best leather holster

going to look for a leather holster for my phone, I think. don't like cases much, like holding only the phone in my hand when i'm using it. anyone have a good one?
one option with removable plastic clip (downside is losing the clip); not sure I like the light tan inside:

a bunch of other leather cases on sale here, probably the best prices you'll find; can't be sure of the quality though.
A couple nice ones, I like the vertical one (nice and small) but I need a belt clip for work, wish you could combine the two. both are a little pricey.

I posted this over in a another thread but I bought a Eddie Bauer holster from Best Buy and it fits great. However you cant use a case, hard or gel on it. Reading what you posted you dont use one anyway. Good Luck

Holster
I'm still on the hunt for a leather holster too. My problem is I'm using a Seido Innocase like the one below for everyday wear on a seido belt clip holster, but need a leather holster for tougher environments so I'm hoping to find a case that will accommodate the increased dimensions of the seido case:
I like the Cellet Bergamo mentioned above but not sure if it'll fit.
I also like the selection at fommydotcom (sorry, as a new user i'm not auth to provide links)
Does anyone have insight into any of these holsters? Thanks.

Ringke Case review

Well I got sick of the added bulk/weight of my verizon dual case looking around on ebay I found this Ringke case. It's a silicone case, not too much added protection if it were dropped but just for daily use it's good enough. It definitely improves the power button feel, barely even have to touch it. Fit's nice and snug on the phone adds almost nothing to it. It isn't like most silicone cases collecting lint/getting stuck in your pocket it's a different material never seen it on a phone case before Only real complaint is with after market chargers the rubber kind of gets in the way but other then that I have zero complaints about it. For the price I think it was a decent deal.
just figured there might be others out there not sure about it, like I was and give a little insight on it.
16.00 shipped
Ringke Case
if really wanted I could get pictures of mine on the phone.

I'll post a video review in a couple days. If your looking for a case which add very little bulk to the phone this is it. High quality silicone which doesn't pick up lint, dust or dirt.

agreed thanks for the pics. only camera I have available atm is my Tbolt lol. I also took this thing with me mudding, was full of everything under the sun, came home threw it in the sink and looks new again, my last two cases stained and looked like crap.

I'm case shopping. Less is more

My Xoom came with a Cyber Acoustics leather case. It has a lot of advantages, is very well made, but I would like something that simply protects the case and allows me to use the HD audio dock, without removing it. Access to all the ports and the power button is an obvious "must have". Grippy back surface would be a plus. I was looking at the Body Glove Phantom, but they don't seem to be available any more. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I have an Incipio shell. Works very well.

I went to look at the Incipio cases. They have at least 3 made for the xoom. One described as the kickstand case, one called feather ultralight hardshell, and one called Silicrylic. It never can be easy can it?

Heh. I have the red Featherlight.

If less is more, there is always the gel case. All ports (apart from SD card slot I think) are open.

Thanks Kenny,
I bought the featherlight and it's just what i was looking for...well made, secure fit, not cluttered with features that just add bulk.

Yeah, I must have bought 5 or 6 Xoom cases in the time I've had it, and this one is the one I've settled with (I'd better buy a spare while I still can, come to think of it).
What I use when carrying it around is this case, which has a pouch that I keep a small BT keyboard in, as well as my USB OTG cable and a cleaning cloth.

Yust use the gel case

My little review on the "Beyond Cell" "Duo shield" Samsung Galaxy S3 case.

My little review on the "Beyond Cell" "Duo shield" Samsung Galaxy S3 case.
after getting my s3, i like everyone else started looking for cases.
I couldn't justify spending $40+ on a case ( i know its not much ) but for me, i could essentially vacuum formed ABS around it & then painted that with 1 can of plastidip & had a case as good, if not stronger then a otter-box defender
so i went perusing the beautiful internets of china & saw some cases that were around $10-$20 . i saw a few, but it seemed like all where the same but the sellers were just inflating the prices.
so i decided i also wanted a kickstand, so what i wanted was:
kick stand,
hard-case
soft gel case to go over hardcase
So enter the Beyond Cell DUo Shield.
it cost me about $13 shipped & i surprisingly received it about 5 days after ordering.
I have dropped this thing 3 times on purpose from about waist height. & 2 on accident (it was on my lap when i got out of my car) & all is well still no cracks or breaks...etc.
the rubber sleeve has nubs on the inside of it, that press the buttons, so you don't have the hard dead feeling like with hard buttons. all the ports are accessible, 1 little issue i have with it, is i dont like how it emcpompases the LED, speaker & camera...but those are aesthetic issues.
pics are below.
I will get the pics of the phone in the case when i get my Nexus 7 from work since i cant take a pic of the phone in the case with the phone...lol

Car Dock?

I'm looking to find a Dock that I can use in the car. Unfortunately I have not used one since my old D1 days, and am way out of the loop as to what the good ones are. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I use this one.

i wish these case making companies would make mounts too.
i don't want to use a poorly made, time consuming universal grip on my phone because it has a case on it.
recently bought a mountek universal based on high reviews and testimonials. seriously though, that product is a joke. the grip is not strong and the mount has an inherent design flaw... it is designed to literally seperate by putting pressure between a cd slot or dash seems and the screw to make it tight WILL jack up what you are putting it in. i returned it.
otterbox cant make a mount that fits its line of cases? i have a commuter case and i wish there was a specific mount for it
i have a couple ideas to get one, but it would cost me several hundred dollars and lots of time.

Bought the Original HTC Car Dock from HTC, bit pricier than i would like ( almost 35 from amazon.de) but i have to say that its great. The fact that the recharge cable is attached to the dock and charges every time you put them in the case is really practical.

I like this. And the fact that it would support my case is even better.
