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!

Kobo/Kindle case?

Does anyone know if any ebook reader cases fit with the samsung, other than there's no camera hole? I need a cheep case, I can't afford to pay 70 for a real samsung Tab case.

Wallmart kindle cases fit nicely. I looked today.
Galaxy Tabs.....Worth every penny!!

Nook cases appear to /mostly/ fit, though the bottom holding area needs to be trimmed back to expose the buttons.
The port at the bottom's accessible, the top elastic ties appear to hold it well. Lose the camera port, but meh, doesn't worry me at all about that. But the feel of the leather is great, and there's a bit of room for business cards (or more likely sim card holders/SDcards) and I can clip my bluetooth headset around the top elastic band things (what IS the right word for them?) and it all holds together nicely.
It's got some quote on the front, but maybe I should have got it blank and carefully wrote in using a Gold Ink Pen thing 'Holy Knowledge" in uber gothic script.
So far, so good. Shame I had to hack at it a bit, but I think it was worth it.
I'll pop up a picture later if I can wrestle it back off the GF (curse you Angry Birds)

Yeah, this is the one I got too & it fits perfect. I also like the fact that it has a flap instead of a zipper. I turn the Tab upsidedown & tuck the flap behind, leaving the Tab's speakers exposed so I can hear any calls or notifications I get while Im on the go.
I'll post some pics when I get home.

Thanks for posting this! After seeing your post, I went over to Best Buy and picked up an m-edge kindle case. Fits the Tab perfectly!

Modified K3 by Oberon design
Without a rubber cover on my tab, my Kindle 3 cover from Oberon Design fit tight but secure. However, I also wanted to add the rubber/silicone cover so my using the same marine grade cover elastic band to each corner, I now have a perfect fit and beatific case custom made for my Sam Gal. Tab.

Yes, I bought a Nook case and I love it...I also put an clear hard case over my tab to give a tighter fit...here r some pics...

Great post! I was wondering if those cases would work. Now I know.....lol

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.

TeckNet slim smart cover now just £3.98 at Amazon

I have tried multiple Nexus 7 cases and this is the best one I have come across to date. I bought it last week at £6 and I thought that was a good buy. For £4 it is a steal.
The case does not add much bulk like other cases available. The quality of the case is also pretty good (even if it is pleather).
The cover is kept closed with magnets and it can fold back to make a viewing stand (similar to the iPad case).
Available in Purple and Black for £3.98

why can't I find this in amazon US?
!!!

TeckNet seems to be a UK manufacturer who actually seem to have their own stuff rather than generic Chinese imports.

Is there any way to get this in the U.S?

Without the folio type covering around the bezel, this case would've been perfect.

Bought one of these yesterday and it just arrived.
Fits the device rather well, very secure with the way the velcro folds in at the spine. The magnetic bits do the trick and the device wakes up correctly. All the appropriate buttons exposed.
Main issues I have is that the cover doesn't close 100% flat (comes up a bit at the fold nearer the spine), and the cover doesn't easily fold round to the back. Hoping it'll improve over time. Does feel a tiny bit cheap but I've seen covers 3-4 times as expensive using the exact same material!
For £4 it's a bargain.
Edit: actually, new problem - nature of it covering bezel means it's harder than it should be to bring down the notification area. Still think it's worth £4 though, if you haven't got a case already. Wouldn't pay more than £6-7 for it!

Looks much cleaner with the bezel uncovered.

The folding problem does go away after a few days of use. I agree about the bezel. If the device clipped in it would be perfect.

Received 4 days ago as backup for treegloo (not received yet after a month)... Great case for the price, suggested!
It arrived with 2 scrren protector!
Inviato dal mio Nexus 7

I just bought this one.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ARINTV2/
The Nexus 7 clips into this case without velcro as somebody mentioned earlier.
Also, the magnets are so strong I can hang my Nexus 7 on the side of a metal filing cabinet using this case.

New case arrived today

I ordered this case off ebay as well and it was shipped from California. I believe it was $10 with free shipping.

The case comes with these extended bumper corners which make holding the phone easier and provides extra protection from the Left Corner Drop of Doom. The weakest point of the case is the kickstand. The kickstand is flimsy and does not have a positive lock in place or a strong hinge when opened. the volume keys as well as the power key are covered. The charging port as well as the earphone jack are left exposed. The black rubber is harder than the standard TPU but not as hard as the white plastic that it is attached to.
All in all its a nice case

Nice case..found it too, with so many color variations..but they wont ship here..huhu..thanx for the review..

not a big fan at all, looks horrible!

Makes it look like the size of the Ziggy device on Quantum Leap show.

Well......
Im not sure how it makes the phone look bigger because the case isnt pictured with the phone in it.
Anyways I was in Sprint looking to see if they had gotten in either of my two favorites which are otterbox or ballistic and they hadnt. There was an older than me gentle man who was looking for a case for his phone and they had none and he said he was affraid he was going to break it. I explained that I understood seeing how my first one lasted 20hrs. I reached in my back pocket and gave him the case. He wanted to pay me for it but I told him it wasnt necessary and wished him a happy holiday season. He seemed a bit confused as well as the Sprint employees wonder why I was asking about a case when I am just pulling them out of my pocket giving them away like toys from Santa's bag. I think giving away an $8 freely shipped case to someone who will appreciate the act and may recipicate an act of kindnes to someone else this season is worth the small investment.

I have this exact case as well. It makes the phone too big for breast pockets, but still fine for pants pockets and carrying. I plan on only using it for when I need protection, but not as a daily driver. For the price, you can't beat it.

Ordered the same case. Do you have pics of the phone in it?

I have this case i think it feel really good in the Hand and looks good too. CLICK on the Link to see the Pictures

Agreed, but the TPU is a lot more stiff. Not certain but I would venture to guess these cases wouldn't do as well in drop tests.
