Looking for a hip pouch/holster case... - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Been driving myself crazy trying to find something like this and keep coming up empty. 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

item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=360649119899?
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.

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.

Casemate pop w/ kickstand

I posted a few pics of this case in some other threads but after a few days with the case i feel its needs its own thread. This case is an awesome case. I purchased it for $40 at an at&t store and replaced my sprint bodyglove with it. The cas3 feels better in my hand then the bodyglove. It definitely feels like it would protect better if i drop it. It fits very good nice and tight. It has a really nice gloss finish and the kickstand really comes in handy when my sons watching movies. I was gona get the otterbox commuter but im liking this case so much i think this ones a keeper. I highly reccomend this case

Thanks for the quick review! I was hoping to get this case as well. I had it for my Galaxy S2 way back when (I won it online, hehe) and absolutely fell in love with it.
I don't understand why Case Mate says they weren't going to make this case, and it's already for sale, just not on their website. Exclusivity? I don't know... Lame!
I hope speck comes out with the Pixel HD case, I loved it
I bought this case today at att. I also just got my phone today.
So odd, after putting the case on my phone acts weird now. It powers off randomly and shuts off when I unplug it from a charge (occasionally)

Hmmm so far i havent had any issues. Also i had this case for my s3 bc like now it was the only good case that seem to be instock when the phone 1st came out and also just like now i had to buy it from an at&t store. But once the s3 was out for about a month as we all know every company was pumping out cases and i was switching cases every week. Ended up with an atomic green commuter but was about to go back to the casemate then i sold my s3. Its an awesome case

Have been using the very same case for almost two weeks now, and so far it's been the best case for me. I gave away the seidio surface to the at&t store, and a couple of eBay cases, since this pop will be a daily driver for the near future. If only they made the same in black, I'd switch...

I like the Pop Case as well. I had it for the GS2, GS3 and now the Note 2. It's very solid for protection and there is enough edge covered to protect the phone when it is turned face down. My favorite things about the case is the grip. It's enough to securely hold the phone and not too much that you have to battle to take it out of your pocket. The power and volume buttons are covered just right as far as no accidental presses while still being easy to press.
I don't use the kickstand too much but it could be made more solid as the hinge feels very fragile. It does work however in both portrait or landscape placement.

It's also worth mentioning that, unlike most cases like it (at least the ones I've seen), the rubber edge sits perfectly around the edge and does not touch the glass. And it is completely solid and does not move at all, so there is no accidentally slipping it off and loosing protection.

Dx.com has a bunch of cheap bumper cases for around $3 in multiple colors that match the flip case colors. I would check them out.
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.

Wow. A VERY helpful post.
And, out of curiosity, what, precisely, is so unreasonable or absurd about his request? Namely, a TPU bumper without an antenna cutout (an antenna which apparently is ONLY available in tiny little Korea and nowhere else in the world) with button cutouts (a preference but apparently not a requirement from the looks of his post)?

If the buttons lined up fine and doesn't need a whole lot of pressure to work the buttons vs uncovered I wouldn't mind. But a few of the cheap cases don't line up and make it more difficult.
But I spent over an hour the other night and I think I found 1 maybe 2. But they didn't do much for me.

That antenna is available in other countries also, like Japan. Not just Korea (not sure if the antenna is even used in Korea.) Don't assume and then post as a fact.
I never called his idea or desire absurd as you say, I just know it doesn't exist.
I've spent hours looking for a decent tpu bumper. I've purchased 2 and they are terrible. A good tpu bumper does not exist for the note 2. That's why I called it a unicorn.
I would sincerely like to know if he finds this item, since I would like one also.

I tried it and it was a failure. Lol A designed/molded one has a finished edge on the lip. This keeps it somewhat rigid and adds strength. When I cut one it got all floppy and flimsy. Didn't work well.

Yeah, I'm slightly worried about that too, but if you think you'll be dropping it, a heavy duty case will likely serve you better. I use a case to avoid scratches and not really for drop protection, which seems to fall in the realm of luck/bad luck.

Maybe the Seidio Convert case is what you'd be looking for? It's kind of expensive, but looks like it provides a ton on protection.
Edit: Looks like this would work if your duty belt was 1 1/2" or smaller.
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-convert-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr4ssgt2.htm
I would love to get the UAG, but I need screen protection and from what I see, they do not offer a case like the defender.
It comes with a screen protector.... but also the front lip of the case extends maybe a 1/4 of an inch past the screen to protect from falls, if that's what you mean
I want something with a hard plastic cover for the screen, just like the defender.
I don't have time to look through the patents that they have (76 issues, 70 more pending), but if I recall, having a screen protector built into the case is one of them

depending on which region youre from, with the money you save from buying a UAG instead of an otterbox, you can afford to add a tempered glass screen protector as well, which offers better protection. this is the route i went, still waiting for my clearvue glass screen protector though.
Yeah UAG case is better

If you don't mind about knocked off cases. You can try griffin survivor v2 for note 2. It covers all the ports even the camera and stylus. also have built in screen guard. The built just like defender. 3 layers.
The defender is the only one i have found over a month, that has a built in hard plastic protector
Nothing can compare to defender case...its the best!!

Where did you see Survivor for Note 2? They make it only for iPhone and Galaxy S3.

Maybe the Seidio Convert case is what you'd be looking for? It's kind of expensive, but looks like it provides a ton on protection.
Edit: Looks like this would work if your duty belt was 1 1/2" or smaller.

Unfortunately, only the liner on most duty belts is 1.5 inches. The belt itself is 2.5.
But thanks!

That case looks amazing, and it looks like that snap piece that the clip is on could fit onto a large belt.
I have no need for the clip piece, but I may buy one since I am looking for a defender replacement due to the stupid echo. For $20 shipped from China, I might as well get one and put a review up here.
Ordered it, should be here in 6 months or so thanks to china post

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.

Yeah, I thought about getting some of that tape stuff but somehow putting tape on a $500 phone just feels wrong.. but I may have to resort to 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.. And yeah, I had a Fly Grip, but I made the mistake of selling it with the phone I had at the time, plus I pocket this slab of a phone and I'm not sure I could handle the extra bump on the back...
No rush I'm just a case hoarder lol. If you find something else hit me up.

One of the few that's actually described as being grippy, that may be the ticket... haha.. thanks

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.

Does that case have any kind of lip on the front so you can lay the phone on it's screen and it won't touch the surface? I couldn't tell from the pics on that site?

Have you looked at the Case-mate Pop case? This is probably my favorite case I own. It has rubber grips on both sides of the case, and on the lip in the front. I think this may be what you are looking for.

All yhe reviews on that thing say the kickstand is a POS... is it really that bad?.. I probably wouldn't use it but it would kinda suck if I broke it the 1st time I used it... what's your thoughts on it?

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.

I honestly prolly wouldn't use the kickstand that much either... but it's good to know that it's probably not as bad as some of the reviews..
