I need to make a decision on which one to get. I really want to figure a way out on putting a belt clip on one of these, but not sure how to or what clip would work. It seems the Noreve was offered with a belt clip which was later no longer issued as it was breaking due to the weight of the case and streak in it. If anyone has one of these and worked out a way, please let me know. Thanks:
Noreve
Tuff-Luv
I have a Tuff Luv case, reviewed on here a while back, great piece of kit and very well made but no belt clip. To be honest I wouldn't trust my streak to a belt clip no matter who made it.

Hi,
from what I have read on the forum and the net..
I can say, carrying it on a Belt (clipped) may not be the best idea.
It either goes well in your deep(er) pant pocket, or in your backpack!
from the choice, the Noreve seems much more classy than the later one.
My 2 cents!
care,
Sony
I agree. The device is to big to be trusting it to some cheap plastic belt clip. even tho I ordered the defender by otter box I know for a fact ill never use the belt clip.
The noreve looks better..plus there is a stand on the back , bit more functional
Thanks all for the input. I am surprised that many have stated that a belt clip is not desired. I must say, I have been carrying it around with the cloth pouch that came with it for the last few weeks and I really don't think I would trust not having it on my belt. This may be because I have always had a leather flip type case for all my previous phones for close to 15+ years.
The other thing is that I don't think I would trust to keep it in jeans pocket and other than work, I don't carry any sort of bag with me, so I need something that does not consume one hand.
But this is interesting feedback. I was hoping to get something more like this and not some adhesive thing. Although, they seem to only be selling a minimum quantity of 1500.
Also, Noreve seems to have this clip which I don't know if it was the one they offered before, but it looks like it is a new design. I will need to contact them to see if their streak case has the place to screw in the part that slides into the clip. But, the one with the rivets and backing plate does look a whole lot more secure.
I ordered one of these with belt clip number 01 (scroll down to look at options). They will custom make them to your dimensions if you want to put it in the case with a cover on it. I have not received mine yet, but reviews elsewhere were very good. They offer other configurations. Right now they have no listings because of the Chinese New year.
Well, it looks like the Noreve case + clip + shipping will cost USD $103. Probably twice as much as I was looking at paying.
I guess I'll be back to looking at the Otter Defender or the Tuff-Luv if I can modify it. So strange that most nice accessories for this phone is only available across the pond.

Yes, I had first look into this. The issue I have with this other than waiting for their New Year to complete is that I am afraid of dropping the streak after taking it out of the case. With the two I was looking at and also the defender, at least they are made to stay in a case and benefit from some protection.
I don't know anymore, it is becoming frustrating. With all these price points and pros and cons, it is hard to just try them all by ordering and no place to go an try them without purchasing.

I ordered the easecase large enough so that I can leave the Otterbox Impact case on the phone and carry it in the leather case. My thinking was that I have a carry case and I still have protection when I remove it.
The best way to carry/manage using the Streak as an every day device is still evolving for me. I have spent at least 1/2 the cost of the phone on accessories.

hmmm.....this is very interesting.....I know when I had my iPhone, I got this and then put it into a leather belt case, so this may actually be like the same thing. I would probably go for the commuter case however as I read the silicon is a bit different from the Impact and Defender in that it is less susceptible to lint etc.
Thanks for the idea. The cost will run it up there again to approx $70-80 and I'll have to wait about 2-3 weeks for the easecase part
2devnull,
I don't believe that there are any good inexpensive ways to carry the Streak around and protect it. I have seen reports of some people using a Nintendo DS carrying case. I looked at that and just didn't want to go that way.
What about this one?
Just found this one on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Zing-571-221-MPEBK1-Medium-Electronic/dp/B000E6S3TK/ref=sr_1_56?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296433970&sr=1-56
Well, I think I'm going the Otterbox Commuter + Easecase route unless something changes by the time Easecase returns.
I too am looking for a belt leather case for my Streak as I don't like caring the device in my pocket too much. I did contact
I contacted Noreve regarding their CLIP and Case combo but here is what I got!
Is the Dell Streak case compatible with the belt clip?
Do you have a case for Dell Streak that can be clipped to a belt?
Dear Rafal,
No I am sorry.
Too heavy.
My best regards,

The Monaco Leather case has a clip. It will only hold a naked phone, even a TPU case won't let it close. More Pics

A lot of money for something that does not close and you risk taking out an unprotected Streak and dropping it. A little modification and internal size would be ideal so that you can put a protected Streak (with Impact or Commuter or even jelly) inside it.

The Monaco case is only useful if you use your phone with no cover/case. I had one for one day. I got it in a batch if stuff I bought and sold it the next day. It does look well made and suits someone who carries the Streak naked. It would be great for someone who carries the Streak in a purse or backpack a lot.
I have the Otterbox Defender on my phone and bought a case from eBay seller easecase. They will customize the cases to your dimensions. I will get some pics up of my easecase soon.
I offered the Monaco as a suggestion because everyone uses their phone differently and if you like going light and sleek it would be a good fit.
I stated before that I have not found any good cheap options. I got my Defender for no cost, but had to buy a group of accessories and then sell what I did not want to do that. I have more time than money so that method worked for me.
Agreed, if a purse or bag or someone who is comfortable with a naked Streak, it would be ideal - however I think I read that it does not close correctly.

The one that I had was a perfect fit for the phone with no case. The openings were aligned properly for the headphone and charging ports. If I were carrying my Streak with no other case/cover on it I would have kept it.
The Monaco case is such a good fit that even a TPU case makes the phone too big.

I have no G4 at the moment.. Just want to buy one. The availability of a waterproof case makes the difference. Lifeproof planned to build one for s6.. But right now g4 is my favorite buy.
I suppose at this point you need to look for a universal case such as this one http://www.amazon.com/JOTO-Universa...Motorola/dp/B00LBK7OSY/ref=zg_bs_9375358011_1
Up to 30 meters and fits phones up to 6 inch diagonal - if it fits the iPhone 6+, it'll fit the G4
There's tons of them on Amazon but that one looks like it's the bestseller with a very good rating.
I would like a lifeproof-like one

If you don't want to spend $100, Tanga sells universal velcro pouches. I capsized a canoe last weekend and it saved my phone. They are cheap but they work and for that price, you don't care if you lose them. At 2 for $9, you really can't go wrong.

Hi!
Anybody seen something similar to this?
http://www.dx.com/p/protective-sili..._medium=club&utm_campaign=club_skureview_page
for LG G4? Waterproof case would be awesome. I hate those bags so I don't even look at them
this might be an option
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOVE-MEI-Sh...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4197e40eb4
I have the Joto pouch linked in this thread for my G4. The transparent window fits the G4 size perfectly. It is thick enough that you could put in a few credit cards and cash or key. Now the bad part is that the touch screen works well as long as the bag is dry. As soon as you go underwater or if the bag is really wet, the touch screen is mostly unresponsive. You might get lucky and get a few touches in but definitely no swiping action. I could use the camera by double tap the down volume button and take pics using the down volume button, but that's about it. If you are looking to check your email under water, forget about it. Oh and because you cannot tap to focus, the underwater pictures do not come out that great. Here is a pic of my pool vacuum in action.
This universal waterproof case http://www.witrigs.com/universal-waterproof-case-for-smart-phone-acid-blue is what i am using. And it's cheap now.

This case is NOT waterproof. I bought it from Amazon, which stated it was waterproof and I knew it wasn't to begin with because I had the same case for my LG G2. It is, however, one of the most durable cases I have ever owned.

Does the case can floating on the water?my girl friend buy a case for iphone 6 and her waterproof case cannot floating on the water...
Hard to find a waterproof case for G4,otterbox and arozell Tank could be a solution, yet from my experience both are not water-resistant instead waterproof,the difference is waterproof support diving into water and water resistance is for unexpected water such as rainwater and water splashing, so firstly you have to get to make it clear that what exactly your request.
Besides,lovemei powerful could be another solution for water-resistant,yet the love mei case would be a little bit akward with its triple protective design, some one may think there comes a bulky, yet its performance on protection is outstanding if you don't care the additional bulky as well as tiny mobile signal missing.

The creases are barely visible. they could probably be massaged out eventually. I'll get a pic today (hopefully)
The way I see it; It's somewhat attractive in itself, it protects the phone from scuffs, scratches, and possibly a cracked screen, etc. far less worrisome outcome than a crease on a $30 replaceable leather back-plate.
...and this is really only a problem if you decide you want to remove the case indefinitely and are annoyed by those creases staring back at you... just drop $30 bucks, problem solved. (Your leather back will wear regardless if it goes uncovered.)
But, I totally get you... whats the point of buying a protective case if it damages the phone? seems backwards, I get it.
I've NEVER seen a phone case that makes a phone look better than one without, or doesn't add weight or bulk...
You gotta compromise somehow.
You could also get an original plastic back, alleviating the whole crease thing for $12-15.
---if you're handy with a Dremel or a small file, try tapering the square edge that touches the leather back, and putting a felt strip there. It wont be visible when the case is on.
...reminds me of my mom, who always puts a cheap plastic film over her iPhone screen to prevent scratches... but in a week the film is full of scratches that the glass would have resisted. The whole point of keeping the screen optically clear is now null and void by that nasty screen cover. If the principle here is to maintaining a good visual appearance, go naked, be careful and run a risk. If you're just trying to protect an investment, cover it up.
For the record, My Z3, S5, Nexus 6, G4 and Note 3, have always gone uncovered. I've dropped the Nexus once, but still haven't learned a lesson from it.
been using that aluminum bumper on my plastic back g4, and it has scratches on the back where the aluminum meets the plastic. I would never put it on a leather back, there's plenty of reviews saying how it damaged the leather backs. It even warns against it in the description. I wouldn't put it on at all without a screen protector on for fear it would damage the front.
It does give the phone a great feel and good protection though.

I wouldn't buy the LG Leather case. If you look on XDA, many people are complaining about the leather wearing off, simply because they had put the phone in their jean jacket. The LG is $80 and it looks like it is sprayed on.
I purchased the Pierre Cardin from Ebay and it is quite a bit better than the LG...plus only $18 with free shipping.

I dont want any silicon ones because those feel cheap.
I want to have all sides protected and shouldnt let the mobile phone look so fat.

but didnt protect the top & bottom.
so i bought this one:

Hello guys im looking for a good phone and the mi5 packs great specs and i can buy it new for 310 euro so its a very good price but after seeing how it bends im worried about breaking it.How is your experice or tought on this?
Dont worry. I use this phone for over 3months. I keep it in my pocket all the time and its fine. Go for it.

Yeah, definetly buy a case, or at least a plastic battery cover, because it is the most SLIPPERY phone I've ever had. It has a great grip in my hands, but place it on a slightly uneven surface, and watch your phone slowly crawl to its death. I recommend the Luphie bumper case (the only bumper case that is aluminium), and there are some neat battery covers (especially the one with a wooden pattern like on the oneplus 2), as the glass back is REMOVABLE.
Hope this helps
Oh, and don't worry abot the bending.... Who the hell actually puts their phone in the back pocket?! It's just a trend that the iPhone 6 plus has created, no one cared about bends before.
I have it from 2 months: no bended phone atm
I use some covers too, because I don't want to see scratches or something on the phone.

Hi, can you give me more details on Luphie bumper?
I saw it before buying the Mi 5, but I'm not sure if: protects good the phone; it's slippery; and mostly if it scratches the phone borders.
Thank you.
Hi, right now it's shipping from China, I guess it will arrive around next week or so, as soon as it does, I'm going to post a review here. From experience with other phones and bumper cases, it will most likely scratch it, but I'd always put some thin carefully cut cloth or foil in between, and it always did the job. What probably will annoy me is that it's pretty thick, maybe I'll try sanding it down a little.
Im using mine for 4months, eventhough Ive got a hardcase, I prefer to use my TPU case for better grip. I also always have it in my pocket.
The phone is durable enough for practical and everyday use. Honestly, except for the youtube bend test of MI5, I havent seen or read any reports online (miui forums, FB mi5 group, or even here in XDA) of an end user whining or complaining about their Mi5 's getting bent.
So practically, with some common sense, Mi5 should endure any realistic and pracrical day to day scenario.
Ok nice so ill definetly buy the phone and a case you get amazing bang for buck with the Mi5. Thanks
