This is a real quick review of the Nillkin TPU case and Hard case off of ebay
Search ebay for "NILLKIN TPU CASE FOR Samsung Galaxy Note" and there are a bunch that come up. They ship from Hong Kong.
One of the sellers sent me the TPU and Hard Case to check if they fit the At&t version and they fit great. They are $10-$12. I prefer the TPU because it creates a lip that covers the entire phone. The hard case doesn't cover the top and bottom.
There are little grips on the side that make it easier to hold and the material is rubberish and grips well. All of the holes align well.
Sorry no pictures as I am running out the door. Hope this helps anyone looking for a decent TPU case.
Took 5 days to ship and the quality is great. Wanted to offer my experience for anyone looking at it. The International Note forum really like this case as well.
I am not surprised that you hijacked this tread to plug your website. You have been going it all week.
Found the following horizontal belt case for the Note:

Since it was so inexpensive, I ordered one and am very happy with it. I have the Elago hard case on the back and the glass on glass screen saver on the front, and it still fits perfectly in the belt case. Although it's 'pleather', it's good quality and seems well built. Inside case is not cloth, but the material is soft and doesn't scratch the case or glass.
Just thought I'd throw this out for anyone else looking for a horizontal belt case as this is a good bargain for everyday use.
I looked through the threads and didn't see anyone having mentioned this case yet - sorry if it's a repeat!
I bought this for ~$8 shipped on ebay about 3 weeks before the Note came out on ATT - used it until Siedio dropped the Kickstand active 2 weeks ago.
The case was nice for $8 - but at the end the belt clip started to tear away....after 2 months of use.

Ah, I had a cheap pleather case that did that, the pleather peals away from the metal leaving just the metal clip behind?
Oh well.
found a perfect combination, the at&t candyshell case with a cheap clip, fits perfect, i been using it for a month, the only bad part is that it will scratch the rubber on the candyshell, but if you got it from at&t you can always replace it for free the first year, I find it to be heavy duty protection for now,
the candyshell can be found at at&t for 39.95 I believe and the clip is sold on ebay or amazon cheap, here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Rubberized-Holster-Samsung-Galaxy-GT-N7000/dp/B007L7PEAG/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
I had one of these but switched to the Seidio case.
The problem I had is I wear my phone on my left side, and entering & exiting my
car, the phone would pop out of the case. But, for the price, it wasn't a big
deal.
I never had it pop out, it's pretty tight
Let's talk about the Spigen Snap On Case today... For those of you looking to buy this beautifully marketed case I would rethink your decision, but let me tell you exactly why first.
I purchased the case for my gf about two weeks ago and when it came in the mail I was stunned by how nice it looked and felt. The backing is smooth but has a slight texture to it, the case felt sturdy, and just like in the name snapped right on the phone perfectly. The only thing that bothered me was that it didn't fully cover the top and bottom.
So here we are two weeks later and the case has only had to endure 3 slight drops from about knee to hip height...
It's cracked on two corners with the corner closest to the camera button almost ripped all the way off and the corner closest to the power button poking your ear when the phone is in use. I've never seen a case that cost me $15+ break so easily, it's flaw is in it's sturdyness which is what seemed so attractive when I first inspected it and also in the corners which are the ends to the case. I believe if it fully encased the phone it would have faired a lot better.
So there you have it folks. My suggestion? Go with a TPU case, tried and tested these cases look, feel, and work beautifully. My only regret is that i could have gotten 2 TPU cases for the price i got the Spigen Snap On Case for.
Had this case also. Break within two days. The thin plastic strip above the volume buttons. Went with Otter Box Commuter. Just got it yesterday but so far really like it. Smaller and more compact then the defender.
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:
http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-google-nexus-5-convert-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr4lgn5.htm
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.
