I am looking for a belt style holster for my S5 like the one Verizon sells. However, I would like one that will turn off the screen (using the magnet?) when the phone is slipped into the holster. The Verizon holster doesn't do this. Does anyone know if such a holster exists? I have been able to find one.

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

Im looking into purchasing a leather case, but im curious if the magnet in the case can have any effect on the phone? Especially the ones in the cheap cases.
like this one... ( i cant post link)
so type
Leather Case Skin for Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G Sprint in the ebay search box and it should come up.
If anyone has any recommendations for other leather cases please let me know. Also feel free to share your experiences with leather cases.
Thank You

Havent had a problem, use a leather magnetic case from eddie bauer that I found at Best Buy mobile.
Does anybody have or use the Seidio leather case for the epic? Just wondering how well it fits the phone or how well the phone slides in and out of it. Also how easily can the magnet be clamped and unclamped while not looking at it.
I bought the bestsources (seller's name, not necessarily a description, though I've had good experiences with them ) case -- I had one for my Touch Pro, one for my N900, and now one for my Epic when it gets here.
In the meantime, I'm using the N900's case for it. Fitting, since I usually used the Touch Pro's case for the N900... :/ I wonder if I'm even going to use the Epic's case.
The magnet hasn't caused any problems at all with the Epic that I've noticed.

The leather case is designed to fit a bare device so it will slide in/out smoothly, The magnet is pretty strong but works fluently with the case.
The magnet does not affect the phone.
I bought a leather holster at the Sprint store today actually.
It has a magnet, but it is not near as strong as some of the ones I have had in the past, but it still holds the flap strong against the case.
This particular case even has the Galaxy S logo etched into the metal in the middle of the flap - yeah its sexy.
$34 at Sprint, and since its Galaxy S Branded, I think it's a good deal.
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.
I'm using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case and want to get a belt pouch or clip type holster to put it in. Hopping for something not to big. the phone is big enough.
any thoughts out there for it?

Currently have the SG4 in the Slim Armor case and it fits perfectly in this holster. They also have a vertical one if you prefer that style instead. However will mention this has a rotating clip. Bought it in the store, so if you have a Staples in your area you should be able to view in person.
