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.

Thanks for this:good: been looking for something like this, I ended up buying this cheapo one for about 6 bucks on ebay for the time being that works pretty well but the case looks ugly.

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.
"The SURFACE™ with Metal kickstand is the right case for those who want a slim case with functional features, such as a metal kickstand. Familiar features, such as our soft-touch coating and slide-in design, enhance the look and protect your Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

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.
Anyone know of any waterproof cases like the Otterbox preserver or lifeproof being developed for the Note 4? Anyone know of any waterproof bags or pouches that will fit the note 4? Or even works/seals out water?
I ordered an ipad mini waterproof bag/pouch that should be arriving today. I'll update when I get a chance to try it out. That seems to be the only option so far for making the Note 4 waterproof.

There are plenty of options for pouches out there without having to resort to one made for an iPad Mini. A quick search on Amazon will bring up several of them. Here are two of them:
JOTO Universal Waterproof Case Bag
Says it fits the Note 4, and it has great reviews.. Since there are several reviews that mention that it fits the Note 3 (without a case), I would wager that it does work with the Note 4 (also without a case).
DandyCase Waterproof Case
That one fits the Mega, so it should have no problem with the Note 4. Great reviews too.

I have an otterbox defender on my note 4. So the total length goes up to 6.5" x 3.75" approximately. My ipad mini waterproof pouch just came. My phone is mostly usable even with the pouch. There's a slight problem with being able to push the side volume and power buttons, as well as pulling down the notification shade. I think it's due the tightness/taughtness of the plastic - there's no slack.
I might try a pouch made for 7" tablet, instead of an 8"-incher. It'll be a tight fit and probably have even more tightness issues. All of the other pouches, even for the Galaxy Mega 6.3", were too small for my Note 4 with my otterbox on.
A waterproof case like the Otterbox Preserver would be best.

Gotcha. In your original post, you didn't say that you were looking for something that would fit the Note 4 with an Otterbox Defender, rather that you were looking for something to fit the Note 4. That's why I posted those links. Thanks for clarifying your needs. Knowing all of the details is important for people as they try to help.

This what i ordered and arrived today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L1R5UPG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It's unusable because it's a little too big and the backside is opaque.

Not a case I would trust my phone to. Reviews for their other cases are poor, citing an inability to use the phone while it's in the case.
I don't think any phone can be used, with a waterproof case or pouch that has a touchscreen. Capacitive touchscreens use small electrical currents if I'm not mistaken, and when wet, the screen on any waterproof device goes weird. I have the Gear 2 which is water resistant, and I can't use the screen when it has water on it otherwise it goes all weird

There are actually many waterproof cases and pouches that are designed so that you can use your smartphone's touchscreen. In fact, essentially all of the good quality ones allow that. Of course, when the screen protector on the case gets wet, it can be difficult to use the screen for the reason you mentioned. But when dry, a waterproof case of any decent quality will still allow you to use the screen.
Bring up the post.. hopefully there will be many waterproof case coming [emoji1]

Hello all,
I recently switched to a note 4 from an iPhone 6. Android is just a better bet for me, however I purchased the iPhone 6 silicone case made by Apple. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MGQH2ZM/A/iphone-6-silicone-case-productred
I was hoping someone could point me in a direction of a similar case for the note 4. The thinness and texture of that case were ideal for me. Any suggestions or leads would be great. Thank you all in advance. And if I offended anyone by posting an apple product I apologize, it was only used a point of reference. Cheers and the note 4 is amazing!
There are not many cases available for the Note 4 right now, it's still a pretty new phone.
Have you seen the Samsung S-View covers? I know they're not what you're looking for, but they are high quality and add functionality to the phone!
iR¡[email protected]!* from i9505 via Tapatalk 4
Spiegen make a great range of cases for the Note 4, specifically the hybrid types, check ebay and Amazon
The tech21 is very slim, and you like. Fits the phone like a glove and has some reported drop protection in the corners.
It's expensive though $35, and only available at the tmobile stores right now
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried the s-view cases on the note 3 and it just wasn't for me. A great case though. My wife actual uses one on her note 4.
I right now have a spigen case on. I think it's an ultra hybrid. It's decent but not something I'll keep long term. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I also haven't seen the tech21, I'll have to get out to the store and check it out. Thanks for the suggestions to all and if you run across any silicone cases please let me know. Cheers!
I love the Seidio Surface case/holster combos (Best Buy sells them as Platinum). I've had one for every phone I've owned since the Evo 4G. I just got a V10, and I'm kind of bummed they haven't made one for it yet. They also make holsters for naked phones (no Surface case); with the V10 being fairly tough, I was thinking of just going that route (plus, I just switched to Jump on Demand, so since I won't have to sell my phone when I'm done with it, I don't care if it gets a few scuffs ). But alas, no naked holster is available either.
I'm upgrading from a Note 4, and I decided what the heck, let's see if it's a close fit or not. And what do you know, it's a perfect fit! Keep in mind, this is the holster from the Note 4 Surface case/holster combo - the holster is made to fit a Note 4 in a Surface case. This likely won't work with the holster for a naked Note 4 or a Note 4 Dilex holster (probably too big). I have attached photos of the fit (sadly taken from my work iPhone 5 - I could have really used the V10's camera in this low light). It may seem from the photo that the latch is loose, but I can assure you, it holds the phone very securely (I've been walking around with it for a week now). I'll post a video when I get off the road that will show how tight it is. That said, I'm not taking any responsibility if your phone falls out
Normally these combo sets run $40. But right now Best Buy is clearing them out for $16:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/platinu...lack/9946123.p?id=1219452921267&skuId=9946123
Just throw away the case and you've got your holster!

IPhone 6+ holster combo from best buy is even better no gap at the top see pictures. On sale for $16
That looks really nice!

I got the Note 4 belt clip, works great. My Note 3 clip was too small.
Does it only come in black? Yes, heading over to the Seidio site to go look for myself, just asking here.
mea cupla, didn't read the entire thread. I see what you're talking about.
I picked up the iPhone 6 Plus holder mentioned above at Best Buy today for $16. It is indeed a better fit. Now I can sell the old holster when I sell my Note 4
Thank you so much for sharing this. Not even sure I want this phone yet, but holsters are a must for me! Seidio holsters are my go to brand and this is exactly the info I wanted to see.
Like the title says will my old Z-Flip 3 cases fit the Z-Flip 4?
My Samsung Aramid case fits, but has a slight misalignment over the flash module.
My case fits on Flip 4 too, just as good as on Flip 3 5G.

Interesting case. is it as chunky as it looks though?
Im sure it will "fit" like most samsung cases they make slight changes each gen to make them not fit perfect. Have run into this issue going from s20fe to s21fe.

Haha this was the first hinge protective case I found as I was pretty scared to skateboard tricks without a hinge protected case (for example before this I had the default white silicone case by Samsung).
When the black case is open, the hinge protector protrudes as much as the part with the supportive 'leg', say 3 mm.
Material feels rubberised plastic, and the black one is pitch black color. I paid Ali shipping, and they sent the case by DHL, so 1 week to NL.
I never dropped Flip 3 5G or 4 ... the case (both) make the phone sit good in hand. Without a case ... both phones felt very 'slippery'.
It can fit, but it is slightly off and can press on one of the side buttons a little which may cause it to change the screen oddly like some kind of looping ( I read) so they removed the flip3 case from the flip4 and the looping stopped

I've found the bottom right lip of the top part of the case (below power button) doesn't grip the body properly so the case keeps pinging off. Really annoying Samsung haven't made one for the Flip 4. The closest I can find is from Latercase.
While the Flip 3 cases will fit, the charging port and flash do not completely align. Everything what seems to fit flawlessly.
They wouldn't make it 100% compatible at risk of losing precious $$
My official samsung leather flip 3 case while fits the flip 4 has volume rocker issues which render it useless. Not really caring as samsung offered 900 buck for it so I ended paying 150 for the flip 4 but it came with a rubbery case with a loop and I got the awesome bud pro 2, which is really what I wanted anyway, Gonna sell the flip 4 as I have an s22 ultra. I just wanted the buds.
