I am a new user (that didn't sound right...) and while scanning through this, and other HTC user (that sounded better) fora I have yet to come across a solid, business quality protective case for our Blackstone, other than those bulky leather flip-flops and or the silicone 'glove' protectors.
In the meanwhile I have compromised with a cheap leather pocket with a belt clip from an ebay seller, but I was (and still am) hoping to get my Blackstone into a serious, solid, presentable protective case like the ones that Griffin puts out for the iPhone series.

Can anyone shine any light on this quest? Griffin is not to release cases for our phones (heard it through the grapevine)...
I agree. Griffin cases are nice but not for our phone
If you're familiar with the Verizon iPhone case/holster, then you'll recognize this one. I ordered it because it was the only combo I could find. Sold on ebay by "oemcell". It fit's perfectly - rubbery feel. $22.95 worth it too.
I love the meaning of the case and I would get it but I dont like the design. I like the other design I had for my mesmerise Galaxy S. It was a much better feel and less cheap looking
Looks like Seidio has a case / holster combo that they are now selling. Site claims to be for the AT&T version, but I can't tell from the pictures if it covers the upper mic hole or not. Its kind of steep at $49, but this is what you need, check it out.
SEIDIO Surface Combo - Black
So I really like the pdair book style case (http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001131_11001398&products_id=35041), but I'm not really keen on spending that much for a case. I was wondering if anyone knew of other (cheaper), cases in the same style: specifically a case were the tab is inserted, as opposed to the case being clipped on (which seems to be most of the cases I've found).
Verizon sells a Belkin case that is pretty similar for $40. Someone posted some nice shots of his VZW tab in it, and I can confirm that the fit is excellent on my P6810--only issue being an extra cutout where there isn't an IR emitter on mine.
Ordered the pdair cases, as I already have one for my Note. The cases are very good quality leather and well made.
cool, I'll check out the belkin case. Thanks
i am using the attached gnarlyfish cash cost around $30
starting this because i know there are some of us out there who require such a case. Thought we could save each other some time and/or grief and report what's available, what's shipping, what ad hoc solutions we've found, etc.
here's what i've found so far:
i-blason: liked it on N5. ships nov. 25
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Kick...=1415220229&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
fosmon: never heard of them. looks like i-blason. ships dec. 1
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-STURDY...=1415220229&sr=8-7&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
cellbee: never heard of them either. looks similar to the generic belt cases sold at verizon typically. ships nov. 25
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P1F0AX6?psc=1
supcase: i'll throw this one in here because it claims to be a belt case, but i see no evidence of this from either the pics or the description. ships nov. 29
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-...=1415220229&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
apparently this one is now shipping. first one to ship i believe

Good thread! I just pulled for the Moko. Not only is it supposed to be here Wed, it's a bit cheaper. I use a Steelie in the car and I don't like having the magnet on the phone and in my pocket so instead of having two cases I will just put the Steelie mount on the belt case clip and use it while in the car. For day-to-day I'll use the Moko and not have to worry about switching cases. I hope this works with Qi too.
The Steelie works great in the car as a mount. For the Moto X 2013 I can leave the case with the magnet on and NFC tap-to-pay works. With the OnePlus One, the magnet works great and NFC works but tap-to-pay will not work with the magnet in place. That means if I want to tap-to-pay I have to use a case without the Steelie. I think this Moko arrangement will work a lot better since I won't have to keep changing cases.
Just ordered the case from amazon referred to above.. For 6 bucks, free shipping with prime, and expedited delivery, it's worth giving it a shot. Seems to come in two parts, a protective case plus a seperate belt clip holster for sliding the device in and out of.

from the pics it looks to have a belt clip... the only thing im not to fancy on is the built in screen protector and its added size... everything else looks good IMHO
Seidio Convert
This case is not available or even announced yet, but I'm guessing it's probably in the works right now. In my opinion, Seidio makes the most rugged case for Nexus phones, called the Convert, which comes with a holster/belt clip. I had one for my N4, which got stolen :crying:, and currently have it on my N5 (pic below). If Otterbox had made their Defender case for my Nexuses, I probably would have gotten that instead. The Convert has no built in screen protector and is kind of pricey, but has major protection.
Seidio Convert for Nexus 5:

seidio is mia. i ve emailed them a dozen times with nothing more than "we're looking into it". can't wait. got the moko case and it looks like a winner, esp for $2
I ordered the moko for 2 dolla. Mainly just for when I'm at work. I ordered a dbrand skin for the back too. Hopefully it won't interfere with the case fitting. If it does...the case was 2 dollars. Lol.
actually...that moko case is a damn fine case. looks like it will do everything i need it to do. of course, i don't have the fn nexus 6 yet to test it in the field, but it looks like it'll do the job just fine. best $2 case EVER...
I would love seidio to make a case for the nexus 6 but all I got was the generic response too. " we are looking in to it". Its too bad because I love their spring clip on their holsters. I looked into moko and unicorn beetle but didn't like the release of either if them. The spring clip from seidio is the best.
received the i-blason case today. i thought it was identical to the moko case but there are several key differences to note:
1. rubber section is far thicker and of a better quality than the moko. the moko was driving me crazy with the amount of dust it was attracting. this one is a much harder/more durable rubber. it's MUCH better
2. having said that, because its thicker, the buttons are a bit harder to press, particularly the power. works perfectly mind you, just takes a bit more effort to press
3. the hard shell is slicker than the moko. hopefully this will wear off soon as its fairly slippery as it stands now
4. the belt clip section is a clip in rather than a slide in. only got it tonight so i have yet to try it in the field. seems secure enough, though not as secure as the slide in of the moko. the advantage here though is i can take this out of the clip MUCH faster than the moko
5. if you have the moko, you can use this on the moko slide in belt clip if you prefer. i'm going to try the clip in holster for a bit to see how i like it
overall, a very solid alternative to the moko, particularly if you were getting annoyed by the cheap rubber collecting dirt
I got the SupCase Unicorn Beetle from amazon on sell for $12 taxes n shipped yesterday, actually received my nexus yesterday too. I got that price because the case wasn't out yet when I ordered it so it had them listed for $7.99 at the time.
So far I am very impressed with the quality. The built in screen protector is actually useful and doesn't hinder the screen at all. I did notice a bit of glare under certain lighting but nothing too annoying.
It does come with a belt clip and its a bit different from what I had on my note 2 but so far its functional and very sturdy product. Highly recommend.
well seidio finally has a nexus 6 page now. still coming soon and notify me crap, but its a start i guess

i really hope for a Seidio Dilex and holster combo!
Combination
I like to show off my Nexus and I have had too many bad experiences with belt clips with single clips. My combo is this Spigen case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I7UU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5 and this holster http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Holster-Pouch-Protector-Cover/dp/B00OX3Z89S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1419472114&sr=8-7&keywords=case+for+belt+nexus+6

Just ordered one. Cannot wait for it to arrive. I have had a UAG case on it since day one and I cannot take photos with the flash on. It leaves a smoky affect in the photos. How are photos with the flash on with the supcase?

Please, if you have any other cases laying around, let us know if the holster would work with the Surface holster. On past phones, I know I could get other cases (not all) to work with Surface and Dilex holsters. I have the Supcase hybrid case now. If Amazon were selling the holster, Id buy it in a heartbeat to test, because I know I could easily return it to Amazon.
I got my Unicorn Beetle Pro this past monday and I'm impressed with the quality. The only real complaint that I have about it is that they didnt flatten out the back of the case so that the phone lays flat on a table or something. Most annoying thing ever to lay your phone on the desk and try to do something on it only to have it start wobbling away.
crackberry.com has the seidio active case for 31.95, ships 1/22, use coupon code JB15 for 10% off NOTE. The cases and holsters are sold seperately, great if you just want the holster, or just the case.

I really liked Vaja cases but they have seemed to stop development for Samsung devices. Any other brands you guys would suggest? Need a simple, thin, genuine leather case. Something like the official Samsung case but I heard they might not be using real leather. Just a simple snapon case with no front cover. Open to suggestions!

Wow, EXACTLY what I was looking for. I looked at many brands like Lucrin but they dont have S20 Ultra cases ready yet. This is perfect. Price is right too! Thank you!
EDIT : hmm strange. I can see the add to compare and add to wishlist. But there is no add to cart?
I'm going for a Torro Case for mine. Had one on my P20 Pro, and it was great. Sadly, they didn't do them for the Mate 20 pro.

I was thinking of something like these. There seems to be a huge variety on amazon. I wanted. Thin leather but also magnetic and detachable. So I could slip it into Jean's..
I saw this...
Newseego Compatible with Galaxy S20 Ultra Leather Case, 2-in-1 Magnetic Detachable S20 Ultra Wallet Flip Case with Card Slots, 2-Way Viewing Stand Folio Cover for Samsung S20 Ultra 6.9" (2020), Brown https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083WHYJXL/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_lkqyEbKYW2FDV
There seem to be some much larger almost purse like ones like this.... DN-Technology Galaxy S20 Ultra PU Leather Premium Zipper Wallet Purse | Flip Case | Credit Card Holder | Magnetic Closure | Detachable Back Case Cover (Size - 6.9 Inch) (Brown) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084QBHLZB/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_AnqyEbM12Z5H5
I bought my s9 plus wallet case 10 months ago in India for £4. It's still in one piece really well made. so most of the leather cases are made quite cheaply in places like india
Thanks for the replies. In the end, I went with a Noreve case. Hasnt shipped yet though. They are also having a 16% sale for their anniversary but be wary, they had the same countdown timer when I ordered it end of Feb/beginning of March. The sale seems to be always on.
