Anyone know of a good exercise case for the MT4G? I bike a lot and it would be great to find something I could strap to my handlebars, but I imagine an arm case would work too.
nevermind.

Im looking for a case for my TP2, I'd like something the griffin if possible, something compact that protects the outside from scratches and the screen ideally, not too bulky.
There only seem to be leather cases at the moment and the best of those seems to be the pielframa

nice case but id rather have something less bulky so that it can still fit in a jean/shirt pocket.
Anyone got any suggestions ?

Word of mouth seems to point towards Proporta. Check them out.
I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?

It will fit into the Maxpedition 5" Clip-On Phone / Radio Holster. It is a bit pricey and a bit rugged (so not so good with a smart suit or tux!) but it will hold your phone securely.
Junk the metal belt clip because it can pull out. Thread your belt through the 3 Molle straps horizontally or make a belt loop from a Maxpedition 3" Tactie (Google instructions on using Tacties) or a Malice clip. I use this holster for my Galaxy S2 with a Tactie and it's totally secure.
One point to consider is that the corners of the phone are exposed but I find that the phone cover protects those.

I was looking to buy one of these for my Lunada but wasn't sure if it would fit. Thanks for the info! Ordering it now.

Happy to help. Bear in mind that the 5" holster is really 5" tall and a Nexus is 5.33", so you'll have a little bit of phone protruding. Personally I think that's perfectly fine and gives you something to get hold of to pull the phone out, but I should probably have made that clear. The retaining strap is plenty long enough to accommodate the extra length.
I bought 2 of these for my SGS2 (black and khaki) and I love them. They're totally secure so long as you junk that crappy metal belt clip.
Please post back your opinion once you've tried yours.
Just received mine last week. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't have any 5" tac ties left to get it on my bag. Ordered those, should have them today sometime.
Overall I don't really have anything to complain about other than wishing I had a way for molle to be both secure and also easy to remove when I don't need it

I believe you only need a 3" Tactie.

Have you tried Malice clips? They're easier to thread and to undo providing you have a suitable tool handy. I personally don't like them because I find them big, clumsy and inflexible. They make horrid belt loops but they do hold stuff to a pack more tightly than a Tactie and won't ever come undone by accident.
If I don't mind something swinging about a bit I just fasten it with a carabiner. That's the ultimate quick-release Molle connector. :laugh:
Hey Folks, I've been lurking here for a few years now, starting back with trying to solve terrible battery issues with my Droid Incredible. I found a great community that is always here to help! I've never posted much, as almost all the answers I have ever needed have already been addressed. Just gotta use that search function.
I'm looking to start a new project, and I'm looking for input, help, and criticism. If I decide to go ahead with this, I am curious if anybody would be interested in having the process documented as an instructional thread.

My new phone is Galaxy S III. It's wonderful, but cumbersome to carry. I don't trust the continued flexion forces from being in my jeans pocket ( i cracked a screen less than a week into owning my first one, and since had it replaced (next time I'm just going to try the replacement...hopefully it doesn't happen again).
The only other option is a pouch/holster/belt case. There are a ton of them out there, but not what I want. It needs to fit my Trident Kraken. It needs to provide impact and crush protection, and not be made with a crummy belt clip that can break off, as my primary vehicle is a motorcycle. Also, easy to access is a must as I use my phone all day at work for music/podcasts and I'm on my feet running about.
Features:
Rigid - Able to withstand being worn on the hip inside a waistband/belt and worn on the belt traditionally. Current Materials being considered - delrin/kydex/various metals/leather. Input needed from a strength standpoint.
Slim - My phone is already in a Trident Kraken case.
Moisture barrier. Depending on materials/design used this could be irrelevant.
TL;DR - Want to see a sweet custom case made? Want to help? Reply.
With an "external" case on your belt, it is really obvious for other people where your telephone is. Snatchers are everywhere. How are you going to solve that problem with a holster case?
That's a great point, and one of the biggest reasons I am not thrilled about an external holster. A rigid slip case that can be stuck in my pocket or inside my waistband, hence the clip, would be ideal. I have decided on the clip I am going to use, as I have figured out a way to make it removable for a sleeker profile. As far as material, I'm going to use carbon fiber cloth and resin. I'm still researching. Does anybody have ideas for what to wrap around my phone/case for the liner when I apply the carbon fiber?

Put the phone in a ziplock bag, make sure it's vacuum and maybe make a cast of it for future messing around with it. I don't know if you have an air compressor you can use which has an option to suck air, that way it will be so vacuum you wont be able to open the bag normal anymore, just make a hole near the phone so the air snaps back in.
That is a great idea! I have access to shrink wrap bags, and seeing as you lose volume when duplicating via cast and molding, that would counteract it. I could then take that replica and safely work on it. A thin thermoforming plastic such as kydex could be the internal lining that I wrap in carbon fiber. I am hesitant to apply 400 degree plastic to my actual phone haha.

I can understand the importance of phone as well as their mobility with safety. Trident Kraken case which you are using now is fantastic but its a ungodly beast of a case. But it does offer peace of mind.
I suggest you to go for Commuter series available at phonecover.ca. As Commuter is slimmer case as compared, and it gives a very good protection. As It consists of several layers.
Does anyone with an OGP in a hybrid kickstand style case (or something of similar size), have a 3D printer?
I'm looking to get a 3D printing of the phone in the case, so I can make an attempt at producing one or possibly many high quality belt holsters for this phone.
I cannot just use my own phone and case as there would be high humidity and high pressure involved. A plastic printing would allow me to "bone" or mold the leather for a precise fit.
I'm tired of the run of the mill cheap quality cases that abound on Amazon. After a few months, they all seem to start to fall apart!!! My amazon case had the belt clip break off after about 3 months. It was an extremely thin piece of rusted metal inside a material that I don't even think was leather. The leather(?) belt loops are at the point of failure as I write this.
I'd like to make a real leather case, with a quality belt clip that won't accidentally fall off your belt. I'd also put on some belt loops for some added stability on the belt (if needed). I'd most likely use a pair of neodymium magnets for the closure.
I cannot get started on the project until I have a "replica" that I can start working around, and a 3D printing seems like it would be the most accurate.
So, if anyone can help me out it would be appreciated!!! Just let me know the cost involved in making the "replica", as I have no clue as to the costs of 3D printing materials.
FYI...I have many many years experience in making/tooling/carving leather gun holsters, wallets, handbags, sandals, etc...
Thanks,
Andy
I have the Diablo case from jkase as well as access to a makerbot that we use to make parts for things in our lab (or just to play ). I would be happy to help out, but the main time consuming part is constructing an accurate 3d model of the phone and case. I can see if I ever have a bit of time to put one together, but since I don't do that often, it will take a while (I made a case for my lgog that I had before getting the ogp and giving it to my wife). I had been hoping to make a front cover to attach to my Diablo case and embed a magnet in it so it would work as a folio case, so if a 3d model can be made, that would help that project too.
I know someone a while back had been wanting a model made of the phone so they could print a case, but I don't remember who. I'll look back through the threads and see if they had any luck.

Great! Thanks!
If only you had access to a scanner. That would make the data entry easy
Hi, Im searching for a good case for my shield, but I want something without magnets (autowakeup)... Im searching for a dual case (aluminum + soft silicon) but I havent found anything yet, if there arent any like these, something like a folder but without magnets would be great.
any advices?
