The EVO 3d I'm using as a temp while I wait for my 4 is small enough to comfortably put in my pocket. My Note 2 was not. and the 4 is bigger...
I have been a fan of the Seido Surface cases in the past but the one weak point is the belt clip.
I've broken so many of them that it's ridiculous. I went through 4 holsters in 2 years on my Note 2 alone.
And I do not even want to add up the holsters on prior phones..
I need something metal that can take a small bump. I'd like a semi thin case like the surface but the holster has to be strong.
Can anyone recommend a sturdy clip on holster case?
Have you thought of moving to a leather holster case? I was in the same boat until I went to a leather combo with a metal clip.

I have tried some holster cases but they were either to clumsy to retrieve and store from quickly , or the clips were terrible like the rest.
Since I have never owned an Otter box I cant speak factually, but they have always seemed so bulky and the poly clip looks the same as the rest. Are the clips actually more durable compared to say the Seido clips?
There pretty much the same I've broke a few Otterbox's also….. Check out Turtleback Holster Leather Case fits Samsung Galaxy Note 3 without a Protective Case, interior fits 5 7/8" X 3 1/4" X 3/4" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I9LM2VW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_zlcnub0RDDPV2
Although they're not yet released Seidio has several models available w/ holster.

I love the Seidio case/holster combos! (Specifically the Surface with Holster) My past two phones, however, have been the slip case/holster combo sold in the Verizon store for around $24.95. The reason I went with those is two-fold: It was available right away when I purchased the phone, and it is just slim and protective enough that it doesn't make my large phone into a gargantuan phone.
My Note2 in either an otterbox defender or trident aegis case lives in one of these. It's quite adjustable. Normally I have the retention strap removed unless I know I'm going to be in odd locations and I think it may fall out, though I'd have to be upside down for that to happen, but I've found myself in that position for work sometimes... I've broken every plastic clip from three different vendors, so this was the strongest holster I could find. Pretty sure I'll break before it does.

What is the lanyard/cord for at the top? It looks easily removable but wondering what purpose it serves.

These are actually made for two way radios like military and police carry, so the strap is to keep it in place.

Thanks for this:good: been looking for something like this, I ended up buying this cheapo one for about 6 bucks on ebay for the time being that works pretty well but the case looks ugly.

That link doesn't state it's for a Note 4 but the fact that it's a preorder leads me to believe it is although when you navigate to the Note 4 page on Seidio's website almost everything states "under development".
http://www.seidioonline.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-s/9431.htm
Other thing is Best Buy sells a comparable case made for them by Seidio for $20 less but they don't have them in stock yet. BB calls it a Platinum Series.

Yes, I missed that. Since it's not on the Note 4 page do you know if they have a release date for the Convert Combo somewhere on their website?

I have no idea. Maybe someone can give them a call or shoot over a email asking about the convert cases for the note. I'm more into slim type cases because I think it just looks more clean and I don't like the extra bulk, I usually don't drop my phones.

I called them last week and they said there was no ETA for the Convert combo. I noticed the Surface has the release date on Seidio's Note 4 webpage and I look at it daily so I'm hoping the Convert combo gets a release date soon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MP3OWVI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3RZJ9YYQ3ASDK
If it doesn't I'm going to order the above case as it's the only one I could find with covers for the mini USB, S Pen & headphone ports with a holster but it doesn't have a kickstand. Amazon shows an ETA of 10-27 in my shopping cart so I'm holding off ordering it hoping the Seidio will become available in that time frame.
Now the other problem with the Seidio is apparently no one offers a tempered glass screen protector that covers the flat portion of the screen without the halo effect.

I was looking at the supcase also but it's the bulk that bugs me.. The note is already a big phone... I'll be using this ebay case plus clip until I get a seidio.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Black-B.../371164711314?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:1120
Not really a bad case... Just needed a belt clip for my note cuz I carry 2 phones, cigarettes, lighter, Chapstick, keys and wallet on me all the time lol. The only flaw with the ebay one is that it's not very pretty, but I'll choose that over a bulky case any day.

I've got to get something soon as I'm deathly afraid of dropping this expensive phone and damaging it. Actually I wouldn't have minded waiting another month or so to get the phone so I could have had the case beforehand but the $200 trade in deal was too good to pass up. A case with button covers is much easier for me to use too as I'm always accidentally touching the side buttons and I can grip the phone better.
I used a Diztronic TPU on my Galaxy Note 3 so I was very happy to see a preorder on Diztronic's website for a full matte version for the Note 4. I preordered on Nov.16 and received the case on Saturday.
My impressions of this case are very positive. The case is slim and fits the phone nicely. Mine shows no bulging or loose edges. The matte TPU does provide some screen standoff on the front side. I measured this at 0.75mm. Mic, headphone, USB and pen holes align nicely and the buttons retain a nice tactile feel with this case. I use a Verizon Note 4 and can confirm that the case I received DOES have a slotted left side mic opening to support the Verizon Note 4. The button covers are molded into the TPU but have pronounced edges, so they are easy to find without having to look at the phone.
I use the YooTech wireless charging receiver insert and the Diztronic TPU fits nicely with this receiver in place. I do not believe it would fit with the factory wireless charging back as the case fits perfectly to the stock phone. The case does have a small raised ridge around the camera lens and small ridges around the speaker. This gives some protection for the camera lens and keeps the case from "sealing" against the table and muting your notification tones. The area around the flash is open and I am able to very reliably get heart rate readings for S Health, something that isn't easily found with many thicker cases.
The TPU material is quite thin. Diztronic's website says 1.6mm and my measurements seem in line with that number. The case does not add much bulk and for sure feels slimmer in the hand all-around when compared to the Spigen Slim Armor I had been using since I got the phone. I'm sure it won't provide the kind of protection that the Slim Armor does, as the cushioning material is thinner, but it sure does feel nice in the hand while offering some level of protection over a bare phone.
One of the things I really like about this case is the matte finished TPU. It feels smooth and slick in hand and does not show much in the way of fingerprints. The matte finish slides easily in/out of your pocket. Diztronic made a good move by relocating their branding to the side of the case, which adds a little bit of grip and keeps the look super clean overall.
Overall, I'm really impressed with the Diztronic Full Matte TPU case for Note 4. It provides some protection for the phone and is a little more grippy in-hand than the bare phone. I like that the screen stands off a bit and the camera lens is somewhat protected. I also appreciate that the full matte finish doesn't collect pocket lint or gunk and doesn't show much in the way of fingerprints. And it looks classy!
I really like the Note 4 as a caseless device. It feels very slim for its size and feels great. Unfortunately, I know I am going to inevitably drop it at some point and want some protection without making the phone too bulky, which is really easy to do. The Diztronic Full Matte TPU feels like it hits that sweet spot for me. Time will tell, but for now I give it two solid thumbs up.
:good: :good:
I purchased this case direct from Diztronic: LINK I expect they will probably be available via Amazon shortly. They are currently showing as available on Diztronic's website in both matte black and matte grey.
Updated to include Verizon mic confirmation and pics attached.
Does it have an elongated mic opening for Verizon users? This is the case I've been waiting for...always a favorite.
Absolutely loved mine for my previous phone. Best TPU cases imo. Looking forward to seeing your pics.
I'll probably pick one up even though I might opt for a more protective case this time around.

Yes, my apologies - I thought I had called that out but must have lost it when editing. The Diztronic Matte TPU DOES have a slot shaped opening which supports Verizon Note 4. My Verizon Note 4 is shown in the pics I've added above.

Thanks for the update! I just ordered one. I've had a Diztronic case for my last 3 phones and have been happy with all of them. I'm sure this one will be no different.
thanks for the review! i've always been iffy with diztronic, yet i seem to get one per each phone i have just to have one lol..
out of all the TPU's i use, they're always the most bulky which i dislike, because i like them thin..but there's NO good note 4 tpu's out there whatsoever. i'm currently using a clear S line TPU, which is good and all, but the mic holes don't line up perfect, and it doesn't fit as well as it could..plus it's clear, and we all know clear starts looking like crap after a few weeks. i've gotten like 4 other TPU's and shell cases and I hate all of them.
diztronic is nice because they do a lip around the camera, which NO tpu's are doing right now, which means your camera is pretty much flush against the surface which i hate...and they also have two little bumps by the speaker to elevate the speaker off the table so it's not muffled! FINALLY, a TPU maker with some sense knocked into em!
either way, i ordered the gunmetal gray because every diztronic i ever got was always black, so i'm looking for a nice change. ordered today, they say those ship out tomorrow the 26th, so maybe I'll get it by saturday or monday with thanksgiving coming up and all. this will be like my 6th or 7th case already for the Note and I've only been using 1 lol
Does it fit with the OEM Qi back?

I don't find the Diztronic bulky at all. The Diztronic for the Note3 was very rounded feeling, where the Note 4 Diztronic is more squared off and edgy, just like the Note 4 itself. I think you'll like it and the holes line up nicely as pictured above.

As noted in my review, I do not believe it would fit with the OEM back. I say this because it fits relatively snug as-is with the stock back or stock back + thin Qi receiver. But I don't have an OEM Qi back to try it with.
My black one is scheduled to deliver on Saturday. I will post my thoughts at that time. Not like anyone cares.

Haha, what's up brother? I really liked my diztronic on my laggy as hell S4.
So I'm hoping to like this one as well. Good luck bro!
Diztronic makes the best TPU cases as far as I'm concerned. I was disappointed when they had to delay the release due to the Verizon mic hole revelation, and ended up going with a UAG case, but anybody looking for a great case for under 10 bucks, this is what you want. I might even pick one up for myself, just in case.
Diztronic is awesome. I had their case on my Note 3, LG G3, and now I'm waiting for the Note 4 case that supports the OEM wireless charging back. They made one for the S5, I really hope they make one for the Note 4!
I ordered mine today. It is only 12 Euro, together with shipping to Ireland, directly from manufacturer's page.
Already have Spigen Capsule and it is great, but flat buttons and flat speaker hole are not perfect for me. Diztronic seems to meet all my requirements. Hope it will appear to be true

I forgot to post yesterday, but I got my black Diztronic yesterday, a day earlier than estimated. It is the best case I've tried so far, although I haven't tried a lot yet.
The fit is perfect, not too loose or too tight. It adds almost no bulk which I really like. The matte black is awesome and feels great in the hand. Not super grippy, but it will do the job. All of the cutouts are perfect. The camera has enough raise that the lens won't touch a flat surface and the charger fits in without the case interfering. The buttons are also very easy to press, no problems there. In fact, the buttons are easier to press with this case on than without it.
The only thing I noticed is that in a couple areas, the frame moves pretty easily if you pull on it. Especially near the charging port. It doesn't sag at all which is great, but I just wonder if it will become an issue over time. Possibly not but that's the only small thing I've noticed so far.
Other than that, this case is fantastic and blows away any Spigen that makes your phone uneccesarily bulky and for less money.
I do also have an official Samsung protective case coming that is supposed to ship next week. I've heard that's also an amazing case, so I will compare once I get that.
I didn't take any pics of my Diztronic since so many great pics have already been posted. But let me know if you would like to see any.
Hi, I currently have a Note Edge and a Samsung Flip Wallet case cover I got for about 20$ in an online retailer in Korea (since I live in Korea).
I heard UAG cases are pretty good, and protective. I currently use the Flip Wallet case since I do not need to reach high to power it on/off, because it turns itself on/off. But I have noticed some scratches on the Edge side (not the display), so I'm thinking of a new case.
I also saw that Verus cases are good, too. I desperately need help to choose my case. Thanks!

Hello,
I'm one of those people who buys many cases for their phone. When I had my Note 3, I had about 7 or 8 different cases that I switched to every now and then. I ran across the UAG case on eBay and ordered. The UAG case instantly became my favorite, it became my daily driver and basically the only case I used after that. I liked the style, protection and how well it stood up. When I saw the UAG case for the Edge I didn't even think twice about ordering. My wife ordered me a Verus after reading reviews on it while she shopped for cases for her Edge. It offers great protection, easy to pocket(very smooth) and is a beautiful case. The Verus is too smooth for me and I see the potential for it to be dropped. If they made the other Verus cases like for the iPhone I would definitely order, but for now nothing beats the Maverick in my eyes. Would like to see the Maverick in other colors beside clear, I'd order them as well Hope this helps out

I`m using the Verus Case since one Months, on my other Phones i`m only using Spiegen Cases, in my opiniun the Verus is really same quality! Love it, smooth and easy to use on our Edge!
I have the black Verus case for my black Note Edge and it looks beautiful. I love the way the left side has a bit of a curve to it where the volume buttons are. I already bounced my phone off some concrete from about a 5 foot drop (it was in my lap as I was getting out of a truck). It bounced off a few corners and landed face down. Between the Verus case and the Skinomi screen protector, you can't even tell that happened. No damage to anything. Granted it was only a 5 foot free-fall, but this was the 3rd or 4th day I'd owned the phone and I swear by the Verus. My friend immediately went and bought one for his Nexus 6 after watching my Edge bounce unharmed across some pavement.
I just got my verus shipped as well. I can only judge by the look but i recon my edge is rather good protected wearing it.
As long as it doesnt fall on the edge, that is (but there will be no decent looking case protecting the edge a 100%)!
My wife just commented "gosh, it´s even bigger now" but she is always complaining about the size of my toy
So my verdictabout the Verus case: decent look - promising protection!
I think the raised portion will prevent the edge from making contact with the ground.. The only thing I'd be worried about is something else's edge coming into contact with my Edge's edge..

Thanks everyone, ordered my UAG case and I'm excited for it! Even though I could've got the Verus for like 15usd because Verus is a Korean company, I want to try a UAG since I've never tried it and I think both designs are good and they offer excellent protection.
i just got my edge. the guy i got it from had the verus black on black. i like the color and composition of it but i personally don't like the curved sides and how the corners kind of bulge out more than the middle. i understand it was designed that way for better grip and slip but i am gunna be looking for one that has a straight left side but kinda the same build
Verus [Heavy Drop Protection] Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Case, the case is really good, nice design, high quality
Black Verus Case Beautiful
I purchased the Incipio Dual Shine Pro case had trouble with the black liner around the Camera coming off peeling and making a mess. Thought once peeling stopped case was nicer without the liner around the camera. I now have purchased the Verus Heavy Drop case in Black. I love the Verus case very high quality. Absolutely no complaints in my opinion a far superior case. I recommend it highly. It is flawless.
I had the incipio and now have the UAG. I easily prefer the UAG case, stylish sturdy and a conversation starter. Haven't put the Incipio back on since using the UAG.
I have had the UAG case for 4 days now and I love it!! It adds the right amount of grip to the phone, great protection and not to much extra weight. Not to mention that it looks ass kicking and I have been getting a lot of people to notice the phone because of the case. I had a UAG for my note 3 and love it for that phone as well. Can't go wrong with it!
I used the UAG for a couple of month and love it. The only drawback is it has a very rugged feel and width to it.
I had a Versus case and finally tried it out a few days ago. Imeditaly it gave my phone a different feel, I would say almost a more stock feel, compared to the rugged feel of the UAG. I like how the Versus has a very smooth back cover, where as the UAG has many indentations. Like someone mentioned earlier, the Verus is very slick on the backside, but I don't see the phone slipping out of your hands because of it. Even if it did, with the amount of protection on the corners, this case is going to give you all the protection you need. Also, the Versus has better access to the heart rate monitor, and allows you to place your finger on the sensor more flush. Finally, I do like how the Versus has a slight curve inwards on the left side, which makes it a little more comfortable when holding the phone with your left hand compared to the UAG.
Overall both cases are going to protect your phone from a 5ft fall, and both add a good amount of width to a already wide phone. You cannot go wrong with either case. I would say if you want a smoother feel go with the Verus, if you want a heavy duty feel go with the UAG.
u can put a screen lock app on the edge so u don't have to reach for the top.

I heard UAG cases are pretty good, and protective. I currently use the Flip Wallet case since I do not need to reach high to power it on/off, because it turns itself on/off. But I have noticed some scratches on the Edge side (not the display), so I'm thinking of a new case.
I also saw that Verus cases are good, too. I desperately need help to choose my case. Thanks!

Hello,
I'm one of those people who buys many cases for their phone. When I had my Note 3, I had about 7 or 8 different cases that I switched to every now and then. I ran across the UAG case on eBay and ordered. The UAG case instantly became my favorite, it became my daily driver and basically the only case I used after that. I liked the style, protection and how well it stood up. When I saw the UAG case for the Edge I didn't even think twice about ordering. My wife ordered me a Verus after reading reviews on it while she shopped for cases for her Edge. It offers great protection, easy to pocket(very smooth) and is a beautiful case. The Verus is too smooth for me and I see the potential for it to be dropped. If they made the other Verus cases like for the iPhone I would definitely order, but for now nothing beats the Maverick in my eyes. Would like to see the Maverick in other colors beside clear, I'd order them as well Hope this helps out

I didn't realize this was going to be so hard. What I would like is an OEM Note Edge s-view wireless wallet. So far I have not been able to find if they even exist. This is my first time in Samsung territory and too many choices sound too much the same. I have searched for this by also adding Note Edge 4 ... then I end up spending hours digging through Note 4 products.
If you know anything about this issue, please let me know, or even just tell me where to look. Thank you for your time
This January, I got the UAG Monarch for my Note9. It's a great case, but one thing that I've noticed is that it feels/looks considerably looser-looking around the top/bottom than previous UAG cases I've had. It's fine the way it is now, but after removing the phone from the case a few times a week since I got it, I've started to worry it's stretching and is looser than when I got it. Is it just my imagination, or does the Monarch stretch out over time with occasional removal?
if its the original one so dont worry, it is built like a tank, i have it for my note 9, the red one and still shiny and looks awesome
and i've been using UAG since s6 edge plus, the plazma one (semi transparent and not as fancy as the monarch) and that this still looks new till today with no scratches or yellowish aging
I have a UAG Monarch as well... my bottom is also loose/ softer than the other UAG cases ive had on other phones. I do think it is normal due to the large cutout for the Spen. The Spen cutout means it has less rubber at the bottom which makes it softer/flimsier compared to phones without the Spen like the s9 or s10

Would you say it gets worse over time though? Like does it get looser every time you remove the case?

Be sure you have an original UAG Monarch case. There are fakes going around on Ebay.

It's original, ordered from Amazon (the official UAG listing, not another).

the thing is the module they had for the double inject will go loose after times, especially when the case expose to the heat
When I've bought the Z Flip 3 I've bought the Spigens Tough Armour too since I've always used it on almost all my phone's. It the last days, the case had few problems due the fact that I always take it away when I'm home and put it on only when I am at work so, the bottom side of the cover kept slipping off the phone and this was pretty annoying.
I've contacted Spigen on their website and send them a video of what was going on.
Long story short, in the next few days a free-of-charge Thin Fit cover arrived home with an extra pack of adesive stripes inside for the Tough Armour.
Customer Service Level: Over 9000
Oh, it wasn't the two words that I was thinking of then
How are you finding the Spigen Thin Fit?
I also got a Tough Armor, but I find it's just a bit too bulky - the main reason I got the Flip 3 was that it fits easily in my trouser pockets. I then got the Samsung silicone case - which I really like, but I find that the (super useful) ring gets in the way on my car's wireless charging cradle.
I was going to get a Spigen Thin Fit, but I read a lot of reviews which said that it makes the fingerprint reader hard to use, so instead I've just ordered a Samsung Aramid cover, which gets mostly good reviews. Hope I've made the right choice.
(As an aside, why are cases for the Z Flip 3 so expensive? I usually spent under £10 a case for my previous phones, but for the Flip 3 they are £30+).

If you want a thin fit case, try the Ringke one. I got that after reading all the reviews about the Spigen thin case.
The RIngke doe sits job well. Don't get the transparent one, because the flash reflects through it. The standard matte black is fine.
On the pricing side, it's probably because they are 2 pieces, and not a standard shape...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just ordered one from Amazon - both the Ringke and the Samsung Aramid are on "free returns", so I'll see which I prefer and send the other one back.
I got this one, extremely satisfait with it.
