Case with belt loop for X1?
I lost my mobile once because of a belt clip.
Since that time I prefer a case with a belt loop but unfortunately I coudn't find one for the X1.
Does anybody know of such a case?

There's a company called Waterfield (www.sfbags.com) that makes custom bags. I bought a suede slip cover for my ipod from them. I've been asking if they would be willing to make one for the X1 and they responded that if they had enough interest they might.
I have yet to find another place that makes a simple slip cover (I don't want a big case, I just want a soft cover to prevent scratches to the screen/lens). If anyone else is interested please let them know you're interested.
I'm going to try a Touch Pro case from them since it's only $9 and hope it fits, but they custom cut them to the exact phone specs and the Touch Pro is a few mm shorter. I'll let you know how it fits and if it fits.
EDIT: Funny you posted that today James, I received a second email from them too, so I've changed my order and am going to try it out as well.

It would be awesome if Waterfield made an Xperia case. I have a wallet and a case for my DS made by them and nothing else I've seen comes near to the quality and usefulness of them. I think I'll get in touch and put in another request for an Xperia case!
EDIT: Got a reply from Waterfield saying that their case for the Android phone will be a pretty good fit, though it would be 0.2" taller than the phone.

updated with covertec, nutshell, and a first picture of what could be the Noreve case...

I know there's photos of beyza cases on their official website. But thought some real life photos of Xperia in beyza case would be useful for those who are indecisive...

Which case is it exactly and how tight does it fit? Quality? Binding? Fast shipping to where you live?

PDair.com has a whole range of cases for the Xperia X1 now. You have a choice of booklet, flip-up, vertical slip-in, horizontal slip-in, crystal case.

X1 case
I got a PROTECH leather case for my X1. Originally designed for a nokia N85, the X1 fits like a glove. It's well made and very slim. No belt hook (thank God, coz they totally ruin your look). My only concern is the right, open side. It's exposed and the only thing securing the phone inside is a leather strap with a magnetic latch. Although the phone won't slide out, might be a problem if you accidentally drop it on the open side. Got it from Cellucom here in the UAE.

Pdair

So many write about this Pdair so i checked them out.
Visited their site.
What a shady establishment this Pdair...
Nowhere on their site they mention an address.
Nowhere they mention the name of a person.
Nowhere a phone number or even a fax.
It is not even possible to see from what jurisdiction they operate from and where they are registered.
If you do a whois of pdair.com you get a domain privacy service used to hide their address.
What do they have to hide? That they are a small shack in Quanxi, China?

Almost all of their products can be bought on Ebay for less then 5$, including shipping from Hong Kong. The tpu/silikon cases have a value of less then 2$, including shipping.

They are pretty old and established.
I have been buying their stuff for over 8 years.
Their stuff may be being ripped off.

I have bought from PDair for years. They ship fast and I received my items in NY, USA within 7 days, fast considering it's coming from China. In fact I just bought a case this past Christmas for my HTC EVO and my Galaxy Note, and they are a perfect fit, and well constructed. I used to use higher end cases such as Sena, but the PDair cases compete with the best of them. I would absolutely buy from PDair again in a heartbeat. I have no complaints.

In my country, or at least my city, PDAir products are sort of the higher class stuff in phone accessories stores in malls when it comes to leather cases. Never looked at their company how you did though. But I'm not saying I disagree. But their stuff do look nice and certainly feel durable. I was actually waiting for the nearby mall to restock on PDAirs for my Note.

It is a legit business and they do manufacture their own product.
They just do not want you to know they are in China I guess.
A lot of details about Pdair with photos of their manufacturing plant:

That might be the one I was thinking of. Can you post few pics? What is the inside made of? Is it soft material that goes against the screen?

Here are some photos of the PDair leather belt case.* The case is thin and is made of a nice soft leather.* The inside of the case also has a leather quality and is soft, so it should not scratch the Note.* The Galaxy Note with a TPU case fits nicely into the PDair belt case (the GNote is in the PDair case in the last photo). This leather case does have a small magnetic closure as shown. The magnet is small and the magnetic field is directed away from the inside of the case. I did some basic testing and found no significant magnetism within the case, so I seriously doubt it could affect the Wacom digitizer or anything else within the GNote. I have not experienced any issues.

Would you please post a picture of the cover "open, with the Note inside" ?
Why do they have to use magnets if they know we are sensitive about it and the manual says do not use magnetic covers?

Magnet is very low power. It does not affect the Note at all. I find the case to be top notch in every way. Very high quality product!

I have a PDair vertical holster case which I bought through Amazon. It took about 2 weeks to get here (US), but that was in December, and it was faster than Amazon promised. It's a high quality item (which it should be considering the price) and I like it very much.
-Uwe-

I do not doubt it is good quality, but I wish they would not use magnets.
We have a Geomagnetic Sensor in the phone.

legion1911, here you go. When using holster cases, I always face the glass toward my body, just in case I bump into something. The distance between the small magnet and the screen is on the order of 2 cm. Based on the size of the magnet and its position facing out, I would be really surprised if it had any effect on the GNote. I certainly see your point though. They should offer a Velcro solution as well.

I bought one of those too. I am eagerly waiting for the delivery of that one too! I chose a custom leather option, so they have to hand-build it on demand. At least I will probably have the only one around!
For now I have a cheap belt pouch made for a navman device. It is roomy and slim, but will not last many more months.

Clip has a sticky back.
Once u stick it , it won't move. I had to cut it out the first time becoz I placed on the wrong place.
@Taptalk-GalaxyNote

I liked this PDair book style one so much I bought another one in crocodile as well : ) Both have belt clips where you slide the unit on down into the belt clip and it "clicklocks" right in, when needed reach behind the unit with your thumb on top and pressing down pull out voila. Phone will rotate freely when in belt clip so if you happen to brush up against something it will move out the way. Flip the cover around the back for landscape viewing and adjust for optimum angle.

The very first time I used one of those it broke. I sat down in an armchair (not heavily) and the force against the bottom toward me (I think) just snapped the connection right off.
I only use metal ones now.

Interesting, since the very first time I sat down with it on, I have (intuitively it seems) moved the phone to the horizontal or landscape position before sitting.
I see now that that has been a wise thing to do. So far, so good, have had it for several months and still going strong. The clip is probably designed for your average dress belt thickness but so far I've worn it daily over a very thick gun belt which stretches the clip wider than it was probably designed to go but makes it even more secure as it won't budge without very considerable force to slide it over.

I got this one.

I had one for the Xperia Arc. It was nice, because of the extra safety of the second 'clip'.
After a while, I found the main clip started to tear off from the case, mainly from sitting in the car.
I do seem to give these cases a hard time, don't I?
I have opted for the 'nutshell' case in the hope that it will survive whatever I do to these poor cases:

I have not received it yet . Apparently they are still waiting for a sample to make it for. I am not sure how long I'll wait ....
If it saves my Note, it'll be well worth the money. I have another case that is OK, but has a metal frame so reduces the phone signal. If I can remove enough metal but leave it functional, I may drop the Nutshell for taking to damned long.

HTC One Genuine Leather Case

There are so many cases made of different material,such as we all know TPU,hard PC material,PU leather, and they of a comparative better price than the genuine leather case, yet as the most classical genuine leather, if there's a need to have a high price genuine leather case for our loved M7 mate...?

Whilst I can't make head nor tail of what your post actually says, I'm guessing you're looking for a leather slip pouch for the One?
If so, I would recommend waiting for Beyza to come out with their Slim Zero range for it. I have had this case for the One X for about 6 months and it's a beast. No other case has lasted so long. And in fact I'm using it on the One now until they bring out a proper fitting case
Martin

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271178805...WAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_650wt_689
This is what I'm considering

I am also looking for a genuine leather pouch for the One.
Just a heads up I bought the PU Leather version of that ebay link one and although it says it fits the One its not a perfect fit really, the top sticks out by about 5-6mm. Maybe the genuine leather in that one will stretch more. I've gone back to the S560 pouch I have for my One X which isn't a great fit either, too wide and loose.
What I really would like would be a genuine leather case like the meteor case that I have for the Sensation. It was a great quality pouch, soft leather, didn't add any bulk at all just like a tightly wrapped skin around the phone to protect it.

Like that, and I don't mind paying for something high quality.

Oh and the pull tab (which I don't like anyway) is made more annoying by the fact that its not elastic like the HTC one its just like thin seatbelt material, and second theres no magnet like the HTC one so the pull tab doesn't stick to the case it just flaps about. I only paid £2.90 so its not bothering me but its a simple case of you get what you pay for.

Cheers for the advice about the PU case. That ticks it off the list then. I'll post if I come across anything better looking

I found (and ordered) this leather case from an Etsy seller. It is expensive ($80) but I am hoping it's worth it. There are hidden magnets that keep the flap closed.
The seller's page is at: http://www.etsy.com/listing/125790273/ha41-hand-stitched-handmade-personalized
Apparently it takes 5-7 days to make and then ?? days to arrive from China. Hopefully it will be here close to delivery of my One! I'll post my comments on it after I get my hands on it...

I am also looking for a genuine leather pouch for the One.
Just a heads up I bought the PU Leather version of that ebay link one and although it says it fits the One its not a perfect fit really, the top sticks out by about 5-6mm. Maybe the genuine leather in that one will stretch more. I've gone back to the S560 pouch I have for my One X which isn't a great fit either, too wide and loose.
What I really would like would be a genuine leather case like the meteor case that I have for the Sensation. It was a great quality pouch, soft leather, didn't add any bulk at all just like a tightly wrapped skin around the phone to protect it.

No offense but I don't trust to a chinese seller and give 80 bucks for a case like that. Most likely it is not even genuine leather.

I'd search "hard graft phone cases". They have this stunning leather bi-folding case/wallet for the iphone 5. However the size is generous enough that it may accommodate the m7. They're based in the uk I believe. I actually just emailed them asking if the m7 would fit into this, or any of their cases, or even if they were planning on making cases for this phone. I'm considering getting one for myself, and I figured I'd inquire first.. as it'd be an expensive mistake.

who knows HOCO ? some guys mentioned their case and in my impression that all the hoco case are made of genuine leather,and esp. their name is something classic and vintage style such as duke series case,baron series etc, so far they launched a leather flip case and going to try it as my M7 comes if no one give them bad scores...

Those look very nice! Please post if/when you find out if the M7 will fit!

Genuine leather pouch is looks great. i found some of the leather pouches, but unfortunately they don't seems beautiful.

Just go on the PDAir site, they have several leather HTC one cases

I exchanged e-mails with someone at Hard Graft http://www.hardgraft.com/ about a leather case that would fit the HTC One, and he said:
Thanks for your message, we've got something on the way that fits your phone.
We'll keep you updated.

This appears to be the type of quality leather slip case that I am looking for, so I hope to hear back soon!

Ya, some cases ain't cheap, but to each their own. I have purchased a dozen or more crummy cases over the years for $15 - $25 that are all in a landfill now. I also bought a pricey leather case for my iPad a few years ago and it's still in use, looking better than ever.

Looks good, and cheap too for a handmade genuine leater case.
Hopefully someone has already some photos of it...

Recommended pouches?

Any recommended pouches for the HTC One? I am going to put a screen protector on it, but no case since it will ruin the look/feel of the aluminum. However, some extra protection from a pouch would be nice.

About to take the plunge and buy a fitbag. Another user posted some pics here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40001319&postcount=294
http://shop.fitbag.de/
Of course, the site is in German, so if you'll need a translator if you don't read German.

The HTC One X pouch fits okay, see here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-S650-Po...id=1366464893&sr=8-6&keywords=htc+one+x+pouch
Good price in the UK

If you search HTC One on Etsy.com, they have some really nice leather sleeves. Some are pricy but looks like its really worth it.

I ordered this a week ago, she lives in Latvia so shipping is going to be probably another week but worth it in my opinion - They're hand made and she said they are tight enough to prevent the device from falling out. She has switched to a darker felt than what's shown on the posting - heres a pic of the updated felt look like with a link below it for the HTC One

If you were referring to colors of that specific case it only comes in one of two felt colors. The lighter one showed on the HTC One order page (which you also have to specifically ask for) or the darker one in the pic. The color option you choose in the little accent band on the sides. I ordered blue which should be a short while after I get my One - I'll definitely post some pics of the phone in the case and what not!

Sena is bringing their Ultraslim Leather Pouch for the One in early May. I highly advise that you wait for it.

Oh okay I see. Thanks for the clarifying :good:

Im going with Spigen

I ordered a blue alcantara pouch w/ microfiber lining from fitbag.de about a week and a half ago, can post pics when it shows up if anyone's interested. Went with a pouch because I'd rather not mar the appearance of the phone itself with a screen protector/snap-on case.

Please do.

Nice Pouch, but will it fit?
Just realised I probably put this in the wrong section first time around so posting here too:
Love this case but worried that the One won't fit in it
KAVAJ leather case cover "Miami" for the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 S III cognac brown - sorry, can't post links yet, but it's on the amazon UK site

It's obviously made for the SG3 which is (according to PhoneArena's Size Comparison tool) 0.8mm shorter, 2.4mm wider and 0.7mm thinner.
What do you guys reckon?

Ordered a fitbag last year for my One X, great pouches. Just need to have a translator and be patient as it takes a little while to be delivered.

(Only joking - each to their own. I just ordered one of the felt ones above so I guess that makes me a yoghurt-knitter.)

Just follow the link. All info and way to order is on the site. I was thinking about the practicality of the pouch, and was wondering how annoying it would be to remove the One from the pouch every couple minutes when your texting or something like that. Might be somewhat of a hassle.

this is the one i ordered. Its on the way from hong kong right now. Im planning on using it with a nillken case, possibly a spigen if i decide to buy it in future.
currently using a kld enland flip case.
