Which is the best case for the Nexus One that provides decent protection without the added bulky feel? Also isn't a dust/lint magnet, with a good grip.
So far I think Case Mate provides the best protection but it adds a little bulk, Seidio Innocase II might provide good protection without adding too much bulk.
Any recommendations?
That's a little too shiny for my taste, I'm looking for matte finish.
How is the Google Nexus One Barely There compared to Seidio Innocase II?
Case-Mate Google Nexus One Gelli Case
Innocase™ II Surface - Black
Google Nexus One Barely There Cases
Which one of these 3 are the best? I had 2 cases from ebay, one was like the gelli case and looked like it was too tight made it difficult to use the power/on/off button. The other one came and cracked from the side and broke off. So I'm looking for a reliable case.
OMG there are like 10 threads similar to this already. Use search.
I got the Seidio Innocase II and its great! Amazon had it for 16 or 17 bucks.

I have the barely there and I really like it a lot. at first I was skeptical as it looks like.....well it looks like it's barely there . I stuck with it though and I've had it on as my only case for about 2 months. Dropped the phone about 3 times and never had a problem. Granted I never dropped it on cement or asphalt, but hard wood floors aren't forgiving either.
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

The EVO 3d I'm using as a temp while I wait for my 4 is small enough to comfortably put in my pocket. My Note 2 was not. and the 4 is bigger...
I have been a fan of the Seido Surface cases in the past but the one weak point is the belt clip.
I've broken so many of them that it's ridiculous. I went through 4 holsters in 2 years on my Note 2 alone.
And I do not even want to add up the holsters on prior phones..
I need something metal that can take a small bump. I'd like a semi thin case like the surface but the holster has to be strong.
Can anyone recommend a sturdy clip on holster case?
Have you thought of moving to a leather holster case? I was in the same boat until I went to a leather combo with a metal clip.

I have tried some holster cases but they were either to clumsy to retrieve and store from quickly , or the clips were terrible like the rest.
Since I have never owned an Otter box I cant speak factually, but they have always seemed so bulky and the poly clip looks the same as the rest. Are the clips actually more durable compared to say the Seido clips?
There pretty much the same I've broke a few Otterbox's also….. Check out Turtleback Holster Leather Case fits Samsung Galaxy Note 3 without a Protective Case, interior fits 5 7/8" X 3 1/4" X 3/4" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I9LM2VW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_zlcnub0RDDPV2
Although they're not yet released Seidio has several models available w/ holster.

I love the Seidio case/holster combos! (Specifically the Surface with Holster) My past two phones, however, have been the slip case/holster combo sold in the Verizon store for around $24.95. The reason I went with those is two-fold: It was available right away when I purchased the phone, and it is just slim and protective enough that it doesn't make my large phone into a gargantuan phone.
My Note2 in either an otterbox defender or trident aegis case lives in one of these. It's quite adjustable. Normally I have the retention strap removed unless I know I'm going to be in odd locations and I think it may fall out, though I'd have to be upside down for that to happen, but I've found myself in that position for work sometimes... I've broken every plastic clip from three different vendors, so this was the strongest holster I could find. Pretty sure I'll break before it does.

What is the lanyard/cord for at the top? It looks easily removable but wondering what purpose it serves.

These are actually made for two way radios like military and police carry, so the strap is to keep it in place.

That link doesn't state it's for a Note 4 but the fact that it's a preorder leads me to believe it is although when you navigate to the Note 4 page on Seidio's website almost everything states "under development".
http://www.seidioonline.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-s/9431.htm
Other thing is Best Buy sells a comparable case made for them by Seidio for $20 less but they don't have them in stock yet. BB calls it a Platinum Series.

It does say for the note 4 in the description if you scroll down a bit.

Familiar features, such as our soft-touch coating and slide-in design, enhance the look and protect your Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slip the case into a secure spring-clip SURFACE™ holster for the ultimate carrying solution for your Samsung Galaxy Note 4."

Yes, I missed that. Since it's not on the Note 4 page do you know if they have a release date for the Convert Combo somewhere on their website?

I have no idea. Maybe someone can give them a call or shoot over a email asking about the convert cases for the note. I'm more into slim type cases because I think it just looks more clean and I don't like the extra bulk, I usually don't drop my phones.

I called them last week and they said there was no ETA for the Convert combo. I noticed the Surface has the release date on Seidio's Note 4 webpage and I look at it daily so I'm hoping the Convert combo gets a release date soon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MP3OWVI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3RZJ9YYQ3ASDK
If it doesn't I'm going to order the above case as it's the only one I could find with covers for the mini USB, S Pen & headphone ports with a holster but it doesn't have a kickstand. Amazon shows an ETA of 10-27 in my shopping cart so I'm holding off ordering it hoping the Seidio will become available in that time frame.
Now the other problem with the Seidio is apparently no one offers a tempered glass screen protector that covers the flat portion of the screen without the halo effect.

I was looking at the supcase also but it's the bulk that bugs me.. The note is already a big phone... I'll be using this ebay case plus clip until I get a seidio.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Black-B.../371164711314?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:1120
Not really a bad case... Just needed a belt clip for my note cuz I carry 2 phones, cigarettes, lighter, Chapstick, keys and wallet on me all the time lol. The only flaw with the ebay one is that it's not very pretty, but I'll choose that over a bulky case any day.

I've got to get something soon as I'm deathly afraid of dropping this expensive phone and damaging it. Actually I wouldn't have minded waiting another month or so to get the phone so I could have had the case beforehand but the $200 trade in deal was too good to pass up. A case with button covers is much easier for me to use too as I'm always accidentally touching the side buttons and I can grip the phone better.
So I'm about to pick up my Note 4 upgrading from an HTC One S in which I had a Ballistic case on. I absolutely loved this case more than anything because I had 110% confidence nothing would happen every single time I dropped my phone and I want this same security in my next case. What I loved about it was it wasn't bulky and I could still slip it in my pocket. This is what I'm looking for in my case for the Note 4. I want as good protection against drops as my Ballistic case had along with it being slim enough to fit in my pocket. Here's what I have so far, but I'm very open to new suggestions as long as that case you suggest is as strong as a ballistic that doesn't make my phone 6":

Verus [Heavy Drop Protection] Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Case [Thor]
UAG Slate
Thanks!
I would highly recommend the Tech 21 Impact Tactical. It's a real thick, quality tpu case with a textured surface finish. Has the D20 impactology around the edge of the case and a real good lip on the case to protect the screen. Cut outs are perfect, nice design, brilliant quality.
Really gives me the confidence that my phone will survive a substantial knock or drop. It is just thick enough to also stop the camera lense touching a flat surface when the phone is laying flat on a smooth surface.
I have a black one. Looks very stealthy.
sent from my Galaxy Note 4 using Tapatalk
I would say Spigen Tough Armor or Verus Thor.
sent from my Samsung GALAXY Note® 4
The UAG is a great case, but it's bulky and not comfortable to hold.
Uag and never look back.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4!
My 1st case for the Note 4 was the Versus Thor. I haven't thought about looking for another.
Verus Thor. The feel of the case on your note 4 will seal the deal. Bought UAG case...and tried several times to like it. Love how tight it fits on phone as it "snaps" on. But...I always end up swapping out with Verus case. Love the clean look of the Thor. More sleek. If I wanted bulky feel...I would just get Otterbox Defender and call it a day.
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
