I think I found, for me, the ultimate belt clip case. I've been using various ones, but the clip always ends up coming loose.
I wear on the left side (I'm left handed) and getting in and out of the car, it will usually snag on the seat belt, the seat or something.
As you know, the Mate8 is NOT a small phone, so the case for a belt clip is not going to be small.
I stumbled across this one, on Amazon. By accident, I ordered the wrong one, but the seller, who lives in the middle of where
the hurricane went, did his best to allow me to return and he shipped me the correct one.

I really like the METAL construction, and the fact the clip on the case, is riveted to the case, with an additional metal spacer inside the case.
The phone fits snugly, and with the Mate8 clear case that came with the phone, will easily go in and out of the case.
It was a little more expensive, but after wearing out/destroying several cases trying to find one that will last, I think this one will fill the need.
Looks good. If this comfortable to you, all's good. I hold my only in the pocket. With "Spigen" case and Tempered Glass, of course.

please let me know about this product if anybody has got one. I ordered one, will be receiving tomoro.
i have this.
I like it when i use it but thats only on trips usually.
The design is a little bulky on the sides but on the positive side its very padded so as not to scratch the device.
I like the little flap/clip things on the bottom. it provides a lil extra support because when my phone is still in its stock case it fits a little wierd but has never falllen out of the holder. The flaps are also far enough apart they don't get in the way of the charging or 3.5 jack.
The base fits snug in my cup holder which is a plus...
You will need to slide the right side of the case down as it wil continue to hit your volume keys but overall, though the design is not the prettiest, its functional, i trust it to hold my HD2 and was pretty cheap considering some of the other holders i've ran into.
I bought mine expecting the worst and it's came in handy quite a bit, i don't think you'll be disappointed.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for making the back cover of my i9000 less oily?
I have been using a case for a long time partly because my galaxy back constantly gets oily from my hands, but I really want to go slim and case-free now!
EDIT: might see if i can track down some of this plasti-dip stuff http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881062
i think a replacement back cover is your best bet
unless you go through the hassle of sanding it down, buffing it up, smoothing it out, painting it... Not worth it, get a new cover. loads to choose from

Thanks, looks nice!
I had the same problem with hands sweating holding was quite risky. I bought a silicon rubber cover with rough dotted surface which gives you good grip & no marks on the back plate.
Well, you can always put grip tape on it. That will solve the slippery issue and the fingerprint issue.
But it might make a hole in your pocket
Is it enough to buy a good screenprotector, or is a case needed? Don't want a bulky case to cover the phone

A case that protects the device's corners and front is necessary to prevent shattering. Screen protectors only prevent surface scratches, not impacts, which are the cause of glass fracturing.
You don't necessarily need a super bulky case like the Otterbox Defender. For the occasional drop, something smaller like the Otterbox Commuter, Ballistic SG, or Incipio DualPro would be good choices.
I agree but if you want to avoid this you will need to hold on tighter or get a full case.
The quick window case may not have saved this though because it might have flew open or been open when phone was being shown to his sister by a quick little friend of mine.

I'm only over sharing this pic to maybe make you folks quicker to hold on to your phone. I've noticed adults want to grab my big beautiful (replacement) phone too. I'm faster to crush their desires, though.

Description: This is the same case as the "DGtle Shockproof Case" listed under the sexy cases thread..
I bought the case from this eBay listing.
Photos: http://imgur.com/a/t9pRa.
Mini-Review: The case uses the standard soft-hard combination of layers. The soft layer wraps the phone; the hard layer snaps in over the soft. The hard layer doesn't cover the top or bottom edge, so corner impacts will need to absorbed by the soft layer only.
I find the hard layer to be smooth and neither easy nor hard to grip. The case adds some bulk, but I find this makes the phone easier to hold.
Given that at this time (November 2015) there are not a lot of dual-layer options, I think this case is a great option, especially given its low price (sub $5--again, at this time).
Let me know if you have any questions.
Updated (Nov 16): A week since I posted this. The cased phone has not slipped out of my hands yet and has been easy to use with my jeans front pocket. The soft layer has not stretched or moved from its original position. Still, because only the soft layer will absorb a corner impact, I am keeping an eye out for a dual-layer case where the hard layer protects the corners.
So I changed my band yesterday but it's a bit too chunky to fit on the charger flush. I love the strap and don't want to change it to a slimmer one - I just wondered if anyone had cracked open the charger to see what's inside. Ultimately what I want to be able to do is shave off a 22mm wedge from the top and bottom to allow the strap to fit into it - but I don't know if there's anything critical in there which might interfere with it...
Cracked mine open, y'know, for science.

Looks like I could quite happily do what I need with no issue other than making it look ugly. However, turns out that I can make the watch fit without it...so this internal image is just a bonus for those interested. Disassembly is easy.
Peel off the rubber ring from the bottom.
There are 3 tiny crosshead screws to remove. Then it's a case of inserting a thin screwdriver in between the outside and inside parts and prising it open. There are little notches which you can use to get purchase on it. That's pretty much it.
