Just picked up the phone and I am looking for a good case. I always keep phone on the hip, wondering if there is a good holster case for the phone that isn't too bulky. I've never been a huge fan of Otterbox cases but if that's all that is both durable and a holster I guess I will consider it.

Supcase makes a decent one that is thinner than the otterbox. The only downsides of that I've seen is that no matter which way you put the phone in the holster, the volume buttons can be pressed. The advantage I see with the otterbox if that the phone can be locked in screen out and the holster used as a kickstand. I personally prefer the otterbox but you will pay more. And the otterbox when I looked was only available from Motorola and otterbox.
Try seidio. They have one that I use and have used for years for different phones. The one for the Moto x pure edition makes the phone less slippery to me. I usually buy an extra holster because I am hard on them and the spring clip breaks eventually.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't think Seidio made for the 2015, but will look again. I've always had pretty good luck with their products. Will compare that and the Otterbox if I can find it.

Seido does make one. They sell the case and holster both individually and as a combo
Supcase holster and case can be modified actually . I just took a hack saw to the other tab that would cover the volume and power keys . The only downside is you are left releasing the phone from one side only and in one orientation . If this isnt a problem for you . Then this will be a fix for you . Also removal of the built in screen shield is a pain in the ass . Otherwise I love mine since I modified it
Good to hear that there are cases available. Do any of them work with a GPS type mount for a car? Not sure if one even exists that fits the phone either way.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Not sure about GPS mounts. I've seen a few that claim to work with phones with 6 inch screens (i.e. Nexus 6) and they might be big enough.
For the car, check out the arkon MG279.
Holsters
I use a NiteIze holster http://www.niteize.com/product/Clip-Case-Cargo-Mobile-Device-Holsters.asp - the extra tall one. I've used their other holsters for previous phones and they work quite well at protecting the phone.

^^The "double wide" works well with this phone too.
If you want to carry your phone without a case but in a holster, this Note 5 spring clip holster works great with the Moto X Pure:

So this week i'll be purchasing about three or four cheapo silicone/rubberized cases from amazon for the inspire 4G.
I will also purchase either a commuter or a case mate tough.
I'll be sure to post a comprehensive review and pictures comparing all the cases.
I need some help deciding which of the two to get though.
Commuter vs Case Mate Tough.
Opinions?
Do they both protect the camera when the phone is layed flat on a surface?
Thanks guys.
I have the case-mate tough. It protects the screen and camera when laid down flat. I like it a lot. It is very simple and the hard outer piece is nice for sliding in and out of pockets. Have not seen the commuter in person so no opinion on it.
From watching the various desire hd YouTube videos it seems they're pretty much the same except that the otterbox has the little covers for the mini USB and audio jack. I just ordered me up the case mate off at&T's website using the 25% off accessories code. Hoping for the best.

As personal preference, go with the Otterbox commuter. Its not bulky whatsoever. I'm positive you won't be disappointed.
My Commuter is the best phone case I've ever had. I'm sure the Casemate is pretty nice too.. vote with your wallet
I have both and I prefer the Otterbox because the Casemate back is more slippery. The Casemate does feel a little thinner to me. I currently don't have either on because I just love the way the phone feels =)... I'm sure I'll pay for it though.

I don't like the "Otter" logo on the back of the otter case and the fact that the buttons are covered.
Other than that I don't think I would have a preference.

I just bought the platinum series today from best buy for 35.00. I like it so far. It came with the holster and it doesn't put a lot of bulk on the phone.
UPDATE
Case holds up great. Just slipped in ice and landed on the phone. The phone did not come out the holster at all. No physical damage to the phone, but the ice did break and the phone got water damaged. I was able to exchange it at Walmart though. Seems like a good case besides no water protection lol.
Jumped the gun on the Otterbox Commuter and I have to say I really like it. It came in 2 parts, the rubber and the hard case which goes together. The volume buttom and the power button has a nice feel to them, doesnt make pushing them any harder. The screen protector that it came with was a bit smaller than the Inspire screen because the box actually says it is for Desire HD.
Going to visit mobilecity in China town today for cases, do you think Case-Mate in blue is manly? Can't post link yet.
just got my case mate tough and i love it ... the only problem i have is the volume buttons are a little harder to push but power/lock is unaffected. however that doesnt really cause a major problem for me because i use the audio manager widget most of the time

I'm upgrading to an Inspire soon and I was wondering if I should get a silicone case or a plastic case. I didn't have a case on my Aria (which I'm using right now) and the screen is shattered so I decided to buy a case. So which case is better? Which can protect the phone better and which one would you prefer (as Inspire users) looks better? Thanks

It does add some bulk. That's why I like the commuter. It doesn't have as much protection, but it also doesn't have too much bulk. It kind of meets in the middle.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
i highly recommend anything made by otterbox, everything they have gives great protection to your phone, believe me, ive dropped my phone too many times and so far nothing bad or drastic has occured.
Been using the Platinum series from best buy since the phone was released. If I'm not mistaken, it's the same as the surface combo by Seidio. Dropped it a couple of times, no damage. Screen is covered by the holster.
I personally use the qmadix case that i got from my work, and its been great coupled with my invisi-shield screen protector.

Seidio CONVERT Combo for HTC Inspire 4G
Its makes the phone huge but i drive alot and I made a clip holder in truck to use navi and music. It has 3 Layers plus the clip. I payed $50 and now it like $35 at bestbuy.
I need a really thin case. What do you guys recommend?
Posted with my model confused HTC Inspire via XDA premium.
Otterbox Defender all the way is my choice. Does make phone a little bulky but as clumsy as I am I dropped it already 3 times and as pricey as this phone is I dont care about outside looks I care about protection for it.
Otterbox all the way. I have the commuter and my first one got a crack From a nasty drop I sent one email to them and they responded immediately and within a day they had gotten me a replacement case shipped out. They have some of the best customer care I've ever seen, not to mention the case most definitely has saved my phone on a number of occasions.
Sent through the power of Cthulhu!
Otterbox commuter case is good, not too big either. The defender has more protection but it is big and bulky.
A TPU case is what I use.
The platinum case from bestbuy is only 29.99 and it does not hinder the GPS signal strength. Cases that cover the area between the flash and speaker weaken GPS signal cause the GPS radio is placed there.

I'm using the Seidio Surface case for mine and I do like it. I've had a few drops onto hardwood floor and concrete slab in the garage and it has protected it great so far. However, with the price of the otterbox down from what I remember seeing it back when I first got my phone it might be well worth it to get that one, as it's not much more than the Seidio now.
Otter box defender...hands down. My Co worker's husband was so impressed with mine, he had me order him one for his Vivid.

Yes, jay above you had it already and he hates it. It's kinda of a touchy subject with him lol. But I never bought a surface case for my devices because I hated the way they have to put on. Kinda like taking off sweats before a shower after working out lol.
But I have active cases for my Sensation, which is my wife's phone now, my Nexus 7 and before the N7 I had one for my Kindle Fire. They are all well made. Even though there's a chemical smell like it was fresh off the mold lol, it dissipates within a weeks time.
I for one can't wait for the Active combo. I love the holsters as well. Right now I am using a Gnex Seidio Surface holster with my diztronic ultra thin shell and it works, but doesn't seat to my satisfaction.

Sadly yes, the Active does not allow it for wireless charging. But I intend to use the Active case on travel. Being it airplane or train, I will be using the kickstand on those trips. And when I am traveling, I am not bringing any of my wireless chargers, so wireless charging would be a moot point.
For day to day use, I use the Cruzerlite XDA case at this point with the Surface holster, so I am good at this point.
A lot of people here might not like to hear me say it but the active can mess up your phone. Not the actives fault... I'd say its the crappy chrome bezels fault. Its pretty easy to get particles under the silicone on this case. It has great impact protection but I did get some scuffs on the bezel above the speaker after using it a week straight. Also somehow the magnet from the kickstand or something with the case pug some strange hazing that won't go away on my rear wet apply screen protector. Something to watch out for. The marks are square in shape etc. I'm hoping it will go back to normal after some time but it doesn't I can just buy a new screen protector for the back. Back to tpu with the surface holster for now.

Anyone have experience with a Ballistic Shell Gel case on a previous phone? I know it isn't available for the N4 yet but I'm torn on getting that or the Seidio Active. I don't care much for the kickstand so that's not a huge deal for me. I'm also guessing the Ballistic case won't allow wireless charging either since it looks like it has similar construction/thickness to the Seidio Active.
I think it's the metal kickstand that prevents the charging, not the extra thickness.

Comparing my ballistic galaxy nexus to the nexus 4 with active, the ballistic is much thicker! The silicone on the ballistic is thicker and so is the hard plastic. You need the convert holster if you want to use a holster with the ballistic. I have no doubt it will be an awesome case but it will not let you wireless charge.

You're gonna find dozens of different opinions on this. Everyone has different needs and preferences and few people will have used more than one case.
I've had the Diztronic TPU case. It's not bad. But being a TPU case, it's fairly bulky and I wouldn't call it pretty. I got this one a bit later: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001933/1138601-protective-pc-matte-case-for-lg-nexus-4 Looks and feels better in my opinion and is less bulky. Definitely offers less protection though, but I'm okay with that cause I just like using my phone quite a bit more with this case compared to a TPU one. Doesn't mean you will, though. There is no single best case.
I personally like the S line TPU cases found on ebay, there are only a few bucks and they provide the best overall protection + grip on the sides. Cant complain about 2 bucks.
I'm using this one and love it.

I have used a black S line TPU case from ebay since I first got my Nexus 4 a few months ago. I have dropped it on a couple of hard surfaces over time and it's faired out pretty well and I would recommend them to anyone, also great value for money.
I just got my triple armor hybrid case today and I like it a lot.it feels very comfortable in the hand. The edges aren't deep like the eagle case. Its perfect. Still waiting for my damn mybat tuff case. Its taking forever to get to me. One ended up from Cali to Chicago??? I'm the other way....in Hawaii. The other is just sitting and waiting. Usps is messing up a whole bunch of crap this month. Try the triple armor hybrid its awesome:laugh:
Absolutely love the Ringke Fusion case. It's got a plastic transparent back so you can show off the unique glass back of the Nexus 4 (which is one of the only truly unique and beautiful things about this phone.) also offers a solid amount of protection. Have dropped it a couple times.

For me this cover is one of the best available for nexus 4, there's only one defect it doesn't offer a perfect grip.
Poetic's SLIM case is also pretty awesome, and it leaves the whole screen exposed so you can swipe from the edges (e.g., in Play app). $6 at Amazon...

LOL there is that, ut I am use to the old motorola nextels. Just doesn't seem that long ago to me.
I have always preferred tpu or hybrid cases, the hybrids for the nexus 4 were lack luster at best, and out of the tpu cases I found the cruzerlite a2 to be the best. I had the driztroic but I found it to be a little to slippery with its matte finish and the buttons were a little hard to find and push.

This is the only case you will ever need, guaranteed.
It is a little high. Your paying for top of the line. Port covers, holsters, lots of unique color choices and a screen protector. The case looks well made. For me note 2 I spent over 50 for my case and holster. The one I brought was good but this one looks better. I'd consider it if it had a kick stand.
The price should come down in a few months but I don't think it's really overpriced.
Or just grab a UAG case and get similar protection for half the price (and better looks).

It's certainly pricier than other models but one thing they appear to have accounted for is the fingerprint scanner. It looks like the case is notched right below it. Fingerprint scan worked fine on my Note 4 until I threw the Spigen Tough Armor case on. Now I can't get a consistent swipe.

I used to have this case for the Galaxy S3. It was really sturdy but one thing I didn't like is how the TPU/rubber material eventually would not stick/pulled away from the phone and I had to keep pushing in that rubber/TPU material all the time. It was pretty pricey to have to deal with that type of problem.
When I got my Note 3, I tried a few cases and eventually stuck with the Urban Armor Gear. I kept it because it was sturdy, felt good in the hand, saw different drop tests on Youtube, and was Military drop-test certified. I kept that case and also the case with the Zero Lemon extended battery since it was sturdy, covered the ports, and looks to be able to take drops as well.
The Rubber/TPU material is something I never favored either, haha

I used to have this case for the Galaxy S3. It was really sturdy but one thing I didn't like is how the TPU/rubber material eventually would not stick/pulled away from the phone and I had to keep pushing in that rubber/TPU material all the time.

If Otterbox fixed that issue, it would be the perfect case(although still pricey).
I would recommend the Urban Armor Gear if you haven't tried it before. The only bad thing is that it doesn't have covers for the ports, but it's still a great case. I had the white/Navigator case for the Note 3 and for the Note 4 I decided to order this one:

At first, before I ordered the UAG, there weren't many options for sturdy cases that were available, so I went with this one:

Also, here is a video of the same case(but for a different phone):

Will a Note 4 fit in a Note 3 Defender case?

Haha, I find the Note 4 just a tad bit taller than the Note 3. Not much has been changed between both devices other than the materials and hardware inside.

For all complaining about the TPU cover stretching out on an Otterbox, you know all you have to do is take a picture of it with your info and Otterbox sends you another outer case free of charge. On my S3, I had mine and my wife's outer case, holster etc... replaced multiple times even after a year. So for $59 you paying for lifetime of support and free replacement with minimum hoop jumping.

How do you rank this case? Is the belt clip also a stand, like the Otterbox?

That case does come with a holster but according to the seller does not have a kickstand unfortunately. It is the only holster case I've been able to find with headphone, mini USB & S Pen port covers. I'm waiting until the 22nd when it's available fulfilled by Amazon to see if anything else becomes available and if not I'll order it.
It is possible that case will stand up in the landscape mode when the belt clip is rotated to align with the holster clip on the side. My BodyGlove ToughSuit does that and it was not listed as a feature on Amazon when I bought it.
I've read Otterbox reviews in the past that state their cases become loose and I think their price is ridiculous.
If you can wait one of the holster/case Platinum Series Best Buy sells is made by Seidio and has a kickstand. It's the Seido convert combo. Best Buy sells it for $20 less than Seidio.

You can view it on Seidio's website for a different phone like the S5.

I got a cheap TPU case till a good one with a holster gets in stock. I'm gonna try this one have it on order. A little mad cause it said it would be in stock 10/20 now they have pushed the date on me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MJ...5_QL70&qid=1413735934&sr=8-13#ref=mp_s_a_1_13
