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

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

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.
Does anybody know if there'll be a pouch for the diamond 2 like for the diamond? Or simply will the Diamond pouch fit the diamond 2?
the diamond 1 pouch does not fit the d2
Don't think there is an official pouch, pdair have quite a few different ones available tho.

If you look at the Tracy & Matt unboxing video, its shows an HTC Pouch in the box. However, everyone so far has said it doesn't come in the box. Conclusion? I think there is/will be one, but it will a separate purchase like the with the D1.
I've been looking at the Beyza pouch for the Samsung Pixon. The Pixon has identical size stats to the D2 (well its 1mm wider), so if its just a pouch you are after, that may fit the bill.
Pdair are now selling a vertical pouch without belt clip, just ordered one myself.

I was looking at that too. I just want something slim and simple to not add bulk so it can slip in a pocket. Can you let us know what you think when it arrives?

Not sure how long delivery will take but will do when I get it.
Horizontal Pouch, HTC Brand
I bought this one: http://www.negrielectronics.com/touch-diamond-leather-pouch-p-2424.html
It is a Velcro closure and the phone does not fit well. further, it does not have a hard side to protect the touch screen. I assume this is a general case by HTC. I bought this, but I will probably continue to use the case from my Trinity, the fit is the same but this at least has some protection on the sides.
In a word, Disappointed. I am not sure why they skipped the case, and then fail to offer a decent one at launch time.
http://www.noreve.com/index.php
Looks like Noreve are going to do one too. Expensive, but nice, classy cases. See upcoming products at bottom of web page.
Asia model comes with those pouch similiar to original Touch Pro.
http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/?prod_id=3306&tid=4110889
Just be aware of these pouches
I did not get one with this or the TD1 ... with the TD1, the original one went on stock very quickly and I bought it for almost £10!
While the fitting was slim and snug, I couldn't help thinking that the tight fit had potentially caused light scratches on the rear (front I was not bothered as it had the protector on)
On the day I sold it, I did a very intensive clean on it and noticed there were indeed scratches that corrosponded with the pouch.
It only takes a small bit to be trapped in the pouch - you then slide the TD1 in and that bit goes down with it
I still don't know however what I want for my TD1, at the moment, I am using the original Ipod velour case that was bundled with I think the original 20gb ipods!

Yes, I prefer this pouch too. Unfortunately the HTC designation of that pouch is not mentioned on their website (i.e. the HTC PO S390 as for the D1), so a purchase seems to be tricky....
I just bought this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360151845729 since i want as thin as possible.
This isn't going to appeal to everyone since they aren't bargin basement cheap but I've just got one of these cases delivered this morning. I went for Nappa cowhide black B on the outside and red suede leather for the lining with no belt clip attached and hidden magnet closure. The case itself looks fantastic, stiching quality is excellent (not a loose piece of thread visible anywhere) and overall protection where its needed the most (on the screen) is hard to beat with the wrap over flap on the front. It took a couple of weeks from order to delivery, but for a case which is made to your own specification, right down to having your name embossed on the front, that isn't bad. If you want a quality product made to you want it, and personalised, give them a go, I'd definitely recommend them. They do a range of different styles so if a fold over horizontal pouch isn't to your liking have a look at the other options.
Nice, i just orderd one too
Nice cases, not cheap although they look very nice...
I have found my HTC Kaiser case that came with phone and I'll use that until something better comes along.

Got the case yesterday, it adds quite a bit of bulk so if you're looking for a really slim fit then look elsewhere, other than that it is of good quality and has a nice professional look about it so is ideal for work. It also offers lots of protection for the device.

@galvinize: is it possible to take the belt clip off? doesnt look like in promo pictures - but in yours.
edit: could you please take a picture with the front up - or is it just a sliding case?
Hey guys, if someone can help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.
I just bought my father the note (sold his GS2 on craigslist) and i got him this case on amazon.
The problem is, my father is used to using a leather holster case that the whole phone slips into, this holster obvioulsy isnt like that, one side goes in, then the other.
He tried getting a holster case by the different stands he usually goes to bu the ones they have, dont fit the phone and the rubber seido case....
has anyone else had this problem and found a leather holster that fits the note and a case?
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Was he BlackBerry? We used pocket cases with those. I use a very nice pocket case from amazon.com.

Sorry, i guess i wasnt really specific. more of this kind of case... but it would have to fit hit protection case too...
I doubt you're gonna find a leather case that let's the phone and the rubber case slide in to. But if you boosted in the accessories forum you might get more answers.

I bought new one Note 3, and wanna some interesting protective case for it. Can anyone suggestion some?
Thanks
Depends on what you want a soft case or a hard case. Personally with my experience this phone is so big that the smaller the better. I prefer the .3 mm cases on Ebay. But the Spigen Neo Hybrid is a sexy case but can get uncomfortable in the hand after a while. The Caseologic cases are nice and not too terribly bulky and feel like a leather material. Spigen also make a simple TPU case that is decent. The S View cover or knockoff comparable is also decent but basically like not having a case all together if dropped.
Be more specific to what you want and I can throw some more out.
I recently ordered the Iron Man case for my note 3 from Brando shop. They are currently offering free shipping. http://shop.brando.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-MARVEL-Iron-Man-3-Iron-Patriot-Protective-Case_p10319c1616d011.html

Well If you are looking for a belt clip case so that it can make you feel comfortable at your work place and you can also enjoy the media viewing too......then I would highly recommend this shellster belt clip case for N3 as personally I am using this case from last 3 months and believe me the quality of the case is very impressive and moreover the belt clip is the sturdiest one I have ever used....so you can check out

I just received the Spigen Neo Hybrid today from amazon. Very nice!! Sharp looking case....didn't add too much bulk. After I purchased I read some people think it adds too much bulk so I was worried. Once I received it, I am happy I went with it.

Ok, thank you
I'm looking for suggestions for a thin case for my Pixel that will fit in a belt holster. I'm currently using this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG4BBX1/
but the case is pretty thick, around 3.5mm. All of the ones in that style have a kickstand on the back, which adds to the thickness.
I see Seidio makes a Surface which they say is 2mm thick, quite a bit thinner. I've never had one, and am not sure about the TPU inner part covering the buttons, wondering if it messes up the feel.
https://www.seidioonline.com/product/google-pixel-surface-case/
Any comments on the Surface for this (or other) phones, or suggestions for a thin case/belt holster set?
I use a Google Live Case with a vertical leather belt pouch like this one. Works well for me.
I thought about the Seidio Surface, but don't like kickstands.
I can recommend the Supcase that comes with a belt clip but it's not the thinnest thing in the world - definitely a thicker heavy duty case. No kickstand though.
On that note, I'd be happy to mail you the belt clip if you wanted it if you paid for shipping, as well as test my various cases first to see if any are compatible with it. Just let me know. (My wife uses the case but not the belt clip.)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had bad luck with phones sliding out of that type of case (running with the dog or working under a car).

Thanks, but I have a belt clip for it without a case (think it's encased brand, ironically).
I decided to order a Surface and give it a try. Showed up today. The TPU part is a lot thinner than I was expecting. I'll post some thoughts on it after I've had it a few days.
I have the Surface case with holster and I like it. It's not too think, but still protective. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it didn't break

What's the verdict?
I had one like this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXDYKP7) on my Galaxy S6 and Moto Z, but would like a little protection on the Pixel.

That's the holster I was using when I didn't have it in a case. I liked it, but decided to stick with a case. Phone was a little too slippery for me without one.
I ended up returning the Seidio case/holster. For one thing, it was more difficult to get in and out of the holster, although it probably would have loosened up over time. Some of the headphones I have didn't fit the jack with it on, and the lip around the front made it more awkward to use. A lot of it came down to I just didn't think it was anywhere near being worth the price. For me anyhow. I see Amazon has a like new one right now for $21 though.
I'm still using the case/holster combo I linked to in the first post, and it's protected the phone from a few fumbles drops just fine.
