I got the Defender on my phone right now....and honestly, I'm slowly killing it. The little plastic clips are breaking, and the charging port cover is half ripped....I need a new case. I really want it to come with a holster though.
Who else makes a solid case & holster for this phone?
I love the Seido Platinum case I bought when I first got the EVO. It's slim and durable. I'm a cable tech and the case still looks brand new, the holster has a gash in it but it's not noticeable. The only problem I do have with it is my phone tends to reboot if I don't position it correctly when I'm driving. The phone's power button gets pushed into the holster causing the thing to reboot.

I have the otterbox commuter case and the seidio active holster. You need to buy them separately but it's like they were made for each other. It's a good combo. I work construction and haven't had any problems.
That`s what i have, the otterbox commuter and the seidio holster both very durable and very strong, and it fits like a charm, go that direction and you wont be disappointed, you should get both for under 40 on ebay.
I've been happy with the one I bought at the Sprint store. It was only 30 came with holster. I use it daily, slim and great clip.

I have a Seidio Surface case and holster.
To be honest, I dont like it at all. I've had the seidio surface cases on my previous phones and loved them, but the issue with this one it that the buttons on the Evo 4G LTE's Surface case has raised buttons laying overtop of the real buttons on the phone rather than cutouts like the version for the Evo3D had. I am constantly rebooting or turning down the volume or whatever else.
The fix for seidio would be to have cutouts for the buttons instead of raised inserts. I would love to find one with cutouts instead.

Has anyone tried the Trident Kraken cases? They're $15 on Amazon and I was considering giving it a try.

I would highly recommend the Otterbox Commuter case...

You can find it cheaper on other sites. I put tried trident on my phone at a BB and wasn't happy with how the rubber was not tight, just like the Otterbox Defender case. But if you end up pulling the trigger, post a few pics as I possibly could have tried one that someone had returned.

Trident update
I've been using this case for about a week and a half overall impression is that it would definitely protect my phone if I dropped it. The Silicone sleeve fits a bit loose but once the outer case is on it's secure. The screen protector caught dust faster than any other one I've put on so I'm not using it. It bulks up the phone but that's the cost of the protection. It almost hides the Verizon tag on the front but would rather have all or none.

How much thickness does it add. Just can't deal with a thick phone.

It's just a little thinner than the trident. But I hate to say the rubber has gotten extremely loose. So much, I can pull it almost off on the bottom. I will post some pictures when I get a chance.

The Kraken adds about 75% to the thickness and just a few mils around the edges.
I have had the otter box cummunter case for over a year. It did get loose around the bottom.
Otter box has a great warranty. If you go to there website, you can file a claims witch will include 2 pictures. They will send you a new replacement case.
The cummunter is a little thinner other there defender case. I'm currently trying out the defender. They sent me the wrong case and told me to keep it and re-sent the commuter case.
If you do get a otter box case and its getts loose but don't want to use there great warranty. Then you can just put the rubber part in hot to boiling water for about a minute. Followed up with ice cold water. It will tighten the rubber right up.
I haven't had a trident case. They look like about the same size or slightly bigger then the defender.
The Kraken is only $10 on Amazon now I picked up a second one with a black sleeve and a mount so I can toss it on my bike to replace by bike computer. Everything has held up well and it takes falls well....
I saw this at Best Buy, it's kind of pricey but it fit super snug to the phone and added minimal bulk. I was about to buy it. What do you think? It has the magnetic kickstand and also comes with the belt holster.

I had this for my note 2 , love the feel and adds no bulk

The case isn't bad but to me its kind of expensive. I have it currently but I don't use the holster. The phone also sits up off the table with the bottom higher than the top because of the kick stand and that kind of bothers me but thats a personal annoyance =) I do love the feel of the Ez Grip texture though, feels nice, and really easy to clean.
I bought this case n holster and I only use the holster. The case for me is to slippery. I got an lg circle case from sprint and fits perfectly with this holster.
Sent from my Black Lg G3
I got this case when I bought the phone simply because it was the only one available at BB. Have been pleasantly surprised although I don't use the holster. The grip is quite tacky so I feel comfortable when holding with one hand, yet it fits in a pocket amazingly well. Feels smaller in my pocket than my GS3 did with the body glove drop suit case.

The Platinum from Best Buy is just a rebranded version of the Seidio. I got the Seidio and love it.
I love these cases. My last 4 phones used these cases . Saved my butt several times from dropping onto the ground and grandkid(s) abuse. Use with care , screen protectors have a tendency to lift on the sides when putting on or taking off this case.
,,.................peace Brian
Looks good. But it's too bulky for me. But thanks for sharing
I almost bought this, but have Amazon prime & knew I could wait 2 days. I bought 2 cases, 1 being a Folsom case (I think it's Folsum) & the other, same idea, not sure the brand, but the second one uses the rubber flaps like over charging port. I also bought a 10 pack of skins. Of course it's really a 3 pack as I won't be using purple, pink, yellow etc. I prefer the skins as I'm extremely careful with phone. I use no screen protector either. Only spent about $20 for the total of 12 cases. Good deal.

Anyone have any suggestions for the best case with holster (belt)?
Has anyone talked with Otterbox lately? are they going to make a case ?
I'm not an otter box fan, and I review cases as a hobby. If you want something like an otter box, but much better looking, less expensive and sturdy, try a SupCase Unicorn Beetle Pro.

It comes with a belt holster also.

I used a Seidio case and holster on my Note 3 and liked it so well I bought one for my Nexus 6.
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-SURFACE-Kickstand-Holster-Motorola/dp/B00S6T9YTK
I was initially using the Spiegen Ultra hybrid case with the Seidio Surface belt holster. And I wanted to get a bumper as well, so I opted for the Nillkin bumper in black/grey. Looks great, especially with my black CF and white leather M and such. Wireless charging with the orb is tricky if not sticky lol, but I have the good old reliable Nokia wireless pad at work and my TYLT charger on my nightstand. Both work. So my next mission was to find a belt holster similar to the Seidio Surface holster to fit the Nillkin bumper. The bumper actually is longer than the Spigen Ultra hybrid so the Seidio Surface holster was too narrow and short. So I got the Seidio Dilex holster. And the verdict is that it fit like a glove. I had doubts that it would fit the Nillkin bumper, but amazingly enough, it works! I tried finding with my google-fu if anyone else has tried it, but I couldn't find it in my searches. Anyways, here are the pics I took today.
^is this it, top looks diff? I might get one since I use the same bumper...

The Dilex holster holds huge cases. I have a Unicorn Beetle case, and I ordered the Dilex, it was way too big/loose. I purchased the Surface holster, and it fits nice and snug

There is different since the picture posted in the thread is made of the Nexus 6,die the audio jack, the link you posted is for the s5 and covers the audio jack on the Nexus 6 plus it's too short as well.
So I stumbled upon this case on Amazon when searching for either a nice leather or faux leather case for my S7, and I was sick of the only ones available being those portfolio cases that cover the front. All I wanted was a case that was either a tpu style, or one that reminds me of the Incipio Feather or Spigen Slim Fit where the phone just pops in but the tops/bottoms are exposed....well I found this Tscase brand case and this thing is honestly awesome.
http://www.amazon.com/TSCASE-Genuin...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
The leather feel on the back is really soft and smooth, and I chose the regular brown one instead of the netted, although the netted looks cool too.

the nice thing about this case is that it comes up over the corners, so the corners aren't so exposed. the top and bottom are exposed, yeah, but as you can see in the pics the corners are fine.
there's also a small lip around the screen so placing it screen down isn't an issue. plus, it pretty much hugs the sides, so i'm sure putting a screen protector that goes edge to edge wouldn't be an issue with this case.
overall, i'm so glad i found a cool leather case for this thing, and for a fraction of the cost of what the official samsung one is going to cost! i recommend this case if you like a thin, leather, good looking case!

Look nice... what screen protector are you using

the 10 dollar verizon branded ones. they're meh. don't mind the top corner by the ear piece lol...when i put it into gear VR one day it ripped it up and although i'm OCD and it bothers me, i'm way too lazy to put another one on.
plus within a week of having it on, i got a huge gash, so these screen protectors scratch easily. and obviously the sides have that effect because the glass curves.
overall, i only got them bc i needed them day one.
Can't find this in Amazon Canada? Other than Amazon US/UK, anyone know where I can pick one up?
hmm not sure. maybe they just aren't setup to ship in canada? it's a really nice case, though.
I bought the same case and I absolutely love it. I'm interested to see how well it holds up and how it weathers.

it's a great case. i just got the spigen crystal screen protector that wraps around the edges of the phone, and it fits perfectly with this case.
Being a holster user, and not someone who keeps my phone in a pocket, (work!)
each time I get a new phone I immediately purchase a PDair leather holster.
They are the lowest profile holster you can find.
Most holster use a big bulky plastic clip. Not these.
They come in 5 or 6 different colors.
I did a little comparisons of phone sizes on a few websites, and figured out the iPhone 7+ case works the best.
If you use the coupon code pdair at checkout, you can get it for $37.79 shipped.
Just received the case after about 2 weeks (from China).
Absolutely perfect.
High quality genuine leather, not some fake stuff.
The inside is coated in a soft foam, so works great with or without tempered screen protector.
There's a bottom cutout for speaker, charger, and headphone jack.
The bottom 2 pictures were taken with an iPhone, which is why they look worse. =)

I want something like that but without the clip, just like a sleeve I can put it in for when I chuck the phone in a bag, not found anything yet (in UK anwyay). Dont want some big expensive thing, just a basic sleeve I can put it in to keep it clean from dust and dirt in the bag and give some small protection to it.
Check out nutshell cases from New Zealand.
