I remember Seidio makes those belt holsters for phones without a case. I've been searching around and all I found at the ones WITH some sort of case to be used with the holster.
I kind of prefer the naked device in the clip-on holster like Seidio makes. Sadly they don't/didn't made any for naked device, yet.
Any suggestions? I'm not used to keep the phone in my pocket. Oh yes I'm using the OEM extended battery and back.
yeah i would like to find one as well
I tried 3 different seidio ones i thought might work and all were a fail running naked. Best i came up with is a diztronix tpu case and evo 3d seidio holster.
Well I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170770107789
$4.40 shipped.
I'm going to bite the bullet and see how it works... I kinda prefer Seidio's padding inner design though.
Interesting.... Keep us posted.

I just recently got my 3vo and i need a case for it, never been a big fan of the otterboxes (just seem too bulky). I need a case that looks good and gives some protection.. i have a 2 year old that loves to play with my phone.. But im not sure what to get.. I dont work in construction or take my phone on any extreme sports, but i do forget my phone on my lap in the car all the time and go to get out and boom it hits the ground.. so i do need some protection..
So far this is the one im likeing

If you have a Best Buy near you, you can go there an try on some cases. They carry the one you posted too.
I had that case for my Evo 4G and I liked it a lot. Very nice case. The ones at Best Buy are named Pt, but they are made ny Seidio for Best Buy. Same exact case, just a different name stamped on it.

The casemate tough case is pretty nice. It's not super big like the defender but its not slim either. But it looks nice, fits great and protects well. I got mine off ebay for about 22 bucks new. Well worth it. I also have the seidio active but prefer the tough case and haven't taken it off for the last 2 weeks or so except to clean it.

I'm still waiting for the Ballistic Case for the Evo 3D to make its appearance on their website; waiting on the HC version.
The CaseMate's look pretty good as well. I've seen good reviews for the Tough Case that they make.
However, SLM is correct. Go try out the Platinum cases at Best Buy before you take the plunge with the Seidio case. It costs $34.99 at Best Buy for the same Seidio one you're interested in.
I'll tell you from experience that I have the Platinum case (a.k.a. a rebranded version of the Seido Active case), and it's pretty sweet! Rumor has it that Best Buy will also be getting the Seidio 1900 mAh batteries as well, but they'll too be rebranded as Platinum. The case I got is excellent and slimmer than the Otterbox cases. It comes in two pieces. You have a silicone sleeve with a felt-like interior that wraps around the phone, and then you have a strong plastic skeleton that wraps around the sleeve. Although the case is great, there are a few things that I don't like about it. For one, if you keep your phone in your pocket like me, you'll start to notice pocket lint collect around the edges of the case. Also, it's sometimes hard to press buttons around the edges of the phone. For example, I use Swype, and when I have to manually type in a word instead of swiping, it can be difficult pressing letters such as P or A. I'll accidentally hit the O or S keys. But it does offer damn good protection. I've gotten so accustomed to the case that it's just weird to hold the phone without it. The case also protects the dual cameras in the back. I have no clue why HTC decided to have the cameras stick out, but this case offers protection for them. As far as my pocket lint issue goes, I think I might invest in a holster for the phone. I'm not sure if Best Buy sells the Platinum branded holster that is compatible with the Active case, but I'll look sometime this week and let you know. I use my phone as my primary music player, whether it's mp3s stored on the phone, FM radio, or Internet radio, and I think that having it on my hip instead of my pocket will be a little bit more convenient for me.
As far as cases go, I've only seen the Platinum case with the black skeleton being sold at Best Buy. Seido sells their Active case with different colored skeletons, but the sleeve still remains black. I'm kinda disappointed Best Buy didn't sell the burgundy skeleton. I think it would've looked nice on this phone (I'm a fan of dark red colors.). If you want something more rugged, Seido sells on their website the Surface case (a hard two piece plastic shell available with or without a kickstand) and the Convert case. If you plan on drunkenly abusing your phone or chunking your phone at the wall after a pissed off conversation, I recommend the Convert case. It's like a combination of the Active and Surface cases. The inner layer is the Surface case, and then it's wrapped with a silicone sleeve and skeleton like the Active case. It also has a detachable cover for the rear cameras. To top it all off, the Convert case comes with a precision-cut screen guard. I don't really need all that thickness and protection, but I would put money down that the Convert case holds up to its name. If you plan on getting an extended battery though, make sure you get an extended case since the regular cases won't fit with the extended battery door.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck shopping for the right case!
I bought a silicon case with the wave. Protects camera, wich had to be protected since it sticks out. Also protects the other buttons and seems to fit well...
Its only 1,50 dollar so thats not a bad deal.
The TPU case is really awesome. It's on ebay and really cheap! Just search ebay for "evo 3d tpu case"
Only one downside, almost every 3vo owner has it
Red Body Glove case
I have the Body Glove case in red, and I like it a lot. It is a nice looking case.
I have no issues with mine unlike some others, but check out the pictures here:

The available colors are Red, Blue, Gray, Silver, and maybe White too.

Sounds good, let us know what you decide. Bhambalek said they only have the black skeleton shell at his Best Buy. My local Best Buy only had them in white. Maybe yours will have both so you'll have options. Good luck!

Just unpacked and put on my Seidio Active with holster, got the saphire blue from Versio Mobile on Amazon, 34.49 shipped.
Very nice case, fits very snug, like the inner skin and outer skeleton, holster is very solid. Only complaint, that the camera glass is not protected; probably order a carbon skin so I can throw some protection on that glass. Had a TPU on her since day one and glad I upgraded to this one.

I also like and recommend the TPU Skin Cover Phone Case for HTC Evo 3D http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Cases-Flexible-Sprint-Retail-Packaging/dp/B0053NWDO0
I have the Sedio Surface case and am happy with it. Decent protection and it has a kickstand also.
I posted a review on sprintusers, but dont know the policy here about linking to other forums.
i picked up the PT Cruiser case yesterday, i was able to get the black and white one that i liked.. Now i first off the bat i really like the look and feel of the case, but i dont like how the phone fits in the rubber sleeve, its not a real snug fit. So i can see pocket lint and other things easily able to get inbetween the phone and the rubber side, but other then that i like it so far.. Its still a lil early to make a final decision on the case..
But again thanks for everyones responces, i have to say this site really does rock!!
one word: otterbox defender. Ok so that was 2 words.
I have four requirements:
(1) Decent protection all around except for screen.
(2) Protection for the camera.
(3) Must lie flat and not wobble when typing w/phone on table.
(4) Must not make the phone significantly fatter (otterbox is OUT).
Anyone have any suggestions? I actually like the gel case from Sprint but it doesn't protect the camera.
Mike
i like seidio case the best
i've tried all sorts of cases and I keep coming back to my casemate tough case, can't go wrong with that one. It's not that bulky and offers just the right amount of protection without having your phone inside a vault like the defender.
Seidio Active or Platinum Cruiser. I had the Seidio on my Evo 4G for a year. Get the holster from Seidio to prevent the lint issue and clip it inside of your pocket. Something that nobody mentioned is that the rubber bezel allows you to set the phone face down without the screen contacting. That also makes it slip resistant and prevents an unattended ringing phone from vibrating off of the desk. Not too much bulk either.

hi
I bought this nice phone, but it looks kind fragile so I wanna buy a case.
but because I'm from czech republic and there are no shops where I can try these cases [how they fit and how I feel them in my hand]. I really need your help, which one to pick. I'll buy the case from ebay.
I watched some videos and both cases look fantastic. But I can't judge how nice and tight silicon fits. Which case is smaller. [better for me] and which has batter grip
btw I hate touching my camera on evo [big,cold, sharp edges - really wanna get rid of this!!!]
seidio has the camera "in hole"
and Tough has silicon over it
I love to carry my phone on belt, is there some usable holster for Tough case ?
Go for case mate its tight from what I have seen.
and case mate looks like it also has a better grip.. but only thing which stopped me to buy it is that I don't know how can I attach it to my belt? Is there any compatibile holster or someting similar to use ?

Seidio is alright overpriced and tends to break . They have holsters for there cases. That always is a pain for me to find a good case and holster. I went and bought a trident kraken case and I'm more then happy with it comes with a holster . Get them on eBay cheaper then from trident site.
The case is light and solid. Anyways hope you find something a lot of cases are good.
Most big companies have holsters for the cases they make.
I saw some videos with kraken and it's superb case with best features,like kickstand and belt holster, which is the most I can imagine from a good case. But its really huge, expensive case.. class of otterbox defender rather than midsized case like what I want.. but great case,no doubt.
I really can't make decision which case to buy
Is there any midsized case (can be even just silicone if fits tight) which is great in other written aspects and has belt holster option?? Maybe I overlooked something.

Look at the kraken thread I have pics of my case and there is one with a pic of the defender case next to it. Kraken isn't as big as folks think its smaller thinner then otterbox defender . To me its slim prefer it over the defender and seidio also over the others I have used.
EBay u can snag a kraken for 25 bucks on there free ship too.
I don't know of anything else that is worth having to keep your phone protected to the max with anything slimmer that has a good holster .
I have the Case-Mate Tough Case. Love it. Very tight fit. Been dropped a couple times and it is good to go. I even put an Invisible Shield screen cover on it. Fits very well with case. Best combo yet! Even fits perfect in my Seido desk cradle and iGrip car mount kit.
Ok, so here's why I ask (I tried searching but I really couldn't find a similar thread here):
I have the white Evo LTE - I picked the white because I really like the way it looks with the silver.
DILEMMA: I like the slimness of the TPU cases, but I also like using a belt clip when I'm out and about.
Have any of you come across a belt clip that will work well with a TPU case, like the Cruzerlites, and be a good fit?
I was in the same boat as u. Ima fan of the tpu cases but wanted a nice holster so I bought this one.
http://www.cellphoneshop.net/evo4lhard.html
It came with a nice hard shell case but my evo and my tpu case fit in perfectly too so I keep using my tpu in the holster instead of the hard case.

Yeah I think if you get a holster that comes with a hard case or is designed to work with a case it will fit. My Seidio holster is compatible with a tpu case even though it came with a hard case.

You know, I didn't even really think of that. I wasn't sure a production clip would be compatible. Off to my local store to find one!
Hi all!
Has anyone come across a nice holster case without a kickstand? I'm not really concerned with price.. Willing to pay for a good case. I see that seidio makes a spring clip holster for the naked device but id like to have it in a case. I'd like it as thin as possible (no otterbox for me!). I have found a few holster cases but they all have a stupid bulky kickstand!
Thanks
Check out my thread on a nice case with holster.

The holster is great. Of course, the main point is the case. For 39.99 idk of it's worth just buying for the holster alone...

I got this holster combo basically got the holster itself. I had one for my og evo and s3 and never once broke on me. To me it is worth the $40, I just get a case I like that fits in the holster.

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.
