Search V10 and SureGrip on eBay, easy to find. Expensive, but I don't wanna loose my phone! Standard RAM brand ball mount. Rock solid, and allows me to glance at maps, music, etc.

I'd be afraid of it scratching my device.
You can buy them sized for popular cases, (I bought the one to fit Otterbox Defender), so phone and case snaps in very securely. Kydex can be heated with a heat gun and reshaped, so I put the phone in with the case on, and bent the Kydex in so it holds it snug.
Works great! Very secure, and I imagine it would work just as well on a mountain bike.
Thanks but I'll keep my phone in my glove box on my roadglide.

I plan to do alot of Snowboarding this year, I need a case that will protect my phone hardcore, maybe just a solid case, doesnt even have to be functional.
Yes, sometimes I need my phone on the mountain cause I lose track of friends and need to call them.
Maybe get a normal case and put it in a waterproof pouch? I haven't seen many seriously protective cases for the sgs yet...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I use my Burton Esquire jacket ... all the protection I ever need.
I have also a great jacket (a nitro 20.000 waterproof ans 20.000 value as Breathable) but with low temperature the battery drains very fast (because I'll use the galaxy s as a camera @720p)... so i'll buy the Galaxy S Power Pack EBB-U10 that give me 3000mAh and a great extra protection for low temperature for the battery.....
Im not so much worried about water leaking in as I am about cracking the screen.
also, batteries will actually last longer in the cold. Its heat you have to worry about.
I do a lot of rock climbing and about to post asking for bluetooth headset advise!
Put the phone in a case-mate tough case which done a grand job even after a back fall from a boulder wall. Totally forgot I had the phone on me also know it was a lucky fall to not bend (break the screen) the phone.

The case comes in two parts
a rubber inside sleeve that I would imagine protects from shock. Outer skin is a hard plastic design for direct impact protection.
Case has a solid feel back and side edges but the weak points would be top/bottom edges that are only protected by the softer inside rubber.

Hi all,
I like many other here seem to have more then one case for our phone. This is quite normal imo as some times I/we want them to be heavy duty, some times I/we want them slim to none,and other times maybe just ghost armor or body armor or the like.
Though I and I'm sure you like to pack and use a near naked phone and this phone is slippery when alone in a pocket like a jean jacket breast pocket. It poses risks to me to be packed alone, too thin to remember through heavier clothing and too slippery to navigate daily life, at least for myself as I won't pack it in my pants, ever.
So now, you bend over to a tie shoe, next thing you know you're mailing your phone off to HTC for a screen replacement. Not good and not productive to a happy guys travels.
Here is my answer, a slip case, took me awhile to find one locally, but I did an grabbed it as its on sale for $20.
I like it a lot, it holds phone inside with a mini flap with neodymium magnets, the inside is not the most plush though it shouldn't scratch a phone if kept clean and you use a screen protector.
I have a Seidio Active, love it, but is hard to pocket an draws lint like a magnet.
Same with my HTC Gel case, love it but again hard to pocket and keep clean.
Hard cases are nice, but usually leave a part unprotected so this is my new daily driver case.
A bonus the case comes with a easy lift by pulling up on flap lifts phone up out of case so you don't have to pull whole case from pocket to get phone. If it's in case and out of your pocket, a flip of the flap and the phone will slide out like it was greased lightning.
If it goes in easy, you know, it's going to, come out easy.
Hope you like it

Burnt off a Beast CleanRomV @ 2.1
I'm looking for a couple of inexpensive cases for my Nexus 4, for occasional use only. I generally keep my phone case-free, but have a few situations where I'd like to keep it protected.
First, I'd like a case with a wrist strap. I was thinking some kind of simple, thin TPU case to the rear of the phone with a strap. I travel a lot, and use my phone as my camera and have got very nervous about holding my phone when sightseeing at edges of mountains, cliffs, towers, bridges, etc. and think using a wrist strap like a camera would be helpful. The thinner and less bulky (and cheap) for this case the better.
I'm also thinking that some kind of water-resistant case might be useful too. This one's mainly for use when I visit amusement/theme parks abroad so I don't have to worry about having my phone in my pocket on some water rides. In the past, I've put the phone in a Zip-loc airport security type bag. I've had a quick look online for some options but everything seems quite bulky, other than the Sealabox case, which is much more compact but kind of expensive for very occasional use.
Any suggestions?
I would also be interested in this!

i recently searched and bought a cheap case for n4 so i can tell you my opinion on the matter.
as far as i know there is no thin case with wrist strap. the reason is that if you want a strap the case must hold the phone quite firmly thus the case would be somehow bulky. the thin tpu case you mentioned don't hold the phone so well for a strap. for water resistant case i didn't find anything cheap when i was searching.
If you want a case with a wrist strap hole get the ringke slim. When looking for a case I was looking for thin one and charm hole otherwise I would have went naked on a phone again. You can get one on amazon for $10 or less.
I would also be interested in a waterproof case, I haven't been able to find any.
Here I am, in total confusion. Should I buy a pouch or case?
Here's what I feel, think and want:
I like a pouch, because the phone inside is pure. I can take it out and I'll be holding the phone in its slimmest form (read: original form). On the other hand, I have used pouches before with my LG Optimus 2X and the cover got these marks where it always slid over the pouch (basicly, cover was screwed).
That said, it's pretty clear. I like to hold the S5 like I got it from the box. On the other hand I would like it to have some protection.
I feel that a flip case (from Samsung) might suit me the best, because it's pretty thin and covers the screen as well.
But, somehow I think that this flip case might be a bit unhandy sometimes (taking pictures, holding it to type, sturdy?).
What I'm asking: does anyone have experience with large smartphones and pouches?
Here's some links:
S5 Flip wallet
Krusell Pouch 1
Krusell Pouch 2
(also, if you know some other pouches - perhaps tailored for the S5 - do tell!)
I am looking for a pouch as well..using the one for I got for the S3 but for obvious reasons, it doesnt close the top portion unless if i force the velcro to reach, lol.
I'm also looking for a pouch for my S5. I've purchased a couple off of ebay. They are always too big. Has anyone found one that they could recommend that fits a naked S5? Not one that can also fit a Note. This is a big phone already and I don't want to have an even bigger pouch on my belt.
I'm not in the practice to carry a purse around. I carry a pouch on my belt. I use it to carry my phone, nothing else. I have a wallet in my back pocket for cards and such. I like the look and feel of the phone itself. I don't want to cover my well designed phone with a cheap case or even and expensive one. I'm looking for a pouch that fits the s5 cleanly and naked. All I've seen so far are ones that fit it with a case on it or they are universal and big enough to also fit a note. The note is a class bigger than I need.

I don't know exactly what you are looking for but I just received this pouch and my naked S5 fits in it perfectly with no room to spare. You may have tried one like this already. Once clipped onto your belt the case can be rotated 360 degrees through eight different, fairly firm positions 45 degrees apart. If you don't want the rotation capability you could easily glue it in the position you want. The flap is held in place magnetically.

Those are the specs I am looking for. But I'm also wanting a horizontal pouch. I also need a very good clip. I usually get one that has the the extra belt loops on each side of the clip. I work on a ladder all the time and usually have other things on my belt also. I've had lesser clips work their way off while up there and phones don't do well from a drop that far up.
Erm ... not really.
Can anyone give some advice about a belt case/holster?
I'm thinking on the lines of this type http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OHFTPXM/ a horizontal case.
But, this don't usually last that long.
So, I was thinking about http://www.amazon.co.uk/Urvoix-Case-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00S6DQ37W/ a vertical canvas style.
But, I'm unsure using it with a belt and in vertical orientation would it just get in the way, sitting down, driving etc?
I'll probably be buying a case for the phone too.
Any advice please.
Thank you
I used to use belt holsters and cases but problem is this phone is so big the cases look like fanny packs Lol.
With that out of the way, I think the horizontal holders are better for when you sit down.
I'm using a Seidio CAPSA exoskeleton holster in horizontal orientation, with a UAG case. They fit perfectly together. If you search the forums someone on here has posted photos of this combination. If you rotate it to vertical it does get in the way a little when sitting down, so I use it horizontal.

Thank you both very much
I use an Otterbox Defender w/holster & don't have any issues sitting down w/ the phone in the landscape/horizon mode. I do take the phone off my belt in the car to use my Craig's Docks car dock/mount. I think your physique has a lot to do with the comfort of the phone when seated. I also have a horizontal nylon belt pouch I got from Amazon that fits the phone with the Defender case but I've never used it because I've had no problems with the Defender's holster. The nylon pouch would be very useful if you're in a warm climate & it's raining & you're outside a lot.
One thing I really like about the Defender holster is it allows the phone to be placed in the screen out position so I can see/use the screen when it's clipped on my belt (it's of course less protection than screen in but for me the functionality outweighs that). I do agree that the size of the N4 looks like you've got a tablet on your belt, it does look ridiculous but it is what it is.
The Defender is a high quality precision made case IMO and if you buy one online make sure you buy it either directly from Otterbox or directly from Amazon (not a third party reseller) as counterfeiting is rampant with them. Also you have to remove the included plastic screen protector & use something else for clarity & to prevent the constant dirt that accumulates through the opening for the home key w/ the installed screen protector.
I haven't used the exact same one that you listed, but I used a very similar design holster for my gs1 and that fake pleather material wore out pretty quick by the belt area. I can't believe I paid $15 for that. If you want to go vertical, I personally recommend it on the side. Would interfere if worn near the front. Out of those 2, I would say the nylon holster would last longer because of the 1000d cordura nylon, but I can't speak for the overall quality. The stitching might be shoddy and stuff could fall apart easily.
I used the supcase beetle case with holster, but the case and holster broke. The case could not take a huge impact. I wore the holster on my side horizontally and broke the belt clip getting out of the car. I am currently using a cheap otterbox defender type case with holster.

Awesomes x2 Thank you
I think we can close this one now, if needed :good:
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung...-kickstand-combo-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgt4k-bk.htm
iv been using the seido surface for about 6-7 months now and its still working great, spring on the holster still seems as strong as brand new, and its pretty slim compared to the other case+holster combos. it provides plenty of protection, iv dropped my phone at least 10 times since november, each time onto hard surface floors from about waist high (im 5 foot 11), and each time i remove the case to see what damage i caused and surprised to see that my phone itself still it perfect cosmetic condition. no scratches or scuffs anywhere on the edges or corners. phone sits pretty snug into the clip, it has NEVER came off on its own. if something were to go wrong with this case ill definitely buy another one.
Read my thread about Seidio & buying form their online store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/dont-want-to-buy-seidios-webstore-t3036913
I have to initiate a chargeback w/ the bank that issued the credit card I used to get a refund. Seidio refunded zero.
Seido's online store is a joke if you have a problem w/ one of their products. By far the worst experience I've ever had purchasing online.
The Surface is a decent case but completely overpriced. Only reason I got one was to turn into the Surface w/ holster which was complete garbage, both the case & the holster. Everytime I moved the phone fell off the beltclip, is was unusable. And yes, I did have the case locked to the beltclip.
For the price Seidio charges for the Surface it should have rocker switch covers at a bare minimum. You can spend a fraction of the cost of a Surface & get a far nicer case.
Best Buy sells the Surface as their Platinum series at half the price Seidio charges.
IMO Seidio = garbage.
Maxpedition
Ever since I starting using tactical pouches with my iPhone 5s, I have continued to do so with my Note 4. I use Maxpedition pouches, as they are made of 1050d ballistic nylon. They are quite excellent.|
When I'm at work, during my food vendering stuff, I use their TC-3 pouch. However, I rock their leg pouch for any other events. Since I run around with no case on my phone except for the leg pouch and the small pouch that my phone and cards slip in, I am quite pleased with the setup. Excellent durability and I can carry my expensive IEMs, wallet, phone, and a couple extras with no problem.
Thank you all for the additional post and information
After a lot of head scratching I ordered the vertical case (2nd link in my OP).
I'll use it as a starting point and try other cases once I get my Note 4 through the post.
