If any of you get either the Surface Holster or the Active Holster from Seidio, please post here what case you are using if you are not using the Seidio active case. With the original Note there were several cases that would work with the seidio holster. I would like to find that out for the Note 2 as I will be picking it up next week. I will be ordering the ColorSplash case with stand from Boxwave. I will try to get an idea on the dimensions so I can try one of the seidio holsters with it.

I just got my Surface combo today. The official Samsung Protective case fits into the Surface holster, but the rugged eBay case does not, it's too thick. I will note that the official Samsung Protective case fits just slightly tighter in the holster than the Surface case does, but it should be fine. I'm choosing my Surface case over the Samsung case since it has a kickstand.
I got a surface combo as well. The Boxwave Colorsplash will for in the holster for the surface

I'm looking for a thin case that i can also get a belt holster for. I see some of the seidio cases come with a clip but those are a bit pricey and i'm not sure how great those will be( havent seen any reviews)
If there's a good case out there that stays thin, I can always get a separate leather holster if i can find one big enough to fit the phone with the case on it.
Any suggestions? Or is the seidio case the best thing yet?
Really strong case for the Note.very good built quality. it fits my Galaxy Note very well.

Got the seidio active case and need a belt holster. Not the official ones I need something more sturdy like the leather (or fake leather) with the belt loops.
I have one by reiku and it doesn't fit with the case.
Anyone tried one with this case or know which will fit.
I'm looking for a fairly durable case (just for me clumsily dropping it... I work a computer job so it doesn't need to be bulletproof) with some sort of kickstand and a belt clip. The only 2 I've seen by reputable brands I've seen for this has been the OtterBox Defender (with the holster being the kickstand) and the Seidio Active (with the case having it's own kickstand).
The Otterbox Defender seems overkill for my needs, but my wife has an Otterbox Commuter for her iPhone 5 and I'm super impressed with the build quality. But the Commuter has no kickstand or belt clip. I was curious if anyone has experience with the Seidio Active and how it compares to the OB Commuter and if the kickstand being way off center is an issue in day to day use? Or if there are any other suggestions?
The Active for the Note 2 is getting somewhat dubious reviews based on the inner layer being very loose around the edges. I personally won't use an Otter Box Defender because the interior plastic case, in a perfect display of why hard plastic should never be in direct contact with your phone, scratches up the phone case itself, the built-in screen protector actually traps dust and sand under it (leading to scratches), and the whole thing caused overheating problems with my Skyrocket.
I'm awaiting a Seidio Surface case, but if you look on eBay or Amazon, you'll find cases that are essentially identical to the Seidio active, but $10-12 instead of $40+. On eBay, they're called Rugged cases. On Amazon, they're called Rhino cases.
I looked at the Surface as it also has a kickstand but I'm a little hesitant as it just doesn't seem to provide enough protection. Maybe I'm a little "gun shy" because I dropped my last phone and cracked the screen. That's also the reason I'm hesitant about any of the $10 cases on Amazon or Ebay. Does their protection really compare with something like an Otterbox or Seidio?
i actually ordered an Active that just arrived, but im going to send it back without even trying it. too many reviews about the rubber bring loose has turned me off from it. i have an Ionic case on it now and it seems that it might due until the Trident Aegis comes out. I'm wondering if the Aegis can fit in the Seidio holster? Otherwise I'll continue to pocket it and wait for something else.
I'm not going with the Defender because of the rubber inner peace loosing it's form over time with previous purchases. Ottorbox has had excellent customer service with replacements, but I don't want to go through the hassle.
I have the rugged/rhino case for my note 2.
It's ok, I personally don't like the feel of the rubber, especially compared to otterbox or casemate.
Also the bottom part of it is pretty loose.
It's ok for $8 but I'll be replacing it soon when something else shows I like.

I too have the Rugged (from eBay) while I wait for Seidio to process my refund of the Active. The holster for the Rugged is mega cheap, and the clip popped off on the first day that I had it last week. I contacted the seller, who actually sent me a whole new case and holster, which is nice, but it is the same POS holster that will break soon. It will do while I wait it out.
Just and FYI, I received and email from Ballistic that their case is now out for order.

What works with that.... I tried to forget using a holster but i need one. I currently have a UAG case and i know what i can get but i have a new case coming. So suggest "universal" holsters

There are so many custom sized cases online its impossible to suggest one that will work for your new case. You are going to have to sit down and figure it out the hard way when you get the new case... Most custom universal type cases are pleather pouch type cases. The quality will vary greatly. Good luck! This is why the majority of people only buy cases that have optional holsters.
Too big for a holster in my opinion. I keep my Note 5 in my front right pocket with nothing else in the pocket. That way I can get it quickly and it is also protected.

I just got my uag case today and was able to modify my supcase holster a little bit to fit it. It actually works pretty well.

It's difficult to recommend a universal holster, because the holster usually is going to fit the case that comes with it. I had a platinum (best buy) brand holster, case and kickstand combo case. I'm not going to recommend it cause your looking for universal holster that should fit your UAG case. But It's the case I used to use. It didn't last long, I threw it away after about a week worth of use.
It you want to just use the phone in a holster without a case, this Encased Spring Clip holster sold on Amazon is fantastic.
I'm using a Ghostek Atomic 2.0 case and this. I'm sure your case would fit it. Comes in black too. Not really a holster as much of a pouch, but I love mine.
