I have really enjoyed my new S7 but realized I needed a case. Instead of adding this to the existing S7 dev threads for new roms (thanks xbobxexpert and RemmyLee!) I thought it would be good if everyone can post any cases they have tried.
I have discovered that the best fit case (right now) is an ipad mini case. Yeah, I actually bought an "i" something.
This is for the "Belkin Chambray Tab Cover Case with Stand for the Apple iPad mini Dark Gray"
It has elastic straps on the corners which allows it to stretch. Also, the ipad mini is a 1/4" wider, thus there is a gap on the case, however, the S7 doesn't slide around, leaving plenty of space for a stylus.
The strap does cover the front camera and the power button. I just push the strap to use the power button, and remove the strap to use the front camera.
The case does cover the back camera.
I'm using a leather Nexus 7 case. Its perfect. The only thing it blocks is the HDMI port. Ill get some pics later
Pics would be awesome.

This is the one I'll likely get.
I just have to decide which color.
My Nexus 7 has a black case so maybe get the Magenta.
More apt to let my SO have, it seeing how I bought it for her.
Does that case add to much bulk?
I see several screen protectors have already come to market. I just purchased the XtremeGuard protector for $9.99 (after adding in the site-wide 40% off coupon.) I'll definitely post back with my experience but from what I read, installation will be a *****.
So now I'm looking for cases. I'd like rubber bumper-style cases that fit snug around the back to protect it from mild abuse. Nobody seems to make one at this point. I hate leather cases because they are bulky, harder to grip, and their quality is usually lacking. I'm thinking of purchasing a case designed for a similar shaped tablet and modifying it as needed. So far the closest sized tablet is the Kindle HD 7". The Sero 7 Pro has dimensions of 7.87" x 4.95" x .43" (or in metric: 199.9mm x 125.7mm x 10.9mm.) The Barnes & Noble Nook HD has dimensions of 7.65" x 5" x .43". What do you guys think? I may need to cut some holes for a charging port, camera, microphone, etc but the protection which the case would offer would still be uncompromised.

hello, can you tell me which Nexus 7 case you bought (brand name) and does it cover the back camera? thanks
Just as a temp, I'm using a Kindle Fire case. Not the Fire HD just the Fire. It use elastic straps on each corner, I just leave the top right strap off to keep from covering light sensor and camera. It will work until I find a real one.
I just ordered this little guy

I'll post pics as soon as I get it. I found this one as well, and it looks less bulky:

I ordered the 2nd one and it should be arriving today.
I decided to do another Amazon search for cases and came across another one by i-UniK. I'm not familiar with the brand, but I am liking the looks of it. It appears to be new with no reviews yet and at a pretty reasonable price ($13.99). It looks pretty good with a magnetic cover and it appears there are appropriate cut-outs for the front facing camera along with the light sensor. Very tempted by it. For those that are curious, you can check it out at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D3MPRDC/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

Awesome! :good: I would love to hear your initial thoughts on it once it arrives
Oddly, the i-unik case is categorized in Home & Kitchen, so I guess people aren't finding it when they search for cases.
Anyways, I found it too late after I had ordered the i-blason, but even if I had found it, I would have gone with the i-blason as it looks more "appealing" to me with the stitching around the front of tablet.

Wow, I never noticed where the i-unik case was 'placed' as far as categories are concerned.. that makes a lot of sense when it comes to no reviews - nobody knew it existed, haha!
EDIT: The Uni-Lock clip on my case broke after a few weeks. Most reviews on amazon report the same issue. The lock is flimsy and will not last. Sadly this nice case is ruined by a cheap plastic latch. I returned mine and can no longer recommend it.
I got my i-Blason i-Folio Slim Hard Shell Stand case Cover for Hisense Sero 7 Pro Android Tablet with Elastic Hand Strap, Stylus Loop & Bonus Stylus (3 Year Warranty) (Black) today. Ordered from amazon, shipped by i-BLASON (now available fullfilled by amazon for less).
First of all, the case is great. Fit and finish are excellent.
Sadly though, the "Stylus Loop & Bonus Stylus" are nowhere to be found. I suspect this is an error in the description (copied from the "Leather" case). However, one review on amazon from June 12th apparently did get the stylus, so I'm not sure what's up with that? Gonna have to send off an email or two and see what happens. FYI: Even the description on i-BLASON's site says it comes with the bonus stylus.
Now, back to the case...
The snap-in fit appears to be quite secure. It's hard to pry the tablet loose without bending the case sides back, so I don't think I'll have to worry about it accidentally popping out of the shell.
The lock for the cover works in both the open and closed positions, giving a solid, secure feeling to the case. I haven't seen the "Leather" version of the case, but I imagine the hand strap works better with this version with the cover locked.
Holes for the rear camera, flash and speakers are positioned well and should not interfere with those features. There is no need for a hole for the front camera, because unlike the "Leather" version of the case, there is nothing covering the front of the tablet. This makes the hard shell version of the case thinner, but I suppose the "Leather" case would offer some additional protection if you were to drop the unit with the cover open. Personally, I prefer the more open design.
To use the stand feature you pull the "bottom" of the tablet away from the flap (the Velcro that holds the rear cover flat when you are not using the built-in stand feature is quite strong) and then slot it into one of 3 grooves in the front cover. The 2 rearmost positions work well, but, for me at least, the front one (the one that would have the shallowest angle) does not. The tablet slips easily from that slot and lays down flat. For a shallow angle it is possible to just fold the cover under the back and turn the tablet around the other way (180 from the normal stand position). That creates a nice low angle for typing on the screen.
All in all I'm quite happy with the case, but disappointed about the missing stylus.
If anyone has any questions I haven't answered, ask.
Aloha, Tim
I've been a big fan of the slim cases that Blurex has made for the 7" tablets, specifically the Acer A100 and Nexus 7. So, when I picked up a Hisense Sero 7 Pro, I contacted Blurex to see if they intended to produce a case for it. Sadly, they passed, but I noticed a similar case for the $99 Sero 7 on I-Blason's site. It lacked the cut-out for the rear-facing camera, but otherwise looked like a nice option. Well, about a week ago I spotted the same case for the Pro version being offered on Amazon for $19.95 and ordered it. The package arrived yesterday and so far I'm very pleased with the fit and build quality of the case.
Like the Blurex cases, it doesn't cover the front glass as all. It protects the corners and offers easy access to all the ports and buttons. Unlike Blurex (which uses a leather covered spring-clip), I-Blason's case has a plastic clip on the side to hold the cover closed. It's attached to the case with elastic and opens easily enough with one hand. You can also use the clip to secure the flap when the case is open. As long as the plastic doesn't break, it seems like a nice feature. If someone wanted to lose the clip, and X-acto blade and some sandpaper would make easy work of it.
It also has a built-in hand strap which is nicely made as well. There's a piece of Velcro which holds the hinged part of the back leather to the plastic case. If you open it, the case acts as a 3-position stand for the tablet in landscape mode. The only this that's a little strange is the hinge on the front cover. I've played with the case for a day, and haven't found a situation where the hinge actual comes into play. In fact, it actually causes the cover to pop-up slightly when it's closed, although I'm sure it will flatten out after a couple days.
The verdict? I'm really and impressed with this case. It's nicely designed and has a high-quality build. For people who aren't a fan of cases that add bulk or cover the bezel, I highly recommend the I-Blason Slim Case.

I looked at this exact same design this weeked. The same case for the Samsung Galaxy Note fits the Sero very well also.

I wish I would of found this case before I bought a case this weekend. Or at least before I tossed all the packaging and receipt. :laugh: I ordered one of these as well. It took 2 case purchases before I was happy with my Kindle Fire. I suppose buying two cases for the Sero will be acceptable.
I probably will continue using the case I picked up and I will talk about it in a second. I have a bit more unique requirements than most others. My tablet rides in the trunk of either my scooter or my motorcycle almost daily. I was looking for a case that had good enough protection to prevent any damage from tossing around in the trunk. I had been putting the tablet inside my soft-side cooler but I think the i-blason with the plastic case should provide enough protection.
I have been using the Medge universal 7" case. This is a bulky case and fully zips closed around the tablet. I think it is great for activities like I need it for with superp protection. The piece the tablet sits on is about 1/8" wider on all sides so it gives good impact protection. I like a slim case for day to day use and I am betting I will switch to the i-Blason one, but I have been happy with the medge one as well.

What is the link for that cover....I haven't seen that one on Amazon.....I think you have the winner for me.
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.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191366031321
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.
So I run 3 to 4 times a week and have been using my S3 by plugging in the headphones and storing the phone in my pocket, which tends to become uncomfortable depending on the shorts I use. Are there any armbands that people have used for the S6 that would fit the phone in a case like the UAG?? I ordered my G920F and can't wait!! I ended up ordering a couple wireless pads along with a iottie car dock, and a 4 port car charger with one port usable as quick charge when needed. It's a shame I pulled the trigger over the holiday weekend though instead of the beginning of the week and receive my package typically a couple days later. I debated back and forth over the S6 and the G4, but in the end, I stayed loyal. I am still happy with my S3, just needed to change carriers!! (going from Sprint to Cricket)
Curious too. I want to bring my s6 to the gym but i always seem to bump into dumbells n stuff at the gym. I dont wanna accidently smash my s6. Armband would be perfect.
I always recommend QuadLock when this question gets asked. I switch phones about every 3 months, and I like running with an armband, so it's really the only option. They are also having a sale today, I believe?
I always just buy a cheap case off of Amazon, attach the universal device mount to it, then use the same armband I've had for the last 6 phones. (Normally I just pry the universal device mount off of my previous phone's case and glue it to the new one). If you don't mind making your UAG case less attractive, you can attach it right to that case, but I use the Ringke clear one from Amazon for my S6.

I doubt it would work with the flip covers; and even if it did, the flap wouldn't stay closed. It would probably work with the other ones, though.
I got one of these cheap ones: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UA4G4QA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've used it thus far with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Otterbox Commuter, and Verus Iron Bumper and all have fit well.

Just ordered one... Sounds like what I am looking for... The only worry I have is the headphone hole. Is it is a good location?? I haven't received my S6 yet, but I'm patiently waiting!!
Yeah, I think it's a pretty good location. I can't say that I've used it, though, because I have bluetooth headphones that I run with.
Have you checked out FlipBelt? I've been on the fence about trying one out. Currently 1,460 4.5/5 reviews on Amazon.
My wife has a pretty similar belt, and she likes it. Belts are not for me, though.
Agreed, it would be similar to wearing in my pocket. With the armband, I don't have to worry about the phone bouncing around.
Anybody use an arm band when they're working out or exercising? I live in Florida and it's Mars hot this time of year but I love to be outside and run. I need something to help keep my phone mostly dry. I'm currently running with it in my pocket but I sweat so much that I'm a bit concerned that all the sweat could affect the phone over time. I've tried a few cheap arm bands but it's next to impossible to use the buttons and the plastic over the display makes it not as responsive so the quick gestures don't work. Any suggestions?
I bought the "HTC One M9 Easy Fitting Sport Case and Athletic Armband" from SUPCASE. I bought the black one for myself and a pink one for my wife. We use the Spigen [METALLIZED BUTTONS] Neo Hybrid Series for our main case. My wife uses her armband when she works out and I use mine when I mow the lawn. The case is a soft rubber material. The nice part is that the armband is not tethered to the case. The Velcro on the band seems to work very well as it keeps the band nice and tight on my arm there is a nice reflector on it. I bought ours from the SUPCASE site. But Amazon has it too.
