hey guys, i am used to keeping my phones clipped to my belt using a vertical holster or case. i'm looking for a really thin, low profile design. the one i have now is bulky and wasn't really designed for the note 2. any suggestions? thanks
EDIT: found this PDair one that looks cool.

You can also take a look at Noreve. They are not perfect (usual laziness for speaker/LED cutouts) but have a vertical holster with an optional metal belt clip.
Clip stays in your belt and you just slide the connector on the phone on it, so it doesn't get much fatter. Kinda like the system Nokia used years ago (and it worked great back then).

might sound like a douchey answer but the otterbox defender not only comes with an great case and a sick holster
Just wondering if anybody has tried using any of these holster cases. It seems that none of them are very well reviewed, with the exception of the Seidio SURFACE case. I normally use the rubberized holster shell combo cases for my phones. The Galaxy Note II variety seems to be of poor construction according to the review.

i tried the seido active case, and personally i didnt like the case itself because it was to slippery, but the holster itself was top notch. so luckily i was able to get a refund from amazon.
So next i bought the amzer shellster case, as for the case itself, i liked its low profile feel and it's somewhat protection(the top and bottom of the phone is not really protected if you drop the phone just right, but that isn't a problem for me). As for the holster, like the reviews say, its sucks straight out of the box, it just snaps in and out of place, but with some super glue it works great, the manufacturer should have just made it a permanent piece that can not be removed like the seido active case. overall i would recommend the amzer case after securing the holster clip with some super glue.

If super glue is all I need, I am leaning towards the Amzer case. I wonder if the Amzer case would fit the Seidio Active holster.

So what is your personal preference a far as a stout holster and case goes? I don't mind gluing or getting two holster cases so I can use the better half of each.

The Seidio case is by far the best available. An added plus is that many cases fit it. The Seidio Surface, the Amzer, most TPU cases (like the Sprint Body Glove) fit too. I ordered a UAG and hope that fits it too.

I ordered the Poetic since it was $5 on Amazon and I like the Poetic case on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I also ordered the official Samsung Protective Cover because of the 50% coupon off. I actually don't mind the thickness of the Poetic case but the lower right corner "lip" does not hold the phone tight enough. It needs to come up and over more like the front. However, it did not slip off the case while I was holding it upside down so the other 3 corners did a good enough job. The thing I like about the Poetic case is that when you snap the front cover shut, it will do a very good job of protecting the phone should it slip while you pull it out of your pocket. It does however, double the thickness of the phone.
The official Samsung case which is more like a TPU case also came in. It is very thin and I wish the front lip would rise a little higher to protect the front glass in case of a drop. Most of you might like it and think that it is thick enough. Anyway, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I am still waiting for this case to come in. I returned the official flip cover case since it was too thin and offers no drop protection.
I linked to that last flip case in another thread. I really like the way they've used the raised corner protection on the case. It looks like it should protect the phone no matter what angle a fall might impact on.
I'm eager to hear what you make of it once you've received it, along with a few photos of it on the phone, especially how much higher the raised corners rise above the screen. Tia

I ordered the Poetic slimbook case that released today. All the Poetic slimbook cases get great reviews on youtube for other devices. 4.95? The price was so cheap, I thought it was a mistake. The slimbook case looks very similar to the 50 dollar flip cases that are more stylish. Crazy deal. The hardbacks like this white one are ok..kinda generic plain looking.

Let me know how that one works out. How secure it holds the phone and more importantly, is there any protection at the top of the phone. Makes me want to order another one but I already have 2 cases plus one more coming and I only have one phone!

Yes, I really like the raised corner shown in the picture. It is coming from China so at least another week before I get it.
Aquaholik, any further feedback on the Poetic case? Would you recommend it?
My main concern is the added bulk, how is it for fitting in the pocket? Also how easy for removing? I might use the case for home use (to protect if kids use), and a TPU case when I'm out and about.
I have one ordered one from Amazon, but can still cancel as not shipped yet.

It is very easy to remove. No problem going in and out of my pocket since I wear slack pants most of the time. Jean pocket, forget it. I am neutral on it. It was $5, a bit thick, looks plain but offer good protection. I lay it against a flat surface on every angle and don't see any gap in drop protection. The stock case is nice but this is a big phone with lots of glass and that mm of raised lip isn't going to protect the phone when drop face down on concrete. So I am putting all my hope on the Ebay case. When I am out and about, the phone will stay in the poetic case.
Was just looking around but they have it in White and Black coming soon! But too expensive for me

So who else do you recommend for a durable case?
thank you.
I was hoping they would make a case. I currently have a Defender on my iPhone 4. I wish they had come up with another solution for the home button. As it is designed there is a hole in the screen protector which can allow dust to get behind the screen protector.
Instead of the otterbox I think I will be going with a Seidio active case with clip and apply my own screen protector.

Well i am still waiting for the otterbox, I have looked at the Aegis and Seidio lineup and i feel they do have some design flaws, i know it wont matter for a lot of people but for me its a deal breaker, look at the back of Aegis or Seidio, the outer hard shell doesnt have any support at the bottom near the usb charger, so whenever you pull your phone from your pocket the rubber will get misplaced and pulled in different angles, because it doesnt have any support. There are a few videos on youtube complaining about that.
Thats not the case with otterbox, the hard shell pretty much encompasses the whole device.
just my 2 cents.

A lot of people like the Trident cases. I'm especially excited for the Kraken AMS, which has loads of accessories (car mounts, bike clips, etc). Trident seems to develop a wider range of cases for their phones, all of which are cheaper than the lower end otterbox.
The main advantage with Otterbox is the plastic screen cover, which is built into the case. This is a hit-or-miss, depending on the preference. For me, it is a big miss because dust will invariably get in behind the screen (especially if you work construction like me), forcing you to remove the case to clean the phone on nearly a weekly basis. After a while of taking the case on and off, the soft outer shell will lose its tension, and will start to flop off when you don't want it to. This has been a constant design flaw with Otterbox.
The other thing Otterbox has going for it is the full size holster. I use the holster all the time, so this used to be a plus. The problem is that the hard plastic clip is prone to breaking.
I now go with the Trident Kraken and SpiGen protector. I don't use the included belt clip, and instead I use a full pouch which fits the phone case and all. This has worked well for my Nexus, and should work well for the GN2 as well.
It is a matter of preference though. This is only my opinion, and lots of people are quite happy with Otterbox.
Well I only had to swallow my pride for about a day because my new ebay case arrived today after only having ordering it about a day and a half ago so off goes pink and grey and on come white on white. I really wanted a white case since i opted gor the white Note 2 it just didnt seem right to put any other case on it. So here are a few pics. To me I would compair it to a siedio since it is a two piece case consisting of a silica rubber case and a plastic outer shell. The case also has a built in stand for watching movies as well as a holster whose belt clip doubles as a stand as well.
I tried to put the Note 2 with the pink and grey body glove case on it in the holster but it was too loose and would not stay so that lead me to believe that this combo in thick but not by much which equals more protection to me.
The case and holster were only about $12 bucks shipped and it is an unbranded unit but better built then some of the units I have seen that people have purchased off ebay.
I am happy with the case, I may or may not purchase a "Big Name Brand" case in holster in the future but only if it comes in white.

I just got this case in black, it's really very nice. I like that it covers all the buttons and the ports, it really provides some great protection. Having two options for stands is nice too.
Thanks for posting this, I just ordered one myself. I had a few questions if you don't mind. How does the overall fit of the case, is it easy to put on and take back off? How much thicker does it actually make the phone? Does it attract lint/dust when it's in your pocket, or is it too big to carry around in your pocket.
Link to ebay please??

please comment on whether or not the belt clip seems secure (if it will snap off easily or not)...both times i broke it i barely even touched it
with a phone this large i can see it getting caught somewhere or banging into something
also...does the phone fit properly in the holster (when the screen is facing out) so that you can actually use the kickstand feature? not the kickstand that is connected to the case...im asking about the kickstand that is connected to the belt holster... the one i bought for my GS2 didnt...it only fit when the screen was faced inwards
Thanks for showing this. I bought the white and black one today. I did consider getting the white only. It looks pretty nice. Thanks for sharing.

I find the case to be very easy to put on and take of if necessary, fit and finish a very good, as far as lint from pocket, I cannot comment on that one because that why I got a case with a holster.....lol. I dont think it makes the phone that much thicking and its weight is still very minimal.
I have not attempted to put the phone in the holster with the screen out. I had an experience once walking by the ironing board in my bedroom and bumped a metal piece sticking out and a had a wonderful 1 1/2 inch scratch on my beautiful phone but I or someone else will check that out and post it up later.
I do think that the holster clip is the weak link of this whole package. Its is no Otterbox or Ballistic but I have broken my Otterbox holster clip getting into my truck in the past.
I can say that for the cost it is one of the nicest, cheap cases floating around on ebay. I am happy to display my incredibly expensive phablet in it.

the holster clip is my concern...as you said that you believe it is the weakest link as well...like i mentioned i went through 2 of these on my GN2 (not the same exact one, but the holster clip part looks to be exactly the same) which ended up costing me like $30..that is why im strongly considered getting the Seidio Surface combo..but that is gonna cost me $57..i think i might have to pay a higher premium to get better quality this time around

does the phone fit properly in the holster (when the screen is facing out) so that you can actually use the kickstand feature? not the kickstand that is connected to the case...im asking about the kickstand that is connected to the belt holster...
The answer is...... It does not go into the holster with the screen facing out. I know that seems kind of weird since it has a kickstand feature but it does not slide into the holster that way.

The rubber around the top and bottom is the same as it is on all sides, no extra padding in possible problem areas. The rubber is soft which should give some shock absorbtion as well as bounce if dropped on a hard surface (may I never need to know)
I will try to post a pick of it later.
Looking for a case with a kickstand for the Galaxy Note 2. Anyone know of such? So far the only one I've been able to turn up here is for the original Galaxy Note.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Verizon sells a case with kickstand for the Note 2.
Only downside is it does not cover the top or bottom of the phone.

More pictures of this case in my short review HERE
It's a cheap case that will protect your phone, but the quality of inner silicone shell is not that great. It's too stretchy and will pull around the sides, and it gets worth with time especially at the bottom where micro-usb connector is. Also because silicone is soft, buttons will be too easy to press accidentally. But what the heck, for this price - its a workable Seidio Active knock-off with a kickstand that won't make your phone as wobbly in landscape as Active Plus, you can put your finger through the kickstand opening as sort of a flygrip handle.
The best case ever. No extra bulk and feels good to the touch, a hard case but with a soft touch feel, comes with a kickstand too. Bought one for the wife's too. I usually dont use cases but this one is a keeper . Go try it edit- Comes with a belt clip too

originally bought 2 cheap case/holsters one of which is the cheap 3 part listed in the OP. First one broke, second(OP) as noted the soft rubber part doesn't fit well and it's too tight in the holster. Finally broke down today ad bought this one from BB. There is no comparison in quality, Everything on this case is worth the money.
For my past phones I've bought the Verizon kickstand holster case combos and I've loved them, but VZW didn't make one for the note2 and the cheap online ripoffs are crap. Spend the money, your Note 2 will thank you.
Got this one for $6 shipped on amazon, cut the volume side out to work with my OEM flip cover.

More pics in the post a pic of your case thread, and mybat jolt thread. Kickstand hinge and latch is a tad flimsy but I haven't had any issues yet, and I dropped my phone 42' from the 3rd floor roof of a house, landed face down on gnarly concrete and not a scratch. Luckily the flip cover flipped closed or the uneven concrete probably would have been able to make contact with the glass, which would have been a disaster.
I like to break stuff!

I must agree with you. The belt holster has to be my most favorite part of it. High quality case. Very sturdy and makes me look like a fly kinda guy..
Here's a link to more pics of my modded hybrid PC/TPU kickstand case

You guys should check out a full review of Seidio CONVERT combo I just posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177450
It essentially Seidio SURFACE/BB Platinum with an extra layer of protection on top of it. Turn your original SURFACE into a new rugged case. But as a side comment, Surface is PITA to take off the phone lol!!!

Thats a little too insane for me since I dont drop my phone lol. But definitely a must have for those who require protection along with comfort (by that i mean the belt holster).

I wanted something different from an Otterbox. It's a great case, you might not like the color, but it's available in a lot of varieties. It has dust filters over the speaker (a must for my job) and I got it from Amazon.

I've had that case on a few of my phones; Trident cases are top notch, and although they are somewhat bulky, they definitely protect your phone really well..

Yep, they're as bulky as an Otterbox. I get a small piece of mind knowing that I could throw my phone across the street if I wanted to and not get a scratch. :good:
that bottom picture you posted looks really cool; the red and black of your case matches nicely with the WallPaper on the phone:good:

I've always just used the standard black otter box defender on every phone since my Dell streak, but that is a HANDSOME case! would you guys say it's equally as protective? screen guard?

It doesnt have a built in screen guard, but they might include one when you buy the case..
Its not as gigantic as the Otterbox, but it protects in a similar way..

The Trident case comes with a screen protector. If you're going to buy an Otterbox, I would get the Commuter. The Defender scratches the hell out of the sides of your phone, because your phone is rubbing up against hard plastic the whole time. With the Commuter, it's the rubber part that goes around your phone, then the hard plastic shell goes around that.
The last Defender I bought absolutely ruined the looks of my old phone.
I've been running Trident for about 4 years now and always will look to them first.

Trident case looks a little bulky.

I just got mine last Friday , and while this case is top notch it will probably go back to Amazon. One because of its size( it is bulky) and two the plugs for headphone and charging constantly pop open.

Nice looking case! Trident def makes 'em good, but why don't they make a belt clip holster? That I can see, Seidio isn't making an active case/holster combo for the flex, and Otterbox only has a holster if you go with the defender. So that leaves Ballistic. I have an otterbox commuter case, does anyone know of a belt clip holster that'll fit the commuter? When I had my Note II I got an aftermarket holster that fit my commuter case (that was given to me), but it seems this flex isn't popular enough to warrant the companies going all out for it. Unless I can find a holster for my OB communter case, I'll just buy a ballistic case/holster combo off ebay... amazon doesn't do well with shipping to Puerto Rico!
