Is there a Rezound belt clip availlable that does not require the phone to be in a case? It would be a bonus for me if the screen faced forward, and so I could use the phone without removing the case.
I am trying to find something similar to the old Droid Incredible belt clip. It was easy to remove the phone from the clip, and while in the clip it could be used normally, and the clip acted as a partial case, and added some depth to the phone so it could be gripped with more confidence. I could even rest it on the clip part so that it acted almost like a 'kickstand'. Finally, the belt clip had a hole in it so that it could be easily slipped onto a peg on my car dashboard mount, making the whole process very simple. Only downside is that this made the clip a little weak and it broke on me a couple of times.
I would very much like to duplicate this experience with the Rezound, so much that I was thinking of trying to get something custom made.
Any tips?
This what I use daily, sorry though it is a face in. It is the only one I ever came across that the phone did not need to be in a case. And it can be used with Std or Exr. batteries.

interesting clip. Any problems with the rezound falling out of it? Might try it.
I did run across that one. It seems to be the least bad of all the ones I've seen, although the construction looks a little cheap from pictures.
Anyone ever consider '3D printing' a custom case/clip?
It is not bad, I have been using it for a few weeks now with no problems. I like that it will take a std or extended battery and work fine.
eh, I understand why they would push belt clip +case. I handle my rez with care, but I'd hate to slide it out of the clip only to drop it because of q quick mishandle/someone bumping into me. Just my .02

can that clip holster be used with any case? Looking at the tpu case for the extended battery (cut out).
I would say no... if the edges around the back are extended by a case it would not fit. The Std extended batteries add the bulk in the middle and not at the edges, which then allows it to fit in this holster.

Man, I have been looking for the exact same thing since November! I built a car holder using a Garmin mount and the belt holster for both my hTC Hero and hTC EVO, and want the same thing for my Rezound! Needs to be face out, though!

Innopocket Magnum Case
How does it handle in daily use?
Does it support an extended battery?
I'm using the Brando hardcase and it's been good, but after a couple of drops the corners of my BA are a little dinged up since there is no corner protection.
Thanks!

I am on my second one. The first broke within a month and was replaced by the dealer. The side clamps that hold the case closed are not well made. Even a small drop will cause the springs in the clamp to pop out or the entire clamp comes out. I have spent a lot of time searching around on the ground for all the pieces after the clamps falls apart. Sometimes the clamp comes loose for no reason. You will be walking and your PDA falls out of the case. I was told that I probably just had a faulty case and they sent me another one. The clamps look the same so I figure the same thing will happen. The aluminium case locks with a different mechanism and works much better.
I have a magnum
As far as cases go it's the bet i've owned. Better than the tinny metal ones. The only reason my BA works is thanks to this case.
I'd reccomend it
Since reveiving the second case I havn't had any problems. I think I just had a lemon the first time.
does this really protect the device in some cases of accident drop. Hows the the feel of the case?

Yes it really does protect the phone. I have dropped mine twice with this case and there was no damage to the phone at all. It did pop out of the case once though.
I have not had any issues with this case untill the threads on the post wore out and the case started falling due to that. I was not happy with the way they put the post on the cases. but it has lasted longer and functions better than any other case I have owned for my SX66 so I would buy another.
I have this case, but I prefer to use the original Siemens case, for the sole reason of ergonomics.
The Blue Angel is a sleek, sexy piece of art (all compacted into a phone), and to hide it in a bulky titanium case just doesn't seem right to me. Also, you cant use the touch screen and using the call/end and D-Pad buttons is a clumsy task with the innopocket case. I'd recommend getting a nice leather folder type case or an OEM style Siemens case.
However, the Innopocket case is GREAT when you use the phone as a GPS. Just attach the car mount to the back, and it protects the phone from hitting the windshield and dashboard while driving down a bumpy road.
I bought on eBay and I can't use it !
If I put my sx66 in the case it will push the button and other than that I can't close securely. I'm very dissapointed with the quality.
So please don't buy it !
I've had a few. Both the Titanium and Black Magnesium.
Also I've owned these for 4 different PDA models. After a few falls The Titanium will actually Dent in and itself leave a scratch on your PDA. The Magnesium doesn't dent in and is the one I currently use. The black case also compliments the silver PDA's color very well. Both will Pop open on a fall sometimes leaving your machine vulnerable. Serious Issue - I wish They would fix. All in all it is the most protective and stylish case available. You can recoup most of your lost functionality by assigning Voice Command to the record button. These are not like soft cases though. As you bump or drop your PDA around they will become damaged and inoperable and you will have to replace them.

omg Sorry but I have to say, I had palm IIIe, 2x palm 505, Tungsten E, qtek 1010, qtek 2020 and now BA which is qtek 9090 and last one is the more ugly than any of the pdas I owned before. Even the 2020 was piece of the art comparing to 9090
If you want to see sleek and sexy piece of art take a look at palm m505, that little guy gathered a lot of prizes for the design and thats for the reason, it looks like the some part of the porsche. BA is definitely not in that class.
They've added a section for the 8125/HTC Wizard!! FINALLY!
All they have at the moment is a swivel clip holster, but hopefully they'll have their windshield mounted cradles too, that's what i really want..
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=882
sweeeet... ive been looking for one of these for forever. i hate those leather cases that add bulk to the device, this just sits snugly holding your phone or on your waist. nice that it protects the screen too, just how i wanted it.
thanks!!
One issue
Let me know if you get one. I know the Verizon version of the wizard came with a holster like this one. Problem is, whenever I took it out of the holster the clip on top brushed against the MiniSD and it popped out like toast from a toaster. Hopefully this wont happen with this one.
Phillyjaq
I have one that I posted pictures of over at howardforums.com. It works fine. I havent had the "toaster" situation happen yet.
I just purchased this case. I was looking for a case that:
- was as thin as possible because the phone is already pretty thick
- was easy to access since the OEM case is so clunky
- had a flexible belt clip, i.e., opens and swivels. I found the static clip on the OEM case difficult to attach
- protected the screen from bumps and scratches
Here are the pluses:
+ clean, simple design
+ sturdy plastic with an excellent belt clip design. The clip is large and easy to use. It's built with a sturdy metal spring and can pivot. The pivot gives a nice solid click when it moves and can be adjusted vertically, horizontally or a couple of clicks in between.
+ easy to use two-handed. The top clip is spring-loaded and very secure. I have no concern that the phone will pop out of the case.
+ reasonable price $30. I originally wanted a slip case, but some of the leather ones out there were going for $50 bucks. Ouch!
And the minuses (in order of irritation):
- not easy to use one-handed. The problem is the location of the power switch and memory card on the phone. I find it too easy to bump the power switch with the top clip while I'm loading and unloading the phone. This creates some interesting results since it's also easy to hit other buttons on the way to and from the case. Also, I've had the phone glitch because the clip hit the memory card. This is a little scary because I don't want to ruin the card or the slot hardware.
- some flashing on the mold seam on the top clip. This was solved with some sandpaper. Not a big deal, but the flashing was sharp and I kept hitting it as I loaded and unloaded the phone.
Overall, I would rate the case as pretty good but not perfect. If I was less clumsy, maybe it would be a good one-handed case, but two-handed is okay for me. The size is right and the belt clip is great.
Sorry for the potentially silly question, but this should fit the MDA right?
yes mda fits but 30$ is redicilous..wait for them to be on ebay for 4.99 plus 1 penny shipping.. just like the car chargers

Just received mine yesterday from this eBay seller. Yes, it is the Seido brand. This clip is exactly what I was looking for. I was a little concerned about clipping in and out. I guess I missed it in one of the above posts, but the top bracket is hinged, which allows you to hold it up, place the phone in the bottom brackets and let the top bracket down to hold it in. I found it very easy to do one handed after about 5 minutes of playing with it. Very good product.....IMHO
I can't say I've yet mastered the one-handed insert and remove processes. I'm giving it a couple more days before I request a refund. Do you have any hints regarding how you manage to use this holster with just one hand? I also find the top clip regularly hits either the power button, the SD card, or both. Not an optimal design at all.
Thank you.

i had mine for 2 days now and LOVE it! I mastered the one hand in/out simply....
take out - i push the clip away with my index finger and use the rest of the hand to guide/retrieve the phone...
put back in - use my index finger to "hook" the clip and push it back while the rest of the hand slides the phone into the "full seated" position, then put the clip down and just run my hand along the edges fast to make sure everything i in tight....
hope this helps...
I bought the clip too, but it keeps ejecting my memory card!
one time i took it out with out looking and my memory card fell out.
luckly, nothing broke.
i'll need to redesign a few things.
Does anyone have any TyTN case suggestions? Something with a low profile so that it doesn't add to the pocket bulk, yet still allows the keyboard to slide out?

Great link Mike. Any recommendations? I'm looking for a case to fit into a bad/pocket rather than on my belt.
I started with the Shield Zone treatment... full body treatment. The top was fairly unprotected. There was a piece supplied that I believe was supposed to go there, but it didn't fit. Or at least I couldn't figure out how it fit. It's a decent solution for scratching and such, but not total protection. I can also see the edges of the applied material gathering lint, dust, etc. eventually becoming really grimey.
Also, the screen protector from Shield Zone sucks. It's too thick and nearly impossible to get a clear and clean application. It also has too much drag to comfortably use the stylus. Instead, I strongly suggest the Anti-glare from Boxwave instead. Used them on other PDAs and my Treo in the past. Much better quality, easily washable and reusable, very easy on the eyes and still easily usable with a stylus:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/easyfinder/buy-best-htc-tytn-accessories_2076.htm
Earlier this week, this case showed up:
http://pdaden.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&action=view&product_id=18122&substring=tytn
It definitely provides drop/bump/scratch protection. I may rip the flip screen off since I have the Boxwave on it. But overall, it doesn't add too much bulk, makes the phone easier to hold on to and even offers a degree of splash protection. I also don't care for clips, preferring to keep my phone in a front pocket.
This phone is huge! I feel like i'm smuggling a brick when i have it in the pocket. I can't believe there is not a cover out there being made that lets you clip it, but i still haven't found it.

I totally agree - I have not seen a simple belt clip yet so I'm waiting for seidio to make a spring clip swivel holster like i had for the 8125. http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=302
I've emailed Seidio and asked if/when availability for ther 8525 holster is coming and have not heard back yet. Maybe if others email them, they'll hurry the process. I'm sure they were waiting to see how popular the phone is before they commit to making it...
In the meantime, I'm using my old Treo 650 leather case, and it fits perfectly. It's just a bit bulky versus a lower profile clip and holster...

This case is the best design i have seen as it is the only one that opens without any removal. You clip on in 2 pieces, 1 on the front and 1 for back. The keyboard will open without having to remove anything, since its 2 seperate pieces.... Now if they could just add a clip to the back of that it is perfect.
Not sure I love the holster idea b/c you still have to unclip it, and i may not want it on the belt all the time. But it may be the best bet out there, that is if its out there!

not 100% complete cover, but enough to give you a piece of mind from minor scratches.

So twice now I've brought armband, once off Ebay and once off Cellphoneshop.net and neither of them fit. ebay one won't fit at all, the cellphoneshop.net one barely barely fit with no case on, but the cover don't really close properly and the headphone jack hole is on the wrong side!
Anyone know a good jogging armband with clear face cover that will fit the EVO 3D? preferably with a TPU case on.
Is so frustrating when seller advertise something as for our phone and its actually some generic crap!
I'll throw this out there in case it ends up working out for your. I used to try finding clear cases and arm bands but they never really worked very well and I ended up prefering the phone near my waist and running my headphones inside the back of my shirt.
It works great for my uses. I love it for jogging/working out/shooting around (basketball).
SPIbelt sells jogging belts, bands, etc.
http://www.spibelt.com/spibelt.php
http://store.spibelt.com/Waterresistantspibelt-p/7bl-a001-001-waterres.htm
It does not have a clear face. It's just a slim water resistant pouch/belt that you can order to fit your phone. I just specfied "pouch for HTC EVO" when I ordered mine.
Again it does not have a clear face and I wouldn't even say it's "easily accessible". But for holding your phone securely while being very active (I use it for jogging, lifting and shoot arounds) it is very secure. I strap it around my waist and you forget it's there.
Just thought I would throw it out.

Can you please let me know if the iarmbands one would work with a TPU case on? if it can then it would be perfect. as far as the headphone holes goes i'm not TOO concern, my headphones have very slim jack, and worse come to worse i can always enlarge the hole a little, as long as its in the right general location

Pics with the EVO 3D:
It fits a naked EVO 3D nicely, I'd say it would probably fit with a TPU case.
Got my case from iArmband today and I'mot impressed at all. The holes don't line up at all for the headphone jack, it's more of a generic size then specifically for the 3D and the arm strap is way too short.
Edit... So I received an email from iArmbands about my issues with this item. They apologized for the inconvenience and issued a full refund. They also told me to go ahead and keep the product as well...pretty outstanding customer service if you ask me.
Body Glove - Tactic Case for the HTC EVO 4G LTE
I saw 2 threads where people were going to try this case. If you purchased one would you recommend it? I did see them on ebay for $18.99 with free shipping.
I have a Body Glove for my Evo 4g and really like it.
I ordered one but it hasn't been released yet. They don't even have a picture posted on their site. I hope it lives up to expectations, as the pics I've seen are cool. Body Glove's cases are hit or miss, though.

Body glove has been a lot more miss than hit as of late for me tho. Anything from cheap cases that break after a couple days, scratching the phone, not fitting correctly or not locking and falling off to paint/clear coat rubbing off the first say.
Sadly, I wouldn't recommend body glove to anyone.

Got one with my phone Saturday. Fit is almost too good. Hard to remove without taking the plastic covers off the back with it. Also the cover scratches easy and is looking pretty old after just 4 days. I got the white one which was all they had available Saturday. Will be looking for a gel case soon. Buttons work alright though. No scratches on my phone from the case.

Thanks for that. I'm cancelling my order. Too much money to not be happy...
My Sprint store had the white ones on release day so I got one. Seems to work pretty good!
Sorry for the bump and double post, but I wanted to second that the body glove RIPS the top-back off of the phone when removed. Or it rips the bottom panel off the phone (worse!)
I like it, I just don't like removing it!
its really hard to take out and when you do it it will take your back cover out, i dont like this cover because it feels weak, i bought it @ sprint but already purchased a otterbox commuter to replace it,
I got this case at the Sprint store and have been pretty happy with it. The combination of the hard plastic outside and the silicone inside seems to offer a lot of protection, and there is a nice lip to protect the screen. All the holes seem to be in the right places and the buttons work well. The power button is a bit difficult to press, but I actually like this as it prevents it from being accidentally locked in my pocket (it only there were a way to disable the Sense ring lock).
It does make the phone noticeably bulkier, especially on the back where the case bulges out a bit (there is a 1mm gap between the phone and the case. Still, the overall package is no thicker than my naked HTC Hero. The added side thickness also means that the phone doesn't stand up as much when using the kickstand.
The store only had the white version, unfortunately, but since I was exchanging another case I didn't have much of a choice (it was that or the pink Otterbox Commuter).
I've removed it a couple of times and had no problems with the back cover coming off, but I was careful to follow the removal instructions (at least on the Sprint version, it comes with instructions telling you to remove it starting with the bottom corner next to the microphone, followed by the other bottom corner, following by sliding the top out). It fits the car dock well with the insert removed and with some minor adjustment of the foam pads.
I got the Body Glove from Sprint as well, and don't need it since I already had a case. It is the gray one. If anyone is interested in buying it at a discounted rate, it is never used and still has the original packaging. PM me if interested.

I got this case at the Sprint store and have been pretty happy with it. The combination of the hard plastic outside and the silicone inside seems to offer a lot of protection, and there is a nice lip to protect the screen.

Seems like a lot of people missed this when I read reviews. I myself missed it initially.
http://www.shopandroid.com/body-glove-tactic-case/4A123A11576A.htm has the black version of the case for $17 today (7/19/2012) as their deal of the day.
Does anyone know if there is a holster out there that will work with the Body Glove Tactic case? I recently got a case and holster combo from my local Sprint store and I didn't check to see if the holster would work with the Car Dock Sprint sales and the case was too big to fit in the car dock even with the insert removed. The Body Glove Tactic case works great in the Car Dock, but I would really like to have a holster for it.
Thanks in advance.

this case broke my first htc evo 4g lte, its why i had to use my replacement, when i took the case off, it fit so tight, that it took the back off too, tearing the plastic......DO NOT BUY , BUYER BEWARE...spend the extra money and get a real case
I love mine. I love the grip on it. However, trying to remove it is a huge hassle and sometimes it breaks the case partially. Otherwise it's great for the grip. Feels good when I play the Pokemans on my EVO.

I have one of these on my phone. It does scratch quite easy and takes the back off when you pull it off, but it does not scratch the phone or trap dirt and dust. other than scratching up i dont mind the case. I would much rather have that happen to the case than my phone.
