Official Sprint Cases

The Sprint store near me just got a 2-pack of Diamond cases within the last couple days. It contains a clear plastic snap-on hard case and a grippy silicon case with ridges in it. I picked one up today and am using the silicon case. I like it because it is a nice snug fit compared to some silicon cases I have used for other phones. Some people won't like it because it is the same color as the Sprint battery cover (which I, personally, kinda like). The price of the pack was 20 bucks.
Anyway, just wanted to spread the word in case anyone is interested.

how bout some pics to go with those words my friend?

I had been waiting for this Otterbox for a LONG time!
Was looking forward to the Seidio Active X case, but NOTHING that Seidio makes is even close to Otterbox quality.
Just ordered my Epic Commuter case for $24 with free prime shipping! I'll post a review when it arrives!

Damn this a good looking case. Hope someone reviews it when they receive one.

Nice, I am going to pick one up as soon as get on Amazon.

Doesn't seem like you can access keyboard in case............. I hope I am wrong.

The Otterbox Q&A section says the keyboard is accessible.

i wonder if its thin enough to use with the dock... probably not.

No case will work with the Samsung Media dock. It was made for a case-less Epic!
Plus, the Otterbox Commuter cases are similar to the Seidio Active X, where they have the silicone inner layer and hard plastic outer shell. They are bulkier than most cases......

Wish they had gotten this out sooner, with a holster combo.
I'm a big fan of Otterbox...
dropped a Bberry from my roof to the concrete below once and it didn't even leave a mark on the case let alone harm the phone (defender series on an old 8330).
But I've already settled into my active X combo now.. Perfectly happy with it.

active x
I too am a fan of the otterbox cases, though not necessarily the prices they charge, however the new commuter style case looks like it will be pretty sweet. I had just ordered a seidio active x case 2 days before the otterbox became available. It arrived this past monday or tuesday and all I can say is wow! It is an awesome case, even though i am one who has been vary picky about which cases i choose for my epic due to thickness/bulk concerns. To my surprise though the seidio active x doesn't bother me at all, it simply makes the phone look and feel more like the high-end device that it is. I've read so many reviews where people compare the evo and the epic and they always mention that the evo feels more like a flagship device than does its 4g cousin the epic. But this all changes as soon as you put an epic in the seidio active x case. I can only hope that the otterbox commuter case is as good and hopefully better than the active x. Regardless though, i guess i will have both so it doesn't really matter which one is better... i just hope that the otterbox is designed well and does not create the screen wobble that so many badly designed cases do with the epic - you know the "wobble" that is created when the clips that hold the cases on the epic are to bulky and create a permanent space between the screen and the keyboard panels.

I just got confirmation that my Otterbox Commuter case from Amazon has been shipped today and I should receive it by Friday!
I just checked amazon again, and sadly they have raised the price from $24 + free shipping to $34 + shipping!
I hope everyone got one when they were cheaper! I will post a full review when i get it!

I paid $29.95 on ebay after I noticed amazon raised their price.

Me too, should be here tomorrow.

Update:
So I just received the otterbox case today in the mail. It is nice but I am still trying to decide how I like it compared to the Seidio active x case. I will say that I do not like the top piece that clips onto the screen. It feels and looks kind of cheap, plus it doesn't fit that well because it kind of hangs on the case when closing the keyboard. However, if you are like me and decided to order the seidio active x case because you didn't like waiting on the otterbox to get in stock, then the top piece from the active x actually fits and looks better with the otterbox bottom than the top piece that comes with the otterbox case.
anybody else try this combination and come to the same conclusion?

I too have both cases and while I do agree that the otterbox top piece "feels" cheaper I do like that it is slightly recessed near on one side so you can easily access the keys on the number row of the qwerty keypad. I tried using the other piece from the seidio active x case with the otterbox bottom and while it does LOOK nicer I prefer function over appearance any day.
All in all I think both of the cases are quality products I think that the Otterbox case will hold up longer over time due to not nearly as much stress is put on the rubber pieces because it's covered more by the hard plastic. The Otterbox Commuter is also slightly thinner than the active X case. However the Seidio Active X case would win in a beauty contest any day of the week.
Otterbox
Pros:
+ Comes with screen protector (can't comment on quality of protector because I'm using my Realook one)
+ Thinner than Seidio Active X (Feels closer to thickness of Seidio Surface Innocase)
+ Recessed portion on side of trim ring so you can access number keys easier
+ Flap covers headphone jack when not in use
+ Better Warranty compared to Seidio (1 year vs 6 months)
+ Longer and thicker clips appear to be able to hold up longer
Cons:
- Feels "plasticy" and cheap
- Although the surface on the back is textured it is still slick and your phone would slide if you left it on your dash
- More expensive than Seidio Active X (comparing using current amazon.com prices)
Seidio Active X Case
Pros:
+ Soft Rubberized coating makes the case look and feel superior
+ Case is molded to fit in your hand without slipping
+ Less expensive than Otterbox
Cons:
- No screen protector
- Thicker than Otterbox
- Shorter and thinner clips hold case to phone are easier to break whenever you have to remove the case

I just got my Otterbox today, and I actually like the way the rubber case from Sprint felt in my hands, I feel this case will slip easily just typing since their is no rubber grip besides the buttons.

I'm actualy glad you posted your feedback. I beieve I was a little hasty to render judgement on the top peice because I too noticed how the active x was thicker and while it provides better screen protection, anyone with an epic has littl to worry about thanks to samsung's use of corning gorrilla glass in the galaxy s series of phones. I've been using the otterbox top all day and I do like the slimmer profile it provides. I'm sure ill switch off between the cases from time to time but both are top notch quality. I haven't had any problems yet with the seidio soft-touch starting to peel off like others have noted but I will keep a lookout for it. I will comment later on the screen potector if I decide to put it on, however if its anything similar to the one that came with my ipad case then it is top quality with zero screen distortion.

[Q] Clip on holster case?

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.
http://www.seidioonline.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-s/9431.htm

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.

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.

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.

Looking for stand alone holster suggestions.

There's a few times in the past where I have used different cases that I really liked with a holster since there was not a matching holster with the case.
Looks like I'm going to run in the same situation here and was wondering if anybody had a good line of holster vertical or horizontal that they would recommend.
I'd prefer something with a rotating belt clip on it.
Thank you.

Pouch with a belt clip? So like an old Blackberry one? I have a pouch from Begoos on Etsy and its great, but it doesn't have a belt clip.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for but here is one I bought..... I posted it in a thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/dragonfly-universal-nylon-mobile-phone-t3289056

Search in Etsy. They have plenty of handmade pouches.

I should have said Holster I guess, but I figured folks would point me to case/holster combos. You know, like this...
http://www.amazon.com/TMAN-Leather-holster-Huawei-itself/dp/B0160LAOTO/
Sorry for the confusion, was a crazy night, let me update the OP.

Bump

This is the case/holster combo i use. Not the leather-y pouch like you linked, but i'm more of a fan of something more solid protecting the phone.
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio®-SURFA...id=1453249758&sr=1-3&keywords=seidio+nexus+6p

Thanks, I've sworn off of Seidio though. Cheap holsters that the clips break off of all the time, horrible customer service, and other issues I've had with them. I've found some excellent cases for the 6P, just need a holster to put it in. The TUDIA OMNIX is the one I'm trying to find a holster to fit right now.

Here's another one,: Encased Spring Holster.
Not sure on the quality, but I do highly recommend Seidio products though.

That looks very interesting. I did buy the Seidio one similar to that one for my Nexus 6P though . I bought the one for the iPhone 6 Plus. The fit wasn't perfect but very close. I stopped using it after my phone popped out once. The clip also cracked the top of my IntelliArmor TGSP.

That's interesting. I've been using the Seidio surface holster made for the iCrap 6+ with the Nillkin Nature case without any issues or the device popping out. The clip is flat on top of the device and not at an angle suggesting the device is too tall for the holster.

I'd never use Seidio products again. Terrible customer service/support, and the clips for the holsters break like candy.

This is great! i was looking for one of these when i got my phone when it launched. Gave up on looking for one after a couple weeks though. Just placed an order for this one. Thanks!!!

I broke the holster to my case when it got caught on a chair and broke the left side support. The holster is the type where the phone slides in vertically bottom to top. I don't like the type where the phone snaps into the holster or leather pouches.
Does anyone know if you can buy the holster ONLY - NO CASE for the nexus 6p?
I need a holster cover with swivel clip. I don’t care if it is made by same manufacturer as my current generic soft lining and hard plastic shell case. I have searched ebay, amazon and other sites in google but could only find replacement holsters if I buy another case. I have four different cases already so I am sure I can find one to fit the holster.
I have checked out options in this thread but checking if there are other ideas.

I have the same Nillkin case - is the Seidio holster you're using the one for an "uncased" iphone 6+ (http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Spring-Clip-Holster-Non-Cased-iPhone/dp/B00OBWMSBW) or did it come with the iphone 6+ case? Thanks in advance

Using the Seidio surface case holster.

Ditto on Seidio holsters breaking. I had theirs for my previous phone and wouldn't recommend it. Their design is flawed. I had an encased holster for my S6 and it worked really well. Design was probably one of the better.

Bump. I'm looking for something similar. Problem is that most of the pouches I find online are cheap and will eventually tear or break somehow.

any belt clip/holsters available?

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.
Just wondering if anyone had one and what they thought of it.

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

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 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.

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.
