Hi,
Anyone know of a horizontal leather carry case that will fit the phone with the protective cover plus on it? I've seen the XXXL case on the american amazon, but that's not over here in the UK that I can see, and I think it states it can fit the phone with the otterbox commuter case on which means I think it'd be a little too big for the samsung case?

i think that's what you're looking for.
it's a tight fit, but it will work.
i just tested it myself, and it's at the absolute limit of what the pouch can handle.

How are the silicone cases suchs as these http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=xperia+silicone&_sacat=See-All-Categories
from Ebay?
I have never seen one in real life. Is the phone harder to operate with the case? Does it bulk up the phone too much?
I used to own a HTC tytnII (without a silicone case) which is slightly bulkier than the Xperia, and so if I could handle the HTC's slight bulk, then I would assume the Xperia w/ silicone case would be of similar size, no?
I wouldn't get a silicone case, they are very responsive to touch and uncomfortable.
I mean responsive as in they always get in the way, and you know how silicone is, it flexes and it bends.
They also feel uncomfortable for me.
This is about silicone cases for all phones and mp3 players.
I'd rather let me Xperia scratch than to be protected by that obstacle.
i would have agreed to u ..but the battery cover of my X1 got little scratches from coins in the pocket and now i am worried.
maybe leather covers?
those silicone cases do their job for a cheap price, I've used a few of them on a few makes of phones & they've been fine, but idd regards they feel a bit weird at 1st as in their like a condom but once u get used to them their ok I'd say.
Or you can indeed go buy a leather case & they vary from cheap .HK 1's to proporta etc... again I've had a few, even used expensive 1's.
I'm currently using a silicone case now & then with my diamond but mostly I have it in a leather flip style case, also got 2 leather pouch style cases...
My advice to any 1 who buys an expensive pda/ phone is to protect it 1 way or another with either a case or a pouch oh & always fit a screen protector also
Or don't care & get your pda scratched or chipped etc...
I had similiar one when I owned Touch Pro.
the fitment is ok (not the best) but I think the quality is at best average.
I just bought this one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Silicone-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Since I like silicone cases better than regular leather or pouch ones.
Silicone Cases are Great
I've been using silicone cases for years. They do not bulk up the phone, and they give great protection. All the ports are available, and the buttons usable. And, they're inexpensive!
is the optical pad covered using the silicone case?

Yes, they block the pad, at least the ones off of eBay do (I just recieved one)
There are some rubber cases that leave that area uncovered. You can find them on eBay as well. Although I don't now how the keyboard slide function works out with those.
the ones from hong kong off ebay are not very good, I have stopped using mine, so anyone thinking of buying one just avoid them.... I can post some pics if you want....
Clear Plastic Instead of Silicone
You might want to try a clear plastic case. I bought a couple from Ebay and like them better than the silicone ones. The ones I bought were about $3.25 each. Since they're clear, the allow the beauty of the phone show through. Plus, none of the buttons are covered.
As I use my HD2 with a gel case, I can't use a normal leather case which are to tight to fit my HD2. I found on ebay a seller who will make a custom case with the dimensions of my HD2 with gel case. Besides the dimensions of your phone you can customize your case in different ways, even with your own words engraved.
I didn't have to pay more then the normal price for a leather case for a HD2.
I think this could be very useful info for everyone who has a gel skin on his HD2. Ordered mine today and will give feedback when my case arrives.

I ordered this case and wasn't impressed. First one wasn't done with the right cutouts so they sent a second one. The belt clip on the second one wasn't tight around my belt and just kept falling off. Pretty much just gathering dust in my desk now.

Just received my leather case today. It's well made and a perfect fit. I've chosen the wider belt clip, it is holding tight on my belt, so no problems concerning the problems mentioned above. I think this leather case will not gathering dust in my desk.
This seller is also the only place so far as I know that makes custom leather cases from given dimensions.
I'm looking for a fairly durable case (just for me clumsily dropping it... I work a computer job so it doesn't need to be bulletproof) with some sort of kickstand and a belt clip. The only 2 I've seen by reputable brands I've seen for this has been the OtterBox Defender (with the holster being the kickstand) and the Seidio Active (with the case having it's own kickstand).
The Otterbox Defender seems overkill for my needs, but my wife has an Otterbox Commuter for her iPhone 5 and I'm super impressed with the build quality. But the Commuter has no kickstand or belt clip. I was curious if anyone has experience with the Seidio Active and how it compares to the OB Commuter and if the kickstand being way off center is an issue in day to day use? Or if there are any other suggestions?
The Active for the Note 2 is getting somewhat dubious reviews based on the inner layer being very loose around the edges. I personally won't use an Otter Box Defender because the interior plastic case, in a perfect display of why hard plastic should never be in direct contact with your phone, scratches up the phone case itself, the built-in screen protector actually traps dust and sand under it (leading to scratches), and the whole thing caused overheating problems with my Skyrocket.
I'm awaiting a Seidio Surface case, but if you look on eBay or Amazon, you'll find cases that are essentially identical to the Seidio active, but $10-12 instead of $40+. On eBay, they're called Rugged cases. On Amazon, they're called Rhino cases.
I looked at the Surface as it also has a kickstand but I'm a little hesitant as it just doesn't seem to provide enough protection. Maybe I'm a little "gun shy" because I dropped my last phone and cracked the screen. That's also the reason I'm hesitant about any of the $10 cases on Amazon or Ebay. Does their protection really compare with something like an Otterbox or Seidio?
i actually ordered an Active that just arrived, but im going to send it back without even trying it. too many reviews about the rubber bring loose has turned me off from it. i have an Ionic case on it now and it seems that it might due until the Trident Aegis comes out. I'm wondering if the Aegis can fit in the Seidio holster? Otherwise I'll continue to pocket it and wait for something else.
I'm not going with the Defender because of the rubber inner peace loosing it's form over time with previous purchases. Ottorbox has had excellent customer service with replacements, but I don't want to go through the hassle.
I have the rugged/rhino case for my note 2.
It's ok, I personally don't like the feel of the rubber, especially compared to otterbox or casemate.
Also the bottom part of it is pretty loose.
It's ok for $8 but I'll be replacing it soon when something else shows I like.

I too have the Rugged (from eBay) while I wait for Seidio to process my refund of the Active. The holster for the Rugged is mega cheap, and the clip popped off on the first day that I had it last week. I contacted the seller, who actually sent me a whole new case and holster, which is nice, but it is the same POS holster that will break soon. It will do while I wait it out.
Just and FYI, I received and email from Ballistic that their case is now out for order.

I wanted the protection Otterbox gives, but I also wanted the sleek look of a leather wallet case. So I decided to MacGyver it and combine the two.
The Otterbox Defender you can't really find a discount on, you're paying $40 -$50 after shipping, I think I got mine on eBay.
The leather wallet case however varies tremendously! The one I got was $13 and i've seen them as high as $60. You can find them as cheap as $5-$6 This was the exact model I got:
http://www.cecompass.com/black-flip...tore=default&gclid=CNjZo_qSsbUCFUid4AodvRYAmw
The problem being the included plastic "phone holder" in the leather wallet case is too small once I got the Otterbox case on my Note II. With brute force I ripped the cheap plastic phone holder out of the leather case. I went to target and purchased 2 packs of 12 velcro squares, cost me about $5 total. I also used and would recommend using super-glue to glue the velcro squares both to the leather case and the corresponding area on the Otterbox case, you'll need the extra holding power!
I had to glue velcro on the closing strap too, as the case I got had a magnetic closure that no longer held with the addition of the Otterbox Defender case.
I also found the need to cut pieces of the leather case. The first being the edge near the S-Pen holder. It was too narrow for my fingers, cutting the corner off of it solved that problem. I also cut some of leather away from near the flash. While the case doesn't interfere with the camera visual field, sometimes the flash will catch the edge of the case and produce instant unwanted shadows. After cutting the leather, I used a black sharpie to color in the bare leather in the areas I cut which worked brilliantly =)
The result is the perfect solution for me. I have the elegance and usefulness of the black leather wallet case, and the protection of the Otterbox Defender. Also The wallet case folds backwards to pop and hold the Note II horizontally, perfect for watching Youtube, Netflix, or any video you want to watch. If anyone is interested, I'll take some more detailed pictures of where I put the velcro and the cut mods I made to the leather case.

You might try the Ballistic Jewel Case for the Note 5. They cost around $20 on ebay and Walmart. Pic attached. The case is completely clear, by the way, and the little dots on the back are inside the case holding the phone slightly away from it for added protection in case of drops. I like mine as it also feels soft and slightly sticks to surfaces instead of sliding off like more rigid cases do.
