I know the topic on cases has been brought up before, and after reading most of the posts none of them offer comments or suggestions on the type of case that I am looking for. I am looking for a vertical leather slipcase that does not have a flap over the top and the clip is fixed to the case but can rotate. If this type of case is not available, is there something close to it. Maybe one that has a flap with some type of magnetic closure.
Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions in advance.

I'm also looking for a vertical case, but have not found one that meets my requirements.
For now, I am using the Krusell case from my old Sony Ericsson P900, which is very close to what is needed and offers good protection.
The great thing about this case is that it has a clear window on the front, so you can see the display and use the phone without having to unclip or flip anything. It also gives access to most of the important buttons (I don't use the camera or voice buttons), the connectors at the bottom and the holes for the speaker are in the right place. The downside is that it is a bit too tall.
Sadly, the Krusell cases for the Wizard are either PDA style or do not give enough protection (I'm clumsy).
All the cases that I have seen so far are PDA style and not phone style.
I really do not want to have to unclip or flip any flappy bits simply to answer the phone.

Not sure if this is what you're describing but you might want to check www.seidioonline.com They have a "swivel clip holster" for the Cingular 8125.
Although this model is a Wizard (as far as I know) I'm not sure how closely the external surface contours match the other wizard models. This might be an issue with a holster such as this.
Hope this helps
i'm using one for the blackberry 7100,
fits your requirements.....
Was looking through ebay, and realized there are lots of different types of cases! What do you guys suggest, and are there other accessories that you highly recommend? Thanks in advance!

What is your preference, belt holster or jacket pocket?
Something that'd fit in my pocket would be best....but with the size of this phone I'm guessing a belt holster would be best? I don't wear baggy pants/shorts...
I have a Krusell 95136, which is well made and works brilliantly for me.
I also have a nutshell, made to survive any and all encounters. I love it cause it has that hand crafted feel and look to it, but I hardly use it these days since I do prefer a horizontal holsters.
Believe it or not, AT&T 's case is very nicely working for me
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...1030054&q_manufacturer=att&q_model=prod950001
This is made out of leather, adjustable angel of the belt clip, it has enough give to have extended battery.
Hi,
Anyone has any idea where I can get a carrying pouch for hermes without the belt holster? Currently I'm using Krussell's leather case, which is bulky even after i remove the belt clip. There is still the clip adapter that sticks out to make the already "thick" phone even thicker.
What I am looking for is just a pouch that doesnt add to the thickness so much, and that of I can carry around. All of ebay's pouches has a belt clip to it.
Thanks

My wife got fed up with there not being any out there she liked, and made herself one. If you are interested, I might be able to talk her into making one for you...
How about this one...

Hmm.. Never thought of making one myself. I'll try to make one myself. Could you provide me a pic of how your wife's pouch looks like? Thanks a bunch!

Wow. I like the one from pocketsolutions, but it's a little expensive if you ask me. Maybe I can make one myself based on the designs on pocketsolutions
Have you considered a Silicone skin?

Hmm,
This is nice and relatively cheaper. Are you using one of these? Mind to share your experience with me? Cause I had a phone with a silicone skin before. It looks great with the skin, only problem was it makes it more difficult for me to get the phone out of my pocket, if you know what I mean.
Thanks

Sorry, I didn't get an email stating there was a response to the thread. I will try to take a picture of it when I get off of work tonight. She basically crocheted a cover that also has a strap so she can hang it around her neck. There is also a little cover flap that can be used for the screen. It's version 1.0, she plans on making a new one. I personally don't like stuff hanging from my neck, but that thing is pretty darn innovative. I will see about posting that image tonight.

Ok, not sure how well this is going to work, but attached are pictures of the pouch my wife made for her phone. If you need any ideas or help with making one, she should be able to help. Also, she used cotton for version 1, she is switching up to acrylic yarn for ver 2, (helps with it not getting so dirty). Hope that helps with some ideas for making your own
Don't use silicone skins, don't like them. I think they usually make a phone look ugly.
Way to go Rif_Luna, your wife is inventive. I somewhat think it looks a bit to retro so.
I would have cut a piece of leather to size, folded it inside out and stitched the sides together. Reverse the leather again so that the nice side is on the outside and you have a crude but snugg fitting leather pouch.
Either make the pouch a bit shorter then the phone or cut U shaped indentations at the top to make it easier to pull the phone out of the pouch.
How does that sound?¿

Hey! That was what I thought too! That's why I've been missing for the past few days. Went around looking to buy a piece of leather at a bargain. I have also thought of modifying my old/current pouches such as removing the belt clip by force, cutting them into parts to be combined and so on, but i figured that the resulting pouch might be ugly.
Haha.
I know questions have been asked. And I realize all have their favorite cases. I am suggesting this thread as a "clearing house" of cases that definitely work with the car dock. If users could post links (and maybe photos) of these cases, I'm sure myself and many others would appreciate it.
I'm about to ramble a bit, sorry if I get a little off topic here and there...
I generally stick with skins, because with my EVO thats all that would work the car dock. With this new dock, the Photon can have a smallish case and still work with the dock if the insert is removed. I like that forward thinking from Moto regarding this, and the design of the dock is way better than the HTC one for the EVO. I also like how the skin will protect from a lot of things but add no bulk.
I just got in a number of skins from Phantom Skinz, and applied one to my Photon today. Overall, I like the product. It does make it a tad hard to get out of the dock with the insert in, because the skin material has a slight give to it (a soft plastic vs rigid). I wish that they included a little spray bottle, like ones I got from Body Guardz. They say to get a cup of warm water, add a touch of soap to it and dunk the skins into it. its hard to get just right, i ended up having a bit too much soap i think and theres some bubbles underneath that I dont think will go away. The fit of these skins is great. I've used some that are just a hair too big, and they end up snagging on things because they overhang. the corners where the skin wraps around the unit did have to be tweaked a bit: i had to ttrim a little off and make wider v cuts to make sure it didnt bunch up. There is a skin section for every side of the Photon, including the camera section. it doesnt cover the lens, and the fact that they had a piece for it impressed me. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the skin style protectors, but only if you're quite patient.
http://phantomskinz.com/motorolaphoton4g.aspx
This thread is a good idea. I can tell you that the case and holster that is sold by sprint does not fit, but only slightly contacts the material around the connector. I may trim it to see if I can get it to fit easily.
I can confirm that the OtterBox Commuter does not work. Also, even the little cheapo hard shell snap together cases do not work.
Incipio Feather Hard Case for Motorola Photon 4G
Hi all,
I recently purchased an Incipio Feather Slim hard case for my Photon 4G and so far it does seem to work with the car dock, though I had to add a little foamy tape on the right side of the dock so the phone would sit straight when it is in the dock, incidentally I am not using the insert that came with the dock, the website is myincipio dot com.
Problem is, I cannot find a classy leather horizontal case that will accommodate the phone with the Feather case on; everything I have been able to find so far looks cheap and flimsy not to mention too small. I guess one real advantage to sticking with an iPhone is that the after market accessory options available are so vast that if one just keeps looking for what they want they will most likely find it. Anyway, my 2 cents.
TPU cases don't work
I picked up a "TPU" case via eBay (pic attached). It's similar to the silicone skins except the material is a little stiffer and has a glossy finish (which I prefer).
Without the insert, the phone does fit physically in the dock, but the contact with the dock connector is poor. I may need to do what h8zgray wrote and that is to put some kind of pad on the right side of the dock to help hold up the phone. I think I have some left over weatherstripping I could use...
For the time being, I'm using an Arkon Mega Grip mount in my car.
I found it ironic that the dock doesn't work with some of the "official" Sprint cases, like the gray plastic two-piece case.
I hope someone can find a good case that will fit.
Update: Another member posted a comment in another thread that enlarging the notch surrounding the USB/microHDMI port could help make cases fit the car dock. There's a raised area in the dock surrounding the USB connector. I took a second TPU case and enlarged the opening for the USB/microHDMI ports and that made the case work in the dock. The connection is a little loose but I think adding a thin strip of padding to the right side of the dock might help keep the phone and case stable. So the stock TPU case won't work without this modification.
Pardon my rant...
Is it so much to ask for a leather case that does NOT have a cover? I just want a nice, simple, slim leather case that is nothing more than a case. I really don't understand why there are hundreds of leather wallet or flip cases, some look as if they even have the nice looking case I want (only attached to a cover) but I have yet to find one single nice leather case. Apple themselves sells a gorgeous and simple leather case for their devices and it irks me that I am pretty much stuck with TPU bugdroid or polycarbonate as my choices for a slim and simple case.
Anyone finding anything I haven't?

Wow, the last time I saw Noreve come up they only had the flip/wallet case and pouches available. The back case (first link in your post) is new to me, and looks... pretty damn close to what I've hoped for. Thanks for the timely reminder!
EDIT: Just did a quick dive through YouTube and am a little skeptical about how accurate the renders on the site are with respect to the thickness of the case along the edges, and specifically how disruptive the cut-out portions might be.
There's a review of the iPhone 6 back case that shows just how chunky the sides are, and if you compare it against how the same product is rendered on Noreve's website, there's a pretty huge visual difference. And in my opinion the thickness on video looks a lot less attractive.
Anyhow, it might be mitigated somewhat by the relatively larger footprint on the Nexus 6, but I kind of don't feel like dropping ~$35 to test it :\
Yeah that case looks wayy too chunky.. the case should just be a thin layer of leather glued to polycarbonate.
You can always do what @Pilz did (and I later copied him). Get yourself one of them real Horween leather back skins from @slickwraps and slap it onto a Spigen case. Pilz has photos all over this forum of how good it looks. I have two cases, one with dark leather and one with distressed tan leather (my favorite), and rock them both. Nothing better than the smell of real leather!
I bought this off ebay for 2.99. I love it. Took a few weeks to arrive though...

Thats not real leather, and the quality seems to be pretty bad. many of those photos show fibers coming out from under the ring cutout for the camera, for several different colors.
I like this leather case, been using it for a few months now, it's relatively thin:

has anyone ever found in the US what the original poster describes?
i am looking for a case that is only a back made of leather. i do not want a skin
Just letting everyone know that I ordered one of the leather cases off of Noreve. I will update when I receive it, and will post pictures.
