I have never liked otter boxes holster so while trying to figure out what to do with it I decided to turn it into a GPS mount. I bout a GPS mount for about $5 off amazon then just duct taped the holster onto it and bravo! You now got a cheap and easy galaxy s 3 car mount.

I thought about doing the same thing with the Seidio holster because I like the hinged clip it has but the holster itself is so expensive
Haha, never thought of that now i finally have a use for that massive holster
Trident Kraken AMS.... no huge holster and a window mount made for the case is sold for $15 I believe.

Same here...only one i've seen so far is the otterbox....but it's very bulky. I hope theres other option coming soon.
Yeah bought the otter box but I will be returning it. The case makes the phone too large. Also the clip holster is huge as well.
I bought the bodyglove case from att.com and picked up a universal bodyglove smartphone pouch this morning at walmart. Now my phone is protected and I can carry it on my belt.

You could probably find a good one for cheap on Ebay

I tried an Atrix 'thin' case from a mall kiosk today for $10 and was about to grab it until I found I couldn't really use the fingerprint scanner. It seemed that either the hole wasn't big enough or the material was too thick around the fingerprint reader.
I too am looking for a belt-clip case that swivels with no magnet for the Atrix.
write to seidioonline... they make great clips...
I'm using the feather case in a droid x plastic belt clip swivel holster. Works great! The holster is a lil taller than the phone tho. It worked great on my captivate as well. Would def. Recommend to anyone that wanted easy access to the phone asap

Why no magnet? Does that cause a problem?
Reason I ask is that I found a Duracell leather carrying case at the dollar store that has a magnetic closure in the flap. I figured I'd wait and get the protective case (probably a Body Glove Mirage or an Incipio Feather) first than then confirm that it fits in the Duracell case before buying it. It's a really nice looking belt-clip carrying case.
magnets are what causes it to go into the car docking app i believe, so it would cause it to launch whenever a magnet gets near it
I am using one from an old Samsung blackjack and it fits perfect. A lot cheaper than anything coming out also!
I bought a nice universal one for 30 from att fits perfectly and I can charge while its closed

Followup about the Duracell leather case. The Atrix naked will barely fit longwise. With a Body Glove Mirage case on the phone, the Duracell case is too tight.

I don't believe that is correct. AT&T sells an AGF Premium Leather Case for $39.99 (too pricey for me)
The description reads:
AGFs Premium Leather Pouch is made from beautifully crafted leather. This case is equipped with special sleeper magnets so that when your device is placed in the case, it automatically goes into sleep mode and helps preserve your battery life. AGFs Premium Leather Pouch also includes our 180-degree rotating belt clip, allowing for adjustable placement and maximum comfort. Our attractive magnetic flap, with a contrasting leather stripe, makes securing your phone amazingly simple. This pouch has all the utility you'd expect, paired with the style you want.

So apparently magnets don't make the phone activate the car docking app.

Not so fast. Apparently ATT just generalizes. Just check the problems everyone is having from this case from the reviews at ATT.

Yeah they really do. I absolutely love the clip for my Blackberry 9700. It was a shame they didn't have a solution for my Captivate (without using their case). Definitely hope they do something for the Atrix though!
Anyone know what hard case will work with a the car dock? I am looking at getting both for my atrix but i want to make sure that im not tossing money down the drain on either. I DONT want to take the case off everytime i use the car dock either. Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys.
As far as I know, the only cases that have been shown to work with the car dock are the scrapped project moto ruggedized case and the rearth ringke cases. Neither are hard cases though.
No hard cases will fit cardock

I should revise my previous statement. The ringke case fits as well as the incipio feather (hard case) was said to fit. It seats into the car dock, activates car mode, but the top clip doesn't sit in front of the screen.

This is mine.
I use the Body Glove Mirage case with the HD, Car, and Lap dock. There are inserts on all of them that need to be removed (or not installed in the case of the car dock). That is all it took. Sorry, I forgot to say, it isn't a hard case but it works for me.
I've been browsing Amazon and all of them seem to have their flaws. Can anyone recommend a good belt holster for the S3? I want to get one for my dad.

After some more research and googling this morning, I ended up buying the Seidio surface case and belt clip combo:
http://sf-planet.store.buy.com/p/se...combo-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/235516444.html
Got some good reviews on Amazon, and found this place to be the cheapest place to get it (free shipping, no tax).
Ive heard nothing but good things about seidio surface

I'm using a Tmobile branded belt holster/case combo.
$30 gets you a very smooth and skin tight back case that has a built-in stand and a easy clip, rotable belt holster
I like it very much so far.

i wanted that seidio holster as well but it was $30 so i settled for a reiko holder. i got it for $5 but now its $7. hurry and grab this if you want it in black. there arent much left. only complaint i have is that when i place the phone screen outward, the top release clip sometimes doesnt retract back all the way and it takes the plastic casing with it. but besides that, no complaints. adds a good 8th of an inch to the front of the phone so if you happen to drop it face down, it'll be safe for the most part. also the clip rotates, and idk if you got the part where the phone can be secured facing the front or back lol

Just got this for my GS3 and absolutely love the case. Bulk wise it is about the same as an otterbox defender but not quite as heavy. Extremely fast and easy to remove the outer skeleton and silicon cover and leave just the surface case on the phone. My otterbox broke the second time I removed it from my phone. Otterbox replaced it and i promptly returned it to best buy for a refund. I sent the broken one back to otterbox. The holsters belt clip is considerably larger than the otterbox. Good for me because I leave the holster on my toolbelt. The defenders holster would not clip over my toolbelt so it was useless to me. I originally bought the platinum surface case/holster combo from best buy so I have an extra surface case and holster to use. So far i recommend this case, will probably be the last case I buy for my GS3. Purchased from ebay for 32.00

I'm really want the Note 2 but how feasible is it to wear the phone on your belt? I know there are cases out there with a belt clip. I just wanted opinions and daily modes of operation. I carry my current Galaxy S2 either in my left pocket by itself or on my belt with a holster case. I would like to be able to do the same with the Note 2. Thanks.
I use an Otterbox Defender case (comes with a belt clip) that works pretty well for me. I never put my Note II in my shirt pocket -- for me, it's a bit heavy to do that, unless your shirt pockets have industrial-grade stitching!
Def otter box works great
My wife has the otterbox but she doesn't clip it on to her belt (she uses the holster as a screen cover). The otterbox makes the phone super huge and i would find it too cumbersome to wear on my hip. I have the seidio surface (best buy version) that I use the belt clip. I don't find it to be to big or cumbersome. But I must say that I only wear it this way with a shirt that covers it (a shirt that's not tucked in). When I wear a shirt and tie I use an OEM flip cover bumper cover mod that was featured in these forums and place it in my shirt pocket (it fits nicely) or the inside pocket of my suit
I also use the Otterbox Defender and find it's good with a couple of caveats:
1. You need a robust belt or it will flop around and also be difficult to release the phone from the clip; and
2. Since it's so big, wearing it under a jacket creates a noticeable bulge, and, depending on the type of jacket, may make it too tight around the waist.
So this case will fit the t889 tmobile model?
