Is there ever gonna be a belt holster? - Galaxy Tab Accessories

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

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.

Anyone Tried the HTC Vivid Case-Mate Tough Case DIY?

Hey guys I am looking for a new case because my Otterox Commuter is a little big for my slim jeans lol. I was just wondering if anybody has tried out this Case-Mate DIY Tough Case for the Vivid/Raider? It looks really awesome that I can put my own custom image on it but I was wondering if its sturdy like the otterbox, and if its slimmer.

Have you thought about making your own? I know it sounds outlandish, but with the right tools and a few calls its doable. The hardest part is getting access to a hot vacumm forming machine. :S i know what your thinking WTH?!?! Your best bet would be to find one in a small chocolate shop. They would have one to make custom molds for those hollow chocolates that they make.
Anyways, you can take your tablet directly and form around it for that sleek look your looking for ur jeans , or you can even use the OTTERBOX casing. (the inside of it that holds the phone) and just get a clear accrylic and get a few high def pictures of stuff and thats it. I used to make laptop shells like that before for a kickass look! Just thought It might be an idea for anyone who is actualy looking for a cass and has access to one, because its a joke rying to find a case for any HTC really. I actualy got Laughed at by a rogers rep.
I've just got a case mate tough case for my velocity / vivid and love it, just looks like its meant to be. My Mrs has a otterbox defender on the same phone (she's very prone to dropping ect) and it is quite a bit wider but i do think it also adds allot more protection.
But I guess that's the price to pay for skinny jeans?

does anybody know where can i find an all clear tpu casing? been searching online for one, but to no avail
LOL we need to know your definition of cheap, but as adrenalinemotion said, go with diztronic. It's not expensive, I'd say not very cheap either, but it is close to being cheap. The quality is top notch I promise. I never go with TPU case as their nature of loose edges allowing dusts and the like get inside between the case and the phone, but with diztronic I'm loving it. For color-wise, they only have clear, black and glitter white/clear but I think they will have more coming soon.
I got myself the Mercury jelly case. I think it's fairly decent for its price. Personally it's just something to tide me over until I get a better case (probably the UAG one).

The "sparkly" design (shiny little dots all over the case) makes it look classier than your average plain TPU case. Overall I'm very satisfied with the material , cut-outs and I think the phone fits snugly into it (perfect fit imo). My only gripes are
1. the exposed top right corner (I know its for the antennas for the Korean models but still...)
2. the volume rocker cut-out (I can press it without any problems but it just doesn't feel nice to me.)
3. Edges are raised too little to offer much protection to the screen.

I must agree with Max_Pain…"Until you drop it"
Most drops occur when users remove their phones from tight pockets as you are only able to get a couple of fingers onto the phone with the first grasp. However removing your phone from a pocket has an advantage over a pouch as you can quickly pass it to your other hand. You are not able to do this as you have a pouch in the other hand!
Naked is great…but only in the company of the opposite sex/sex that attracts you.*
*Delete as appropriate
I had my g2 pouched for 2 years and loved it without a case. Only thing different is that this phone will crack after one drop imo. I wouldnt change a 600 piece of hardware like that. I'm not baller enough.
I want a pouch that I can put my phone into with a case on already on it only cause I'm afraid to drop it with just a pouch

Out of curiosity, since a pouch adds maximum bulk (apart from those monster extended batteries), how do you carry your phone around ? In your pocket? A purse? Bag?

In all seriousness I don't have any issues with any of my pants including tailored suits. I can understand women having an issue because well they are plastered on there, but the flip wallets would be a good alternative or as mizz lia said in the purse.
I fully agree. Note 1 and 2 have fit in the pocket of every pair of pants I own. If your a guy and the galaxy note doesnt fit in your pocket, you should stop wearing fag jeans lol

The question isn't whether the note fits in your pocket NAKED, but with a pouch that adds considerable bulk. Most pouches are padded and easily double the thickness of the Note 2. It may fit in your pocket, but it's like walking around with a shoebox in your pants. LOL

hmm depends on the type of pouch but all the pouches i think of would make a normal phone too big to fit in a pocket not just the Note II.

Best "grippy" case???

I've got the Case-Mate Tough Case and even though it has the little bump pattern on it it's way too slippery... it's not rubbery feeling like it looks in the pictures...
And I've spent the better part of a week reading reviews and searching and can't find a good answer... So what's the best case for GRIP? Preferably it should give decent protection, not be too big (I don't want something like the huge Otterbox or Seidio Active) and have a lip on the front to protect the screen.. other than that I just want it to actually be GRIPPY!!! This phone is huge (it's awesome, but huge) and I really need some grippiness on the back so that I can one-hand it... I've looked at the Aegis, Ballistic, UAG and others but there are mixed reviews as to the actual feel of the outside. I want something that I can lay it in my hand at a slight angle and it won't just slide off... The Case-Mate really checks all the boxes except for the fact that it's just so dang slippery!!
So if you've personally got a case/used one that you find exhibits exceptional "grippability" then toss a dog a bone and hook me up..
Thanks everyone..
(and if you're in the market for a Case-Mate Tough case then I'll make ya a deal....although it's prolly not worth the shipping..lol)
Not sure but I use a Body Glove and its pretty grippy around the sides (not so on the flat back tho). I remember hearing of some adhesive kind of like Flygrip but cheaper kind of like tape/sticker which you could apply to all kinds of different things altho they made some specifically for phones and other devices to give you a better grip .
First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

PM me if you really want the Case-Mate, I'll prolly keep it until I find something better though, it's slippery but at least it's protected when it falls..

I don't think anything comes close to a cheap gel rubber case for sheer grippines. There are any number of brands that can be had for 4 bucks shipped and I keep one around for when I want to sit and read manga.
They suck for sliding in and out of a tight pocket though. There is a point of being too grippy.

I went ahead and got a cheapo rubber/silicone case from Ebay.. I figure I can't go wrong trying it when it cost <$6 shipped...
I have this case in black (also a couple of other colors). It has grippy ribbing on the sides and the Android logo on the back is matte ... overall a reasonable balance between grip and something that will go in and out of your pocket.

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

Yes, the case has a raised lip around the screen. The lip will keep the screen off a flat surface like a table; it is a significant lip. There are many pictures of this case in the thread where people are showing photos of their cases. Here is a youtube.com video that is pretty good.

Basically I'm looking for a holster case where the belt loop(s) are on the top of the case, not the middle, so the top of the case sits at or below the belt line. These cases are exactly what I'm looking for but all of them are for <5" phones:
Golla Smart Bag
Universal? Pouch
If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated... been looking since I got this phone with no luck.
Try one of the timbuk2 phone accessory cases. I love mine. $20

There are a few good ones on Amazon, I was only looking a couple hours ago, sadly none ship to Australia

I've done that plenty, the problem is I'm looking for something with the point of attachment to the belt in a different location that most cases... Please allow my terrible mspaint job to illustrate this.
I've about given up on the concept though, I think I'm going to have to jump ship to a Moto X or a Nexus 5 once they're available on the google play store. I love my Note 2 but it's just slightly too big for what I want to do with it

Attachment point seems higher than normal.
I believe it's hard to find because it makes it awkward to clip such a large device from the top. It makes it un-leveled compared to the center mounting point.

This is what I'm using on my duty belt now.

Here's the phone in the holster, on my belt. It's not eh... as gunslinger/drop style as it could be, but it keeps it out of the way well enough. If you're putting this on a standard sized belt (1.5-1.75 inches wide), you can probably turn it sideways.
Another in-holster pic.

The buckle retention clips in and there's a bungee that's attached to that. Very easily manipulated to hold even larger phones. I have no doubt this could hold ANY of the upcoming phones, since this is designed to also hold a Motorola XTS5000 radio.

@apallohadas: that is really badass!!! Looks much better on that belt than the other vertical pouch, but i think this one will be harder to take out? Although it will stay more secure inside when you are on a chase!

Takes a bit more finger manipulation than just slapping a velcro tab for sure. But I broke the stitching on the other pouch going over a short fence. Just had a foot chase the other day with this baby and it was solid
The obvious downside of this one is that it provides ZERO water/sand protection. It's literally just a holster. The inside surface is a hard nylon cloth, but both gorilla glass and/or a tempered glass screen protector has a higher hardness than nylon, so I'm not worried about the screen getting scratched.
If someone is working a construction site, beach, somewhere with lots of sand, this is not a good buy. For LEO's and the general public, just awesome.
