Hey everybody, just ordered a Reiko leather hipcase from Amazon, will be getting it Wednesday. I will be letting everyone know how the fit is too. Been searching for a good size hipcase that doesn't look cheap so hopefully this fits the bill.
Here's the link too in case anybody else is interested:

It says it's for the Droid X but I used phone arena's size it charts to compare our Galaxy Nexus to it and looks pretty close. Here's that site too in case anyone is interested:

cool. Keep us updated. Thinking of getting a case for outside the pocket this time around. Not sure though.

I love my Nexus One's pouch case that came bundled with the phone. I am not a big fan of adding skins and layers to my phone. I am just looking for a pouch case where it is protected when in my pocket. Anyone know where I can get something like that? It doesn't have to be an official case.
I got a HTC branded pouch case that fit my EVO perfectly from Sprint store. I believe it is 29.99 and if you have premier discount, it is ~$22. I love mine.
Are you looking for a simple form-fitting pleather pouch or something that protects it a bit more perhaps? I can't help you w/the first but I've heard the Lowepro Tasca 20 will fit the EVO, may not be an exact fit but it's made of neoprene and it looks pretty nice if you're gonna toss the phone in a bag at any point...
I've got one I've used for my iPod touch in the past, fits a bit loosely, I can confirm whether it fits the EVO alright tomorrow.
No something simple like you first said. I am okay with a simple pouch to just keep in my pocket. That Lowepro Tasca 20 seems decent. Basically the idea I am looking for.
Yeah, being from neoprene it's gonna be a bit thicker than something made out of a cheaper material but it also protects it a bit more... The top closes w/a simple metal clasp (again, that might add a bit more bulk than something w/o a clasp), I'll let ya know tomorrow how tight it is around the EVO. I hope UPS drops my EVO early!

Got a picture of this or a link?
I didn't see any pouches whatsoever at my store... Just hard cases and silicon skins, haven't seen it online either, I'd be interested in pics of it as well.

Stopped by my Sprint store yesterday and they were sold out. Sales guy actually told me they'll likely get new Evo's in before they get more of these leather cases in stock.
FYI I bought a leather case from verizon for the Droid, it fits the Evo 4g in nicely. But it's for coneecting to your belt. Maybe some Droid stuff will fit the Evo in?
try this maybe?

This is the HTC leather case w/belt clip from Sprint. Specifically for the EVO, I have it and it fits like a glove.

I just got it today. It's nice and snug. I like it.
Any other pouch suggestions? Or "socks" - my wife is in need of something for when she throws her Evo in her bag... The old ipod sock-type cases would be perfect..
I don't know about everyone else but I am satisfied with the body glove case and pretty much accepted that is probably about the best we will get any time soon (wish otterbox would show us some love) but what I really want is a leather holster/pouch type thing. I know Samsung has the sweet black horizontal holster with the Galaxy S logo on it but it is $40 and who knows when Samsung is going to pull their thumb out and start selling some accessories for their phones. I saw PDair's website and their leather cases look pretty nice and they are priced at $28. Just thought I'd share if anyone was in the same boat as me.
I'm new so I can't post links for whatever reason, but the website www pdair com (yes I know I left out the periods).
I agree to you that PDair's products are in high quality with reasonable prices.
The only thing that worries me is the magnetic clasps, I'm using an old Case Logic with magnets and they screw up the magnetometer.
I love my XOOM, but I am not a fan of cases. When I use it I want to hold the item, not a thick shell or rubber casing surrounding it. I recently purchased the Switcheasy TRIG case for ipad, but it wouldn't really stay closed since it was made before the XOOM came out. I just bought the Kroo Wrapper case instead, since it has the same design but uses velcro. If requested I can post pics of the Kroo case when it comes in next week. Anyone else come across any good sleeve/stand combo's that the XOOM would fit well in?
Link to Switcheasy TRIG case on Amazon (it was $40 when I bought it last month);

Link to Kroo Wrapper on Amazon;
http://www.amazon.com/Kroo-Wrapper-Case-quot-Tablets/dp/B004U872EU/
Please post pics of the case when it comes in, i have a leather folio that i use now. I feel the same way you do when i want to use the xoom i want to hold the item i bought instead of a case that adds considerable thickness.
it will probably be very similiar to the switcheasy, but hopefully will stay closed since it at least says its sized for the XOOM. i'll do some comparison pics when it comes in next week.
Kroo Case
The Kroo case came in and the pics are below. the case is much skinnier and doesn't look like a puffy jacket anymore. its also not shiny, and has a nice faux-leather look to it. the velcro is also better than the buttons in my eyes. this one is a keeper for me! below are some pics of both the new and old cases (first 4 are the new one, second 4 are the old).
I'd recommend this case for anyone who wants a case/stand that isn't also a sleeve;

Hi thanks for the pics... can't quite work out how the case works to "wrap" the xoom from your them... any chance of a few more just to show how it works?
Also struggling to find a UK/EU supplier
sent from my mz604
you live and learn ... at any rate you live
looks OK but nothing beats the versatility of the ZooGue case imo

if you are into cases maybe, i don't want something covering up this beauty
My phone is the Verizon Galaxy Nexus i515 and I've had the red Seidio cover for a long time. It came with a clip holster but the clip broke after 2 days. Got another holster and it broke again in 6 days. This was just from slight/small snags.
Basically I'm looking for something that can hold up against small snags. Also has all 3 combo (good rubber case/kickstand/clip holster).
This is something I'm looking for... only downside to this one is it doesn't come with a clip holsters. There's no indication, even on "what else user's bought after buying this", whether any clip holster will fit this particular brand. Link below...
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ94208-Hybrid-Kickstand-Samsung/dp/B008B5DUT4/ref=pd_sim_cps_2
I like the thickness of it and how it has small covers for the USB port and headphone jack. It also has the kickstand.
Does anybody have this particular one and have a clip holster with it? If you do, which one fits with this brand? If not, is there anything exactly like the link above with all 3 combo?
You could try the Trident Kraken A.M.S. case. It comes with a belt clip. Its around $20 on Amazon.

Glad I could help. I have their Aegis case for my GNex and I love it. The Blue looks awesome. And if you have any issues with it, Trident has awesome customer service.

Probably not. These are for stock only. I think I saw a Seidio case awhile back that had options to accommodate a bigger battery door. Seidio and Trident are my 2 preferred cases but I've never looked into one for bigger batteries cause I've never had an extended battery before.
You could type stuff like Trident Kraken case for extended battery. Same with Seidio.
Edit: here is a link to get you started...

I know you said you have a 2100 battery and this is for 3800. I just looked out up quick but I know there is one for your need.

Thanks for the help. I saw that one yesterday. I'd rather not have the huge 3500-3800 battery so I have been looking around for one and am not having much luck. I'll just keep looking. :good:
I don't know how the kraken is, but my wife and I both have Trident's Aegis cases for our Sprint Galaxy Nexi and they fit good, even with the 2100maH battery.
It looks like the Aegis isn't a holster case.

The Kraken case is really good. Its encasing my Gnex right now. Provides ultimate protection and with military grade screen protector. Only issue with it
Is that its a pain in the arse to take apart when I have to do battery pulls sometime when flashing ROMs. I have no complaint about the rest of it.

I think with a better wording for what you're looking for is making it harder to find one. I know some products require specific wording in the search in order for it to show up. I was hoping that link would get you somewhere. I'll help you look for something when I get home from work.
You could also start a thread, if you haven't yet, and see if anyone bought what you're looking for and can point you to where they got it from.
Are you looking for a similar combo like mine (kickstand, holster, hard/rubber casing)?

Thanks for the replies. I've got the Verizon holster and I like it but with this OEM extended battery and cover, its a real snug fit. In fact it's really too snug.

My carbon case. It comes with a two layer case with a really cool kickstand, a holster that can double as a stand, and I screen protector for under 15 bucks on amazon. I don't have a like but it's pretty easy to find

I find I am really missing having a kickstand which I had on my Galaxy Nexus case.
I've looked some but there doesn't seem to be much out there with a kickstand.
I tried buying a Cruzerlite but it never came in so I got a refund. I'm not really interested in trying the same brand again.
What cases have you seen available with a kickstand?
did you do a search on amazon..."nexus 5 kickstand"....there's a ton out there, just that too many of them look like they add too much bulk for my liking. honestly, i prefer the tpu cases...my last 2 phones had them and i couldn't tell you how many times i dropped them...i already have 2 cases but think i'm going to order this one...i kinda miss the kickstand as well
How about this?

I did not search Amazon on those keywords.
Tons to look at. Thanks.
If anyone has one they like, post up a link anyway.

This is what I'm using now for my black Nexus 5, fit & finish is fine, no huge gap on the bottom at the micro-usb & speaker/grill openings (unlike the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case)
It's a 2 piece design, the hard plastic w. the flip out kickstand can be removed. It is slim enough that I have no problems slipping it in and out of a canvas vertical belt pouch for extra protection when I'm outside, otherwise, it's in my coat or jacket pocket.
It isn't that much bulkier and looked rugged & sturdy enough for the N5 to survive a drop (no plans to find out either ....)

When I get the chance, I can update this with a few quick photos - seller is in Ohio & shipped free & fast, oversea sellers for less but with a longer wait, especially with holiday mail.
