I've got a leather belt pouch and after 3 weeks the belt loop tear away.
So I'm looking for:
heavy duty horizontal belt pouch (nylon or leather)
Belt loop as far I don't like belt clip
Magnetic enclosure ( quieter than velcro)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dan
Dickies makes one that might fit the bill. It's probably going to have a velcro closure though. Heavyweight nylon build, and one of the few pouch styles that fits an oversized screen.

I bought this one from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Leath..._1_11?s=mobile&ie=UTF8&qid=1348684194&sr=1-11
Gets the job done. It has a clip and belt loops and a solid magnetic enclosure. I use it along with a Dizitronic case on my Nexus and its a nice, snug fit. Its generic but doesn't look cheap either. For $5, hard to beat.

Hey,
Does anyone know of a case that is big enough to comfortably hold a Vibrant in a t-mobile gel skin. The phone is so light and fragile w/o the gel skin, but I would really like to have a holster to carry it on my belt. Anyone know of a case thats might work for that purpose?
Thanks!
I actually have the T-mobile gel case and purchased the leather swivel hip case for the moto cliq from t-mobile. with a little bit of stretching they both fit perfectly. Not to much work to pull it out or slide in. Try this out. They have 2 cases at t-mobile. find the one with the magnetic button and not the concealed magnet. Good luck!
I found a horizontal Rocketfish leather holster that is a perfect fit for the Vibrant with an average thickness gel skin at Best Buy. Not too snug, not too lose; feels like it was made for the phone.
I can't find a link to it on their website but it was a universal case and, suprisingly, very well constructed with soft black leather.
It has a swivel clip but it lays flat against the case so the phone doesn't protrude far from your waist.
I bought a leather holster that's made for the EVO from a Sprint store. It fits great with the tmo gel skin on it.

I got the same one. A few days of pushing my phone in the case it fits perfect.
The best fitting case is the leather holster sold by Verizon for the Droid X. It is a perfect fit with the T-Mobile gel skin.

I wanted a horizontal carry case that fits my phone + TPU case on days when I don't have a pocket in my jacket because I don't like having it in my pants pocket.
Look
The case is a big. Certainly adds to the dimension of an already sizable phone. I doubt it's genuine leather at this price, but the material seems nice and the case feels well-made. The magnetic flip cover also works well.
Functions
The leather case fits my t989+diztronic case snugly. There is some tension provided by the elastic sides to hold the t989 snugly in the case but not so tight that you cannot take the phone+case out. Further more, there is a cut-out on the bottom of the leather case that allows you to push the phone out.
Headphone port is accessible. None of the other buttons / USB port is accessible while the phone is in the leather case.
There is a clip on the black in addition to a belt loop. Either clip on to your pants, or use a belt with the leather case.
Conclusion
I like it for the build quality and look. It's just a bit big so I am not going to use it if I have a pocket in my jacket to hold the phone. On days that I have no pockets though, the case will be very useful.
This case looks promising. I ordered one for myself in hope that my mugen extended battery will fit. Any thoughts, will it fit smoothly or will I have difficulties?

Does your phone with extended battery fit in this case?

That was a Diztronic TPU case.
Just made the jump from S2 to S3. I have the QCell extended battery and TPU case. Anyone know of a belt/horizontal leather case that will hold this monster?
I'll be checking this thread. I don't have an extended battery but I have the Otter Box Commuter on mine. Would like to find a nice belt case. I still can't get used to putting it in my pocket.

Look for a luximo case.. I am not sure it can hold an otterbox, but it has stretching sides and is larger than most belt cases. It worked well for me. I found mine on ebay, but I have seen it on amazon as well. A simple search for S3 and luximo should find it.
Luxmo
I have the Luxmo horizontal case myself (with magnetic front flap, two-belt-loop and one clip on back). It works reasonably well.
I have a cheap no-name hard-shell case on the SG3 (which I now use without the original accompanying holster because the holster grip got loose and the SG3 slipped out and fell to the ground twice; but that's a separate topic).
Although the SG3+hard case fits the Luxmo case, putting in and taking out is a two-handed operation as the phone doesn't "slide" in/out easily. This is due to the Luxmo's side elastics catching on the USB port or headphone jack opening of the hard case. Perhaps a more "slippery" TPU case or smooth plastic case would work better.
But the SG3+hard case does fit inside the Luxmo snuggly and I've been pretty happy with it.
Here is the case I just got that fits well.
Cellet Bergamo Leather Case Holster
I already had an old holster from a previous phone that worked fine but I wanted just a pouch with no belt clip to slip in my pocket. This one has the the removable clip and the back is then completely flat which was perfect for me. I was using a $3 ebay slip in pouch for 4 months which is extremely thin but I wanted something just a tad thicker for the occasional drop.
I have had this only a few days but it is a snug fit which I like but it will loosen up a little based on past experience. One other note if you do get this and like the belt clip feature this one does not swivel but I think they sell replacements for this brand that might have other option.
I keep my phone naked and I do not think you could fit the phone in this case with a skin or anything else on it.
Does anyone have experience wearing the HTC One on a belt? What would you say is more comfortable/practical for everyday use (including at work), vertical or lateral style? I wore vertical for smaller phones before, but not sure with HTC One since it's pretty big,
On another note, does anyone also have experience with fortte? Seems to offer a lot of custom choices, such as a snap-on closure or Velcro. More importantly, they offer a choice between a fixed metal belt clip (leather), belt loop, or a heavy duty removable ratchet clip (made of plastic). Which belt clip/style would you recommend?

Vertical is OK.

I had some cases from Noreve.
And all I can say: clips - evil!
Belt loop only.
I use the otterbox defender to protect the phone. It works great. How ever the belt clip sucks. I have been looking for any belt clip that will work. Please help.

Good vertical case from ebay
I recently bought my HTC ONE and I have always used lateral belt pouches. Coming from HTC EVO 4G LTE is about the same size. I purchased a full body protectors like the ones from zagg but also on ebay and I have the vertical belt leather pouch which I was impressed of the quality and for 18 bucks and change it is really worth it. Here is the link to the pouch I got from ebay. I use this belt clip every day regular use and at work. I work in an office and sitting down for 8 hours with this belt pouch on does not bother at all. I guess it all depends where you wear your belt pouch. I usually wear mine just behind the front pockets of my pants. I would not wear anything in front or forward of my pockets because is uncomfortable.:good:

Edit: I have bought some other belt clips on ebay that states that are leather and good quality but after 3 months they start to peel off and the clips will start to come out. So far this one looks top notch build.

does the HTC One fit in this pouch with a case on it?
I bought this one.

I love it, it works both vertical and horizontal I use it on my belt at work and hang it on my pocket on my Jeans on the weekends. It is snug and sturdy and has a decent kickstand.

I can say that it probably fits with this Seidio case on the link below and it might be a tight squeeze:

Thanks. I do not think it will work with otterbox case.

I have always had vertical cases/pouchs before. I just got a hortizantal one. It is OK but I would prefer to find one that fits vertical.
The one I got was item 251337384318 on Ebay. It is a Rieko brand. The phone fits great with the otterbox Commuter. There is a little extra room in the case but not so much that the phone slides around. The case appears to be of good quality.
I am not affilated with the seller, I just wanted to let people know that this pouch will work.
Here is the ebay description.
"This XXL size case will fit your Samsung Galaxy S4 or S3 with a thick hybrid such as the Otterbox Defender or Armor series,or Ballistic phone cases
High quality PU leather pouch with velvitine interior that will protect your phone from scratches
Durable belt clip with added belt loops for extra security that will attach to belt or purse.
Easily accessible with magnetic closure.
Compatibility: Fits the Samsung Galaxy S4 or S3 (Universal for all carriers) with a thick hybrd case such as the Otterbox Defender, Armor, or Ballistic series. Also fits the Note 1 / Note 2 with a single layer protector.
Inside Dimensions: 6.0" x 3.4" x .65"."
I wear mine horizontally. Vertically is too long when you sit down and makes it awkward to grab at depending on the holster. Mine is from Platinum Series bought at Best Buy. Had the same one for my HTC One X and loved it. Latch is spring loaded so it is secure when it's holding the phone and easy to release/snap back into. Take a look into it, it's only about $40 for the case and holster combo.

Platinum case and holster is pretty good, indeed. But if you get the one with a kickstand, your compass won't work (magnet in the kickstand), so beware (there is a case without a kickstand, too).
