Verizon Motorola DROID X Snap-In Belt Holster - Yes Its Real

Hey guys, i got this in a few days ago so I can verify it fits the MOTOROLA DROID X not the Samsung that the description says.
You can even tell by the part # that it is made for the DROID X. Why Verizon has it screwed up I dont know, but it is the ONLY face-in snap-in holster I have found.

Enjoy, I will post pics of it on my phone in a bit.

They have a better one that comes with a back shel also
It is called shell/holster combo for $30

I have the holster. It's a little flimsy and I'm probably going to replace it with the Seidio. As for the holster shell combo, it sucks. I had it for my incredible and it gets loose.

I like that better because it comes with the protective case, and its a clip on.

That's the one I had, it's made by Amzer. It doesn't protect the top of the device either. Mine fell out of the holster and dinged up the top of my phone.

I have this one and hope it loosens up over time. Right now, it takes two hands to get the phone out of the holster because it's so tight. It works great for me though, no worrying about the phone falling out of the holster.

I might have to get this one then, if its that tight.
I work at an auto parts store so im constantly moving around, brushing up against greasy things or crawling under people's cars so I need some protection for my phone. How is the quality of the case?
Also, does the case wrap around the front of the phone? I mean if I lay the phone face down will the screen touch or will the case protect it?

Yes, the case does wrap around the front enough to keep the glass off the counter when you lay it down. Both the shell and the hoster are rigid with a rubberized feel.
It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone like some cases I've looked at, so the phone is pocketable when you want to go without the holster.
I picked mine up in my Verizon store, so would recommend you stop at one and ask to see it on an X.

yea im going out tomorrow to buy that thing. it was exactly what I was looking for... I need a good screen protector too, as i usually have dirt and grime on my hands from dealing with car parts. I heard Vzw screen protectors suck and dont even cover the whole glass. Any recommendations?

Yes i have this holster. Just picked it up yesterday. And it seems secure and I liked the look and the feel of it in my hand. Just didn't like that it left the top of the phone exposed. In the holster its protected though. Its when you take it out it seems like it could possibly get dinged at the top of the phone if it fell. Otherwise it seems pretty cool. Im looking to see if someone comes out with a holster that includes complete coverage of the phone and holster combo. I think they didn't cover the top because the antenna is located there. Not sure but just a theory.

The screen protectors we talk about in this thread (the SGP Crystal Clear ones) are the best by far, and they also have the anti-fingerprint ones too.

I bought one from Amazon and it's "okay" to say the least i much prefer the one i got directly from T-mobile. but they are nice. but i work in the Automotive industry so i need something that i can put down on a tool box or a stainless steel top and not worry about it scratching up my battery door.
i guess it's like Epik for Blackberries.

I have the hard plastic case with the kickstand made on the back. I know they are expensive but i have a 14mth old daughter and it helps to keep her quite when we go out. put on Sponge Bob or similar put the phone out of reach and she is a quite as a church mouse.

i'm gonna pop for it. at 5 bucks flat its probably the best deal for the TPU style cases. since TPU i think requires like 4 dollar shipping so it comes out to like around 10 bucks. and i do like the 2 tone flat with gloss cause the flat parts are for grip.

This case is a must order...the pictures do not give it justice..i will post video in a little bit...

I just ordered one, what's your opinion on it?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

so far its pretty good. the styling is pretty god and the sides are dimpled gripping. the rear is flat black which makes it have a contrasted look with the flat and gloss. the power button is a bit hard to press but its not too ridiculous. though the one thing is normally when you plugged in your usb to charge you always got a noticeable click like it was fully setting into place. now because of the case you kinda have to jam it into the opening so it stays cause the case adds about 1-2 mm of fatness. most likely its cause of the size of the usb head. other than that i'm very pleased. comes from Pasadena, CA so if your in socal it'll come to you with-in a day. and for 5.10$ shipped you cant really get anything better.

Case recommendations ?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a case. I've has 2 Krusell cases, I like them, but they keep cracking. I also had the official one which I didn't really like - felt cheap.
Has anyone any recommendations? I'm thinking of the NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case. I want to still maintain the thin feel of the phone.

If I was you, I would go for the 's line' case from Ebay.
Why? It's cheap, very good build quality, protects the screen also and the most important for feature, grip at both sides.

Mine is starting to crack, fell out my hoodie pocket today about 1ft drop and the case has a crack on it. Also has another crack from when I dropped it at a house party but its barely noticeable.

case mate though, very, very good, i love it, and makes my mind rest, if my phone falls to the ground i will survive

I was looking at the case mates but they seem to be made of the same material as the Krusell, which cracked twice on me, also the fact that the camera cutout isn't entirely flush would be a bugbear for me.
Went into CPW at lunch to have a look, but they only had 2 cases! Hard to buy these things blind online.

original flip case ..Anyone found a solution for the cover ?

My original case (whick I think is brilliant but has a big manufacturing fault)is starting to fall apart at the edges as with most other users.I thought about applying super glue or tape but wanted to see if anyone was able to solve the problem before I begin experimenting.

Very true ,I wondered how the people who made such a good device can make such a bad cover for the case ,problem is it is very practical and does not add size ,I have the Zenus case also but I prefer the Samsung which is falling apart!

I bought a I would recommend going for a full body skin as the full body protectors give the same protection that a case does but without the added thickness.
My flip cover went through the same as yours, I superglued it but even then it kept coming off.
BTW... I went to the samsung store to see if they had the MHL adaptor, there was a galaxy note booth and the guy there wanted to ask me if I had any grievances...
Told him about the flip cover and the lack of gorilla glass (dont you get me started on that ) The guy later came home and collected my flip cover and said its being sent to samsung and i should hear a reply from them in 2 months... have NO idea what that was about... dont use it anyway so gave it to him...

Yeah, paid $45 for mine. It's cheap junk but a good idea.

Wouah.mine still good. Only a week yet. Too bad i like the flip case a lot!

At least this flip cover back is thick enough to protect the camera lens better than the stock thin battery cover which doesn't.
Woah~ got mines as a bonus w/ phone. Going on 2 wks old and still intact but the back cover pops out once a while. Not as annoying yet, however I already ordered my Zenus leather case.

And anyone looking for WHITE S-pen replacements, then ebay seller shimshop has some.

I thought I was one of the lucky ones also but unfortunately sooner our later the case goes bad.
I agree that Samsung should release a better version.

I have the Original flip cover too, and yes I Love it too. The edges are wearing, I thought by now someone would have made an aluminum flip case. Thought about ordering the aluminum battery case, but I want the front to be the same and work like the Original flip case.

Somehow leather products with "glued" edges do fall apart quite easily. Happens to ladies' handbags all the time!
As for how to fix it, the answer is simple: blanket stitching!

[Video Review] HTC One Double Dip Flip & Double Dip Hard Shell Review

Double Dip Flip Case Review
A lot of people overlooked the fact that the cover does come down over time. If you don't wanna wait you can just put the phone face down overnight.
Double Dip Hard Shell Review
Nice case but you could easily scratch your phone taking the One in and out of the case.
I'll be picking up an HTC One once it hits the USA so I'll do another more indepth review once I get it. Importing is just way too expensive...

I got the flip case free with my phone. It seems like the cover joints just needs a bit of loosening over time. Mine closes almost instantly now.
That being said I don't feel like it offers the best possible protection. Got my eyes open for a better case.

Thanks for the review ... :good:
suppose i´ll pick one up ...
THX :good:

The flip case looks great and the cover does come down over time, mine happened in about 2 days. The only problem i have with the case is that it doesnt offer full protection and during calls i have to occasiaonnly take the phone out of the case as the Mic hole doesn't line up with the phones Mic hole 100% :l

WARNING
I dropped my phone that was housed in the double dip case, the flap came open and landed face down resulting to scratches and dents to the speaker housing, gutted

I have both the hard shell case and the double dip case. I think they are both good cases, the double dip flip case doesn't really protect the full phone but is good for its stand. The hard shell case is a bit bulky and the colours are crap (why not one solid colour?) but it really gives complete protection... Other than the screen, which is ok because I think the lip is big enough to protect it from a drop...

I've ordered the flip case with the HTC free offer, but I feel like I won't be using it for long. I'll be looking for a better case while using the flip case as a temporary solution. I guess it would be very useful in the plane.

Thanks for backing me up bro. Also, to the OP: I'm going to be picking one up from VZW if it comes out. If not, I'll maybe use a TMo Prepaid plan with it.

I had the Flip case, but I got a refund on it as i didn't feel it protected the phone without being a hindrance. Also, nobody could hear me due to the microphone not lining up all the time. As it cost me £25 I felt it was not justified. I am going today to purchase the normal double dip case to try (non flip).
Wish me luck!

So is the consensus to keep this thing a safe distance from the phone at all times? I'm glad mine won't be costing me anything. I guess I should thank HTC, sort of?

This clearly not for drop protection, its too think in the back and little protection in the front. Not sure if that case is for me.

You may just wanna pick up a generic TPU or maybe something nicer from Diztronic or Cruzerlite. The i-Blason cases look high quality compared to their previous cases, but I'm not sure.

Why they didn't felt line thus case its beyond me. It slides onto an aluminum phone... Hard plastic... GREAT IDEA

Did anybody order the double dip hard shell from amazon. I seen a couple sellers from the uk it says it'll be shipped 18-26 days but when i put it in my cart it says i should receive it april 15. I just dont want to order it and dont get it until after the phone comes out. I also noticed a couple sellers from ny on amazon but i wasnt sure if the case was official or not. I dont see why it wouldnt be official tho since the case just came out.
