So I just got the Streak coming from an iphone. I wanted a simple belt clip you know the plastic holster that you can just snap the phone into. I couldnt find one for the dell streak anywhere including ebay. I found something on the UK ebay site and emailed them about it but never heard back. So i went to Microcenter here in Ohio to get a keyboard for my computer. They sell alot of odd stuff there and they had a row of cases for phones and other computer peripherals. I look at the phone cases and nothing even came close to fitting.
Then i happen upon cases for portable hard drives. I come across this "Inland Pro Hard Drive Enclosure Case" for 2.5" hard drive enclosures. Its made out of a mesh material (like running shoes), is a vertical pouch with elastice on the sides. The case is about 4" inches high and about 1/4 inch thick when the elastic is not stretched. It has a flap the goes from the back to front. It is covered in velcro and there is a patch of receiving velcro on the front. Importantly it has a belt loop in the back. Not as good as a clip but functional none the less.
I slip my streak in it and viola perfect fit from a width and thickness perspective. It slips in firmly yet easily. From a hight perspective the case covers the screen entirely, About the top 1/4 -1/2 of the phone is exposed. Basically the top bezel where the FCC resides. The velcro strap is long enough that it can bridge the top of the streak and latch on to the patch of velcro in the front. Its a strong enough bond that it will hold the streak in the case even when turned upside down as you can see by the attached pictures (Its the picture in front of the Computer monitor- sorry my desk is also messy).
The best part is that the case was 9.00. The web site is inlandus.com and the UPC code (i think that is what it is called i used in on SHop Savy and actually found this for 4.99) is 0 1240502200 6 . The inland stock number is 02200,
Anyone looking for a case i would recommend that you check this out.

Good to know.
I have been to this same microcenter ( is it the one in cleveland ? ) few times and have looked around for a case for my streak too
I always look in the portable HDD section .
Looks like streak people are always in the same league.
I have a question for you. Does this case have a belt holster.
I searched for the upc code but could not locate it
I'm actually down in Columbus but am also familiar with the microcenter you are talking about in cleveland.
The back of the case has a belt loop. You need to run your belt through it but it does work. Not sure how strong it is though or how long it will last. Here is the link to the microcenter link. If that doesn't work just type in "inland 2.5 hard drive case" in the search field.

Thanks once again. I will have a look at how i can modify the belt part.
I need the one with a belt clip and i do not wear a belt at work.
I purchased this Nintendo DS case from Best Buy for about $11.00. It is fairly well padded and will protect the Streak fairly well from bumps and drops as well as the structure of the case has solid panels to help protect it from "pokes" to the screen.

Case fully opened
Rip out the plastic DS holder
Put a few drops of glue on the zipper teeth right about where the slider is shown, so the zipper cannot be fully opened. DO NOT glue the slider down.
The back of the case is useful for holding things like a sync cable
**** Caution, test fit your streak first, some of these cases are a bit smaller (about 1/2 inch) than others, which will prevent the Streak from fitting in it correctly
The white one I just purchased, looks almost identical to the black one I currently use, and the black case fits the Streak fine even with the Commuter case on, but the white one will only fit the Streak naked... or perhaps after the months of wear on the black one it has just stretched enough that it fits it better
I'm going to sew another caribeener loop across from the existing loop so it can be clipped to another belt loop. That will prevent it from flopping around so much.
Nice

A quick tip: don't bring this case to your first date. Or the second date.. Or third...

just about to buy the streak and want to know if anyone has found a decent holder which can fasten to a belt ... dont wanna but the streak in a pocket due to issues which users have had with the screen cracking and want something which i can walk around with and have the phone on my belt like normal ...
any ideas ????
I went to target and bought a nintendo DS zippered case. I ripped out the plastic DS holder from the inside and glued the zipper closed about an inch down the long side so it only opens across the top.
I hook the caribeener to a belt clip. it is about the perfect size. It slips in easily and has a fair amount of padding for bump-proofing it.. Can't beat it for $10.00.

Below are some pics showing where I glued the zipper closed to make it into a slip pouch and how it fits using the poly case from Dell

so you have the case just flapping about on your waist?
easecases on ebay are your best bet on a quality case at this point

It doesn't flap badly. When I get the chance, I'm going to sew a loop for another caribeener on the other side so it rides more even. I also get nervous for it while riding my harley around and a second hook is cheap and easy security.
Got this one from ebay, its fraying a bit around the edges and worryingly the screen rests against the magnets or if you flip the streak over the screen is against the metal belt hook, although i've used it daily for around 6 weeks with no damage done.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140417784761
I'll second that Easecase suggestion... Don't let that 'made-to-order from china' tag drive you away, mine is pretty high quality stuff. Word of warning though: if you are ordering a vertical slip case, I would suggest requesting a slightly looser fit. Even though it fits perfectly, the large flat surface area of the Streak adds to the resistance involved in inserting/removing the phone (though I suspect the problems with mine will fade as I break the case in).
I will vote for the ease case from ebay also. They may be made in china but the fit and quality are great. They are easy to work with also.

+1 with gilrad, the only downside was that it takes about a month for it to arrive which wasn't so great for me cos I also requested for the case to be slightly bigger but they didn't actually make one slightly bigger so I have to wait another month for them to send me it...though they were kind enough to let me keep the one they sent. At first, I couldn't even fit my phone in (especially with an invisible shield on, but I've managed to stretch it slightly but it's still tough to slight in and out.

This is the one i made
I got the £3,99 flipcase from RebelSIMCard.
It has a belt clip with a lock so the case cannot slip from the belt.
Quality is not super but for the price you can't go wrong!

Just ordered my easecase... I requested that they make it slightly larger - we'll see if that works out.
BTW, you guys are going to put me in the poor house! LOL! $40 here... $20 there... I keep spending money on this darn thing! LOL!
Just saw this at best buy... tried putting it on cool but the power and volume buttons are reccesed and hard to press but still cool looking tho

Well spotted (if not photographed ), hoping the Defender becomes available outside the U.S. soon.
ummm, it fills my lappy lol
I just picked one up and it works great. I don't think the buttons are hard to press at all...
My only complaint right now is that the cutout on the back that allows the Dell logo to shine though isn't lined up right at all. It's kind of annoying...
I'm going to write Otterbox about it. I'll post pics later if I remember...
Is it thicker then the Impact case?
Edit: pic links should be fixed...
For everyone's viewing pleasure I have (had) the impact case, decided to go for the commuter mainly for the fact that it looked easier to pull out of my pocket and I liked the style more. Seems to be the same thickness, also seems to fit a bit more snug which I really like. Only thing I may not like is the plug at the bottom for the charge port, would like it to fit a bit more snug. Other than that, LOVE it.
In case your curious, photos taken with my lady's evo (not that impressed with th quality IMO...)

I bought one of the cheap jelly cases on eBay for 6.97. It actually is slimmer then otterbox but still offers protection. I prefer it over my amzer jellycase and otterbox impact case.

Well when I look close, the logo is low to the left, but not cut off anywhere. I wonder if the sticker on the back varies between streaks - its not a imprint or impression, literally just a sticker. But i do wonder if its the case or the logo. Seemed alright on the impact as well. Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of play with the case, so I don't think there's a 'trick' to getting it lined up? I took the case off, then put it back on... logo still sits low and to the left of the circle like before.
I think you're right that it's a sticker, but I think the battery cover is indented a bit where the sticker goes so it would be hard to line it up wrong on the battery cover.
I could deal with the small amount yours is off, but mine is way off.
Here is how mine sits, I'm going to email Otterbox about this and see what they say...
That would irritate me
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah, yours is way off... I'd be disappointed as well with that. Another reason it's probably the sticker - the commuter has 2 separate layers. You wouldn't think both layers would be off by that much...

I just bought my phone from Best Buy a couple days ago, maybe Dell did something different with the battery cover with the Best Buy phones?

I doubt that... Changing the position of the sticker would mean changing the factory build process... I doubt Dell would do something silly like that since the cost involved.
have a few questions, how easy is to get the cover and the back door on/off to replace the battery? is the otterbox really tight or is it easy to remove? and why would you pick one against the other? and how do both perform when playing "draw" (cowboy style) with your phone, can you in a hurry effitiently take out your streak from your trouser/pants pockets to answer a call ON TIME? How many rings before you have the streak up to your ear?
sorry i have so many questions

- The impact is easier to get on/off, since it's just one layer. The commuter does fit tighter, but I wouldn't consider it "difficult" to remove and get access to your batter.
- Why one or the other? For me, the commuter looks and feels of higher quality, fits more snug, seems to have good corner protection. The answer to all your questions contribute to why one or the other.
- Taking it out of your pocket - main reason for me to get the commuter. Its easier to get in/out of your pockets with the hard shell. But i like that you still have some grip with the silicone on the sides and front. Can't comment on how many rings, but i'd say its close to as if it didn't have any case at all.
- I will say the impact is much better in terms of grip. I'm never worried holding this one handed in landscape when i had the impact. The commuter makes me a bit more cautious, but isn't like it's slippery either. The impact seemed like it was glued to the leather seats in the car - commuter, not as much but better than stock
Thanks !! very helpful.
Have any of you got the invisibleshield full body protector on? Am wondering if it will fit with the commuter case, thanks.
Also anyone in the UK able to buy the commuter case as that's where I am located.
Has anyone tried building a custom case for their SGT? I ask because I intend to make one and your notes would be appreciated Im sure people will ask 'Why build a custom case when there are tons available?' Well I fancy myself a DIYer, and I want my SGT to stand out at work,and 'blend in' when I'm out and about. Sad to say I live in a country where carrying a nice gadget around is asking for trouble, so I'd like to disguise my SGT as a regular planner or hardbound book. I'll put up some pics when I get it done, maybe even put up a step by step guide if anyone's interested.

Can't wait to see it, wish u can get it done soon
I was thinking of creating a custom case at a moment. When I looked for something to start from I realised DVD boxes have almost the same size as the tablet.
Might give ideas to some.

I bought a hardbound book from a sale for the prototype. Figured I could practice on it before buying a perfectly good planner only to destroy the pages heheh. More updates soon!
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Here is my custom case...
Made from bubble wrapped mailing envelope, cut down to size - by placing tab on a 'corner' of envelope and tracing out a pattern with 1/4" or so of extra envelope material. I then stylishly wrapped and sealed the sized down envelope with my favourite multi-purpose wrap and fastening material. Stylish and functional!
After a few weeks of use, I noticed the bubble wrap had a tendency to leave a smudge pattern on the screen, when I extracted the tab. So I split the case back open (on a seam), and lined the front inside surface with some lint free cloth that came with some piece of hardware I had acquired over the years. I fastened the cloth using some small strips multi-purpose fastener. I re-sealed the envelope with another layer of multi-purpose fastener/wrap. No more smudges!
planned upgrades:
add a scrap of velcro to the flap and case body (probably use 2-part epoxy for this)
fabricate small pocket on front of case, so I can tuck in a few small nick/nacks (ear phones, small BT device, usb cable). I will probably make this from multi-purpose wrap/fastener and add a velcro tab to close it.
.....
I had made a decent neo-prene sleeve for my Dell Mini 9; years gone by. I have much left over neo-prene and plan to make a sleeve for my TAB. This was made as a stop gap solution until I find the time to make the sleeve. (OTH, I just ordered a new man-bag, that may make the need for a new sleeve/case obsolete).
one of the medium sized black and white covered composition notebooks (non spiral bound) is just a bit larger then the tab ... and about as thick (for the 100 page one, if you can find the 120+ page ones it would be better) ...
cut out a pocket on the inside in place of the pages for the tab to sit ... and pick up one of the little leather binders that normally carry the note books and there you go ...
old styled look, common and cheap look but still semi professional ... all with the tab hidden within it.
Started on the book type case but messed up the spine, so I'm starting over on that one, but I was able to finish a different one last night.

Materials:
1 old Starbucks planner leather folio
1 plastic back cover for SGT
2 strips of Velcro tape
1 tube of superglue
Instructions:
I removed everything from inside the planner. Then, I attached the strips of Velcro on the inside. The matching strips go onto the back of the plastic case. I used superglue to hold things together,but you can sew it onto the leather if you want. Be careful not to get any superglue on the SGT, let things dry properly before placing the phone.
Hope you guys like it, I'm loving it so far coz the leather cover can be folded to the back like a regular paperback book!
Will do the book case this weekend.

Here is the album of more photos of the case....
https://plus.google.com/photos/1042...ms/5777724988825050929?authkey=CIzz9oGX49azaA
What we have here today is what I got today in the mail. A multi angle leather folio by Anker. See amazon link above for their details. It is $9usd PLUS shipping, depending on where you are. If you are on prime, then more power to ya. LOL
Anyway into the case...
I have to preface, I do not normally buy cases like this for a 7 inch tablet. I was given this to review and just giving it my fair shake....
This case is a good case for $9usd. At this price point you cannot really expect quality like Marware, so please keep that in mind. However, IMO, the fair price for this type of case, I would put it in the $20 range.
Leather...is this leather? Seems like it, but it is very thinly bound to the card stock cover. The stitching is ok, because of the quality of leather, I didn't expect a lot. As for added bulk...it does add as much bulk as my Treegloo case though. But the only thing this case has going for it is the multi-angle viewing ability.
This is done by a snap button found on kids winter coats. Meaning it's a bit bulky, but it does the rotating without a large rotating mechanism. The only negative about this is that the button kind of protrudes out to the backing, in which you can see here.
Now getting this to landscape mode is self explanatory, but using this to read portrait needed a little fiddling. In using the case in portrait, you have to swivel the case and then only the middle and outer groove can be used. If you use the back end groove, the tablet is guaranteed to fall on itself. You can kinda use the outer edge groove, however. And you can use this in portrait AND charge at the same time. Win!
And another thing about this case that I liked is that the case can come apart. Being the rotating mechanism is a button, you can undo it and carry it like a normal case without a front cover, which is nice IMO. A good alternative if you ask me.
Bottom line, would I recommend this case? Well if you are looking for a simple case for under 20 bux, yes. The advantage of multi angle viewing and taking the case apart, makes this worth getting for a backup case.
I guess having a Treegloo as my first case may have spoiled me LOL.
Any questions? Lay 'em on me.
wow, fantastic review.
i just recieved it today, great.
A good alternative I also think.
Just received mine today via USPS.

Compact
Not a whole bunch more added bulk
Inexpensive
Customer service was a pleasure to work with
Closes with a elastic strap. very journal-esque.
Multiple viewing angles not only in Landscape, but Portrait as well. Very few cases offer this.
Dislikes
Snap/Button built into the rear of the cover treats you to a very un-even form factor.
Didn't like the extra hump made visible by the button
Not very supple. Feels very hard, and edgy.
Sleep/Wake feature did not work consistently. It only worked maybe 2 out of 7 tries.
Decent pick overall, for the money, it provides a great set of viewing angle options.

Won't recommend. Its pretty inferior quality. I ripped mine open just to see what was on the inside. Its literally cheap leather wrapped around a cardboard that's as thin as a cereal box. Very flimsy. And the magnet isn't even located in the correct spot (for sleep/wake)

Actually it is 3 piece. The pics from the seller looks like a 2 piece but it is hard rubber, followed by a hard plastic front and back that snaps together. The finish on the rubber is not the smoothest. It looks like I got a used case. The finish on the hard plastic is okay. I check for roughness and sharpness before I snap it on the phone.
As far as protection, probably as well as an Otterbox, Seido or Trident but the fit and finish on the other cases are probably much better. Going to keep it for now since I need the drop protection. Volume and power port switch works well and the phone is VERY WELL protected. Also once you snap the case in, it is almost impossible to remove as you can see by the coin mark and the fingernail mark on the hard plastic. Thickness is about the same as the Casemate toughcase on my Epic 4G touch.

Thanks for that insightful review. I got the case in yesterday and I ordered it off some seller in Minnesota. I think it's the closest "rugged" case out there for now until otterbox, trident, or ballistic shows up. I can't wait to snap it on my phone when I finally get my pre-order in on friday (assuming Sandy and the new blizzard doesn't affect shipping)
it has a really bad finish :/
it makes your 700$+ phone looks cheap but as you said until something better comes up its a good case
btw from the pictures i can't tell if it covers the notification light or not, any info on that?

Notification light is not covered. You are correct, it is a very rugged case with a rugged finish. I have to wash my hand before eating since the case is probably made in China and the finish on the rubber is so "dull".
So far I have tried:
Samsung original flip cover: Not worth the $32 since it doesn't offer much protection. Thin, Sleek, sexy, well made, but no drop protection.
Samsung TPU protective case: Very nice finish, very thin, a tad slippery, but the rubber around the metal bezel is very tough material. Cons, not enough drop protection for front screen.
Poetic thick cover case: Covers the phone well, good drop protection but having that flip cover makes it a bit awkward to take picture.
I just might pull the trigger on that black Seido Active case if they don't have a color one soon. The Trident Aegis looks very nice and covers all the ports but not available for a while. Good price too at $25.
So far, the only accessory that I like is the LG HBS -730 stereo bluetooth headset. Decent bass once it fits in your ears, nicely laid out controls, voice confirmation on connect and disconnect, connects flawlessly each time. I find myself using the play, track controls often when in the car without the need to take my hands off the steering wheel to mess with the phone when playing music. Phone calls sound very clear to me and the reciever. The only cons is limited range for listening to music.
I had this case
dint like it and on the same day when I was taking it off it got broken
I had paid around 1000 Indian Rupee which is around 20$ including shipping
Have you tried taking it off the phone ?
If you ever need to do so , do it with caution as it may damage your phone (the effort of taking it off)

Yes, and I can confirm that it is a pain in the rear end. Do not attempt this with finger nails because they will break. THIS CASE IS NOT FOR YOU if you like to change case often. It is the hardest case to remove. Just because of that, I would not recommend it. The trick is to use a small flat blade screw driver, not to sharp so that it will pierce thru the hard rubber(pretty tough rubber). See the pictures. You have to pry the bottom cover over where it snaps with the top cover. So stick the screwdriver between the black and red part and pry the red part up and it will detach from the top cover.
Thank you!
I've bought this one, too. Once I attached it to my Note 2, it was well protected. Doesn't look any luxurious, but it does the protective job. Removing the case is a pure nightmare, unfortunately I broke two clips on left side while taking it off. It's still usable, but I won't attach it back again. Wouldn't recommend this case to anyone who will need access the battery, SIM card or memory card.
One more thing. If you're using micro USB charging cradle like I do, it's a no go with this case. It doesn't allow to fit the connector fully. It's fine with the actual micro USB cable, though.
In general, I'd prefer slim solutions likes of 1 piece of TPU (including covering the corners fully) or 2 pieces hard TPU (front and back).
I bought a sedio active , arrived today i like to go with black color n its looking nice on gray note 2
