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.
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.
Anyone using a thicker case (I like the AMZER Jelly has bumpers so its a little thicker) with a holster? I have a generic, and Seidio older SIII holster that work with many TPU cases (they are thinner) but the AMZER will not quite fit. Any ideas for a "slightly" larger? holster that would fit without spending $30 or more for it?
Also any mods for all the TPU cases that kind of mute the volume when laying flat? I stuck a few drops of glue around the speaker hole and let them dry to sort of raise the case slightly so the sound can come out. When they lay flat it mutes it pretty good, cant believe all the case makers do not think of allowing the sound to port out some way.
Any bigger accommodating holsters?

Anybody?
I just bought a generic TPU, and also the SGP Neo Hybrid. The Neo also even though thin does not fit in my holster. The TPU does. is there a slightly larger holster out there (with the rotating spring loaded clip) that works for slightly wider/thicker cases?
I need a holster for work , and every time a new nexus comes out I put up with the fact that I am going to have to buy a few case / holster combos to find something that works for me. For this phone I think I have found the perfect combo. The Spigen Rugged Armor and the Seidio iPhone 6S+ Dilex Holster. Before I made the purchase I found a few people with iPhone 6S+ phones and compared the size with the 6P. They were so close I figured I could use a 6S+ holster. I ordered the Seidio Dilex because it is a good holster and I have the Dilex case / holster combo for my Nexus 6, which I like.
This fits really well, almost like it is made for it. There is absolutely no slop or wiggle when the case is clamped in and it passes the shake test without moving a bit. The side flange is below the power button, so it does not inadvertently turn off your phone when you sit down with it (I am talking to you Nexus 6 Seidio Dilex case). An added bonus is that the phone will actually go into the case screen out, something the rounded back Nexus 6 got me used to not having. I don't wear it this way, but it is nice to have it screen out if it is sitting on the desk.
This is a pricey holster ($23.99 on Amazon), but if you need a holster (you know who you are) then you should give this one a shot. I have heard that Seidio is going to be coming out with Nexus 6P cases, but I honestly prefer the Spigen cases to the Seidio cases anyway, all I need from Seidio is a holster.
I had pretty much the same idea/combo on my Nexus 5. Spigen Rugged Armor case and a HTC EVO LTE Dilex holster. This is very tempting.
it's hard to tell from the pics, but does the clamp sit flush on the phone? i tried the iphone 6+ surface holster and the clamp stayed open just a touch, making me nervous that it would release at some point inadvertently with just the slightest brush against it

Here are some side profiles with the holster empty and the close up of the clamp on the phone. I wish I was taking these with the Nexus 6P because they would be a lot sharper! The clamp holds it really well.
I also did a quick shake test with the holster and put it on Youtube. Forgive the lack of effort in the video!

yep that's a perfect fit alright. thanks!
Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered mine on Amazon. Saved $6 than buying it direct from Seidio, and the Prime Seller offered another 5% off
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.

I bought this 3 years ago. It will fit any phone, phone/mod out there. I got tired of snapping off the otterbox holster clips getting in and out of the car.
