Holster Case when using Tempered Glass

What holster cases are compatible with a phone that has tempered glass on it already. I just got a 6p and love the phone but wanted to grab a holster Case for it. I tried the Supcase but it's really tight trying to get the last side on and I didn't want to crack anything. Are there other options that fit well with tempered glass but still offer good protection?

Best full body skin

I wasn't sure whether to post in accessories or here. I really like the design and appearance of this phone. I was looking at getting the belt clip holster for a naked phone from Encased. But I don't want to leave it completely unprotected so I was thinking of putting a full body skin on it. The only 2 at Amazon that I am familiar with are the Skinomi and the IQ Shield. I was wondering which one would be more recommended. Or is there another brand that would be better. I am currently using Spigen tpu for the screen.

I don't have a full body, but use a honeycomb back skin from Slickwraps and an IQ Shield screen protector.
The screen protector is hardly noticable. Feels good but it's not as good as glass. I just don't want to drop $45 on a Whitestone.
The device feels naked. The only unprotected parts are around the edges. I'm fairly careful and use a Samsung snap on case from time to time, so I'm not concerned about scratches.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the info. I had thought about just getting a front and back glass protector and then using an aluminum bumper but I don't know if it would fit in the holster with the bumper I it.

Went back to the Defender after using the Armadillotek

I've been using the Armadillotek case for my Note 9 for a couple weeks now. I really like the case overall but decided to switch back to my Defender for now.
First, the built in screen protector doesn't quit sit totally flush because of teh curved glass. This causes it to have a tiny bit of air gap which dust and dirt gets underneath and drives me nuts, plus with the Kickstand it leave the phone exposes a but when you use it allowing dirt to get in there.
Also, the sides of this case are raised which is great! gives more protection but also allows dirt and grime to collect on the sides.
I really like the case and eventually might just rip the protector out. I might try the Poetic Revolution and Supcase Unicorn Beetle out but I'm sure the screen protector will be crappy too and I'll just rip it out.
I can see why Otterbox ditched the built in protector for the curved phones.
They tried it with the S7 Edge. With the S7 edge it fit VERY snug to the phone so no dirt got under it BUT screen responsiveness was atrocious with it. Just terrible.
I might order the orange Armadillo because I like the color but for sure will rip the protector out on one of them and save the other for when I want a screen protector in certain situations.

I ripped the screen protector out as well. Very easy to take off and makes it perfect for me.

I ripped off the screen as well, worth it. I have the white glass dome on my phone, gives me protection already.

Thing I don't like about Armadillotek and "tough" cases like them is that too often their designs are so gaudy. That's why I like the Commuter (and even Defender). They're mature-looking. Pretty understated. Low-key, kinds of cases.

Thanks for the information...

I just simply rip off the plastic protector, and install tempered glass one.
Now I can it tough

I like the defender but I hate the holster. I've used the seidio surface holster for years now and it's far superior IMO. Wish I could find a holster like the surface one for the defender.

Question whitestone dome and cases.

Wanting to know if the OtterBox cases will be compatible with the whitestone dome class screens. I ordered this phone and it'll be here this week and so I want to know about this and which defender like case would be best ahead of time so I can order the accessories accordingly.
Mainly I just care about grip and protection. Doesn't have to necessarily be a defender case I just need something that's not really bulky but offers the same type of shock absorption. Thanks.

Zizo Bolt, that's all I use on my N10+'s; lots of drops onto concrete, no cracks or damage.
Very grippy, does not attract dust and easy to clean. The kickstand tends to break but that's not a big deal.
Gorilla IQ Sheild is a hydrocell wet apply screen protector. Inexpensive, lasts about 6 months, easy to apply and eliminates scratching. My 2.5 yo N10+ stills looks and runs like new...

I don't use super big cases like that but if you haven't bought the screen protector i recommend the amfilm one instead. A bit cheaper and the oleophobic coating is way better than the white stone one. And i used to always use white stone and always had the same issue with the coating wearing out fast. Just an fyi

I appreciate the feedback! My main concern here is grip. And my main concern for the screen protector would be well glass tempered.. I don't mind spending the money for the white stone I just want to know if the compatibility will be there for these cases such as OtterBox or a knockoff version of OtterBox. I presently have a OnePlus 9 pro and I have a white stone on it with a grip type of case and it works perfectly and so I'm wanting to know if the same will be applied to the s22 series. I specifically would like to know about the OtterBox defender series and the Whitestone if they're compatible That would be very awesome if they were. Well I don't want to spend that extra cash for an OtterBox I will if I have to.

Glass protectors are the least compatible with cases. The case is the primary protection in face plants. It should have raised guards on all sides with higher ones on top and bottom.
This is a heavy, corner hitting, face planting happy phone when dropped.
It also has a heavy thermal load, the Bolt dissipates heat relatively well but a graphene or other thermally conductive non metallic material be nice. No such thing as far as I know...
The Bolt can be had for around $26 although it come with a screen protector I'm not sure if I would use it. The hydrocell ones seem to work well, similar to the factory installed ones but not quite as good.
Lol, I had it with Otterbox. The Bolt is as tough and grippy as it looks... and so far hasn't marred my N10+'s side rails in over 2 years of use. I live in the desert, sand and grit everywhere.

I had UAG armor kevlar and now use spigen luqiud cristal. With these cases I didn't had any problems with dome glass.
For me dome glass is N1. I use from Note 9, Note 20U and now S22U

I might just get a matte skinomi protector and the defender pro series from OtterBox and call it a day. used to be my combination on all my Galaxy phones I ever had. I do intend to place magnets in the case so I can use it with my magnetic phone holder so I don't know if the weight would be a problem or not I'm not sure.

Well?

Question What cases are compatible with amfilm glass?

Have this phone coming in a day or sooner. I'd like to know if specifically OtterBox defender series or any other knock off version of the OtterBox would play well with the amfilm glass screen protector. I've gone ahead and ordered the Dbrand gripcase since I've ran out of ideas.
I need Xtreme grip but not bulk. Also the ability to slap a magnet in the back of the case for my car mount. Seen some magsafe type cases on Amazon but I'm not a fan of hard pc back casing. For me, the grip isn't good. Thanks for the answers.
