Case inside of Case

I know the title sounds weird but it's exactly what I'm looking for. Right now I have THIS Case. But when I take the phone out of the case on my belt it is no longer protected from drops.
What I am looking for is a belt case similar to the one above that will hold a TMOUS HD2 WITH a hard cover or silicon cover.
Anyone seen anything like this???

your link no worky

Fixed, doesn't really matter what case I have now though. I'm basically looking for a hip case that will hold my HD2 WITH a hard case on it.

Solved...
I am ordering a hip holster for a PPC-6600 which is .10" x .12" x .30" larger than the TMOUS HD2. This should allow me to attach my hard cover to the HD2 and fit it in the hip holster.

Check my post here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6461687&postcount=125

i recentaly switched my wife to my TP2 and got the HD2 and i found a leather case for 5 dollars at the local flea market and it lets me use the silicone case and the body glove case "i switch out cases depending on if im going to be in the office or out on site" and both will slide in the leather case so the phones always protected ...if you realy need this set up im sure i can pick up another case and send it to you

Old thread guy...

I use this TPU case
and put it inside this case
Snug fit at the beginning, but overtime it gets better.

Did anybody try this case?

I am looking for a case with a belt loop or reliable belt clip, and I saw this one on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290498557075
I asked seller a question about how Streak is held in the case (pocket? Velcro?), but the seller never answered.
Did anybody try this case, or do you have other suggestions for a case with belt loop / clip?
Thank you!

I bought a Otterbox Defender for now. Great protection, but, I'm always
checking to make sure it doesn't pop out when I slide in and out of a car.
I too would like a leather flip case, but haven't found one yet.

Yeah it looks like there aren't any leather cases with a belt clip. I don't understand why not, but looks like a while before they are getting one if they are at all

I ordered this case on eBay for my Streak. They will custom make them so that you can carry the Streak with an Otterbox or TPU case on it. I got mine with the belt clip. It's pricey, but there aren't many options. I will do a write up when I get the phone and the case (awaiting both).

I had a case with that style of belt clip for a smaller phone, I think it lasted about 3 weeks before it came apart. You've paid hundreds of pounds for your phone, don't trust it's safety to a couple of pounds worth of case.

Looks like the flap is secured by a magnet, or cases that look like that and have no velcro or button are usually secured by a magnet.

I was gonna say the exact same thing.
Are you sure of the build quality on this?
How do you know that belt loop isn't gonna snap right off and send your streak flying into the street?

seidio holster vs otterbox holster

I want a case with a holster and these are the only two I've seen besides ebay stuff. I cant tell which offers the better holster though. I would be carrying it horizontally so I like how the otterbox has the clip on the top. The seidio seems like it has a better clip though since it has a spring in it. Any thoughts?

Otterbox. The way it clips in place it ain't going anywhere. I've owned several. The clip on the Seidio seems to want to push the rubber of the case off the phone, have to really push it out of the way of the phone to put it in. Of course this is speaking of the active...where the rubber part is just too loose.

Also the sedio doesn't allow you to put the phone in face out like the otterbox does. I have the sedio surface and i really like it. Much more slim than the otterbox defender, however i want the ability to put the phone face out as i plan on using the holster as a car mount. Hope this info helps

Thanks for the reply guys. I also want to use a holster as a car mount but also plan to use the holster for my belt. Does any one know if you can order a spare holster with the otterbox?

Should be able to. Would most likely have to go direct to them. Contact them and see what they say. I'm curious as well

after seeing pictures posted of the OtterBox I'm thinking that it's just way too big for this phone. I might go with the siedio surface holster and case, I would go with the OtterBox Commuter if it came with a holster but it doesn't. Has anyone had any experience with the surface holster and case with thier note 2?

Siedio cade is also available at Best Buy. They make their Platinum cases brand. Comes with built in kick stand and belt clip. $35

Finding a holster for Otterbox Commuter?

I have been searching ebay for a holster that will fit the Commuter (one than can be put both on screen and back) and while there is none of them making a claim like that, I was wondering if maybe I could try a few cheapo ones that come with other cases and get lucky or if maybe others would try their cheapo one and get lucky. We could all report back if one of them worked or not and maybe eventually we would find a decent holster.
Both my Otterbox cases are still travelling via super slow international mail so I don't yet have an idea of what thickness would be required. So can owners of the Commuter report what thickness of the Note 2 with Commuter on are we talking about?
If anyone already has one not working with the Commuter, can you also give info which one it is? Mr Google told me Seidio holsters don't fit, that is as far as I got till now.

+1. I would be curious also. I had a Defender and hated it , picked up a commuter instead. Much better for my needs. I always wondered why Otter box didnt make a holster for the commuter. I don't always holster my phone but the option would be nice.

What do you think about this one? Not completely cheapo but the look of it seems similar to Commuter to me... http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-BLACK...003714?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416f966dc2

http://ca.shopandroid.com/seidio-active-holster-hlssgt2asa/4A24A12991.htm
Apparently the Seidio Active holster fits the Commuter. These guys offered the Commuter and this holster as a package at one time.

It does work no problem with the Incipio dual pro shine case so unless the commuter is quite a bit thicker, it should work too.

Androidcentral.com used to sell the commuter with holster as a package. I'd say it must work. Send them a mail, they'll confirm it.

Just found this...http://www.note2forum.com/forum/gal...-choices-what-you-going-use-20.html#post13157
A couple posts down the guys says he's tried it himself and it didn't fit. Too bad, the dimensions are pretty close.
Anybody know of a decent clip type holster that will fit the commuter? Summer is around the corner and I can't stand anything in my pockets let alone this bad boy...

Here you go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XXL-Leahter...322357?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416dff4db5
They actually state it explicitly they pouch WILL fit Otterbox Commuter.

Thanks for looking, however I should have specified that I was looking for a clip type holster. They are much more convenient and less bulky.

Looking for a clip type also. Got a leather one from amazon that said it fit the commuter but it was to tight on the phone.

Some people say Seidio Active holster works ok with it, and that one can be purchased directly from Seidio website. Also maybe try this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39690360&postcount=77

Has anyone ever verified whether the Seidio active holster "HLSSGT2ASA" actually fits the commuter?

This works with RedPepper Waterproof case, so should work with Commuter no problem.

Anyone want to buy like new otterbox defender case for note 2, still in box, used for 20 minutes, didn't like. $10 Pm me

Looking for a protective case with a belt clip

The HTC M8 was the first phone I decided not to get a case for, just a belt-clipped holster...... I am glad for HTC Advantage.
Anyway, not taking that chance again (especially with how slippery and thin the M8 is). My go-to for cases used to be Otterbox, especially since the defender series has a belt clip. Problem is, I saw nothing but complaints about the defender model for the M8 on Amazon's reviews. Even the guy at the Sprint store told me the defender model wasn't very good and that I should get the commuter. (Not a fan of the built-in screen protector of the defender anyway, I would have probably taken it off, I hated it even on my old EVO 3D, much less a phone that has a 1080p screen).
So now I am at an impasse, due to the fact that I have not really used any other cases, and especially not knowing which ones are good. Add to that fact that I want to be able to carry it on my belt and I am very low on options. Most of the top case recommendations for the M8 had no options that came with a belt clip, and I didn't trust most of them as they recommended the Otterbox Defender.
Browsing retail stores so I could get a good idea was also fruitless, RadioShack, Best Buy, etc carry very little in terms of the M8, even the Sprint Store I mentioned only had Otterbox and a few Speck cases (which didn't seem that protective)
I care very little about looks, I want to get a case primary for protection (reasonably.... not going to get a $100-300 waterproof, bulletproof, etc case that is 5 inches thick). Currently, the UAV Navigator looks interesting, though I couldn't find a store that had it so I could tell how thick it actually is, plus, no belt clip option.
I suppose my best bet is getting a case and a seeprate belt holster that is big enough to hold the phone with the case on it.... but pretty much all belt holsters just simply tell you which phone they fit, none would take the millions of options of cases into consideration, so I am not sure where I would even find a holster that fits whatever case I get.
Any ideas?

I'm in the same boat as you. Ordered a Tech21 case for now, but I need a belt holster and relatively rugged case!

Pretty sure Seidio's Convert case comes with a belt holster. I've had good luck with Seidio Surface cases on the past--my Note II survived a fall from four feet off the ground thanks to one--and IIRC the heart of the Convert is a Surface.

I had this one recommended to me from another forum:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IGUUKRY/
I won't lie, it IS kinda cheaply put together, but it's pretty decent for it's price. Rubber casing with a hard shell, kickstand, and belt holster. It's a little hard to get it in/out of the holster at first, but it gets broken in after a bit. Still not as easy as just clipping it out of an Otterbox holster, but even the Sprint store rep told me the Otterbox Defender cases for the M8 are terrible. And it's far less likely to fall out if you are running or otherwise shaking the holster somehow.

I have this one and like it a lot.

I always go with Otterbox, and I actually love the otterbox I have for my M8. I got the defender, and I was surprised how thin it is! I've had an Otterbox on just about every phone I've owned, and this is by far my favorite one. Don't know why all the hate is there on Amazon.

They must have more than one type of Defender. I've had Otterbox Defenders on all my iPhones (3, 3GS, 4 and 5) and loved them, but I looked at the one for the HTC One M8 and it was really flimsy and cheaply made. It was so horrible, I'm surprised they would even put their branding on it.

I just got my phone on the 1st of the month and went with this case because it came with a holster: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pt-kick...lack/5096589.p?id=1219107945030&skuId=5096589
I like that it's sleek and thin and seems to be ok so far.

How is the kickstand? Can you use it while holding the phone to help stabilize it more in your hand?

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid fits in the Seidio Surface holster. That's the combination I use. You can actually get the Platinum case combo from Best Buy since it's a rebranded Seidio Surface case and holster, and it's cheaper than buying it from Seidio. The holster also works well with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases.
Aaaaaand if you wanted more protection, the Seidio Dilex holster is a perfect fit with the Spigen Slim Armor case. I think someone mention this in this thread already as well.

Can you link to that? I can't find it? I've liked Seido in the past (expensive though). I got the clear unicorn beetle supcase, and think for looks that I would prefer that...but nice to have a holster.
I got this one as well as the supcase:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9J3I2I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had a similar one at one point for my droid. It's alright. This type of case though while pretty slim, your phone will bounce out of it if it drops from more than a couple feet onto a hard surface. Usually the phone is fine (the case absorbs) but on the upbounce the phone will pop out,

Thanks but that link seems to be just for the case, not a holster/case combo. Am I misunderstanding?
I guess it's not a huge deal anyway as I refuse to buy anything from best buy...just wanted to see the item to see if it was available anywhere else.
