdy metal clip that allows the case to rotate.
