Has anybody tried one of these cases for the Note? It is a belt clip/kickstand holster. I was wondering if the belt clip is durable or if it feels really cheap or loose. Also curious if the phone will fit this case with the glas.t installed on the screen.

many users have brought this. Very good one. Build quality is not very high class but sturdy and maintains the phone well.
Thanks for the info. Trying to get a few accessories ordered ahead of time so when I get the phone I will have them already.
I have this case, here are a few pix,
I also have Moshi iVisor screen protector and no issue with case.
Stand/belt clip sturdy so far.
I have this case, too. Works as advertised. Very decent, especially for the price. I also have the Seidio Active Combo. Seidio is nicer. More of a Cadilac while this one is more of a Ford.
Yes But Minimal Protection

If you drop it top and bottom of the phone is vulnerable.:crying:
I've have this exact case that I've bought from Cellphoneshop.com for the same price(9.00) when I just bought my phone 2 months ago. I"m just waiting for the otterbox comes out!! ATT doesn't know when they will be released!!!
This will just be a case to tide me over until I get the seidio combo with holster.

The Otterbox's, both Defender and Commuter have been out for awhile now. Hit up eBay or the web. I love my Defender! Also, there are threads about these too. Don't buy from AT&T though... Priced too high.

Hey guys,
Been using my DNA for the past year without a case and finally cracked the screen. Needless to say, after I repair it I'll be getting a case.
My issue is, most of the cases I see for the DNA are either downright ugly, or add a lot of bulk to the phone. I love how slim it is without a case, but obviously, with my clumsy hands should get one for protection purposes.
So, what cases are you guys using?
I currently have a generic wannabe case. It's got a plastic snap on cover, then a rubber casing around that. It's similar to what I'm getting. I had a Seidio case for my Thunderbolt, and was pleased to find they make the same thing for the DNA. They call it "Dilex" now. But you can get it on Ebay for 10 bucks less than Amazon as the "Active" case. It has a two-piece plastic cover, then a rubber cover, then an exoskeleton. AND it has a kickstand. I loved my Tbolt kickstand. I had my Tbolt for 3 years and it stayed in outstanding condition using the Seidio. I'm definitely a repeat customer.
Here's Seidio's page about the case:
http://www.seidioonline.com/seidio-htc-droid-dna-dilex-s/8532.htm
On Amazon, the price varies from like 28 bucks to 35 depending on color.
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3HTDDAK-GR-DILEX-Metal-Kickstand/dp/B00B1N08MA
Here it is on Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seidio-Acti...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item485093fbbf
If you find a difference between the "Dilex", and "Active", feel free to educate me. I haven't found a difference yet. I just figured Active was the old name.

I have a red Seidio Active (silver kickstand) that I've had since the 3rd day after I got my DNA and it's great. My only complaint is it does feel a little thick and I only use the kickstand as a novelty. It can't reach the wireless charger when propped up and I don't need to charge it other than overnight when I'm sleeping. I had a UAG on my Galaxy S3 and I desperately wish they had a version for the DNA as it offered the same protection but wasn't quite as bulky. The Seidio is top quality though.
Otterbox commuter series, I've been using them for 4 years now and no broken phones or no cracked anythings
Hard thin shell on the outside with a nice durable silicon/rubber on the inside (better IMO that the defender series cases) cost is around 35-40$ however if it breaks (which is extremely unlikely) just take a pic of the broken case and they send you a new one no charge AFAIK
Never needed to get a replacement as these are solid quality cases can't go wrong with otterbox

I have been using the diztronic case for over a year and it doesn't add a lot of bulk its basically a tpu case but has a matte finish. I like it and I tried the otter box defender case but it was so bulky I went back. I think its one of the better cases if you want something without bulk but I would think the screen would crack if the phone took a direct hit on the screen. Though I haven't had any cracks with it after a year and I drop my phone every now and then.

This is not much help, but hopefully you can go another year "naked". I have no case on my phone and love it. My wife has an S4 with a case (I forget the brand, but it has the rubber and then the hard plastic over it), and I think her phone is bulky.
Coming from a Droid 2, 3, and 4, most anything smaller that a 2x4 is small but the DNA has spoiled me.
I have cracked screens with and without a case. Currently naked and love it!
I use an Incipio Dual Pro. I love it.
I use the seido surface. Its raised a little bit above the screen which makes me a little less worried if I drop it, although it's still not as protected as it would be with something like an otterbox. It doesn't add any bulk to the phone, and doesn't ruin the shape of the phone so it looks almost the same as it does with the case off. I would just use the phone naked but it just feels like it's going to slip right out of my hand when I do that.

I'm using the Seidio Surface too, I love the case, slim, doesn't add bulk, I have drop it a few times and screen still intact, plus the case has a polycarbonate feel, feel great on hand.
I use a otterbox defender and it is kind of bulky; but I am a metal roof salesman and use my phone extensively for work; pictures, pitch guage, ect... If my phone gets dropped on, or off, a roof it's chances of breaking are very high. I like the belt clip as well.
I use the Sedio Dilex with the built in kickstand. I miss my Thunderbolt, hahaha. Seriously solid case. :good:
FYI, you might find better/more info in the Accessories Forum..
Personally I am using the BodyGlove Dropsuit. It is inexpensive, thin, and seems to protect pretty well. I have dropped my DNA a few times, even once right on the corner on hard tile, and I don't have a scratch..

My last phone fell two stories to concrete and because of the otterbox defender it suffered no damage. If your job is not so dangerous I recommend the commuter series by otterbox. It is much slimmer and provides protection very well.

I use a Otterbox commuter, but now I switched to nothing since I really hate the feel of the bulkiness
Not a discussion about cases or anything, just wondering how everyone carries their Note 3 since it's such a bigger phone. Coming from the S4 I find the added wight and size almost too big for my pockets. During the week I have to use a belt clip holster as I'm a field tech for copiers and find it too large for my slacks. Feels funny to have such a large phone on belt clip but I have no choice. The S4 fit nicely, with no case, in my slacks front pockets.

I have the Zerolemon 10k battery & case with holster and it fits in my front pocket with no issue. I will admit when sitting down it is a little uncomfortable but standing up is no issue. When sitting down I usually rotate the clip 90° and clip it to my pocket.

Love that case also, nice and secure on the belt clip. But how do you get the case off the holster with one hand? Dose that top clip loosen up a bit after time? One reason I like the Seidio holsters. Currently using the Spigen bounce case and the Seidio holster for the Dilex case, which I also have also but the rubber is too soft.
Still working on the one hand release, get it about every 3rd time.

Honestly, I was an HTC fanatic and coming from the EVO 4G LTE to the Note 3 I must say wow!
The Note3 is big, but it feels secure unlike the EVO. The screen hasn't gotten Lil swirly marks like HTC's "gorilla glass". That's with using the Spen just begging to scratch the screen. I've had no trade embargo negative features from pending lawsuits. Also, no dead pixels or Google wallet breaking from factory resets. 3gb of RAM! This is multitasking with no custom tweaks enabled after months of tedious work.
Sorry about the rant. I wanted to see if this phone could hold up to a week or so of no case. I haven't dropped it yet, but despite being in pockets and etc. there are no screen scratches or blemishes of any kind. HTC pushes build quality yet this phone is so much better.
Anyways, I spent too much to get a case atm. Debating on otterbox but naked for now. Thanks for maybe reading my first post in a long while. U get thirsty out there in the desert looking for old jewels.
I use the Triton Kraken Case for mine. Was a HUGE Otterbox fan for a long time...well that's the past now. Best case ever!!

I've been thinking about getting the Kraken too. I particularly like that they have the window mount that just snaps onto the back and then onto the ball of the window mount. Perfect for in the car either running Nav, or streaming music..etc.
I ordered the i-Blason case from Amazon for my Note 3. It's silicone & a hard shell both at once. Soft silicone wrapped around the phone while the hard outer shell grips around the back like the facehugger from Aliens...from all sides.
It comes with a swivel clip belt holster that faces the screen so only the back is exposed to the world, but since the silicone is very soft & flexible, I don't use it because it's a pain to insert & remove in a hurry when the phone is ringing. I suppose it'd be all right if I had a bluetooth headset. But...no matter!
I carry it in my breast pocket in my jacket, currently. But when it gets warmer, I suppose I'll buy a bluetooth headset & put it in it's belt holster & clip that big 'ol monster to my waist.

Being I'm on the road all day, I use it everyday! The window mount is extremely well built too! Only thing that is annoying is you have to unclip the kickstand to use the window mount...but that's it. Otterbox drove me crazy with the rubber always stretching and deforming. They will replace it, but just drove me nuts. The Kraken, the rubber jacket is inside the case. Plus unlike the Otterbox, I really think I could drop my phone off a building and it would still be 100%. SOLID freaking case! It's worth every penny.
I use the Spigen Neo Hybrid case. It fits comfortably in my front suit jacket pocket.
Owned my N3 for a week and I only have it in my pocket which may change upon getting the zerolemon 10k mAh battery and I might use the clip with it. Probably not, but maybe lol. Fits perfectly into my pocket w/ no excess popping out.

I already have the Seidio spring clip holster for the naked Nexus 6. I really like Seidio products and so for the spring clip holster is what I expect from Seidio. I know there a little expensive but I also know that it will last a long time. I just ordered the Surface combo. I'll try and post some pix of the spring clip holster for the naked Nexus 6 later.

How did you get the holster so quickly? They only started taking orders two days ago on their website. I have to agree that Seidio products are top quality. If you wait a little bit, you can usually save a few bucks when they start Amazon fufillment.
Just the holster for the naked Nexus 6 started shipping on 1/09/15. Yeah!!! I really like there products. One thing I notice with this holster is that the back of the phone does touch the surface that you lay it on. There is noway to slide a piece of paper underneath it.
I took these pix really quick. There not that good.
pic 1
pic 2
pic 3
pic 4
pic 5

In pic #7 the phone is touching.
Anyone planning on trying the Dilex? Part of me wants to just cuz I've liked Seidio products in the past.
It probably won't help you, but I had the Dilex for the Nexus 5 and it was nice. I ordered the Surface combo because the power and volume buttons are not covered up by the case. I placed my order yesterday with the cheapest shipping so it should be here towards the end of the week. I really like either one because they are so easy to put on and off.
Interested to see pictures of the dilex. The pics on the website suck
i ordered the dilex pro with holster. should be here by next week. i had the dilex for the nexus 4 and nexus 5. really like there cases.
curious to check out the new dilex with the tpu instead of soft silicone. i know with the previous dilex it would stretch and get flabby after awhile.
although pricey looking forward to this case. will post pics when i get it.

This is what i was looking for...lol... Thanks.
Ordered my surface yesterday. Finally
just received my dilex pro today for my wife and myself. have attached some pictures. problem may be worth the headphone port. should of made it bigger. the stock charger causes a little bit of a bulge when charging on the case.
overall seems like a good case but expected better cutouts with the amount of time it took seidio to release this. especially on the headphone port. charging port is tolerable.
Thank you for the pictures.. Convinced me not to buy this case
It looks nice and protected, but also kinda plain. How are the buttons?
I just got the Surface with the holster. I will only use this setup at work. I do not like to use cases. Charger fits fine and wireless charger works (TYLT VÜ Wireless Charger). I don't use headphones, but it looks tight. The holster clip is much bigger on the Surface then the Naked holster. I use the holster only on the sun visor in the vehicles, so this bigger one will be nicer to use. The case does not sit flat, but it better then without the case. Overall the case is nice, so far and I really like the 2 piece case.......easy on easy off.
I am so bummed. Saw these online and thought they were perfect. But the kickstand bump out totally ruins it for me.

as for the buttons they are clicky. what i don't like is that there US only a small area to press on the power and volume buttons. with the tpu and hard Shell you are feeling just only the tip of the buttons. different from if you are touching the naked button.
as much as i hate to say it. seidio disappointed me this time and i will be sending it back. can't see myself using this case on a regular basis.
Just got my Seidio Surface today!
I've owned Seidio products for 5 of my last 8 phones and the only reason I didn't get their products for the other 3 was because they didn't make a case for those products. I have to say that Seidio is perhaps one of the best case makers I've ever come across and absolutely the best case/holster combo maker there is! I've not had a chance to use in in my daily routine yet, but I will tomorrow! I am a DM with Target Mobile and I have 3 phones that I carry with my most if not all of the time. I haven't had a Seidio case/holster combo for any of my current phones and having my main go to phone (Nexus 6) on my hip and not in my pocket will be a welcome change.
I'll follow up in the coming days and let you all know my impressions if you care to hear.

Do you have any other Nexus 6 cases to test with that Surface holster? If so, pics please?
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.)

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.

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.
