I've been hunting for what seems like weeks for a case that has the following:
Actual leather, or good quality something, not the CRAP that just scrapes off like most cases are
Low-profile non-rotating belt clip
Belt loops (so I can't sit down and pop the case off my belt; it's happened)
Fits with a thin cover (Boxwave Pure Crystal, very thing, but not a 'skin')
Magnetic cover
Anyone have an suggestions? I've found several which look okay but all of the good actual leather ones don't have belt loops, which I feel are essential, as in the past I had a horizontal case that would worm its way off my belt. Since then I've only had cases with belt loops and a clip so the case won't go anywhere.
I bought a cheap case to use when I first got the N1, but as always it's this covered-pleather kinda stuff that immediately scratches and leaves gray marks behind, plus it barely fit the N1 without a skin, no way with it, so I'm using my old case which is beat to hell but at least the phone fits.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Man.. I've searched for hours today. Nothing. Without belt loops there's a handful of possibilities, but the cheap-as-possible market has all but eliminated actual leather cases.
I see a lot of OEM HTC cases that are said to be real leather, but just a simple belt clip.
Maybe I should just find a deal on crap pleather ones and buy 4-5 of them and throw them away after a few months.
Well, I googled around for a cheap Evo case, as my N1 + Boxwave Pure Crystal case is just about the same size, and got 2 shipped for $8.. I figure if they work, I'll order a few more perhaps and just toss 'em as they get torn to hell by.... erm, nothing.. I hate cheap cases.. Oh well.
Don't know how good quality it is, but I found these on ebay:

Maybe you've looked at them already? Seems to fit your requirements (well maybe except the quality part).

Yep on the last part They're all dirt-cheap faux-pleather stuff that looks okay out of the box but scratches by the time you put it on your belt the first time. Plus often you gotta be really careful that they're selling the right size case, amazing how many I found once I started looking for Evo (after measuring my Nexus with case and finding it very close) where the reviews were all like "Case is CLEARLY not mean for Evo, WAY too small" etc..
I'd prefer to pay $30-$40 for a case I use for a long time, but for now I'll use disposable cases for $10 for two shipped.
Have you looked at Vaja Cases? They're very high quality leather. They also make generic holsters if you don't see a Nexus one version.

Good point, I'll look there. So far I've basically measured my phone in its case as Evo sized, and I don't see anything specifically Evo sized yet. But I'll keep looking, might be overlooking a generic case that'll fit.
If one can call a vaja generic The large urbano pouch fits a phone 4.5" long.. My Nexus in the case is more along the lines of 4.8 x 2.5 x .5, or very close to a naked Evo. I've emailed their support to ask if they make or are planning on making any larger pouches.
Edit: I got a second email from them, they have no plans to make such a case. I wonder if they'll change that opinion, however, since all of the crazy large phones coming out.. Evo, Droid X, etc..
I grabbed two cheap fake/pleather cases from Amazon made for the Evo, since it's the same size as my N1 with the thin case on it..
Except they're iphone cases, therefore about .5" too narrow. Lying f*cks. Oh well, I guess I'm searching again.
I've tried the ice trick on the case, right now I have an old phone in there.. but as thin as this thing is I doubt it'll stretch, plus it's not wide enough either, so I doubt it'll even close with the N1 in it.
Krusell makes good cases. Nice leather, and with the multidapt you can get any kind of holder you want.

( I know I shrill for them a lot, but no I'm not an employee or shareholder. I just think they're a good quality product. I've had one for every phone I've owned since my BB almost 8 years ago. )
Oh yeah, don't use the included swivel clip. They're horrible. They're free for a reason. Spend the extra three dollars and get the clip you want/need.

Hmm, all the Krussel I've seen all have the rotating plastic clip, which I hate on a case.. I don't want the case rotating, plus those clips are much thicker than a simple clip. I'll have to look into it more though, hadn't ever seen a fixed clip on a Krussel?
BTW, I've managed to stretch these cases.. Going to give one of them a try today. Don't try this at home kids.. At least not without being very careful.
They make all kinds of solid belt clips..just search the word multidapt.
Car, bike, belt, beltloop, jogging band...they pretty much have evert type you could want..but i agree, the swivel thing is a piece...

Wow okay cool, all I saw from Krussell were the silly clips. I see more now that I look specificly for that brand.
Cool, I think this is it.. Finally!
Krussell 95472 - No multiadapt, just belt loops
Krussell 95462 - Same as above, but has belt loops and multiadapt <--- Getting this one, with Krussell mini clip, 58202
Awesome! Thank you for the pointer!
Happy to help..enjoy the case.

Much win. Got it today, the one I mentioned a few posts back... Belt loops, choice of clips (I went with the Miniclip, case ships with a larger spring clip), nice leather, looks good, feels good, smells good.
It's a little tight with my Boxwave Crystal Pure cover on, but leather will relax. After I break it in a bit, it'll be awesome. I wish I hadn't bought three different cases to get here, but I finally got the right one.

Yep, I saw those, the OEM HTC cases are pretty nice.. If you don't want belt loops.
I've currently got the Defender but it's WAY too thick and the front bezel part is in the way too much.
In the past I've just used a basic slim TPU or similar case coupled with a vertical slide in holster. My problem has been finding a holster that is big enough to fit the phone with the slight bulk added by the cases I know of. Any thoughts?
I never drop my phones and they always look brand new when I sell them a year later, so the defender is way overkill for me...anyone interested in it because I'll be selling it when I find something new.

That looks pretty good, although it doesn't look like the camera portion is thick enough to protect the camera at all, even by a millimeter. Do you have one? Does it offer any protection at all?

Ok, so I got one anyway and the answer is NO, it doesn't protect the camera at all. The Camera bezel is perfectly flush with the case. That being said, it's the only real negative about it. It's SUPER easy to take off if you want to go naked for some reason, the holster works great and the case itself provides just enough grip and heft to make it easy to hang onto.
I'd say about a 8/10...
anyone want a lightly used Defender?
I use the Seidio Innocase but it might be too bulky for you as well :\
I'm searching for a holster/pouch/belt clip for my phone. It's not to protect the phone, but the headset instead. I always go around with the headset connected and eventually they go bad, possibly because my phone is always in my pocket and the cord gets alot of twisting. I'm now on my fourth headset since buying the phone last December, and think that to protect them better I need to wear the phone outside...
My phone already has a fishbone case, so the accessory has to be large enough to fit it. I also want the ports to be easily accessible, so the headset doesn't have to be disconnected when I take the phone out, and possibly so I can charge the battery on the go with my power bank. I've seen some possibilities, but they're typically too small to accompdate my existing case, or the clips come with cases themselves and probably wouldn't properly fit mine. So I'm seeking some advice to find a suitable clip/holster.

Hi folks,
Just wanted to share my experience with this new case that I got last week, it's called Crusta, made by Amzer, I have used Amzer products in the past, but this case is something very different from their regular stuff I have used in the past.
Since, I have replaced 2 screens on my S5 in last 4 months, I really wanted to get something which protects the device, don't want to spend more money on repairs, initially thought of going ahead with OtterBox but I saw an ad on Facebook for Crusta. Having used Amzer in past, I ordered it (even got 25% off part of their promotion!)
Really loving the case, it is a bit on the bulky side, but not as much as an otter box, it is right mix of protection and style, they claim it is 6 feet drop proof, it did fall out of my pocket 2-3 times and no visible damage. The thing i really like about this case is that it came with a very nice and tough glass screen protector and a belt clip. Really neat bundle. The back of the case is very nice and stylish with clear backing. Only wished this case was waterproof, but for $45 its a great buy, I got yellow and black combo, but really good color options, lots of them.
If you are looking to get an otterbox, i would suggest you give this a try and save some money!
Have a look here - www.amzer.com/crusta
I will be posting pictures after I manage to get some decent pictures from my second phone

I've been looking for a case/holster combination and just came across this one. I had previously ordered the Seidio Dilex and was not happy with it mainly because it is so slick. The Seidio adds quite a bit of bulk also but I think I'd be ok with that if it just wasn't so slippery. Can you tell me a little about the holster? I need something that holds the phone safely. I prefer holsters that rachet and need a little force to spin around. What do you think about this one?
How'd you get 25% off? I'm interested in possibly ordering one.

So I also have the Seidio Dilex and I ordered a Crusta just to see what the differences were. Here's what I noticed aside from what the OP stated:
-The belt clip, where it attaches to the belt, has a lot tension so it grabs tightly
-It is a U-Clip on the clip, but instead of a solid piece it is two "teeth" that wrap underneath the belt
-Phone case seems to fit loosely when the screen is facing out/clips in very tightly with screen facing inward (I prefer screen facing in)**
-The rotating clip looks like a gear assembly. When you turn it, it settles into the grooves and won't spin so it is omni-directional
-Online photos looks like the camera would be touching if laid on its back. The outer edge of the case keeps it from touching so no worries there
-Heart rate sensor is easily accessed and works well. Fingerprint scanner will work, but you will have to be accurate since the rubber has no give
-The Amzer is thicker overall than the Seidio Dilex and probably the exact same width as the Seidio would be if the kickstand went all the way up
**Might just be my case, OP would have to chime in
My overall so far is that I like it, but I want to test out the belt holster more before I wholeheartedly recommend it. The case is good and I love the tempered glass screen protector that came with it. The rubber is not slick at all and has a fake stitching look around the front face for aesthetics I suppose? Also, with this case on it barely fits in my Nathan's runners belt. Granted it is the smallest runner's belt, but with the grippy case rubber around it I won't be able to easily take it in and out to change songs or answer calls after I get it in there.
I'd like to post some pictures, but I need some suggestions of the best place to upload them for posting here? I just wondered what others would use and if you would like any specific pictures I am happy to oblige. I'll do a breakdown and couple of size comparison shots with the Dilex.
Edit: I personally won't be using the fingerprint scanner because as I found out, it you register a fingerprint while the case is on you should be able to unlock it. If you register it with the case off and put the case on, it most likely won't accept the scan. My experience was scanning in a fingerprint with the case on and took the case off to take pictures and it wouldn't take my fingerprint at that depth. If you are never going to take the case off this may work for you. However if you have pre-registered fingerprints and you put the case on you may lock yourself out. Just my experience.

I would suggest this case for sure, though I don't buckle the phone to my waist much, but the holster is really nice and high quality, the clip for rotation is also very smooth but at the same time not 'loose'. The video on their site says to put the phone face in for best results, but even face out is ok, the holster really holds the phone in really well.
My past experience with a seidio case for my S4 wasn't that great either, they tear up after some time and the support team is really not upto the mark. This case is not exactly thin, but it's a lot less than Otterbox, also this case has very very good grip on the TPR ring they have provided, so it won't be slippery like Seidio for sure.

I purchased the Seidio Suface and the Surface holster, received a couple of days ago.
Initial thoughts is this case feels like cheap EBAY plastic shipped from China. The fit seems loose from the top section to the bottom section, case also makes crackling sounds when pushing on the sides of the phone. I am not impressed when holding this case on a call. It really does feel like it will fall apart at any second and my Note 4 will hit the ground.
I would like to know if this is just a problem with my case or if this is indeed how this case was produced.
Thanks
Mine fits like a glove. I love it. I like the feel of the plastic compared to the actual other really cheep Chinese plastics like the speigen. I couldn't stand the tough armor and the neo-hybrid didn't feel much better.
I guess you might have a bad unit, or it's a personal preference thing, I sure like mine though.
I just got mine and it fits perfectly. I like how it feels and it both looks and feels like a very high quality case. I still don't think it's worth $35 & freight but it is what it is. For that price at the very least Seidio should have included side rocker switch covers. As I mentioned on the other cases thread Best Buy sells the Surface as their Platinum Series for $20 less than Seidio and no freight charge. If you can wait until they get them in stock that's how to buy one.
I did not get the holster because the Surface uses a different holster than the Combo so I can't comment on the holster.

Every holster case I have bought, the dang belt clip would always break off when sitting down and bumping something. Has your clip broke off? Looking at this holster makes me really want it, but I would prefer to get a little more use than just a couple days.
Thanks!
My last 2 phones had holsters w/ clips and I used each for 2 years with no problems. My last phone had a BodyGlove ToughSuit case and the one before it had a BodyGlove case that was considerably less rugged than the ToughSuit and the clip was removable. Both of those cases are in as good of a condition today as they were when they were new.

i had the seidio surface with holster for the Note II. i liked the case, but the holster clip broke after a few months of use. seidio sent me a replacement and that also broke within months. hope they improved it on the Note 4 though.
The one siedio holster that I broke on a previous phone, was my own fault. Let's face it though, with the note 4, it's a big phone and you will likely need to be more careful with whatever you get to attach it to your belt, depending on your body type.
Short of a maxpedition magazine holster, I can't see anything else stand up to some of the things I have put mine through. Overall I am very satisfied with mine for the quick access and duability for the price.

Hello Everyone,
New Note 4 user here, (yeah sounds strange upgrading from the note 3 finally, but samsungs gone full potato) and like any other purchase, the hunt for cases is on. I have scoured the internet/ebay/threads for possible solutions to my dilemma and haven't found anything, so I figure its a good time to ask. With my N3 I had the Seidio Dilex Extended battery case with the belt clip holster. This was an amazing combo and accounted for 99% of my needs, minus the stupid negative incline when the phone was flat on its back, due to the kickstand bulge.
Anyways, I am having a hell of a hard time finding extended battery cases that have a kickstand, or have the plastic belt clip holsters for that matter. Essentially it looks like its the Zerolemon and thats it for holster combos, or if I want an integrated kickstand, its the mugen, for outrageous pricing.
I had originally hoped that I'd be able to reuse the same case and such from my n3 with some modifications, since these two phones are very close in size. Well that got quickly abandoned, but there was still the possibility of using the seidio case and cover/holster since they appeared to be the same dimensions. Wrong again.
The sides of the case have much steeper angle coming out from the phone on the bottom and top, but could possibly be adjusted depending on how or if I can rework the holster.
and the top
I have found a temporary starting point to try and reclaim some of the utility I had with my N3 with a few random pieces from amazon.
Anker has been out of stock for a while, unless you want to pay scalper prices on ebay, so I figured I'd give Kranich a whirl for the $25 they asked for 6400mah battery and the plastic textured back panel.
Next I picked up a generic tpu honeycomb case (hopefully this is better than the plastic crap I had on my SIII) for $10 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S1581X4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and lastly found a neat little gadget for another $10, a magnetic kickstand with adhesive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HP15P60/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My plan should it go well, is to try and either cut a loop in the tpu case and secure the kickstand to the plastic backing itself, or to the tpu on the outside if thats not possible. Either way, ill make sure to correct the confusing mistake seidio made by putting the kickstand on the bottom of the phone and having it lay with the bottom of the phone slightly elevated instead of flat.
This should get me back to at least the core level of performance that the seidio case I had before offered, with a little less protection I think.
The last problem however, is the belt holster (or whatever you want to call it). Again, not many options, so I am looking at modifying my existing seidio holster to fit my N4 or possibly getting an otterbox holster and trying to work with that. You know, interestingly enough, I figured Alibaba would be swarming with weird stuff like that, and I really didn't see anything different
If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd love to hear it. Or for that matter any other cool suggestions for gear.
==============================Update #1==========================================
TPU case came in, god this stuff still sucks, and spigen kcikstand as well. After slipping my note 4 into something more sensual, I decided it was time to try out the holster, which I prayed to the case gods would still fit, and i-it d-d-does! Success! It does in deed definitely fit securely in the mount, albeit a it rides a little higher in the clip due to being ever so slightly longer that the note 3 with the seidio case (works for me still).
Far Away shot.
Damnit, point and shoots are picky when shoplights are involved.
Now that the first test was an overwhelming success, I decided it was time to make some cuts and drop the kickstand in, maybe risk some fingers or violate some safety rules. I decided to cut my way through the TPU case (while half listening to a linus tech tips webisode) and attach the kickstand directly to the phone case for more stability and a slightly smoother surface and a little more professional look. Results below:
First was to figure out where to put the case, I noticed that the first set of honeycombs was almost a perfect border for the ends of the kickstand and those served as an excellent guide for my first cuts.
To achieve a straight cut, i used a square razor blade and tapped it down through the tpu into an old notepad. this have a nice clean straight edge, id soon have to murder since it was nowhere near wide enough for accommodate the whole kickstand. A halfway picture would have been nice, but I was eager to finish.
If you do decide to copy this, make sure you cut the material, almost too tight for the kickstand, so it fits snugly, instead of stretching and leaving a gap like mine did. I would have liked to have rounded my edges a little better, but oh well, its not like I bought the phone to look at the back.
In any case(oh god not the puns), I think it worked out pretty well, but I think I'm gonna try and find a few more TPU cases, maybe that are a little spongier since this hardly gives any protection for drops. An added benefit is the lip of the kickstand in this spot serves as a nice rest for your fingers while using the phone.
I own and use the Thor Champagne Gold version of this one for more than 18 months now: https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-Verus-Charcoal-Black/dp/B00MHBSHYG
and am very happy with it. Have dropped the Note4 while bicycling, and from other stupid high positions on stone, it has saved my Note4 many a time. These verus cases rock!
So try that brand, I bet you they have what you need.
Switched from Hyperion 8000mah with honeycomb tpu, now using Verus Iron Shield with Spigen kickstand add on and purchased 3 extra batteries with external charger for $23 US from Amazon. I have leather holster, but front pocket works just fine.

and am very happy with it. Have dropped the Note4 while bicycling, and from other stupid high positions on stone, it has saved my Note4 many a time. These verus cases rock!
So try that brand, I bet you they have what you need.

That looks and sounds amazing, and reminds me of some of the drops my note 3 has taken and survived. This is what I really, really wanted to reproduce with my note 4, because, well it makes sense. Only problem is, I really want an extended battery since charging is much slower than my n3, and I don't want to rely on batteries.

Switched from Hyperion 8000mah with honeycomb tpu, now using Verus Iron Shield with Spigen kickstand add on and purchased 3 extra batteries with external charger for $23 US from Amazon. I have leather holster, but front pocket works just fine.

It looks goregeous, but I'm a little concerned about dampening shock, TPU doesn't seem to be the best at it..
