I find it annoying that I can not find any.
Sometimes I think I am the last person left that does not like putting a expensive smartphone in my pocket.
I like to find a horizontal case that fits the device and has a belt clip.
Any recommendations?
Otterbox Defender ?
They show them for $50.00 on AT&T's website under accessories for the Skyrocket.

Are you talking about a case (that surrounds the phone during handling) or a pouch, where you put it in when not using?

Also directly on AT&T's website, under accessories. I think the one I saw online was also on sale for Cyber Monday/Week/Whatever.

I am using the horizontal pouch from my old Motorola Q
Not crazy with the cases I seen on eBay either
I use "Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989 - Horizontal Pouch" by PdAir dot com. I've used their cases with a few different phones and really like the fit/finish and they last a long time.

all? don't be silly... some have the really annoying swivel clip. Don't think the OP mentioned that he didn't want ones with the belt loops.

T989 is the T-Mobile one...so that would be a perfect fit.

Not sure, I only own the i727. I hear the two phones are practically twins though so it seems likely.

For something like a case like those you put on your hip and slip the phone in and out of, they are the same dimensions.
If you're talking about form fitting plastic cases, they have different placement of the speaker on the back (or so I'm told). So in the context of this thread, the Tmobile version of the SGS2 and the Skyrocket are interchangeable.

I was referring to the headphone port on the phone. I know in my old holster that I used with my iPhone I can have the phone sit comfortably in the holster while being able to connect a pair of headphones to it.
However, when I try to fit my current Skyrocket in there, the phone would fit, but I wouldn't be able to connect my headphones since the leather of the holster is blocking it.
Now if the T-Mobile version has the headphone port in the same spot and it's holster doesn't cover it then it would be great for us to get.
Gotcha. I don't know from any personal experience, but I have read that the headphone jack is in a slightly different location...but I'm not 100% on that, so take that with a grain of salt...

I like this case but without the flip. Could you tell me for the phone portion of the case (the part that holds the phone), is it ALL made out of leather as well? or is the inside of the case made if hard plastic that could possibly scratch the phone?

wanna buy something like that,it look nice,and phone is fully protected..
Ok, today I have gotten the case. It feels sturdy, fits on the sides perfectly. Despite of the site being registered in US, it arrived from "Jacky Chan" in Hong Kong (lold at that one) Took ~10 days per airmail.
The cut-outs for camera and flash + back speaker are fitting perfectly aswell, along with volume and microusb cut-out.
Only thing that was a bit weird at first was that the covering didn't fit perfectly "at once", but I guess after a while and stretching it'll fit. The cover holds though, while also giving access to power button.
I am in work atm, but I will post pictures once I get home. Stay tuned.
For ~24 USD it seems fairly usable and good-looking case, in my opinion.
THIS is the bomb! 60$ but worth it ! I have used this company's similar case for my HD2, Desire HD, AND now for the Sensation!

I think it is possible, but I am not sure whether it then wouldn't be prone to further ripping. The hard plastic ends on the bottom from where the leather-only hinge starts and there you should be able to perform a cut, while having it still stylish.
Maybe if you would finish the cut part with some sort of superglue mixed with black ink, it would fix the ripping issue.
Hey guys,
I usually post my reviews on the Galaxy Nexus forums but I've recently gotten my hands on the One X, so I'll be bringing some case reviews in the coming weeks. Today I got my hands on the Tough, from Case-Mate. This is a two piece hybrid case that looks to provide good protection, for users who are prone to dropping their devices.
You can find the full video review below:
Great review. By any chance do you know if this case will fit the USA (LTE) version?

As far as I know, there is no physical difference between the two models other than the placement of the Pogo Pins. Also, according to Case-mate, it will fit both models.
Thanks for watching!

This is not true. As it's been shown and proven in some of the other threads in this section, there is a .4mm length difference, and yes, .4mm does make a difference. Ask those who have gotten their cases and are now returning them because it does not fit correctly.

I'll take your word for it. I've bought some AT&T cases and they fit just fine on my Int. Model.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Don't have to take my word for it. You can see it in the pictures I provided.
Mind you, these are "Itnl. sized cases" on a longer AT&T device. An AT&T longer case, would fit a Intl' version fine as it can "settle" into the right spot, where the camera is concerned and have a nearly unnoticeable excess at the bottom. Unfortunately this does not work the other way around as you can see in the pics.
Could you check gps reception with and without the case.?

Just checked that for you - working fine for me. Turned GPS off with case off, then pinned my location. Did the same with the case on and it took roughly the same amount of time to find my location.
Very weird that you experienced that on your Inspire.

Hard to tell why but I've heard others say similar things (albeit with other devices). Most likely it has something to do with GPS placement on the device. Like I said, nothing to worry on here, so if you like the case - go for it!
So has anyone else put one of these on the att version? How's it fit? I know one person said it.fits too tight.
Sent from my HTC One X
yeah, the case-mate one is made more for the international version. i'm going to be contacting case-mate to see if they're going to be making one for our model. i'd really like a case-mate on mine but i'm not going to buy something that's not actually made for our devices.
edit: done. hopefully they get back to me before the end of the week with some kind of response. i really love the Tough Case. it served me very well for my international Samsung Galaxy SII
I called case-mate about the tough case and the lady told me that they worked with AT&T to make sure the tough case would fit. LOL I almost laughed at her seeing as mine doesn't really fit good at all. Too tight.

Look on Amazon. I did get one, but I wasn't happy with the finish, compared to the version shown in the thread (which I also have).
I would also love to see a replica Note 3 cover for the S4. I've looked on eBay, Amazon, and various other threads but haven't seen one that I really like. I have a blue leather pattern one on my S4 now, but to be honeset, it's rather ugly...:crying:
samsung may release a cover like that for our s4
Really want one
No way. Samsung will probably keep this design for the S5 or F series. However, I'm sure that somebody will launch a cover like Note 3's one day.
you can get a leather one from here, mine arrived today and although its quite expensive its a lot better than the one that amazon sells.
alot of cases you get out there can very cheap quality and not last long. id rather spend $20 on a good case then $10 on a case that will last a month
so anyone got any from ebay that is of good quality and is same as Note 3 ? There are alot of people selling now but don't know which one is worth buying. also that glossy sides turns me off.

This one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/380721091944...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I bought one lets see when I will get it, but that shiny sides I am not much fan
Since there are discussions on cases that do not work because of the microphone opening on the Verizon model not lining up, I thought we need a thread on cases that actually do work.
Has anyone found any cases that does not cover one of the microphone openings on the bottom?
I want to get a replacement for the Spigen Ultra Hybrid for just this reason.
Just a wild guess but I bet the cases Verizon is selling directly have the proper alignment (no idea though, can't check)? Why would they move the mic hole? I'm guessing to upsell their cases to you? "Oh well, these are the only cases that fit the phone properly, would you like to purchase for $40 now?".
The second another carrier (T-Mobile probably) get's coverage similar to VZW, I'm gone. I can't stand this constant messing around with the phones. Leave the **** alone Verizon, it's going to come back around to you.
The Supcase fits, they designed it with the different position of the mic in mind.
As I pointed out in the other thread, the Samsung protective cover works.
I'm thinking that other than that, your best bet is in store cases...
Yet another reason I'm happy to not be a Verizon customer.
I wouldn't purchase any third party cases without contacting the manufacturer first and ensuring the Mic placement on their case is open the exact mm away from the edge of the charging port.
This case might work, i ordered it for my tmobile note 4 but when i received it one of the mic holes was off.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NB3AFM6/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_kX3sub1MRVEWY

UAG Cases are good to go! As well as the in house VZW TPU cases.
Curious... where on the phone is the mic that doesn't fit?

I'm using this and so far only issue is if you let the case folks while trying to take a picture can block some of the picture if your not careful, just need to hold the case against the camera while taking a photo.
I bought this one and has never shown up, is 3 days late! !
Will let you know once it finally arrives, asking with

Otterbox defender & commuter fit fine. Looks like they ovalized the left mic hole to be a universal accommodation. Just another reason why they're one of the best!
Here is my Neo Hybrid after the dremel work

So wait stop, you mean to tell me Verizon actually moved the mic hole in their version?? Isn't that a little ridiculous? I thought it was a manufacturing error in my case since I just bought a random one off of amazon, but now it looks like nearly every case I buy will have this issue because verizon decided to move something in the hardware over 2mm???

it's shifted for the verizon model. But certain cases with fit, i.e., samsung protective case, supcase, otterbox
Verizon loves messing with you guys

I have been eyeballing the first one you listed as a sorta temporary case until more companies adjust to the Verizon difference. The price is right. Not sure how I will like the flap tho.

yeah...i know, doesn't look great, but works! hahaha.
Picked up the Incipio DualPro from a Verizon store tonight. The left side mic hole is elongated/bigger to accommodate the Verizon mic position. It it not covered by the case and works perfectly. The case is simiar to the Otterbox Commuter(2 piece case) but is a but thinner.
I get that incipio case delivered tomorrow, glad to hear it fits. I love the soft texture of the incipio case. I've used that same one on my last 3 phones and it's always protected my phones great.
