Get ready for great cases with kickstand and holsters, awesome!
i hope they have a car kit that fits the Droid 1 kit i had from them. the bottom suction is still stuck to my dash. i never took it off because i thought it might still fit the next one i bought.

I'm looking for a durable and strong case and holster combo. I work for a police department and need one for my duty belt that won't let the phone fall out if I'm involved in a foot chase, also needs to be strong in case I'm involved in a fight
What can you recommend?a lot of my coworkers have old droid and they have really good cases that come with strong holsters but they're unbranded

Very noble career if I must say so myself (I'm a 7-year law enforcement vet myself). I purchased a Shell/Holster Combo from cheapdroids.com yesterday. It's the closest thing that I've found to reasonible so far. I've seen similar OEM's on ebay for $50. I spoke to cust service there and they stated that the X only fits in the holster when the shell is attached to the back. This brings the total width of the phone to about even with the hump. I really only purchased it because I'm intending on replacing the ipod with this phone and wanted a good holster for jogging.
I'm guessing this isn't going to work for you though. There's no way that belt clip is going to be big enough or strong enough to stay on a duty belt. Personally I just carry the phone in my shirt pocket. It's slim enough where it's never going to be seen and I've already had to run with it in there; it's stays put.
I'd say the chances of it breaking in a scrap are just as good there as on your belt.
I too am a police officer and bought the stock case from verizon. I would not use it though on my duty belt. The case is strong enough and secure. But if you wear a 3" belt like I do then the clip is not going to actually fit around the bottom. It will only slide on.
IMO no holster is secure enough for working on the road. Brides I don't know about ur department but ours will not reimburse you over 100.00 for any personally owned equipment broken on the line of duty.
Having said that, take a look at sedio cases, they are about the most secure.

If Otterbox comes out with one, get that. A friend of mine has one of their cases and it's bulletproof. Luckily I don't work the road anymore, so my holster works just fine.
GOOD NEWS: otterbox just put up a coming soon for the DX. Although there has been one of those for the dinc for like 3 months. Can't wait to get it though.

For your requirements I would consider a skin from seidio (they are in development now) and then take the X to a leather worker and have a holster made. They will be able to ensure a solid fit and do the basket weave to blend with your service belt. That is if you are using the leather duty belt.
Went head and bought one that they sell at verizon wireless for $30
I\The shell only protects the back of the phone, and you put the screen facing inwards on the holster.
It works, it fits really tight so the phone is not going to fly out, however the spring clip feels kind of weak when attached to the duty belt, but if t\it was to fall off, nothing would happen to the phone as it is very rugged when in the holster.
Let us know how it holds up in a tussle. =)
But seriously be careful out there and thank you for your service.
First time poster...
Been looking for a case/holster also. GO TO BB, they have 3 EXCELLENT leather holsters for our Xs, 1 made by Eddie Bauer, $21, the other by HTC $31 and I forgot the 3rd. I went to Verizon and tried their origional X holdster and it looked too "bulky." Very disaponting. But those 3 cases I mentioned at BB, they fit very snug and perfectly. Im going for the HTC case later today and post pics up. Def worth the trip to BB. Oh, and the clip is very sturdy on all of them but def dont know if it will go over the utility belt...
Has anyone found one that works with the cardock? The Motorola dock that verizon sells has an insert that pulls out that allows you to put the phone in still in the case. However I checked both verizon and motorola's website and can't find a case that motorola says will work with the dock. I bought a case that covers the back and slides into the holster from verizon (probably the same one sp1kez bought), but when trying to put the phone in the dock after removing the insert it hits on a tab that looks like it was intentionally put there to only allow using an "official" case with the dock.
Does anyone know of a holster clip for the HTC Aria? I was selling a Blackberry Curve 8530 with a clip that has the front of the phone facing the clip, which ended up looking really cool, and I'd like one for the Aria. I've checked around places, and I have found no holster clips at all that aren't really just pouch cases.
Been looking for one myself for a while and finally came across this one:

Ordered, but haven't received it yet so I can't comment on quality...
The best holster I've found is one for a "classic" ipod. Do a little cutting to open the area up for the screen. It's cheap and easy. I can use the phone either in the case, or slide it out..

Looks to be the same as one I picked up @ wirelessground.com/htc-aria-accessories.html They actually have quite a few products for the aria.
Don't know anything about them as I just ordered the holster last night.
update on the holster - although not as nice as the seidio holsters I've used with my other phones, this one does the job nicely.
Thanks for the uodate. Can you leave it face-in with this holster, and if so how easily does the Aria eject from the clip? Alternatively, can you leave it face-out and answer calls without removing it at all?
Does not fit face-out.
Face in, it's a nice tight fit. Almost too tight.
Works well once you get used to it...
So ordered sat received Friday. Seems to be a nice holster. Fit is tight, felt is a nice touch, and it has a nice low profile.
For $12 I'm certainly not going to complain, and have no problem recommending it for those looking for a holster.

Unfortunately, this clip broke last week as I was scraping ice off of my car Windows, looks like its time to look for a more sturdy one.
cheap plastic, heck all rigid plastic does not handle freezing temperatures very well.
Just found this on eBay. It's not made by Otterbox but it is made specifically to fit the EVO while still in the Commuter case. I'm sure plenty of you are looking for something like this so here you go.

Nice find. If I hadn't all ready made my own, I would definitely buy this, I sill might anyway.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
That looks pretty cool. They also have a vent mount one instead of the windshield mount. I might pick one up also. I sure love the Commuter Case!
FYI this is the same seller where I got my car mount for my platinum case.
Here is a thread.

They hand form these so they don't look great or lined up perfectly. But they do work.
Just ordered my Innocase II for my eventual TB. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that they are shipping some of their products. Specifically the innocase II, slim extended battery and screen protectors
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/5448.htm
As an FYI I ordered my case from Amazon as it was 23 bucks versus 29 direct from Seidio.
-Lil'
looks good... gonna amazon or ebay it thanks!
thanks for the 411
Not a big jump in the battery, but probably worth it if the phone works out as it should!
Got my seidio battery my zagg and my external charger ready and waiting for thursday

Has anybody received the innocase II yet, how's the fit? I should be receiving my innocase II and holster today, hopefully before I leave for work.
edit: finally received my case, it's fits really snug and doesn't look bulky at all, seidio never disappoints

Really?? You apparently didn't have the POS they released for the OG Droid, lol. But I'll agree the case for the Thunderbolt is EXCELLENT. Fits really well, not too bulky and works great with the combo holster. The only thing I don't really like is that it's a bit 'slippery' compared to the naked phone.
Can someone that has the innocase 2 in hand snap a pic or two? I never trust company photos. Also, how is it sliding in and out of pockets? My current case sucks big time.

I'll snap some more pics tonight but the company photos are spot on. This is of the phone in the case on the ezeStand that I took for them to judge the fit:
https://picasaweb.google.com/mcalab...authkey=Gv1sRgCJK00N-dyqD4owE&feat=directlink
As you can see it adds a small blue lip all around the phone. It's a two piece "snap" design (two halves slide over the phone from the top and the bottom and snap/lock into place). It doesn't add much dimension, for my large hands it adds just enough to make the device very comfortable. At first I thought it was a little to 'slippery' but now that's it's worn in it's great. Much better than the POSs I dealt with for the OG Droid. Def worth the money (and I got the combo because I love their 'screen in' holster).
I ended up breaking down and ordering one earlier anyway. My current case is driving me nuts since it stick in my jeans pocket and my work shirt pocket every single time. Thanks though.
Does anyone have the proclip car mount for this phone and is using it with a case? My proclip order is on backorder. I'm kind of peeved with their customer service . . . for spending over $100 on a car mount I'd expect at least some halfway decent service. They don't answer their phone and ignore half my e-mails.
Anyyyyywho . . . I might like find a phone case this would work with. Any recommendations?
Sorry to hear you are having issues with them. I have dealt with them for years and they have been wonderful and responsive to my queries.
Expensive but the absolute best products.
I bought item# 875214 to hold my GNote with case or whatever as it is adjustable. The have a specific holder for Gnote but that would not accomodate a case, bumper what have you.
Hope this helps.

I have a Note with a case and already had the 875214 (for a Captivate with case). It does fit in width but with the thin tpu case I have it is floppy back and forth at the top. It is fine like it is since it is not going to fall out but I would like to find a way to tighten it up by narrowing the slot or find another Proclip adjustable clip that is made for thinner phones.
proclip.
I have a proclip with an adjustable holder. kind of an universal one. I think proclip is a great deal. will add pictures soon
If anyone is interested in taking a dremmel to their expensive Brodit holder, I got my i717 to fit with the Ringke Slim case by dremmeling the crap out of it. Still fits pretty snug without the case, too
