I have been looking online for a vertical pouch style holster for a while.
I found one I think might work but it's 39.99 and I hate waiting for shipping...
Every time I'm out I check for any type of anything that I might be able to shove this thing in! Drives my family crazy I'm sure.
Last night I was in hhgregg (a store I never go to) and I found this Garmin pouch that fits the gn2 perfectly!
I also have a flip cover, modded cruzerlite tpu case and a flygrip on the phone.
The pouch was just that. No clip or anything.
Tonight, I was about to go out to get lunch/dinner and hunt for some sort of belt clip that I could try to attach to the pouch. I looked down and saw a metal clip that came off one of our garage door openers..
OMG I had it all along!
The clip is optional so it slides off the opener. It also happens to have 3 holes in the back of it. Perfect for sewing!
Ok dinner would have to wait.
I got out some black thread and a needle and proceeded to sew the clip to the pouch.
I also mashed the clip down a bit with pliers because I think it's made wider to be able to clip to a car sun visor.
It's not perfect because it sags just a little. The pouch looks like neoprene but it's actually fabric covering some sort of thin foam so it's not quite as firm as neoprene. BUT....
It is very low profile and will definitely work for now! I can't believe I will finally have something to hold my phone in where I can actually get to it without digging through my purse.
I figured I'd share this in case someone else might be interested!
Ok It's time to eat now! I'm starving!

I wore my G2 on my hip for 2 years, but I'm just thinking this thing is too big to belt clip.
Don't you feel a bit funny with that much hardware on your hip?

My wife refused to leave the house with me when I jokingly attached it to my belt.

It really doesn't feel that big to me. I guess I'm used to the size now.
I also have the option of covering it with my shirt which I tucked behind for the picture.
It's just so convenient to have it there that I've decided I don't care if it's big. It really is slim in the pouch. I'm not sure I would like it if it were thicker like a normal leather pouch.
Maybe I'll take another pic with more of me showing for size reference. Of course if I just put my shirt over it no one would even know it was there...

Hi guys,
Just got my note 2 and it is a slippery bugger. Although I went through two years with my evo 4G with a case with no ill effect, the note 2 is just that much larger and the case is slick. Have already almost dropped it a couple of times. Was wondering if anybody here has an opinion on this Yoobao leather slip case. i ccan't find any review on it. It's a little different from the regular cases I've seen mentioned.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=321068917281&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=69099617025
Any and all help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
asmd.
Using it right now. Got the black one. Feels like real leather. Even has a note on how to take care of the leather. Folds open good to thumb type fine and the opening for the s-pen is very good.
Has a good executive look to it.

thanks.. any notes/opinion on durability if dropped?
Haven't dropped the Note, lol. But it's more of a leather glove.
Edges with the stitching look like the would protect some but the back doesn't. Flip cover is padded a bit too.

Does any of you with the Yoobao have problem with the USB port cut-out being not big enough. Mine interferes with the microusb cable and prevent the cable from going all the way in.
I just bought this case in brown since i love the looks. I like it overall, complaints are that it covers up half the notification LED, and the microusb cut out is small. But other than that i love it, i actually returned the SGP valentinus before i love this one better, the leather feels soft (valentinus was hard).
So I picked a platinum case which seems like a re-branded Seidio, so it's not a bad case at all.
I have a concern and I did do some googling on Cell Phones and Flash Memory with magnetic fields. I've always been a firm believer you don't mix magnets and electronics. Everything I've read says it won't hurt anything with the flash memory nor the phone itself. My personal experience says otherwise. I had a magnetic pouch for once my for Samsung A990 and it caused weird screen discoloration when removed from the case. I also have had experience with another device and magnets. Two difference cases I bought for my Acer A100 which ended causing issues as well.
So really is it a good idea to keep a case with a magnet powerful enough to snap to my fridge around my phone?
Plenty of folks around here have been using a Platinum series or Surface since the day they came out without any ill effects. I've got a Platinum series case and I use it frequently, but I'll admit to using a TPU or folio-style case more often than not at home purely because I am very, very mildly concerned about the magnet. That said, it hasn't caused any distortion on my screen or anything like that.
Not an issue. Make sure to turn off under s-pen setting pwr management pen detection (when s-spen is in a holder or not) to avoid any issues with magnet interference.
Btw, I just got Seidio CONVERT which is Surface/Platinum with an extra protection shell on top of it. Just tested it out, took a ton of pictures, and will post a detailed review in a day or so. VERY IMPRESSIVE case. Defender was rushed in with lots of design faults. This one is a design perfection! And actually already sold out at Amazon where you can get it for $55 (which is actually 2 cases in a package, Surface and Convert kit on top of it). But anyway, expect a detailed review!!!
It really depends on the type of magnet and its strength if it will hurt electronics or not. I can't remember which ones are safe to use off the top of my head but a quick google search should turn up the answer. I know they are more expensive than a regular magnet so most (all?)cheap cases don't use them, but mid - highend cases *should* use them. I think it's a special kind of low strength neodymium magnet that doesn't effect electronics, but I'm not 100% positive on that. The magnet should be just powerful enough to hold the weight of the closure shut against gravity, but not strong enough to hold the closure shut against the weight of the device + gravity. So definitely no refrigerator magnets unless they are only designed to hold a sheet of paper and anything heavier will drag it down to the floor.
I like to break stuff!
Thanks! After my post I did a little more digging and found that some people seem to believe there is a dead spot with the spen even with the Seidio. I did my own experiment and noticed that the magnet is strong enough to hold a precision screw driver against it while I jiggled it. The screen responded to the magnet when held right up against it. I realize that I am not going to be holding it next to the screen daily or holding screw drivers. I ended up mixing the cheap Verizon cover with the holster and it seems to work well enough. I only planned on using the holster when I wear jeans anyway. plenty of room in dress pants.

I have a leather holster with 2 magnets that hold ot closed but the part where the phone is is shielded from the magnets by a sheet of aluminum sewn inbetween the leather panels. They also sewed one in the back panel as well to hold the shape of the holster as the leather is really soft. It makes a damn good holster, look and feel of soft leather and strength and protection of an aluminum box. And the aluminum doest affect signal as it actually has an antenna booster built into the aluminum plates. I actually get better signal near the holster. Although I can't remember where it came from since my dad originally bought it for the og note then ended up ordering a handmade one for like 200 $ and gave me this one. It has a sort of woven or carbon fiber texture to the leather. I'll get some pics of it later. The one issue it had was the belt clip wasnt riveted in so it came unstitched after a while of pulling it on and off, but I actually prefer using the belt loops on it now as it doesn't stick out as far anymore. Under a tshirt you can't even tell its there.

Ive been using the best buy case since I got my note. I dont notice any spen interference. But I also only use the spen every so often.

Just a friendly FYI. Platinum is Seidio. The only difference is Seidio is the name on the product if you buy it online and Platinum is the name if you buy it at a store like Best Buy. Don't ask me why they have different names for the same products made by the same company, they just do lol.

Apologies for the long reply...
You can check out XVIDA. I use the XVIDA Car Mount and an XVIDA StickyPad. (Note the XVIDA StickyPad works with the phone naked or with a smooth back case)
The are three variants. Suction Cup, Air Vent, and CD Slot Mount.
I also use their Desk Mount and Mountable Pad.
I am not sure if the XVIDA StickyPad is compatible with the Pitaka case. I am curious to know though. I have an X-Doria Galaxy Note 8 Case Defense Lux Carbon Fiber case, XVIDA StickyPad, Case friendly 0.33mm dot matrix tempted glass protector, and a uh ring finger thing. I like how the Pitaka case looks not sure about drop protection.
This case and screen protector combo has saved from a weird drop. Flying out of my hands screen first unto the metal protusions of a shopping cart. Broken screen protector near the Iris scanner and bottom near the default location of the back button. Screen was saved with no scratches or anything. I panicked though since this was just 3 days from my purchase.
Note:
If the Note 8 case isn't smooth you need to use stronger double sided adhesives.

Oh sadly the Scosche Magnetic Car Mounts won't work. The magnets have to be around the qi wireless charging transmitter on the mount. Magnets and metal interferes with Qi wireless charging. In fact Qi wireless charging also slightly interferes with the S-Pen when using a wireless charging powerbank. I even got a notification pop-up stating that.
Mophie also has a solution but I don't want a battery case.

Hrm, yeah the mophie also isn't water resistant. Wonder if the Pitaka really is the only solution for the time being...? Too bad so many people seem to be having customer support issues with them!
I have a Pitaka case and it is the only one that works with mag mounts and wireless charging. I think Pitaka is just overwhelmed with orders. Before I got this case I had to use a metal plate a small one and put it on the outside of my case all the way up by the camera for it to work with my wireless charger. It looks horrible but it worked. So when I heard about Pitaka I jumped on it fast. I ordered mine and the car mount and I received it in about 8 days. I would just keep checking back with them. It is well worth it.
Actually.. I did a slight modification to my spiegen, and it does both.. The only thing I did was cut one of the round magnets in half, and then, placed it in the normal indention for the magnet.. And I have used it now, for at least a good month without issue.. I also turn the phone landscape on the charging stand sometimes to watch a video while charging...

Are you saying that you cut the round metal plate in 1/2 and only using half of the metal plate on the top part of the case cut out to provide more room for the wireless charging magnets?

I think your complicating it in your head, more than it really is, in action.. Visualize what I wrote, and then, look at the two pieces that I linked to.. And it will come to you.. You honestly just cutting the magnet (plate) in half and sticking it in the case indention that is already there.. Versus using the whole thing.. It's really, truly not technical at all..

Am I the only one that doesn't use the metal plate the mount comes with? It just sticks to my phone without having to use a metal disc. I'm using a sosche magnetic mount, same story with my previous s7e and s8+, granted I am using one of the super thin peel case.
I was using the pitaka for my note 10+ didn't looked back since then.
Light, strong, nice, wireless charging and NFC works well with the aramid fibre. I have other carbon fibre casing which causes the NFC not to work.
Anyway best part is that the case is so thin and it's compatible with any magnetic mount! This means you do not need to have a separate metal plate on your phone or case, this casing have it embedded inside the case.

I do not have any pitaka car mount, but I uses this one other magnetic car mount and it works fine, with wireless charging too.

How is the cut along the side of the phone? I have had multiple cases from Pitaka but the on on my Note 10 Plus I couldn't stand and returned . They made the sides a little to short in my opinion and it was difficult to pickup because the edge. Tried the LaterCase and the sides cam up just enough to be comfortable. I want another Pitaka because the magnet and Samsung pay still working with it.

Other MagEZ cases work with the MagEZ car mount, but not the MagEZ case for Note 20 plus. However, their wireless charging car mount does work with MagEZ case for Note 20 Ultra.
Why not get the charging one? It's good to have a little charge while driving.
https://www.ipitaka.com/products/magez-mount-qi-for-s20-ultra-p40-pro
Is the air worth $10 more than the MagEz?
I have the MagEz on my S20 Ultra and rarely use the magnetic feature.
Plus, I think the finer pattern looks better even though the phone is huge.
I've been using the MagEZ case since the Note 8, and have the older Qi charging mount for my car (Not quick charge), and haven't looked back one bit. I'm trying to decide if I want to pick up the MagEZ Mount Qi Desktop, or the MagEZ Juice(Has a detachable Qi charging pack). Now that I look at their site, I might need to upgrade to the mount for the N20U......
They have some great products and even though the case doesn't offer much in the way of serious fall protection, it's very thin and has a great texture to it.

If you don't use the magnetic feature, you may consider the air case. Air case is more expensive because the aramid fiber used to make the case is rarer. By the look, you can see the pattern difference, and the touch is greater. And of course, lighter and thiner, without the magnetic feature.
i would like to see them make it in different colors like they do for the iphones. Also would like to see the heavy duty case they also make for iphones
Just got the Pitaka MagEZ case and it's nice but still wish the sides came up more. Here is it compared to the Spigen slim fit. You can see when you hold the phone with the Pitaka you are holding right on the cases edge. It's super slim so not to big a deal I just feel like it's less surface area and feels like it's going to slip sometimes. I have the Latercase coming soon and will see how that one is.
For me the Pitaka Mag case looks perfect. Mine should be here any day.

You did get the wrong case... air case has no metal plates, no magnetic feature. Sure thing it will fall off from the charging mount. You would need a Mag case, or get some metal strips for the air case.
Received my MagEZ case & car mount. Case is good, very light and slim, might not be super helpful for drops, but for surface level protection it should be good. There is a small amount of lift for setting the phone face down and around the camera. There appears to be a removable insert around the camera hold for the maybe 1 mm lip, but I'm not planning on taking that out, that doesn't appear to be an "intended" feature.
The car mount is good too, it holds on to the phone well
enough, but it has to rest on the camera module to get a snug grip and to charge the phone. The contact point that touches the camera is soft rubbery, so I don't think it'll scratch it, but if some dirt or something gets on there it may? Not sure
