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.
First, new to the forum, but have found plenty of great info/topics here to keep me entertained while playing with my Inspire, so hallo everyone!
Second, to the topic of my question::
I have been looking for a sturdy car kit for my phone. I like the model here:
smartphonepedia.com/windshield-charging-car-mount-cradle.html
But they have been out of stock since the release of the Inspire, and they will not respond to my inquiry's about it. I really like the 'slide in' type that the dock provides, instead of the quick-clamp that you see almost everywhere.
What have you folks found out on the internet?
I wondered the same thing. I ended up buying an otter box defender for $35 shipped kthx amazon and saw a thread about the slipgrip. They're 30 on ebay. I bought late on a sunday, shipped monday morning, and it got to AR from MD via snail mail on wednesday. It is incredible. I got the vent mount bc my setcpu profile started yelling at me bc it was baking in my really crappy walmart mount that i screwed into the dash with anchors. I thought the vent mount with this device in it might break by 20 year old honda vent but its holding up fine. I do need to get some kind if antiglare going on because the perfect angle there is a glare monster. It was definitely worth $30. Google desire hd slipgrip and click the ebay link. To see what im talking about. It didnt come with instructions but if one cant figure it out then one probably shouldnt be on xda.
Edit; they make iphone version as well so if they can do it...

Yea, I've been looking for Desire mounts also. I can't seem to find any that are like a dock that you can just drop it into. I may just break out the dremel and some extra materials and build away....
I just ordered this one.

I bought the Tetrax Fixway a couple months ago and love it. It's very secure and it can be mounted anywhere in the car. Great car mount.
You can youtube it to see some reviews.

That looks like a nice mount, and from Italy no less :]
I will have to look into getting one to play with...
I bought the CD slot holder from Mountek and find it pretty cool. The bottem piece is removable luckily since I have the otterbox and it would block the connections. I am looking at cutting the removable piece though for more support.
Has anyone seen or used a mount that would strap onto the front of the steering wheel?

I would love that, but I have no CD-player....have been looking for perhaps a tape-deck mount. That would fit perfectly where i'm looking....

You could use the bike mount, but think about your airbag....do you want a phone forcefully implanted into your cranium if you wreak? Airbags deploy at even moderate impacts such as a hard finder-bender....
My car for work doesn't have a cd player either. I was able to get out I'm the groove on my dash
Guys,
I searched and couldn't find in this forum, Not sure this one posted already or not.
I just bought this looks great to use for my car. Yes SHIP FROM USA NOT FROM CHINA. Just want to share. It can be used for Ipad 1, 2 and Motorola Xoom also.

I'm sorry I'm too late to stop you buying this mount. I bought one a few months ago and used it in a family trip. I put the tablet mount on the back of the passenger headrest for my 2 yr old to watch whilst we were on the road. Btw, use video in Webos as it last for > 5 hours (haven't had it working longer yet). In Android it lasts less than 2.5 hrs. Anyway, you can't leave the mount up if the touchpad isn't in the mount as all the edges are sharp and the mount sticks out so much any bending into that area and you either scratch yourself badly or hit your head on it and it hurts. So as a result I was taking it off and replacing it every time we stopped for more than a few hours anywhere. After a week of this, one of the hinges broke. They're plastic and can't handle so many on/off's & there's no way of fixing it. Yeah, it's cheap but the design is appalling. My advice to others looking at this is DON'T BUY IT.
I was looking for something like this awhile go but I already had the custom fit case so i strapped that to a headrest and it hung from the strap.
The monoprice one looks good, but monoprice.com charges shipping so it comes to over $14 (for me anyway), so I checked amazon and they have the exact same thing I picked up for 10.50 including shipping.
Neat find! I'm assuming these will fit with the HP Touchpad cases on?
Really getting desperate getting a Mercury case for my nexus S. Since our phone is getting a bit older, accessories like the mercury case kind tends to be harder to find(last store pointed to me closed shop already). Unless you know someone from Korea, which I don't. Sadly I don't have enough cold cash lying around so getting it from abroad is out of the question. Any of my fellow men from the Philippines here have any idea where I could still get one..? Love to get one in white desperately, or black perhaps. Help please! =(
Go to www.tipidcp.com
I got my white one from ebay though, waited 2months for it to arrive from korea. I also got a yellow one bought locally but i sold it already.

Hehehe. It's you again ej8989! 'Went to where you pointed me. The shop folded up apparently. Now I'm back at zero. Glad you got yours. Sell it to me if you decided to upgraded will ya?
Better buy one on ebay.
I won't upgrade unless developers here stop making roms for good.
And imo this is the most excellent sounding android phone, credits to voodoo sound and my trusty in-ear headphones.
Tell someone you know who has a credit card to buy one for ya. They're only about 360php, free shipping from korea.
haha.. i've been looking for mercury case too but this case is so rare that i only saw one at tcp then after a week its gone and never saw one again. the only thing i can find in the mall are the cheap plastic netcase that could scratch the phone. there's one in ebay that costs 260+50 for shipping, they also do meetup in pasay area, im far from there so i didnt buy one. just search nexus s case in ebay.ph u'll find it in several colors.

Yeah, you're correct about the excellence of our phone. Running slimbean jb rc-1 on mine.Two months waiting time you say? Hehe. I wish I don't run into a pre-owned S2 with a good price by that time. I'll try ebay.ph next time. Thanks for replying.
Nexus S Mercury case seller here in Manila, Philippines
Got me a blue non-Mercury brand case recently. The problem is my neoprene casing has a staining effect on my newly purchased TPU case. Well the black textile edge was the culprit really. I can't seem to remove it with alcohol or liquid detergent. Really getting frustrated.. Any ideas how to remove it guys?
So i emailed nokia/hmd asking if they could advise when the cases will be available and they havent replied.
Has anyone purchased any good cases yet?
have ordered one by stuffcool
have ordered one by stuffcool on amazon . in
depending on where you live, you'd find similar options.

I bought this from eBay.
spigen case.
Wrong thread.
Bought official slim flip brown case, it is really worthy for such nice looking bhone, it is clearly much better quality than common chinese flip cases.
As is stated in other thread here, it does not have a magnet, a had to insert small magnet from notebook HDD into card pocket for screen sensor to work.
Bought something like this: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1fgy0...d-PC-Soft-Silicone-Back-Phone.jpg_640x640.jpg
Looks nice, looks even a bit more premium (I mean.. I payed for it like 3$ ) than it's worth. Doesn't feel like it. But the doesn't offer as much of protection as it's advertised. I guess none of them protect the phone any more.. The leg is quite useful (Cheaply made, could break off pretty easily, yet it's still intact on my phone). All the holes for jack ports sucks. 3.5mm impossible to fit (well.. I use other headphones, maybe original ones fit). Maybe I will make the hole bigger somehow.. USB jack also gives problems. You have to adjust the bottom part of the case everytime. Can live with it, but could be better.
