Hi all -
when I bought my Fascinate, I got the VZW holster/case combo. Unfortunately, I've gone through 3 of them because the belt clip breaks. The last time I went into the VZW store, they said they wouldn't do another replacement, so I'm looking for a good replacement. Suggestions?
Never buy anything from verizon but phones...there are a lot of solid holsters from official Samsung accessories, so look for the model you like, and go search for the same but cheaper one on Amazon or eBay.

no luck on Samsung's site....what's the general consensus about Seidio or OtterBox? Are they THAT much more robust than the competitor products? Specifically, how solid are the belt clips? I don't mind spending $50 once, but having the thing break after 2-3 months is a no-go!

Thanks Nunyazz....any comment on the questions I posed?
I've had that holster since they began offering it. It fits very snug and is very slim fitting. Fits very close to your side and rotates if needed. I love it. I had the "naked" holsters from them for the past 4 or 5 phones that I've owned.
Picked up a Seidio from Best Buy on Friday...we'll see how it holds up!
Thanks for the feedback guys
Does anyone know if theres an outward facing holster?
I just posted on this in the bike mount mod thread in the same forums:
I use the Otter Box defender case/clip combo. The clip can be used either way, with the screen facing in (very protected) or with it facing out(to use like a dock). On top of that the clip piece locks into full open position, allowing you to use it as a stand. Handy if you want to sit on the desk and have it maintain orientation, and also when using an alarm clock.
The case itself is also pretty resilient. I work for GeekSquad, and after hours one night I literally threw my phone across the 20,000sqft store to see how the case would hold up. No damages at all. Brilliant.
Another cool feature is the non slip silicone outer layer. When I am rolling around in my Jeep, I can plug the phone into my audio aux in, and throw it onto a seat or the center console, and it never slips around.
I know I probably sound like a crazed fanboy, but I am very impressed with the case/clip and have had it for about a month.
I would post a link but apparently I cannot until I make eight posts. Google Otterbox, their site is easy enough to navigate.

I bought mine from Amazon. Very nice and sturdy, and only cost me $8. The brand escapes my mind right now, but just search Fascinate Holster and it's like the first or second one on the list.

I've purchased 4 of these for the 4 Fascinates my family and I have. They are great and we have no complaints. My son it pretty rough on his stuff and it has held up thus far. We got them in November.
I find it easy to slide thee phone in and out of, and it give the phone a bit more bulk and texture.
Look up the "Superior OEM for Samsung i500 Fascinate Shell Holster Combo Pack" on Amazon. This forum will not let me post a link for some reason. They are less than $10.

That's the one I have. I've had it for a few months now and I love it. Couldn't stand putting my phone in my pocket, I had to have the holster.
Had the OEM one for a year now and just a about 2 months ago busted the clip off, but i can still snap it back together, which has gotten be this far but the silly thing keep snapping off at the slightest touch...
will have to try out that naked carrier next
tried a little while carrying the phone in my pocket, fits nicely into the carpenter pants slot on the right leg side, but not so nice in any other pocket
I use a Comp-Tac M-TAC holster for my daily carry... oh wait, you mean phone?
Cargo pocket on my pants/shorts.
Anyone found a suitable armband to go running/work out in while keeping my lovely g2x safe and sound from falling out or getting my sweat all over?
or if you have a universal sized armband and are having success with your g2x in it please do share your experiences!

yea i looked at those armbands that are on amazon and I am not too wild about them... right now my biggest candidate is the adidas miCoach armband...

though it is nylon and i dont know how i feel about nylon... i would prefer neoprene...
looking for an armband as well. All I saw were those few amazon entries and one bad review that said the phone sticks up above the cover. I might go to target and try a bunch for the iphone.

Well I am going to take one for the team, I ordered the one that amazon has listed with the ONE bad review... for 17 bux shipped so its whatever...
i went to best buy today and opened a bunch of boxes of stuff and nothing seemed to really fit... i tried the miCoach for the IP4 and it was a huge fail
I pondered using my tunebelt from my nexus one and just getting a different silicone case but with the phone being as big as it is and 12 grams heavier that it may be a little too flimsy and flopping around for my liking...
I want something with the form factor that the amazon armbands or miCoach has where the phone fits into a sleeve and wont flop around... assuming the phone does not stick out literally an inch and the phone will stay in when I am jogging or doing plyometrics, i will be happy with my purchase...
full review to come when i get it...
Thanks looking forward to the review.

What case do you have?
I want to have a good case that hopefully also fits in a good armband
Let me know if you find a good combination please I'd appreciate it
Here is a list of armbands I found on Amazon, I think the only solution would be to buy a an armband not designed specifically for the G2X and see which one adapts the best

Thanks for your upcoming review I appreciate that
Ok so here is my review of the VanGoddy Armband for the G2x/O2X/EVO4g/Atrix/any other giant ass phone!
(Picture album is linked on the bottom of the post)
First off I would like to state what sort of view I am coming from as to eliminate any bias by stating my biases from the get go. I am a slim, athletic body type, 14 inch biceps, 6 foot, 160 pounds. I typically will be doing a lot of running with this device and I referee soccer and will often strap it on while I run a game so I can track my positioning, distance, ect. so I wanted a band that would not be too gaudy and I could hide a bit under my sleeves (underarmor and uniform sleeves). Since again running was my main use with some use in the gym I wanted stability while holding the device so it was not sliding around, flopping around or possibly flying out of the pocket. The other main feature I was looking for was material quality and anybody that works out knows neoprene is clutch especially for people who sweat a large amount, like myself, when I work out or go running. Tad bit of personal information for ya there!
The unboxing and first impressions: VanGoddy shipped it in a bubble wrap envelope, nothing fancy and the item did not need anything fancy. Right away when I looked the thing over I could tell that the pocket to hold the phone looked a tad large for my phone and that the plastic screen was cheap and small. Just putting the armband on, I put it on as tight as I could get the velcro to go and it was a perfect fit, very snug and even tighter when I flexed how my arms would be while running.
Upon slotting the phone in I noticed two things, the clear screen cover does in fact suck, and the phone will fall out of the slot naturally. The device was definitely made with a "universally wide" pouch and I would argue favors the wider phones such as the Atrix, Evo4g and DX; our slim phones got the shaft in this design. I put the armband back on, tightened up, even loosened it a hair from where I had it last time and boom! it actually felt pretty good. Swinging my arm around the phone was pretty snug, I could not get it to fall out regardless of what I was doing which earned it some "do points" in the do or die ratings! I would clear this for use in the gym for bench pressing and doing other strange arm angle lift routines.
Onto the screen cover. This was my biggest grip with this thing. You do not get a lot of cover real estate to work with and the way the cover was stitched into the armband was absolutely thoughtless because it does not even come close to sitting flush with the screen. The part that is stitched around the screen on the outside is a flexible plastic and on the inside they overlapped material so that the screen is not sitting against the plastic cover screen. (See picture overlap flap) This caused another problem that annoyed me a little, if the phone shifted in the slot too much to one way or the other the edge of the phone would get caught on one of these flaps on the inside around the screen edge and offset the phone. It did this twice during my little 3 mile jog while I was trying to skip a song. Getting to the notifications bar while in the slot is damn near impossible, I had no trouble hitting the softkeys but the notification bar is inaccessible. This is partly due to the long "ass" our phones have so the top part of our screens will not be within the clear cover's viewing range.
I did and do not play with the phone much while running because I have very satisfying playlists. Handling touches through the screen was about on par with other covers of similar thickness. I did not really have a problem executing touch commands but changing the volume was a little weird since I had to essentially just squeeze and guess where the volume buttons were on the side. On the bright side, because the screen is not very tight to the screen and the neoprene resists water, I never noticed the screen to fog up on me.
All in all for $17 something cents shipped this is not a terrible armband by any means. It is no 30-40 dollar custom phone fitting armband but it is not so cheap that I just pitched it laughing at what I bought, I would say I got what I paid for and maybe a bit more. Score wise I would give this guy a 7/10. It is good but it definitely has some shortcomings. If you are skinny and dont have at least a 13inch bicep I would not recommend you purchase this device, for fear of it sliding off of your arm. Get used to running with this on your left arm, I found the cord positioning much better and it was getting tangled less around my arm.
Some things I would have liked to see and would be a more quality screen cover. A bit more velcro (one more inch) to possibly go tighter for maybe some more extreme sports or intense working out and for smaller biceps. A slot for a Key is always a nice addition but I usually find a place in whatever pair of shoes I have; sliding it behind the phone you would risk it flying out, I would bet money that it flies out on smaller biceps.
If you are looking for something to get the job done then this is the device for you because it does exactly that. It does not do it extremely well, wow, or impress me in any way but it for 17 bucks it served my needs. Again 7/10 from me...

I will post if they are kosher and perfectly suited for this phone upon arrival...
Pouches are a bit of a pain, and I like the "snap, and pop" of quick access to the phone (as I FW all calls from my work phone).
I also just bought one should be here Friday HOPEFULLY
Cant wait to see if its as good as it looks

Sweet! All I need now is a beer gut and a tucked in shirt to go with my new belt holster, all the 40+ year olds will be red with envy
You bet'cha! Keys in one picket, Large battery eCig mod in the other. The phone would kind of get scratched in either.
Now IF I got a pocket protector... hmmmm.
Quick access to the phone, as I FW: all IT support call calls to my cell, and am a former Nextel user, it only makes since.
Pouches are a bit "iPhruity"-er... No quick access to PR0N.
Hahahaa. My beer-gut matches other people's "Trailer-Mom's"...
Oh, and you ARE welcome.
http://www.cellphoneshop.net/t839holster.html
They are on sale for $1.39 right now!!!
I don't know what shipping would be, but $1.39 sounds good, and this is the same one as I got 3/$20 for off of eBay, I wish I saw them here BEFORE buying off of eBay.
The only issue is that they are Screen-Out clips, but they work pretty well screen in and it does not touch the screen surface.
I thought they would be crap, but it turns out that they are built pretty solid, but do tend to spin even with the ratcheting swivel. I did superglue mine sideways as I have on every other belt clip I have ever owned (from Nextel days until now).
Sweet, this'll help me save money for juice for my eCig

after seeing a coworker's Bionic (lucky bastard ) which had the same style case with kickstand (apparently they sell those at the verizon store) I bought one from amazon as well. It should be coming tomorrow, so hopefully I can give a more thorough review. I've been looking for a kickstand case for a while, and none have been even remotely slim except this one.
just got this case. From what i can tell... it checks all the right boxes for a case. its light, its thin, its slightly soft but still durable, and most importantly, IT HAS A KICKSTAND. My only concern is the durability of the kickstand as it seems like the hinges and movable parts feel flimsy even though the rest of the case feels solid. On the plus side there are no folding plastic bits which you know will eventually snap.
Bad ass case, I love it. I had it for my Droid 2, Fascinate and my Charge.
I have one. I love it, and the kickstand is pretty sweet feature for watching stuff at lunch break in the conf room.
I broke off my clip eventually as I am always catching it on something while getting in and out of equipment and my desk chair. (kinda a wide ass). I super glued it back on with some Barn's FSA Adhesive and it's back in business.
Best case/holster I have had of all time.
It's pretty good for all of the reasons already stated, but my only complaint is that it's kind of a pain to get the case off if you're a guy like me who needs to remove it twice a day in order to switch batteries. That's all.
I have it
I got mine in a package deal when I purchased my phone. I love it, keep the phone nice and secure. I love belt clips, especially when you can rotate it. Sometimes I clip it to my messenger bag to catch videos of my bike rides. Once you start using the kick stand, you can't go back. Get it from verizon so if it breaks, they will provide you with a replacement.
Is it really made by Samsung? I need one of the "holster" with clip, so that I could use it while at the gym.
I just bought a new spare of these holsters from Amazon for $6.00. I go through a couple a year and don't want to come up short.
These are the Verizon ones and are pretty nice.

Dam.sweet ass case
I got this the other day from Amazon. It's a great value at around 8 bucks. I'm enjoying it So far.
Can someone recommend a bike mount compatible note 4, preferably under 20$ ?
I bought this one from Ebay, but the phone fell twice. The mount itself is very sturdy, but phone grip is poor. Fortunately the phone was inside Samsung protective case, so no harm done.
Many bike mounts are not big enough for large phones like note 4, so looking for suggestion if anybody is using a good quality one, which can hold the phone securely even on bumpy roads.
I've been looking for one too, and there are options on Amazon, but I'm considering just fab-ing my own with some metal I've got lying around.

Seidio:

But you'd have to be using one of their case/holster combinations, or get the holster for the caseless Note 4:
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4-spring-clip-holster-black-p/hlssgt4as.htm
and assuming you'd want the phone 'face out' you'd need to check that it can be secured in the holster that way round, as I believe these are designed for 'face in' usage.

Seidio is pure garbage. I had their Convert case w/ belt clip holster and the holster detached from the belt clip at the slightest pressure falling to the ground. Seidio Customer Service stated it was due to the size of the N4, funny I have no such problems w/ my Otterbox Defender. The Convert case itself is pure garbage too, the rubber outercover that goes over the Surface case is designed so poorly designed every time you use the fingerprint scanner it moves off the lip of the phone & the composition of the way too soft rubber is a dirt/lint magnet.
As far as buying anything from Seidio's online store read the thread I started about it. Worst experience I've ever had by far purchasing anything online. I paid for the freight to send back my Convert Add On Kit & Seidio refunded zero so now I have to initiate a chargeback w/ the bank that issued the credit card used to pay for it. And that was after I jumped through all the hoops they require to return something and after they issued an RMA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/dont-want-to-buy-seidios-webstore-t3036913
Seidio has pure garbage products & the worst imaginable customer treatment and hassle to try to return something.
I used this Arkon Mega Grip in my car for several years/phones (incl. N4) and they make a bike mount for it. I can't vouch for the bike mount but I can say the spring loaded Mega Grip arms do hold the phone securely & I would think the elastic bungee would make certain the phone stays on the mount. It will be cheaper on Amazon.

I use one of these on my motorcycle
http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/
I have always used the German made Herbert Richter brand of car holders. They are well made and last forever though I have never used their bike mount
After trying couple of them from from Ebay, I decided to make one of my own using some plastic and parts salvaged from the ebay ones.
It looks a bit ugly but does its job.

Lol. Worlds first ever Bike Phaser! Hope its set to stun!!!
Seriously though that is awesome job dude. I'm thinking of making my own as well because all the other ones just don't look that safe to me for mountain biking.

I didn't see it that way before, but now that you mentioned, it looks a lot something like that.
I feel a lot safer biking with this one. I dropped my phone twice with other commercial mounts.
although they have been sold out for a while, this one from amazon works really well. i've fallen off my road bike 3 times and it held up 100%. the case is easily detachable. and touch screen works well with the clear cover.
the only thing i wish it did, was to have a slot for the light sensor so that i can answer phone calls on speakerphone and not have the screen always go black. besides that, it's great.
I use this one:
http://www.amazon.com/GreatShield-Clip-Grip-Handlebar-BlackBerry-Smartphones/dp/B00FA892IS/
Don't ride a very rough route to work but have not had my phone fall out. I also have just a flip case on the phone.
Slip Grip is the best, I have used them since my Droid Incredible days. They are custom molded to each phone and each case available for it. If the case is not listed email them and they will let you know which one has the precise dimensions to fit like a glove.
Slip Grip Galaxy Note 4
Note: I am paranoid and still use a bit of velcro to double secure the phone when mountain biking.

I use my note with the samsung original protective cover http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Protective-Cover/dp/B00NP3K8Y2 and I'm looking for a better option than the ones I have (see below). The Ibera case seems large enough, but its still sold out and I can´t find in any of the amazon European locations - but it does seem like a very good option.
I have something like this, which works well, but ist as little on the tight side.

and recently bought this, but this case is tighter than the pannier bag, so I'll be selling it

I use the topeak 6" drybag

Fully waterproof, allows use of the screen, power button and home button. Also allows me to keep my phone in the Spigen slim armour case inside the drybag. There are several fixing types available, I've got mine strapped to the stem with the fixing which came with the bag.
Been looking for similar products. Thanks for these product ideas!
