has anyone found a decent belt holder for the streak

just about to buy the streak and want to know if anyone has found a decent holder which can fasten to a belt ... dont wanna but the streak in a pocket due to issues which users have had with the screen cracking and want something which i can walk around with and have the phone on my belt like normal ...
any ideas ????

I went to target and bought a nintendo DS zippered case. I ripped out the plastic DS holder from the inside and glued the zipper closed about an inch down the long side so it only opens across the top.
I hook the caribeener to a belt clip. it is about the perfect size. It slips in easily and has a fair amount of padding for bump-proofing it.. Can't beat it for $10.00.

Below are some pics showing where I glued the zipper closed to make it into a slip pouch and how it fits using the poly case from Dell

@ Radimus
so you have the case just flapping about on your waist?
easecases on ebay are your best bet on a quality case at this point

It doesn't flap badly. When I get the chance, I'm going to sew a loop for another caribeener on the other side so it rides more even. I also get nervous for it while riding my harley around and a second hook is cheap and easy security.

Got this one from ebay, its fraying a bit around the edges and worryingly the screen rests against the magnets or if you flip the streak over the screen is against the metal belt hook, although i've used it daily for around 6 weeks with no damage done.

I'll second that Easecase suggestion... Don't let that 'made-to-order from china' tag drive you away, mine is pretty high quality stuff. Word of warning though: if you are ordering a vertical slip case, I would suggest requesting a slightly looser fit. Even though it fits perfectly, the large flat surface area of the Streak adds to the resistance involved in inserting/removing the phone (though I suspect the problems with mine will fade as I break the case in).

I will vote for the ease case from ebay also. They may be made in china but the fit and quality are great. They are easy to work with also.

+1 with gilrad, the only downside was that it takes about a month for it to arrive which wasn't so great for me cos I also requested for the case to be slightly bigger but they didn't actually make one slightly bigger so I have to wait another month for them to send me it...though they were kind enough to let me keep the one they sent. At first, I couldn't even fit my phone in (especially with an invisible shield on, but I've managed to stretch it slightly but it's still tough to slight in and out.

This is the one i made

I got the £3,99 flipcase from RebelSIMCard.
It has a belt clip with a lock so the case cannot slip from the belt.
Quality is not super but for the price you can't go wrong!

Just ordered my easecase... I requested that they make it slightly larger - we'll see if that works out.
BTW, you guys are going to put me in the poor house! LOL! $40 here... $20 there... I keep spending money on this darn thing! LOL!

Now I won't have to resort to an a##-r### $40 skin from Zagg!
I've been using BestSkinsEver skins for over a year. With full body phone skins (of superb quality) for $8, they are unbeatable!
Check out my Nexus One skin pictures: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5502896&postcount=94
Woohoo!!!

BSE is still good for body protection... but for screen protection they have a more significant orange peel effect than the other skins (Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, Invisibleshield). It's much more noticeable on the screen. I haven't tried BSE in a year or so and that was on the Palm Pre. I'm not sure anything has changed.
Edit: I'm guessing they will likely be $18.99 like the skins for the Ipad, Kindle, etc.

Thanks. Ill check them out

*browses over to the link*...

mine is amazing from ebay atari, pics later

I had Best Skins Ever on my 3GS. They were just ok, the fit was pretty good but it gave the phone a slight orange peel. I ended up taking the screen cover off and just leaving the back on. Also for some reason it got a spot on it kind of like a reverse blister about a 1/2 inch in diameter. You know, when the fluid leaves the blister and the skin sinks into the void. It was still bonded well that region. I think rubbing against my keys or change in my pocket caused it. Maybe some of the plasticizers leached out or migrated? It did serve it's purpose and my after a year still looked like new.

Woohoo! It's available now! Finally!
$10.99 w/ $1 shipping
I'll post pics/thoughts after delivery/install

Wow. I can't wait for the pics!

this is good stuff. i ordered two. one for myself and one fo the wife.
some tips for install:
get the screen protector and the large back piece wet. DONT wet the bezel piece or the small piece that covers your sdcard flap. they will slide around and not stay put after the install.
for the screen, wet it, apply it straight, and squegee the water out with a credit card or preferably a rubber squeegee. same for the home button bezel and the back.
the sdcard flap is easy as pie, just stick it on and rub it out with your finger...
the bezel piece is the most difficult. peel the bottom edge up and line it up. just apply it in an upwards motion, leaving the top part still on the wax paper so it doesnt tangle and get all goofy, and squeegee the air out upwards as you go. dont fret about a bubble or two or some haziness leftover. that will go away in a day or two.
leave your nook alone for about an hour for the adhesive to cure as the excess moisture under the protector will cause it to slide around when messed with.
overall, these are a great value for anyone that does not want a case on their nook, but still wants to protect it. it does make the surfaces quite shiny, and the screen still seems to attract the same amount of fingerprints.... also, as with the ZAGG invisishield, there is some orange peel effect, but it isnt near as pronounced as on the ZAGG. the screen is quite smooth, and the back has a nice feel. would be nice to have a matte option, but for the price, it cant be beat.
i have about 4 days use on it, in and out of my cargo pocket, the drawer at work, the map pocket in my car door... and no issues, no peeling or anything. i am pleasantly surprised. DEFINITELY worth getting one of these though.

Nook Color duct tape case

so this whole thing started when I got a few scratches on the back of my nook color after a few days. I didn’t have the money to buy a nice case yet, so I did what I usually do... Make one out of duct tape so I just used normal tape and made a big piece of fabric, cut it to the right size and put the little corner holder things on. Unfortunately, I didn’t think about the corner holder things blocking the volume and power buttons :/ but its not so bad. I later colored it up with other colors of duct tape and cut up the back of spiral notebooks and made a smart cover rip off
Well, thats it. I hope you guys like it. Comments/Criticism is very welcome

MacGyver would be very proud!
Honestly, that's a pretty awesome way to use duct tape!
that case looks great and according to the pictures, it seems pretty sturdy!
I see you tried to keep the ipad case style, and it seems it's strong enough
to be used as a stand.
Great job man!

Thanks it is pretty sturdy, but don't think it would last for more than 3 or so months before it starts to come apart... but then I could just make a new and improved one

This is Epic Win.

I'm thinking about improvising a case myself, though I may have a mod-able case on hand, so I can probably avoid going the duct tape route
Still, solidly constructed given the materials at hand.

u have any instructions on how to make that? its really cool

I have been looking for a case just like this, except without the duct tape since I got my nook 5 months ago. I want the fold open case that folds underneath to make a stand for easier typing. Has anyone seen one?

Just search "Nook Color Case" on Amazon and there are at least 3 of them. I want to grab one pretty soon, too. I swear the rooCase portfolio was 23.99 the other day
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...words=nook+color+case&sprefix=nook+color+case

Excellent. I missed this Roo case. I had only seen the vertical one.
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Easy-...TF8&coliid=I3DRJSW0WIXJU6&colid=1RFCYIM3A0T3N
I have also heard good things about this case from another thread, but it doesn't look as nice, but is half the price.
http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...TF8&coliid=I3RDRQ6QU0UQTP&colid=1RFCYIM3A0T3N

The second one looks pretty decent for the money.
I went with this guy, the brown one: http://www.javoedge.com/reflexeshop/productCatalog/getProduct.do?poid=3171&pbmId=18384
I saw their Cocoa Cherry Blossom one on Amazon and liked where it was coming from in terms of the style, but it's obviously kind of girly. They had a ton more styles on their own site, and they all have that casual-but-not-sporty look that I haven't really seen anywhere else. I went with flip because it seemed more flexible in terms of propping it either portrait or landscape, and it seemed more secure for travel with the NC enclosure being open at the top.

it was 24.99! I was goanna buy it :/

i love it, totally gettoicious

Before seeing this post, yesterday, I was going to cut up an old HP (Now called Agilent Technologies) instrumentation catalog I had just tossed for recycling. Basically a large textbook, and use its hardbound covers. Duct tape was in the front of my thoughts.
Then I spotted some cd cases on my shelf from the dollar store... I unsewed the cd slips, and made a nice soft neoprene padded cover.
I put two small fuzz velcro strips on the back of the nc, the case already had a hook velcro in a good spot,
and the case just fits to cover the front, over the top, and down the back, just a bit short, but leaves the speaker open to the air, and a bit off a table, where it reflects its pee-poor volume.
Now I have a padded cover with neoprene or nylon coating for a buck.

Verizon Xperia Case is Recommended

Hi Everyone...just received my case from Verizon...it's this one:
(d'oh...I'm a new user and it won't let me post links...it's the black one on the Verizon Wireless site that has the hole for the xperia logo and company name. Also it has the circles emanating from the logo)
Just wanted to say that I highly recommend it. It snaps on securely and actually makes the device look a bit cooler, with the back of the case accentuating the details of the phone (the SE logo, the controls, the camera). It feels like hard rubber and doesn't stick in my pocket (some of the early phone cases were hard to pull out of my pocket because they seemed to have static-cling with the innards of my pocket). It adds a bit of depth to the phone which actually makes it feel better when playing games.
The power button is a bit harder to press with the case on but I've adjusted to using my fingernail rather than my finger itself. Everything else works just as well.
I know some people are wondering which case to buy. This one is expensive, but I think it's worth it.

I also just got this case today and I would also recommend it. It was $25, but well worth it imo. Very good quality and looks the best of all the cases. It fits perfect and doesn't make the phone too bulky at all.
I was trying to decide between this case and the other one that Verizon offers but decided to go with this because like you said, the material won't collect lint and get caught up inside your pocket. Plus I liked how it had the cutout for the SE logo and Xperia.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...ryDetails&archetypeId=12635&accessoryId=47578

My local verizon store offers the same case with a semi clear orange plastic that looks great. I have to agree that this case feels superior to others I've tried.

Damn in in the UK. ..

lol! I must be the only person in the forums who HATES that type of "case". Its two pieces of a plastic shell that have sharp edges. I have that stupid case, it collects inordinate amounts of lint, I have to take it off frequently to clean my phone. Sadly, it also does nothing to protect the device. I guess to each his own, but I don't recommend it. It really takes away from the phones natural style. I may put it back on to reevaluate since I only used it for a day before peeling that crap off; but I'm looking at a picture as I write this and the same feelings of disgust are bubbling back up from the pit of my stomach... One can only hope someone will eventually develop a case for sliders that isn't 2 overpriced thin strips of plastic. Final thought, reminds me of the original XBox controller, and not the S type.

If you take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015211 You'll see many reports of people who are quite happy with their case, even though they're very very cheap.

The verizon link is for customers only from here - could you please post some pictures or links to them. Thank you

Looks nice but won't be able to use the charging cradle with it on

I had a similar case for my epic. Scratched the crap out of the phone due to grime build up under the sides of the case. Basically trapped it there and ground it into the plastic. I'm never buying a case like this again.

I think that the case looks quite stunning. Perhaps I should have bought the Play just for the case. LOL!

here's one in the UK
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-SHE..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2a11cee370
There's this one as well, its a gel case, I'd prefer this as the gel ones seem a bit more durable than the hard ones in my experience
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gel-Case-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3cb96665ce
I would get one but I just got the extended battery and have a zagg shield over the other bits (which I would recommend but does affect the touch surface)

@wired84,
Uh mate, I think you got it wrong. They were asking about the Verizon case. What makes it so cool is the ripple effect and the Xperia being visible. Not just any hard case (or gel case).

Circle Case
Yes I am sure the case that is more expensive is better. I went cheap and got a crappy case that didn't last. The things that hold the case to the phone snapped off and now I'm left with 2 rubber flaps that fall off.

I also think gel cases are the best cases, however i would like a case which doesnt make the play a bigger brick than it already is..

+1 recommending Verizon case. Bought it with the money I saved buying the Play on sale, great case. Certainly better than the one they sold me for my old Droid.

[Review]Multi-Angle Leather Folio Case from Anker

Here is the album of more photos of the case....
https://plus.google.com/photos/1042...ms/5777724988825050929?authkey=CIzz9oGX49azaA
What we have here today is what I got today in the mail. A multi angle leather folio by Anker. See amazon link above for their details. It is $9usd PLUS shipping, depending on where you are. If you are on prime, then more power to ya. LOL
Anyway into the case...
I have to preface, I do not normally buy cases like this for a 7 inch tablet. I was given this to review and just giving it my fair shake....
This case is a good case for $9usd. At this price point you cannot really expect quality like Marware, so please keep that in mind. However, IMO, the fair price for this type of case, I would put it in the $20 range.
Leather...is this leather? Seems like it, but it is very thinly bound to the card stock cover. The stitching is ok, because of the quality of leather, I didn't expect a lot. As for added bulk...it does add as much bulk as my Treegloo case though. But the only thing this case has going for it is the multi-angle viewing ability.
This is done by a snap button found on kids winter coats. Meaning it's a bit bulky, but it does the rotating without a large rotating mechanism. The only negative about this is that the button kind of protrudes out to the backing, in which you can see here.
Now getting this to landscape mode is self explanatory, but using this to read portrait needed a little fiddling. In using the case in portrait, you have to swivel the case and then only the middle and outer groove can be used. If you use the back end groove, the tablet is guaranteed to fall on itself. You can kinda use the outer edge groove, however. And you can use this in portrait AND charge at the same time. Win!
And another thing about this case that I liked is that the case can come apart. Being the rotating mechanism is a button, you can undo it and carry it like a normal case without a front cover, which is nice IMO. A good alternative if you ask me.
Bottom line, would I recommend this case? Well if you are looking for a simple case for under 20 bux, yes. The advantage of multi angle viewing and taking the case apart, makes this worth getting for a backup case.
I guess having a Treegloo as my first case may have spoiled me LOL.
Any questions? Lay 'em on me.

wow, fantastic review.
i just recieved it today, great.
A good alternative I also think.

Just received mine today via USPS.
Likes
Compact
Not a whole bunch more added bulk
Inexpensive
Customer service was a pleasure to work with
Closes with a elastic strap. very journal-esque.
Multiple viewing angles not only in Landscape, but Portrait as well. Very few cases offer this.
Dislikes
Snap/Button built into the rear of the cover treats you to a very un-even form factor.
Didn't like the extra hump made visible by the button
Not very supple. Feels very hard, and edgy.
Sleep/Wake feature did not work consistently. It only worked maybe 2 out of 7 tries.
Decent pick overall, for the money, it provides a great set of viewing angle options.

Won't recommend. Its pretty inferior quality. I ripped mine open just to see what was on the inside. Its literally cheap leather wrapped around a cardboard that's as thin as a cereal box. Very flimsy. And the magnet isn't even located in the correct spot (for sleep/wake)
