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

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

I haven't gotten it yet, but I've been a Diztronic fan for a few years (and a few phones) now. TPU just gives it a little extra distance between the face-down screen and the tile when I accidentally drop it.

Could you post a picture? When I buy the developer edition I plan on buying the dualpro matte/grippy case.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4

I have the diztronic, the tudia melody (POS) and the griffin reveal. I only use a case while working. The griffin is easily my favorite, but the diztronic is very nice for a TPU case. Stay away from the tudia.

Any of those cases attract lint from pockets?
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Neither the diztronic or the reveal collect lint. Wouldn't know about the tudia because it was only on my phone for 3 seconds before I vowed to never use it gain.

Well, whatever the case I'm getting something. Thank God motorola screwed up and sent me two phones and I was honest and sent one back, because I dropped mine and cracked the screen.! out of courtesy motorola is replacing mine free of charge so the new one will be in a case regardless.

Yep, just got my shipping notice too!

I ended up with Cimo Motorola Moto X Back Case Flexible TPU Cover since I went with a black back. I picked it up on Amazon. I went with black, but it also comes in blue, red, clear, pink, purple, and white. The only complaint I have about it is there is no holes for the power and volume so it hides the customized buttons. Instead the buttons are part of the case. My solution was to just cut the holes. If done right you can't even tell.

I got the snap case from Motorola because I saw the review videos and it looked nice. I got it in the smoked clear color. 3 problems. 1st is price. $30 is a lot for what you are getting here. Not a whole lot of protection but enough for peace of mind. 2nd is that whatever coating they put on this thing is slippery as hell and it hasn't been mentioned in any of the reviews I've seen so far. It actually makes it uncomfortable to use one handed because you have to grip it so tightly. 3rd is that when I normally hold a phone one handed I put my pinkie under the bottom to stabilize the phone. On this case there are sharp edges where it opens up around the charging port right where I would normally put my pinkie. For something this much I would've expected little things like this to have been taken into account. It does fit the phone really well and doesn't add a whole lot of bulk which is what I was looking for.

I actually use the pro shell case from Motorola, it's been pretty good so far. Feels good in hand and the rubberized edge covers the entire edge of the phone. The phone fits nicely in the case and it doesn't add any bulk to it. I'd suggest it over the snap case that they are offering on their site.

i bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMOV802/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and i love it. it has a kickstand which is the main reason for buying it. it offers easy of use. you can take it off and on easily and the rubber case isnt the sticky rubber that seems to pull your pocket out everytime you take your phone out.

It's ugly, feels bulky compared to the Diztronic TPU case, and just has a very cheap feel to it. I only ordered it because it looks like the Incipio Frequency case that I had for my iPhone (it's a blatant ripoff) but it is nowhere near the quality. If you are looking for a decent TPU case, the Diztronic is the way to go.

That's what I'm here for. Anyone who knows me here knows I have a problem with cases. I already have 5 for the Moto X, and I have a few more on order. The funny thing is, I really don't like using a case with this phone so I have no idea what drives me to keep buying them haha. I had 30+ for my iPhone, about the same for my One X, maybe 25 for my HTC One.... yeah. haha
If you want to get a really good case, help me pester Urban Armor Gear into making one for us. Best case on the market, hands down. Post on their FB wall about making a case for the Moto X. https://www.facebook.com/UrbanArmorGear

Has anyone who has gotten a case noticed a change/muffling in the rattling sound that seems to occur when the phone vibrates? I'd be interested in knowing if having a case on it somehow minimizes the sound in anyway.

Diztronic TPU case

Anyone try this case yet? I've used them on my last 2-3 devices and I like how simple and thin they are but they do the job when I drop my phone

Your guess is right on as I searched for TPU being my preferred type of case.

Does this brand fit with the G2's international version?

I have one of these on my Verizon LG G2. The case adds just enough texture to take the slipperyness of the G2 away without being big bulky and obtrusive. You also cannot beat the price.

Same here, hoping to like it better than the Spigen Slim Armor. Less protection I assume but we'll see. May also try out the Ballistic

Just got one today also.... Replaced my Spigen slim armor. The case fits well but it's slightly loose on the bottom part. I've written to Diztronic to see if I got one that was defective. Keeping it on our mow... The Slim Armor was too bulky and heavy for me

I am on my second phone (diff phones) and have stuck with these cases (2nd case). Just had the scariest drop over the weekend was drunk and bored flipping my phone in the air, bounced off my motorcycles gas tank and onto the concrete in the garage...
pulled off the case, not a dent/scratch on her..
mine also has a slight bend at the bottom.. but no biggy.

This is currently the case I'm using now. I started with Diztronic tpu cases on my galaxy nexus and it always did well. Was never afraid to drop my phone. Decided to go with it again on my g2 . You can't go wrong with this slim case, especially for the price.

Droid Turbo cases

Starting the thread as we find Droid turbo cases. Case-mate already has their site up.
http://www.case-mate.com/Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Cases/Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Cases.asp

Lol can't see the capacitive keys in the front-facting picture of the case. Wish it really looked like that

With the bulk of this phone and the kevlar back I'm hoping someone simply makes a bumper. Give the screen a slight raise from a fall as well as the camera.
Cheers to hoping!

I already found quite a few more yesterday. My thread is in the General section.

Seidio if you see this, make a CONVERT case! Please! Incipio Feather too.
The casemate cases have coating that peels.

Yeah, I too am wondering how they are going to handle that. I fondled both the "MFG" and the ballistic nylon-backed phones briefly today and they didn't feel any different. I can't imagine four different Moto flipcase SKU's between the two phone sizes and the two case materials, but I might not be trying hard enough.
-e- I looked at some of the press photos and I now see the the cloth-backed phone's camera lens is definitely set further back in. Less than 1mm difference between the two, according to Moto's spec sheet. it doesn't seem like enough to justify how deep the camera appears in some of the photos.

I hate Vzw and Otterbox for bringing out the droid turbo case for day 1 (for a phone on a single carrier) and refusing to bring one out for the Nexus 6 (on all carriers). Sadly, this does make me more likely to get a droid turbo even though I think it's kinda ugly.

That's the advantage of real carrier support. Verizon is probably Otterbox's biggest customer so they have the leverage to get Otterbox to make a case for their beloved Droid series. Obviously, they're more interested in getting accessories for an exclusive before another device.

I've used several otterboxes in the past on various devices and I'm just bored of their styling now. A case is a case, but be a bit more innovative with the design in my opinion. I'm currently still digging the Spigen Neo Hybrid in blue I've got for my Note 3, might lean towards spigen again if they come out with something for the turbo. The lifeproof is okay, but the screen smears would bug me too much and I much prefer a glass screen protector so that's also out of the question then. Decisions....

I was actually surprised how many cases they had available. I went ahead and ordered a incipio dual pro case with the phone. It is nice having choices at launch.

Did anyone grab the Incipio DualPro case from Verizon? If so does it fit the Ballistic Nylon version and how is it?
Thanks

I'm using the case from verizon with the kickstand and belt clip. Never use the belt clip but its a thin case and the kickstand is really handy. Had the same styled case for my MaxxHD and loved it

I bought the incipio dual pro with my Ballistic Nylon. Fits great, not to tight and not to loose. I have used multiple dual pros before but usally return because they atract lint like no other. It seems like they changed the composition of the soft rubber and it no longer atracts lint. Over all Iike it and its a good heavy duty case.

Case with Kickstand?

As that title states, are there any good ones out there currently? I enjoy this type of stand so I can easily tilt the phone on a flat surface to watch videos and whatnot.

I bought some Seidio stuff back when I bought my first EVO and otterbox had not yet developed an otterbox case for it. I've found all of their stuff to be A1 quality.

I got the Spigen Slim Armor but haven't tried it on since I don't yet have my phone. The kickstand is a little flimsy but should be a little more stable once the phone is actually in the case. It's reasonably priced as well.

How much thickness does this add to the phone? I'm searching for a thin case with a kickstand. I just ordered one off Amazon but it has the magnet in the case so I'm probably going to return it because of the magnet causing issues with the phone.

I prefer cases with a kickstand that can be used vertically and horizontally. It makes it easy to watch video as well as making the phone easier to handle with one hand.
