Is there ever gonna be a belt holster?

I know the tab is pretty large but compared to my ipad i wouldn't mind having a holster instead of it always being in my back pocket i've been searching over and over again for weeks and still nothing, i know there barely coming out with accessories now but i would of thought someone would of made a holster by now. anybody find anything?

I'm also looking for a belt holster...its just much more convinient for me....anyone had any luck finding one?

I think a belt holster would look ridiculous with the tab. Might as well go all out and get a man purse for it.

i would like to have a holster too but im skeptical its gonna happen.
How about getting a ordinary case/pouch and making 2 vertical cuts for the belt to go through?
Im not going to cut my brand new zenus case though.

A holster? There are certainly some times I can see the merit, but that is a lot of weight and size!

Thought about that but its not feasible.cos youre not going to be able to take your tab out lol....ideal would be a holster pouch for me.

Belt Holster? I've taken to wearing cargo pants to carry the Tab around. It fits in the side pocket with no problem and the pocket still snaps shut. I don't think a belt holster is practical for me. Maybe a shoulder holster would be better.
Or.... how about a Fanny Pack?

Lol cargos haha, I've now been only wearing jeans with back pockets that can fit my tab lol and that really sucks, yeah any kind of belt clip/sleeve just something to hold it without needing a big enough pocket would do

How about a Safari Vest then? The pockets look big enough.

This is probably gonna be the closest they have for a belt holster for the galaxy tab....its called the galaxybag.....just ordered one and see how it goes

There is a coat with 26 pockets, one is big enough to fit an ipad so theres no issue with the tab.

that doesn't have a clip just has a back panel for a stand and they offer a universal clip of some sort from looking at the pics, would be nice to have some sort of leather sleeve holstered to our belt just so drop in the tab here and there.

How do you carry this phone?

I am thinking of buying one of these when they start tuning up used, I don't use cases or screen protectors on my phones and pocket carry. Given that , can you easily pocket carry these phones or are they too big?

Fits in most of my jackets no problem. It would probably fit in most pants but I have a messenger bag I carry so it always goes in there. I can't stand things in my pocket

I keep mine in a micro-fibre sheath from an old pair of Oakley sunglasses (perfect fit!), and from there in my pocket (until my PDair belt case arrives).

In my low waist jeans pocket... it fits fine...

The only time I see an issue is when I'm wearing shorts, but I'm pretty sure I got the same issues when carrying a Blackberry 9800 in the same shorts...

My Note easily fits in MOST jeans I wear & fits perfectly in my work trousers although you can see the monster bulging out a little...

It also fits very well in a dress shirt pocket

Fits perfectly in vest and pants front pockets, i can drive with GNote in my pant front pockets without feeling it at all!

Fits nicely in breast pocket on most shirts that I have.
Fits very nicely in the inside pockets of my Barbour jacket.
Fits nicely in my trouser pockets.
Don't wear (blue) jeans and I do not have pocket in my Pants!!

I wear it in my pocket (jeans), and my coat pocket. I don't know why a lot of people ask "does it even fit?" because it fits just fine! Yeah, it's bigger, but it's no wider than any wallet, and it's for sure thinner than any wallet!

Thanks for the responses. I usually wear "Cargo" Pants and shorts with the additional pockets. I carry my i9100 in the front or back pocket of jeans. I don; think the front pocket would work with a Note.
I really like this phone. Since actual phone use is about 5% of my SGS II I like the bigger size. I use it more for other things and the larger screen is tempting.

My jeans pocket, too.

in my gun belt!

Mine (when I get it) will be wrapped with the Body Glove TPU case, and chillaxin in my pant pocket.

Mine is naked for now. It's definitely a head turner. A lady asked me what company is it for and is it also a phone. She was using an iphone btw

Very very very carefully. I think this phone is a beast but it has an akelies hill in that it will break the glass if a coner is struck if it fall or is dropped. Im using an ebay case holster combo, not the amzer one. The one that looks similar to the seidio design.

The phone fits nicely in my pocket with its case. I do like to carry it around as you get a lot of people asking what phone it is.

Purse. It's got its own pocket, safe and snug. I do have a thin grippy case on it, and have a leather clamshell case on order, it'll fit in that pocket, too.

Suitcase and a luggage rack for transportation. No ive got a zenus diary case on the way.

I have basically swore off putting anything in my left hand pocket of any pants now, reserving it only for my phone, if I must put it in my pocket. If I am wearing a jacket, or in uniform, it goes in a breast pocket. I have learned the hard way that wet application screen protectors that aren't properly fitted to the phone to compensate for the rounded edges will catch on everything and eventually peel off. But ya, like the guy said, carrying it in hand is the best way, and I bought ensquared insurance just in case.

Body glove case for now in my left chest pocket since I always wear work clothes. And when not at work in the right leg knee pocket that all of my dickies have. Perfect for a phone of this magnitude. Can't wait for the defender to come out for it though.

Any case like the lifeproof?

Looking for a case that will protect against the elements like the lifeproof cases do

not that I'm aware of, as of yet. The closest is probably the defender.

I personally think seeing it does no justice. When you see the case underwater and how it leaves the phone 100% functional its just beautiful.

I don't think I could get use to a Lifeproof case and I would probably end up scratching the transparent plastic on the Lifeproof or wearing out the headphone and usb port covers. I would much rather use something like a SealLine eSeries pouch for when I need some protection against the elements. With a SealLine, I can easily take it out and put it back in.

I saw these cases for the S3 and iPhone. I wish I had one for the Note 2. I know it would make the device fat fat fat, but to protect it from literally EVERYTHING is a small price to pay! hehe. My Note was a present for me, and I'd love to keep it in perfect condition and sometimes you can't avoid it.... until you get one of these cases.

My wife hasn't worn out hers yet, though she usually doesn't carry it around with the headphone port in place. I really like her lifeproof case for the iPad! Instead of putting on a separate screen cover, they just put an o-ring around the screen. If they did make a case for the note they'd probably do this so we don't scratch up a plastic cover.

Best rugged case for note 2

Looking for opinions on most protective case. Defender seems like the best but the screen protector....and hearing about dust getting in between it and the screen is a little disconcerning. I used a seidio active case on my thunderbolt and loved it, dropped on concrete several times and faired very well. But after recently breaking few months ago and seidio not wanting to replace it like they used to...kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and I dont know if I want to go back to them. That's what she said. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!

Although I don't have the note2. I have an s3 and I have the otter box defender. I couldn't get the oil slick look to go away so I just took the built in screen protector out. It just pops right out. I have my full screen protector on there anyway to its still fully protected.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Ya that's what im thinking. Just thinking... should I buy it then immediately break the case by ripping out the built in protector. It just feels weird to break something so expensive on purpose lol. Then, does the adhesive that was holding it on cause an issue or removing the protector cause the case rigidinity to be compromised?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

If you can wait 3-4 weeks the uag http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/black-note-ii-case
But if you need it now then go for the otter defender or commuter.

Also, if removing screen protector from defender is there still benefit(s) to using that case versus an otterbox commuter? Being that there is an included screen protector versus built in already.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Rigidity shouldn't be compromised, and from what I read people use hair dryer to heat up the edge of the screen for a glue to soften, thus doing a clean removal of the screen. Glue supposed to roll off easily when its hot.. But you have to keep in mind, Otterbox gives you 1yr warranty if something happens to the case. If something breaks or gets damaged and you need to replace it, they will ask your original case back (I called them up to verify it) and even if you going to glue the screen back - there is a chance they will see it and might use it against you. I personally didn't want to take my chance, so I'm returning my Defender back.

Ya I was worried about breaking/enhancing this case for this reason. What did you end up going with?

Yes I have been watching this closely. Wasnt sure about how tough this case was. Looked more about design from what I could see, but I could be very wrong. I actually voted so they would make that case lol. But....not sure whats up with the holes on the back.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

I have two cases for my Note 2: a Seidio Active case, and, as of this morning, an Otterbox Defender. Both have their pros and cons. The Seidio is more comfortable in the hand, and quite a bit slimmer, but the soft rubber inner case peels away from the phone too easily and all sorts of nasty scratchy stuff can get underneath it. It also has a handy little kickstand. The Defender is bloody huge, and for me at least, not as comfortable to hold. But it really does feel bombproof. The inbuilt screen protector isn't wonderful, but it works ok. Just needs an oleophobic coating.
As for which is best, I guess it depends how much you think you're going to throw your phone around

Throw? Never, unless onto the bed across the room. Its more of, late night out drinking and drop it from like 5 feet high on to concrete... that kind of scenario. Siedio for tbolt held up well for that did break the case eventually but phone still doesnt have a scratch. But yes, thank you for mentioning comfort, because if it never slips out of your hand... you never drop it. Looking for something grippy if possible, but that is second on my list to overall protection of course.

Casemate tough case just came out today, just like the Aegis they changed the design so I will have to see, but they have previously (for me) been superior to other rugged style cases

They are both grippy. The Defender is just a bit too big to hold comfortably. I guess that's the joy of better protection. Ironically, the Defender is possibly more likely to be dropped, not because it slips from your hand, but because it's likely to snag when you try to take it out of your pocket.
I'm going to stick to the Defender for now, although I will remove the screen protector. I use Liquid Armour on the screen and this pretty much negates the need for a plastic cover on the screen.

Whag was your reasoning for choosing the defender over the commuter? I hear it doesnt snag on pockets and has a regular screen protector. I ask because this case is my backup for the time being

I had a commuter on my iphone, and it was dreadful. It didn't fit well, and really didn't feel like it would provide any degree of protection at all. And protection was rather important with all that glass! Binned it after a few days and ended up with a Taktik case (kickstarter thing). But I digress.
Apart from my iphone experience, I would say the Seidio case is better than the Commuter. It will give as much protection, and look and fit better.
