There's a few on eBay. I can see why a belt clip would be useful - small pockets would be one for starters. I personally would use one at work because our medical scrubs have very baggy pockets - my current phone has fallen out of them many many times - and I do not want this to happen to my SGNII when I finally get it (come on 32GB) - I wear an equally "unfashionable" belt bag (or "bum bag") UNDER my scrubs to carry the important things I need (wallet etc), many of us already use a belt clip which fits nicely over the cord that ties the scrubs. Others use a man bag - I think a belt clip looks better than this solution.
Some people will comment and say that they are unfashionable or out of date but sometimes people need things because they work for them. One of my friends at work has a SGNI and the number of times that he gets the comments "my god that looks like a 1980's phone" is more than I can remember (of course then he shows them the phone and shuts them well up!)
The second reason to use a belt mount would be that there is no way on earth you're going to get the SGNII out of a front pocket whilst sitting and I'd never put it in a rear pocket.
I've not found a slim solution yet, but give it time and I'm sure one will arrive - this phone seems to be even more popular than the SGNI (judging from what my local retailers have said) so once it hits the USA I'm sure case manufacturers will take some notice.

waterpfoof case for the s3

I know a lot of us has been looking for a waterproof shockproof dustproof snow proof case for our s3. Lifeproof has failed to deliver same goes for with otterbox, they are taking for ever. I found one that is available in a few hours. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enflux/agilis-series-premium-galaxy-s3-case check it out. And it is cheaper than otterbox.

100k in 52 hours yea i highly doubt it'll reach its goal. Best of luck though.

they should make a water proof case for a extended battery.

this looks like an excellent case... I would buy 2 units (for me and the wife) if they made it.... they should also consider the back to be thin to be compatible with wireless charging....

In my situation cautious yes. I work in a really dusty enviroment and I use the case only in the workplace. And I got my earlier Sony's screen broken because of no case in the workplace....
I don't use this case in my freetime. It's just too bulky to have in your pocket and phone is a little more difficult to use.
There's couple disadvantages in the case:
- you can't press the powerbutton on the rightside. It's blocked because the hinges of the case are on the right side.
- I have had problems with the voice. I need to take the phone out of the case when talking with someone because they can't hear almost at all for some reason. I have not researched do anyone else have this problem and can I do something for it
I have also a bike clip for the case. I have not tested it yet (I have some plans to use the phone as a cycling computer in the summer time).
I'm little struct between this or Griffin Survivor (I have them both). Griffin Survivor is much better in almost every way (belt clip in Griffin case is really good) if you don't need water proofness but it's much harder to put the phone to the case and take if off.

Got this case to use on my bike: http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5_bk
Edit: don't mind my sig, got a S3 now.

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries

Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.

FIX: Otterbox Silicone Stretching

I've had an Otterbox Defender for my S3 now for quite awhile. The silicone over the plastic shell always seems to stretch over time causing a loose fit. I know you can contact customer support and have a new case sent to you from Otterbox, but I figured there had to be something to tighten the silicone up. After browsing the web, I heard that if you boil the silicone for a few minutes in boiling water, it will tighten it up. I figured I'd give it a try and it actually did work, the case now fits like it did when it was new.

How long did you boil it? I stopped using my defender because of this issue

Boiled it for about 2 minutes. If your silicone is stretched too far though it won't go 100% back to normal. It will help though that's for sure!

Done this also. But immersed only for a minute. Then went to a cup full of cold water.
Dont use tongs when getting the case off the water as it will ruin the shape of the case. As the case is sensitive when its really hot.

I had two otterbox defender cases and got fed up with the stretching, so I looked around found Ballistic SX0932-M385 SG MAXX. I'm sort of a clean freak and take off the case it always keeps a tight fix.

Ballistics sg maxx is a great case. Best drop protection imo. With them big chunky corners it just bounces back at you lol. My wife had it on hers for awhile.

HAHA BUDDY!!!! Same thing here! I love my BodyGlove ToughSuit!!! Gray/White Version Here! I got sick and tired of the OtterBox Warranty claims, however this is the first device I've had the stretching issue with an OtterBox...

I also had the same issues, solved them (temporary) by heating up the rubber in a microwave. Well, the rubber still started to stretch again after some time, I contacted Otterbox and received a brand new Otterbox Defender which still looks very good. I´ve removed the screen protector though

Ive just stopped using my defender because of this reason, and I won't buy another one again because of it.......... thought they were supposed to be the best.......

Well, unfortunately there is hardly a similar case available which 1) offers some protection and 2) looks somehow decent and fancy enough the be used on a daily basis.
There are some similar chinese cases available which also offer a hard plastic shell and some rubber around...but look in my oppinion rather ugly than a regular Otterbox Defender.
Have a look at this one : http://www.amazon.de/yuba-RoboCase-...1367166500&sr=8-2&keywords=galaxy+s3+survivor
Since the support was kind enough to me, though I bought my case used in another board and didn´t receive a invoice, I may still consider to use other Otterbox Cases with other devices.

The stretching isn't the only flaw with these cases. The clips that hold the two plastic portions together also seem to break after awhile. Guess you can't complain too much when they send another free though.

How sturdy is the phone on that mount? And are you using that specific mount with the HTC One? Do you have a case on it.
I wonder if I should just order that or order something else from the RAM Mounts page directly

it's very sturdy. i ride at high speed over potholes and the phones has never fallen. if you upgrade your phone often, i would go this route as it will be compatible for almost any phone/case combo.
btw, if it helps, i also use the same mount on my scooter.

Interesting how you cut it out to fit the quadlock. I thought the cut was all the way through. So it's sticking to the inner part of the otterbox then?

any nexus 5 cases with a belt clip also?

hello i always have used otterbox defender cases on every phone i have had. becasue i like that they have a belt clip.. i never put my phones in my pockets.. so i wanted to kno of any nexus 5 cases that come with belt clip

I'm sure Seidio will have one soon. I plan on getting a Convert as soon as they're available. Get the slimness of a tpu case for everyday use, then slap on the extras for heavy duty protection when needed. Best of both worlds.

You really shouldn't put a phone on a belt clip...
Its kinda like blue jean shorts, strap-on sandles, and mullets. You. Just. Don't. Do it.

The Nexus 4 fit perfectly in the leather holster that BlackBerry released for the Z10. Based on the posted dimensions, I'm hoping that the Nexus 5 will fit in the holster for the Z30.
I may not be a huge fan of their phones but BlackBerry sure knows how to make a holster

Easy. Phones on belt clips are ridiculous. Anything that I mentioned should be avoided. All of them look ridiculous. Just ask your girlfriend or wife, they know. Besides, it's 2013 not 1999.

My wife uses an otterbox on her iphone. Granted, without the belt clip but as with most women she throws the phone in her purse.
I always either had a naked iphone with seidio spring clip holster or seidio surface + kickstand and holster.
Either way, I'm not worried about the next man so you do as you want, I'll keep doing the same.

dont listen to these ppl making fun of belt clips. i always have one and i always will. having my precious phone just sloshing around in my pocket with dust/lint/keys/whatever will NEVER happen. having said that, i have no idea whats wrong with Seidio. they are always so far behind everyone else with their cases/clips. N5 has been leaked for months. hell, i probably could have engineered one by now with the detailed specs that were leaked out (wish i had a damn 3d printer). hopefully soon...

Waiting for a belt clip that would fit the neo hybrid...

I have used Seidio holsters since the HTC Sensation. I have used the N4 Active holster for the N4 with bumper and works to this day. Pic attached.
I'll try it out on my existing Seidio N4 holsters and report back when I get my N5 in the coming weeks. Unless of course, someone beat me to it.
I use belt clips only for the work week. I work in the office and it's the best way to transport it, rather than pocket it. I have keys and such that will scratch anything, even GG3. I hate pocket lint on my phones. I hate it as much as you with the fanny pack lol.

Not sure if you are looking for a case that also had a belt clip but if you want a holster that clips on to your belt I just ordered this one.

I have a Seidio Surface case + holster for S3. Just did some eye-balling from my naked N4 in it. I believe a naked N5 will fit in it... perhaps not so snug. I have a Ringke Slim coming next week. That should be enough to fill the small gap, and protect the back of the phone from the holster clip.
