[Q] Vertical Leather cases? (w/ belt clip) - HTC Sensation

Hello,
I am looking for a vertical leather case w/ belt clip for my sensation. Anyone has experience with any? I have seen the PDair one on ebay but it doesn't have a closing cover.
THis one:

is pretty once but it's a bit big for the sensation.

I have the black with red stitching. It fits the phone length wise and without a case, it does have some space in the case, but it is protected. If you put on any other case like a body glove case or barely there case or the pictured Mobi case, it fits really well...

The lockscreen is just the plane lockscreen with just the lwp showing the lwp is called gravity home and can be found both here and the market.

I now know why Darth Vader has that breathing problem... all the smoking!
I'm on the hunt for a vertical flip holster that is slim and holds the naked Sensation snugly. So far my efforts have not been fruitful. Most are too generic and made for any thick device. I'll post whenever I find one.
-Edit-
Keep in mind the location of the power button on top. I'm currently using an old thin Blackberry holster that likes to hold down the power button and keep the screen on. It goes off though unless screen timeout is off.

if you are looking for a tight one then buy the pdair.

PDair cases always fit tight. I bought a horizontal leather case from them once and I have to stretch it since I like my phone fitting loosely inside the case

I see a few variants of that case online. I'm going to pull the trigger on one. At first I didn't like the idea of no "flip" part. Years of Blackberry/Android holsters have gotten me used to "flipping" up that flap. I tried with my current beat up holster and tucked the flap back and into my pants so the top is open. Yes it looks silly but I found I like it open on top. As long as I don't walk on my hands I should be ok.

I'm using the vertical leather sleeve with belt clip for the Samsung Galaxy 4G. Got it at the Tmo store with my Sensation and I think it's really nice. The actual clip is the most secure I've ever used.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

anyways, does anyone think a vertical case for such a big phone would look weird? Honestly I've only seen people with a blackberry vertical leather case, which are definitely way smaller

I'm using this one from Tumi but it has no belt clip.

I've always had vertical case for my devices, but this phone is too big when I tried it!

I prefer the vertical look better and for me it's more functional than sideways. I always liked having my Blackberries vertical. I ended up getting a case like c19932 recommended and I love it. This is the specific one I got.
Vertical Holster I Bought
There is a video there. The build quality is great and the clip is strong enough I could probably hang from it. It's not overly thick and bulky like most holsters I've seen. The phone fits nice and snugly. I could walk on my hands all day and it wouldn't fall out. It's easy to take the phone in/out. Far easier than having a flip top. I would say it will decrease the chance of an accidental drop. I would definitely recommend any case like this one!

As of right now I just cutted a iPhone screen protector and made it fit my Nexus one lol. It's kinda ugly, but it'll do until Bestskinsever.com releases a skin for the N1.
The N1 box includes a case thats actually quite nice. Neoprene, fits like glove. Very thin (~1mm).

I'm talking about snapons and gels. The included case is nice but I hate having to slide the phone out its not practical. And usually I'm using the phone if its gonna be dropped haha.
I bought an Eddie Bauer Universal Cell phone Holster from Worst er Best Buy. Not the greatest, but it fits the phone and it holsters on my belt. I don't like having my phone in my pocket so it works for me.
Here is a link to it on Amazon

It fits reasonably well and isn't too hard to get in our out. Will work until an official one comes out.

I had the Seidio Innocase for the g1 and while it was thin, the black rubberized material wore off. Im waiting for these, they look like they are made well. http://www.myincipio.com/category/google_nexus_one_cases/
I hope some companies will make nice looking cases like those made by Goincase and Speck for iphone

Car Holder for $6
Here is a potential one.
It's not the official holder (that will most likely ring in around $29), but for under $6 it could be a good, inexpensive alternative.
The title says Touch HD, but the box says "universal" so not sure on this. But the horizontal mount is nice..

Short Review and Photos of Mesh (Hard Case) Casing

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share this with the people here. Bought an Orange mesh case on ebay via London Magic Store and have been very happy with it. It's so nice that I am considering buying the white and possibly the blue one as well.
It doesn't provide as much protection as the gel cases, but it makes the device easier on the eye. It simply looks sleek.
Now on to the photos:

this orange one looks great!
i'll wait until my red one dies, if ever... LOL
have anyone wondered.... Why the hell the cases does not cover the bottom of the phone??????, we just need a pin size hole for the mic
all these slick great looking hybrid (soft/hard) cases are like that... why?
not like we have any connectors there
I thought the mesh cases were the ones with holes in them? Usually, on Ebay, these are just referred to as "rubberized hard back case" or something like that.

I'll wait for my white to die off too.. LOL.
But somehow, I prefer the real mesh design (the ones with holes all over) but they don't come in orange.
As for the bottom opening, it's most probably to retain the flexibility of the case, so U can snap in and out easily. Mine came with a hairline crack at the bottom.. but it's a minor thing.. so Im not bothered.

maybe that's the reason
otherwise i can't understand why the soft gel / rubber ones are fully wrapped, but the nice stylish ones are butt naked
i already have a full gel one, it's great for protection, but sometimes it gets a bit on the edge, when the finger is too close to the end of the screen.
so i prefer the stylish models like the orange one, makes using the phone easier, the finger doesn;t get caught in the way of the gel/rubber cases when sliding close to the edge of the screen

Naiveness ;> It's to save money, simple as that. Making a case which covers the top and bottom requires more precision work in order for it to snap in/out easily enough and beside that it also require more material and design work.
Back to topic though, you tricked my expectations Not nice playing with people's mind like that, saying it's a mesh case review when it's not. Anyhow, t'is a nice case, I should be getting the black version within a day or two.
As far as protection goes... Not really expecting much, if any at all. Pretty sure I'll end up buying a case mate tough case or something similar for the scenarios when I know I'll be more likely to drop things. Too bad they're pretty expensive, in comparsion.
but the mesh case and this case is identical
just different colours
the mesh has holes, this one is solid

But can U confirm the quality and finishing is identical?
Coz if I'm not wrong, the mesh cases are official Samsung accessory, made by Anycall. There's a shop here (set up by some China nationals) that sell cheap cases and they happened to have something similar to the one shown here, with various colours... They're S$15 and look cheap. Not sure if they are the same.
Do note the price varies alot.. U$11++ for the mesh ones and U$3++ for this with free shipping..
ihave the same case from london magic store but in purple and its great, gives the phone a lot more solid feel without making it too chunky.
also recived an orange mofi case to keep it in and even with the case on it fits in fine, very pleased
Anybody knows if this cases fit Samsung Galaxy SL (i9003)? I would love to buy one, but I don't know if it's going to fit with my phone!
Thank you mates!!
Nice looking case. Im stuck with some half metal half plastic pile of depression that scratches after the slightest graze. Seems like i got what i had for the money......

Speck universal holster for G2 (with pics and link!)

I was planning on purchasing this Speck universal holster for my G2. I already have the OEM gel skin and this seems to fit it perfectly. Good alternative to otterbox or seidco cases that are mysteriously absent for our beloved phone model. I was wondering if anyone had one or used one in the past and also to inform others about what might make an excellent combo for the popular OEM texturized gel skin. linkage... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6824578&sk
Okay, it just came it and it's very nice. The build is nice quality and solid for a plastic holster. The cool thing is how it works. It has a spring (No... not like the one in our Z-hinge) that auto-fits any sized smartphone with or without gel or hard case! And when you use it without a case... its not loose or jiggley at all. Very solid each corner has rubberized grip on the inside so that it holds any size phone. I knew it was a bit pricey ($25-29.99 depends on where you get it) but it's worth it to me. And I can use it with any smartphone... so if I felt like going TP2 today... just pop in my sim and the same clip. And any future phone too. Here are some pics...

I bit the bullet and ordered one. I'll give a full review with pictures when it arrives. It's nice that Tiger Direct ships UPS though. I really hate the post office... yuk!
The cool thing about this holster is that you can use it one ANY phone so I switch up with one of my many current or future phones. Will be a nice combo with the T-Mobile Gel Skin, I think.

Yeah I just saw that in another thread. it looks nice! I'm gonna stick with this one since I can put in the holster while the gel skin is still on. I dont think the regular seidio holsters will do that. I know they have some that hold the phone with a case on but not the current ones. they have to go naked to fit. I'll post some pics later this week when it arrives. it should be here wednesday or thursday... but thanks for the heads up!

Yes. it swivels in both vertical and horizontal positions....
I just ordered one of these myself to go with another item folks on here found, seems like a near perfect replacement to Seidio if both items are used together.

How do you get your phone in and out of the holster one handed like the box says? getting it on isn't so bad, I keep ripping it off my belt when trying to do anything with it.

If you are using a wider belt like I am, it is kinda difficult at first. I fixed it by pushing upwards on the clip so that it closes all the way. Do that firmly once, and it should fit nicely. If you belt is wider than the clip... well that's the issue. Just examine the clip while its on the belt. If it isn't closed tightly... push the clip upward into the belt and it will loosen and fit properly.

I pulled out the clip spring and detached the clip so I could remove the screw on the pivot. This let me flip the clip over so that I pushed down rather than pulled up to remove the phone and the problem was solved. as the clip is now forced against my belt.
As a warning though, I had to snip off the two retainer bumps from the case to get it to pivot correctly again. As a side effect, it can now pivot in 360 degrees (it doesn't spin freely)
In the end, this will do, but I'm really hoping that Seidio pulls through as this system is not the quality I would like for my needs. I prefer the snug fit and felt padding in the seidio as it keeps the screen clean and protected rather than the spring powered gap and distance away from the holster the screen is now.

yeah, I got mine working with just a little force by pushing upwards on the clip without modding (which is nice). It's a nice clip but I guess your belt was a bit wider than mine. But so far this seems like the best thats available. it would be nice if otterbox or seido made a clip that fit on their protective cases but it seems like it won't happpen... oh well, we got stuck with the rather lame otterbox commuter series. Welll, I am happy with this setup though. no complains here since I didn't have to snip off the retainer clips.

I also have 2 Nillkin cases, which are very thin (thinner than any tpu I've put on), but this one is definitely even thinner.
There are also "skins" you can put on the phone, but if you ever want to use the phone in a dock, then the skin will cause a problem...so I prefer a thin case that's quick and easy to remove.
Here is the ebay link where I bought mine from. The auction is over, but I'm sure if you click around on that page, you'll find another auction with the same case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320735735257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Wow!!! That's a thin case.

Trident Aegis Case
lol...trident aegis is like the antithesis of "thin case."
thanks mm... that's exactly what i'm looking for. anyone else sell something like that in the states?
how long did yours take to arrive?
Anything from hong kong usually takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive
make certain that you notice there are areas of the phone that go unprotected with this case...it's light, quick to pop on and off, looks good, thin in your pocket. But if you drop it on the street, you're might have a problem.
what else do people suggest? if i wanted to go the full corner cover.
There is a pretty good tpu case at Walmart for like 15 bucks. Not thin compared to the nilkin, but covers the corners
EDIT: and is also one of the thinnest tpu cases i've seen
what's the brand name and do you have a link?

this is the case I have. Its cheap and its very thin. I have no problems with it. The only thing slightly off with this case is that it is difficult to hit the up/down volume button and the power button but its not too bad.
Ive been through 3 cases.
Thinnest probably is BodyGlove Grasp. I'm using that now.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Also, if your e looking for good protection, but fairly thin, easy to pull out of pocket, I recommend seidio surface case. It fully covers the case, but is thin and feels good in the hand. Someone here said the case scratched his phone, but I can't even see how thata possible because it is felt lined. I've had it over 2months now, and not a scratch. I got the optional holster with it, and I use it for most of my other cases. I have 8 for this p phone.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
do you have link for the body glove grasp? I would like to see that?

My friend and I using that case right now, we ordered 2 different date (different sellers) and I got one with full cover and he got the one look like one on the pic. Btw, good case for the price, fit very good, exept the corner on his case.
I've got the TPU case from Amazon (can't post links, not enough posts yet) -- it really isn't thin at all... The corner is not exposed on the one I have. I mean, it was only $2.80 + shipping.. it fits perfectly, but it is just too thick for my taste, so I never use it. Without the case, the phone is nice and thin, with the TPU case, it is just too thick. The whole point in getting this phone it that it was less than 11 mm thick. With the case, it is more like 13 mm... meh..

Similar to Nillkin but I like the color more:

Similar to Nillkin but I like the color more:

KLD Product Info said the Case is made by thin cast aluminum (Photo ~ Line B),
Can you please check out for us if it's true...?
I guess Wireless Charging & NFC Signal will be blocked by the aluminum.
How do you like the fitting?
Will it scratch the phone when install, take out..?
Thanks...!
Re: Enland Flip cover case
This would make me assume NFC will not work if it is lined with aluminum.

was going to order the Nillkin, but will wait on reviews for this now!
Re: Enland Flip cover case
I heard the buttons are hard to access with the nillken case. Could you please tell us how does it feels with this one?
I am currently looking for a flip case too, and the best up to now seemed to be the nillken, even with that flaw, so if this one do not have the same flaw, I guess I have a winner

I think this is the best feature of the Google bumper. It incorporates keypressers so pressing the buttons is not as difficult as cases that have simple cutouts. Would love to see a flip case with buttons similar to the stock bumper.
So, elty123, 10 days since you started this thread. Have you already received your order? We want some insights!
Does anyone have this case yet? I'm thinking of getting the pink one, not many femine covers out for this phone yet.
Still waiting for this case. Not sure if this will work from wireless charger, but my HP Touchpad works with the Touchstone even with a case on. This should be similar I guess.
Finally got the red case. build quality is pretty good, and it is nice to touch. However, it doesn't really look like leather - more like.texture plastic. I think It would look better if it is not a bright peachy red.
I don't know if there is a thin cast aluminum inside, however the cover is pretty sturdy. It also doesn't seems to lower reception strength when the case is opened. I have no wireless charger to test.

Do you have some pictures?

So it's not more of a fuchsia or a hot pink? That's a relief, I liked that one. Many of these product photos use really bright light and make the colors brighter than pictured in everyday light.

What can you say about the cuts to access the buttons? I heard they are quite narrow in the Nilkin case, making it a bit hard to press them.
And this is the first flip cover I use, and sometimes the cover doesn't close completely.... is it a problem for other flip cover?

Yep, pretty common.
The cut is not very clean (some residual plastic). Pressing the power is ok but the volume is a bit harder, probably because of the spine.
The texture of the cover is the same as the picture... just that it is a bit more shiny than I thought.
Also closing the cover seems to reduce signal strength by a few dBm. I can't really tell because the signal strength fluctuate a lot here, even without any case.
I ordered this case because it looks realllllly nice. I chose this over the nillkin because I wanted it in brown.
