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!

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.

[QUICK REVIEW] Nexus 7 OEM Case

So I just got my OEM case in from the Play Store and I figured I’d give you guys my initial thoughts on it and answer any questions you guys might have. First and foremost, I must say I am a little disappointed in the overall quality of this thing. It just doesn’t match that of the tablet that it is designed to protect. It’s a little on the thick side, it is made from a cheap TPU style material which I have never been a fan of, and it makes the sleep/wake and volume buttons rather difficult to press. The flap that folds over the screen is the same material, and while it does have a little extra thickness for protection, there is no soft liner to protect the screen. I guess that’s OK, because nothing will scratch the screen anyway when it’s closed. There is no magnet, clasp, or snap to hold it shut, but it does stay shut on its own when the tablet is set down. The hinge is very flexible, and you can fold the cover completely flat to the back of the tablet with little effort. Unfortunately, there is NO smart cover function here so it does not wake up the tablet or put it to sleep.
The design of the case matches that of the Nexus 7 closely. It has the same dimpled pattern on the front and back, and the Nexus and ASUS logos are the same size and in the same location as they are on the back of the tablet itself. One thing I really like about it is that I can clip my Wacom Bamboo stylus (my secret weapon in Draw Something and Where's my Water) directly to the spine of the cover which is pretty convenient. The way that the case was manufactured left seams running around the whole case, and you can see the score and cut marks where seemingly all the cases were stuck together on the assembly line. Sorry, but to me it all just makes it feel cheap. I do like the design of the case, I just think they could have made it with higher quality materials. If you happen to like TPU cases, then surely you will be more pleased with the case than I am. Looking online all the other cases available seem pretty cheap and I absolutely HATE leather cases so I think for now, this is the best case available. It really is a shame that this is what Google thinks is the best way to protect their pride and joy of the tablet world, I really wish they put as much thought into it as they did their tablet. All complaints aside, I can recommend this case on its design and level of protection alone- there is no question that the Nexus 7 is safe and sound nestled inside of it. $20 for this thing is a fair price in my opinion, and as critical as I am of it, I am very happy with my purchase and have no problem using it until a better option comes along.

How flexible is the "hinge"? can you fold the front flap over so it's behind?

Yes, absolutely. It folds flat behind the tablet. I'll add that to the review.

Try to put magnetic tape on the side and see if that works please ?

OP, does the stylus magnetically stick to the side of the case and tablet? Just wondering as I have seen several that do for the iPad.

The Wacom Bamboo that I have just has a clip like any other pen but the Adonit Jot Pro that I have on order has a magnet in it to stick it to the face of the tablet.

Thanks bud! Appreciate it. Going to order this as soon as it is available.

Just got back from the craft store, unfortunately none of the magnets I got work. I tried to get the thinnest magnet tape possible so maybe that's the issue. I bought these little .75"x.75" squares, those magnets for the back of business cards, and a roll of actual tape that comes on a dispenser like scotch tape. No go on any of them.

Greatly appreciate the review. Might opt to hold off on this now. :L

Thx for the review..I'll wait for an aftermarket case closer to the smart cover on the iPad....you know one is coming!

Pictorial review of the "Lychee Pattern Protective PU Leather Case for Nexus 7"

Pictorial review of the "Lychee Pattern Protective PU Leather Case for Nexus 7"
The product sells here (SKU #149565) on DX.com, purveyors of "sometimes fine, sometimes crappy, most of the time OK" products from China and Asia.
This product, at $9.80 + free shipping, beats anything I have found locally at Staples, Best Buy, etc. for less than half the price.
The case came in a simple plastic bag with a little foam insert. Simple but effective.

The "leather" is in fact some kind of (very) thin plastic, heat-glued (my guess) to cardboard. It looks and feel pretty nice however, almost luxurious. I was pleasantly surprised by the feel.
It will, probably, wear pretty quickly, especially at the seams and folds. I saw a tiny spec of wear already. However at that price, I'm not complaining. I'll buy another one in six months to replace this one.
The "top" part of the case (the "cover") is "leather like" and somewhat pliable, similar to a carrying case. It has some kind of felt-like finish, that will indubitably protect the tablet's screen. The elastic band is strong, and keep the case well closed.
The "bottom" part is rigid, it's in fact a plastic case that was covered with the thin fake leather fabric. Nicely done, attention to details is very very nice.
The top part cover is attached to the bottom case by a round plastic ring that allows the cover to be swiveled on any side thus allowing right-handed or left-handed use. The top part cover is also used to position the tablet in viewing mode, the case acting as a stand. There are two grooves that allow two viewing angles. One is too steep for my taste, the other is perfect.
There are cutouts, very nicely executed, with great attention to detail for this price point.
Conclusion: for less than ten bucks, you won't get a better case. Heck, I believe if you want to spend less than $25, then you might as well buy this. Over $30, you start to fall in the category of higher end cases and yes, you will probably find better ones. Even if I believe there are $25 cases out there that will probably be crappier than this!
This time, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of a product on DX.com that had no reviews...

I have this as well .
I have the same case . exactly in every way.. Mine does not hold on to the device really tight . And i just feel like the plastic that catches the bezel. will cause it to crack worse if dropped instead of protecting it.. So my case identical to that one is ahh well around here someplace. Not going on my nexus. I have the amzer impact resistance case in black. Its better then a tpu case it covers bezel nicely but its not as much protection for the edges as i would have liked.. but still a nice rubber slip on.. It fits in a portfolio type case i have so will use both..
great pictures Hope yours fits better then mine ..
thanks :good:

Thanks for the kind words Renee; yes mine holds it tight. Of course it's new, the plastic could loosen after some time and then it would, maybe, be like yours.
However - and I should have written that maybe in my review more explicitly - this is indeed NOT a case for impact protection. This is more a case for casual protection against scratches; for example to be able to protect the Nexus while in the backpack or the handbag...
Absolutely do not drop the tablet while in this case :laugh: !!!
I'll have a look at the Amzer case... Just in case I need something for more 'heavy duty' protection!

UPDATE! Broke after a week!
Yes boys and girls, the little plastic ring broke, suddenly, by itself, without any pressure having been put on it. It was either super-flimsy or it was defective. See the picture below.
So, you may want to stay way from this product, or maybe I was just unlucky.

Review: iPulse Journal Series Italian Full Grain Leather Flip case

This was provided to me for review.
Finding a good quality leather wallet case is not an easy task. A lot of wallet cases are out there, but I have found over the years that many of these are lacking a great deal in quality of the leather and/or the stitching.
While I have not had this case for that long yet, I can tell you that I am happy to see that this case in particular is not lacking in quality. You can tell the quality right when pulling this one out of the cloth-like pouch. It actually smells like leather. This is NOT the PU stuff (junk). The leather has a shiny/glossy look, and seems to be of good quality. The stitching is also well done here. No miss-stitching or lose threads.
The other thing that I really like about this one is the stand functionality. This works well and seems to allow the phone to be put into a good position for watching things on the phone. And lets face it, with this beautiful screen on the Note 8, who wouldn’t want to watch stuff on it.
There is also a magnetic clasp that keeps the case shut. This is really nice and in my opinion important to add safety to the phone if dropped.
The TPU case inside of the leather wallet that actually holds the phone seems to be pretty good. There are openings in all of the places where there needs to be.
The other thing important to mention is that wireless charging does work with this case on the phone, but only seems to do so with the Samsung charger. I have some other ones that are aftermarket that do not work with the case on. It is easy enough to get the phone out of the case though, so that is ok.
There are really only a couple of draw-backs to this case. One is that there is no earpiece opening on the front cover. I like to have this in cases like this as it allows me to keep the case closed and still talk on the phone without obstruction of the earpiece at all. The other thing is that there are cut-outs in the TPU case for the buttons. While this is nice, I almost wished that they were covered up. Not so much for added protection as I really don’t see this being needed, but so that the buttons could be pushed with the cover closed. In particular, the volume rocker. This would allow for one to quickly turn up/down the volume without having to open up the cover first. I often find myself needing to do this in meetings when I forget to place the phone on silence. Doh.
Overall though, this is really a nice case and I do recommend it highly if you are looking for a high quality leather wallet case for your Note 8.

Stay tuned to my review in a few days. I am get one to try and review for the seller/maker. I have the Whitestone dome and a knock off outterbox defender works while the 59.99 one I brought keeps lefting up the screen. I had to sand down the plastic.
Anyways I think it's time to change my carrying habits and try a wallet based case and will test out this case.

i also got the case and its one of the best. love the stand so i can sit back and watch videos. also it is well made and holds up very well. It keeps my phone very well protected.
