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.

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

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.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd4-hkr4hnx1.htm
I'm sticking with the regular case/holster as that will more than protect the phone from even a tall drop.
About a week ago, I ordered a Case/Holster combo from Amazon. I already had a normal case, but I am a real holster kind of guy. I received it tonight (was apparently in my PO Box since Saturday ) and quickly tore my new toy open. Here are my impressions-
SkyTouch Hard Cover Combo Case Holster for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket i727 (search this on Amazon to find it)
Cost- $12.98 ($8.99 + $3.99 s&h)
I love this case! Unlike the Otterbox's I had with my iPhones, there is almost no way this phone will fall out of this holster. It is blocked on both sides and the bottom. Comes out from top only. It slides in and out easily, but snug enough that you cant shake it loose. Of course, it sits face-in and the holster has a soft velvet type padding where the screen sits. The holster also serves as a kickstand.
Here is the only complaint/curiosity I have with it- The phone can only sit in the holster with the screen facing in, so the kickstand is pretty much useless. IT does not upset me really. Actually, it made me laugh a little at the oversight/absurdity. Still, this combo is a wonderful setup. I have included some pics for your viewing. I hope this helps someone who might be researching before purchasing a new case.
I ordered the SkyTouch case based on this review and like it. It provides a secure holster without the bulk of an Otterbox Defender.
For those looking for info on cases there is a thread here that discusses various cases.
Edit: The belt clip on the holster part of the case can not be removed but it does swivel allowing the holster to be used vertically or horizontally.
After using this for a couple of weeks I really like it. It is secure when in the holster. The ridged back makes a good grip surface. The snap on case for the phone provides protection but is minimalist in appearance. I feel it makes the phone look better rather than cover it up like a Commuter case does.
Erm ... not really.
Can anyone give some advice about a belt case/holster?
I'm thinking on the lines of this type http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OHFTPXM/ a horizontal case.
But, this don't usually last that long.
So, I was thinking about http://www.amazon.co.uk/Urvoix-Case-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00S6DQ37W/ a vertical canvas style.
But, I'm unsure using it with a belt and in vertical orientation would it just get in the way, sitting down, driving etc?
I'll probably be buying a case for the phone too.
Any advice please.
Thank you
I used to use belt holsters and cases but problem is this phone is so big the cases look like fanny packs Lol.
With that out of the way, I think the horizontal holders are better for when you sit down.
I'm using a Seidio CAPSA exoskeleton holster in horizontal orientation, with a UAG case. They fit perfectly together. If you search the forums someone on here has posted photos of this combination. If you rotate it to vertical it does get in the way a little when sitting down, so I use it horizontal.

Thank you both very much
I use an Otterbox Defender w/holster & don't have any issues sitting down w/ the phone in the landscape/horizon mode. I do take the phone off my belt in the car to use my Craig's Docks car dock/mount. I think your physique has a lot to do with the comfort of the phone when seated. I also have a horizontal nylon belt pouch I got from Amazon that fits the phone with the Defender case but I've never used it because I've had no problems with the Defender's holster. The nylon pouch would be very useful if you're in a warm climate & it's raining & you're outside a lot.
One thing I really like about the Defender holster is it allows the phone to be placed in the screen out position so I can see/use the screen when it's clipped on my belt (it's of course less protection than screen in but for me the functionality outweighs that). I do agree that the size of the N4 looks like you've got a tablet on your belt, it does look ridiculous but it is what it is.
The Defender is a high quality precision made case IMO and if you buy one online make sure you buy it either directly from Otterbox or directly from Amazon (not a third party reseller) as counterfeiting is rampant with them. Also you have to remove the included plastic screen protector & use something else for clarity & to prevent the constant dirt that accumulates through the opening for the home key w/ the installed screen protector.
I haven't used the exact same one that you listed, but I used a very similar design holster for my gs1 and that fake pleather material wore out pretty quick by the belt area. I can't believe I paid $15 for that. If you want to go vertical, I personally recommend it on the side. Would interfere if worn near the front. Out of those 2, I would say the nylon holster would last longer because of the 1000d cordura nylon, but I can't speak for the overall quality. The stitching might be shoddy and stuff could fall apart easily.
I used the supcase beetle case with holster, but the case and holster broke. The case could not take a huge impact. I wore the holster on my side horizontally and broke the belt clip getting out of the car. I am currently using a cheap otterbox defender type case with holster.

http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung...-kickstand-combo-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgt4k-bk.htm
iv been using the seido surface for about 6-7 months now and its still working great, spring on the holster still seems as strong as brand new, and its pretty slim compared to the other case+holster combos. it provides plenty of protection, iv dropped my phone at least 10 times since november, each time onto hard surface floors from about waist high (im 5 foot 11), and each time i remove the case to see what damage i caused and surprised to see that my phone itself still it perfect cosmetic condition. no scratches or scuffs anywhere on the edges or corners. phone sits pretty snug into the clip, it has NEVER came off on its own. if something were to go wrong with this case ill definitely buy another one.
Read my thread about Seidio & buying form their online store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/dont-want-to-buy-seidios-webstore-t3036913
I have to initiate a chargeback w/ the bank that issued the credit card I used to get a refund. Seidio refunded zero.
Seido's online store is a joke if you have a problem w/ one of their products. By far the worst experience I've ever had purchasing online.
The Surface is a decent case but completely overpriced. Only reason I got one was to turn into the Surface w/ holster which was complete garbage, both the case & the holster. Everytime I moved the phone fell off the beltclip, is was unusable. And yes, I did have the case locked to the beltclip.
For the price Seidio charges for the Surface it should have rocker switch covers at a bare minimum. You can spend a fraction of the cost of a Surface & get a far nicer case.
Best Buy sells the Surface as their Platinum series at half the price Seidio charges.
IMO Seidio = garbage.
Maxpedition
Ever since I starting using tactical pouches with my iPhone 5s, I have continued to do so with my Note 4. I use Maxpedition pouches, as they are made of 1050d ballistic nylon. They are quite excellent.|
When I'm at work, during my food vendering stuff, I use their TC-3 pouch. However, I rock their leg pouch for any other events. Since I run around with no case on my phone except for the leg pouch and the small pouch that my phone and cards slip in, I am quite pleased with the setup. Excellent durability and I can carry my expensive IEMs, wallet, phone, and a couple extras with no problem.
Thank you all for the additional post and information
After a lot of head scratching I ordered the vertical case (2nd link in my OP).
I'll use it as a starting point and try other cases once I get my Note 4 through the post.
Am looking for a belt clip or holster.
Have used seido for all my previous phones. No such case for this one?
I use this one from Walmart
The blackberry priv holster fits it perfectly FWIW!
Just a thought
Love my Essential phone but have always used a holster case. Nothing specific yet but PDAir Leather holster from Cases.com for Galaxy S7 is a precise fit and E-grips from Amazon cut into narrow strips for the sides of the phone give great grip.
Just a thought.
when I look for a belt clip/holster I want something that lasts. Any of the plastic clips either broke when sitting down in tight spaces or fell apart (I had three of them). I eventually went with TurtleBack holsters. You pay premium, but it's worth every penny. I've been using a 6.25" for a larger phone now for over a year and it still looks great (Nylon).
based on the PH-1's dimensions:
Height: 141.5mm = 5.57 inches
Width: 71.1mm = 2.8 inches
the 5.5" X 3" here should work.
If you will use a case then the next size up (5.87" X 3.25") should work great.

I just ordered the larger of the two. The holster I have now is too roomy and the phone moves too much. I'll update this with pictures once I get it.

HA! I got the exact same one today! Size Large (the extra large seemed a little too big)
For $9.98 it works fine, I bought another one on EBay but it was too tight - every time I put it in the holster the elastic sides would press against the power button, causing the phone to either turn and stay on, or go into bootloader mode! No good, so had to return it; this one from Walmart was cheaper and works better.
Now I want to add the Olixar Ultra-Thin Phone Case bumper guard when it comes out - hopefully the phone will still fit into this holster case.

I reached out to MobileFun.com a few weeks ago about that Olixar case and they absolutely have no ETA on that. My guess, never. I am using Incipio NGP Pure clear case and it works just fine with that holster.
I just ordered this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PREMIUM-Le...var=541282532750&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Looks like a good holster.
here is an update on the premium turtleback holster with pictures. Perfect fit with Incipio case.
It's of the quality of a gun holster, almost unbreakable.

Anybody got the Olycism Essential PH-1 Phone Case cover (search for 'Olycism Essential PH-1 Phone Case cover' @ Amazon)? I like what I am seeing because I like having a recessed opening (rather than covers) for the side buttons.

I also like Seidio. I sent them an email and got a VERY fast response. They do not intent to make a case for the Essential Phone at this time.
Just stumbled upon a Seidio-style clam case & holster. I got hooked on these years ago, when Verizon sold them for each of their smartphones for $29. The rigid clam cases have protected my phones so well I've almost always been able to resell them as ""mint" condition, top dollar. The matching belt holster protects the glass while still allowing me to remove & use the phones one-handed. I'd given up on getting a clam case/holster for my Essential, though, rationalizing that the production numbers were too small. Then I stumbled across the picture (attached). Ordered mine today from Amazon. It's on eBay, too, but eBay's system wasn't working, failed (repeatedly) at the credit card info screen. The previous clam case/holster combos I've bought were all of a fine, tough plastic with a film of rubber texture overlaid & a velvety material on the inside of the holster that protected the phones' screens. This set appears to be the same but I haven't used it or even received it so I don't yet know if this product will be of the same rugged quality.
Here's the Amazin link:

Just stumbled upon a Seidio-style clam case & holster. I got hooked on these years ago, when Verizon sold them for each of their smartphones for $29. The rigid clam cases have protected my phones so well I've almost always been able to resell them as ""mint" condition, top dollar. The matching belt holster protects the glass while still allowing me to remove & use the phones one-handed.

Just received mine from eBay.
The case itself provides good protection for the back of the phone and the sides, but does not protect the top and bottom of the phone where the ceramic meets the display glass. With the phone in the holster, all edges are protected.
The kickstand is actually pretty useful.
Unlike Sedio, the phone does not "click" in and out of the holster. Rather, you have to slide it in and out, which takes a bit more focus.
The best surprise is the tempered glass protector. It covers the entire display including the camera. It has a black border that matches the display perfectly. It also has clear areas for the sensors around the front camera. It only has adhesive along the border but the glass matches the case perfectly, so the edges don't lift up. No Halo or rainbow effect. Only negative is the fingerprints are more visible.
All in all, I'm going to use this combo, as I need a belt holster for my line of work.

I was wondering if the Sedio spring clip holster for the iPhone X would fit? The PH-1 is just a little shorter but otherwise the same size.

Have used seido for all my previous phones. No such case for this one?

Just wondering if we have better solutions after all this time. What are people using?
This is what I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017HVSF2O/. It fits good and holds well. The height and width are perfect but the depth of the PH-1 is less than the iPhone 6/6S with Otterbox case that the holster is designed for. This makes the lower clips protrude and catch on things every now and again.

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if it would fit perfectly if we put PH-1 in a thicker case like these? They are both triple-layer cases, so I'm guessing they an add a good thickness.
