Galaxy S2 Belt holster help! - Galaxy S II Accessories

I've been looking for a belt holster for my dad's S2 but I don't really know if there are any good ones out there. Anyone know of any good holsters? I've heard I should stay away from magnetic ones.
Please help!

I've been using a Nite Ize Clip Sideways Large for over a year, still solid and safe and it's had a tough year!
It's big enough to have a gel-case or similar on and it's a good fit without too due to elastic sides.

Belt Holster?

I'm looking for a belt clip holster for my Captivate. I want one that holds the phone horizontally, and something with a magnetic flap. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I found one at Best Buy that fit with the soft Body Glove case on. I think the name was Rhino-case or something like that. I'm probably going to keep looking, the belt clip on this one isn't all that great.
I saw one like your talking about on one of the forums. It was an OEM holster that had a metal tag on it that said "Galaxy S". I haven't been able to find that holster for sale OR find the originally forum article where I saw it
This is what I ordered yesterday off Amazon. Just got shipped, so I haven't personally examined it, but it fits the description of what you need.

Rajendra, I bought something similar off ebay a while back for my last phone, and the leather around the belt clip started ripping after 2-3 months of use. I'd really like something that's going to last at least a year or two, if not longer.

It looks very wide to me - for a thicker phone. Much like a lot of the universal cases.
I have the body glove case from AT&T and with that, it fits pretty nicely into the spring loaded holster case for the Droid X from Verizon! Lol
I'll put up some pics if anyone's interested or whenever I get the chance
I'm interested...

If you could post pics it would be nice.
Best case, IMHO, is the Case Logic ITEM # CLP403SPH.
Simple clean lines, fits like a glove, black leather with contrast tan stitching and suede tan inner lining.
I search for several days and found this case at Target for $20.

I would love to see how it looks
Here's a little video... Sorry I was too lazy to find my camera so the closest thing was an Ipod Nano lol
One thing that does worry me about this is that the screen has to face out so it can be pretty nerve racking if you bump into things a lot...
You can make the screen face in, but it won't fit if you have a case on. It also doesn't feel so secure.
One of the main reasons I like this though is that I can keep it secured, out of my pocket, and I can still leave my earphones on it listening to music! (I messed up quite a few earphones jamming my devices into my pocket with them plugged in)

I just had to see if I liked the holster you were talking about so went to the store and asked for it. It was in the back and when he came out had a different one. I like it better and the face is in.
All it says is " shell/holster combo". of course I only used the holster.
29.99 cost. Works right though with the body glove on. Solid too.

I got this delivered from Amazon today. Seems very well made for the price, and fits the naked Captivate perfectly. Unfortunately it is way too tight with the body glove on, so it's either one or the other.
Oh nice! I really like the spring loaded feature on mine, but I think it's more important to cover the face! Lol.
Can you still plug in earphones with it clipped on the case? Is it also really easy to put on and remove?

yes it is. I wonder if just the belt clip is available separately? Don't really need the cover. Might be cheaper. Like me.
I moved from a Tilt2. I have been using a Palm Treo case since my old Tilt. While looking for a case, I used the Treo case with the Body Glove cover. I was planning to use it until I found a better fitting case. It was too tight a fit to use.
In the past couple of days, the case has been forming it to the phone and now it fits perfectly. I buy these things a couple at a time so when they wear out, I have another. It looks like I'll be using this case until I cannot find it anymore.
Here's links to 2 Droid X cases at Verizon.

Clip on style belt case ?

Has anyone seen one that will fit yet ?
The leather, clip on your belt style (yes, I know, old school).
I really need the protection at work, I'm a contractor.
It's just too bulky of a phone to put in a pants pocket and it will stretch out a shirt badly if you try the shirt pocket.
Amzer has them. Anyone have any experience with their products?
http://www.amzer.com/Samsung/Samsung-Vibrant-T959-accessories.htm
I don't see one with a belt clip, those all appear to be just wallets.
I have no experience with thier goods, in fact never heard of the site before you posted about it.
I contacted "Otter case" to ask about them possibly making one (Otter makes outstanding cases).

Thx Sugarmouth.
That is what I am looking for....but no offense, that one is a bit tacky to my tastes.
I'll probably end up getting a Body Glove or a Otter defender when they hit the market.
But, untill then, I am going to hit up Tandy Leather today and get some *stuff* to make my own
BTW, Otter replied...
Update for Case #161412 - "Samsung Vibrant"
We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have submitted a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have.
Thank you, and Have a Great day!

You can try the Leather Belt Clip case for a Droid X available at most Verizon stores. It will fit your Vibrant perfectly when placed in the T-Mobile Gel Skin...
I personally use a leather case I found on ebay a while ago. It was for a G1 and my Vibrant fits just fine in it. The g1 isn't as wide, but is thicker so it more or less makes up for the difference. Not to mention I used to use my G1.
I tried to find you one quick on ebay to give you an idea, but I kept finding them with magnetic opposed to snaps or velcro. I know the magnetic ones used to drive the compus bokers on the G1 so I figured why wouldn't it drive the Vibrant bonkers.

[Review] Reiko Premium Hybrid Case

Hey guys,
[Youtube]REIKO HYBRID CASE REVIEW FOR T989
Here is my first review among many coming for the phone. This one is about the Reiko Premium Hybrid Case.
I purchased this off ebay a few days ago and decided to do a quick review. I will do another in a few weeks to see how it lasts till then. So far its a nice sturdy and perfect fitting case. The only problem is the clips that hold the first layer together do not seem too strong. I would recommend to not take your case apart if you dont have to.
Pros:
-Tight Fit
-Good Protection
-Price
Cons:
-First Layer clips do not seem super sturdy.​
TO BUY: Reiko Case Ebay Link
If you notice anything I should change or features you would rather have me talk about please let me know.
Credit to JaY iZz BaKk for originally pointing this case out to me!
Legit review ! Thanks for the shout out
I also stand by this case, I usually like to buy branded cases but this one is looking and feeling very solid
Sweet, I was waiting for your review. Just kind of wish it had a belt clip.
I ordered mine few days ago, should be here tomorrow. Looked like a solid case

I just purchased the infuse hc case by ballistic a day ago. When that comes in ill see how much it might need to be modified in order to be used effectively. In the mean time I will keep bugging ballistic to make us their hc case.
Something i dont like about it so fR is the headphone jack space will only allow straight headphones like oem samsung or apple headphones

If you wanted to, you could cut down on that back portion of the plastic to make it allow your style of headphones.
I picked up one of these myself. Granted, I've only had it for two days, but so far I really like this case. It makes the phone quite big, bug for me that's perfect, I have big hands. For the price, you really can't beat it.

Belt pouch

I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
It will fit into the Maxpedition 5" Clip-On Phone / Radio Holster. It is a bit pricey and a bit rugged (so not so good with a smart suit or tux!) but it will hold your phone securely.
Junk the metal belt clip because it can pull out. Thread your belt through the 3 Molle straps horizontally or make a belt loop from a Maxpedition 3" Tactie (Google instructions on using Tacties) or a Malice clip. I use this holster for my Galaxy S2 with a Tactie and it's totally secure.
One point to consider is that the corners of the phone are exposed but I find that the phone cover protects those.

Happy to help. Bear in mind that the 5" holster is really 5" tall and a Nexus is 5.33", so you'll have a little bit of phone protruding. Personally I think that's perfectly fine and gives you something to get hold of to pull the phone out, but I should probably have made that clear. The retaining strap is plenty long enough to accommodate the extra length.
I bought 2 of these for my SGS2 (black and khaki) and I love them. They're totally secure so long as you junk that crappy metal belt clip.
Please post back your opinion once you've tried yours.
Just received mine last week. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't have any 5" tac ties left to get it on my bag. Ordered those, should have them today sometime.
Overall I don't really have anything to complain about other than wishing I had a way for molle to be both secure and also easy to remove when I don't need it

I believe you only need a 3" Tactie.

Have you tried Malice clips? They're easier to thread and to undo providing you have a suitable tool handy. I personally don't like them because I find them big, clumsy and inflexible. They make horrid belt loops but they do hold stuff to a pack more tightly than a Tactie and won't ever come undone by accident.
If I don't mind something swinging about a bit I just fasten it with a carabiner. That's the ultimate quick-release Molle connector. :laugh:

Belt Clip Holster for an S3 w/UAG Scout Case?

Hey, Guys...
I'm hoping to find a belt-clip/holster for my S3 that I just mounted in an Urban Armor "Scout" case. I found a nicely made Duracell leather case that fits the 'naked' S3, but the UAG case makes it too big to fit...
Anyone have any luck finding something that works with this phone/case combination?
Thanks in advance!

I have a case on my S3 and use a holster for a Note 2 because it is a little bigger. It still might be a tight fit in the beginning because of the thickness but after a while it works fine.

Sorry, I got it a long time ago on ebay. I think it was something like $10 with free shipping. It was one of those chinese knockoffs but it has lasted me a couple of years. Just do a search for " Note 2 holster". Sometimes in the description they include the inside dimensions.I actually have 2 different ones, both faux leather, but they both work fine.

Urban Armor has very similar advice:
Q: Do you currently make or plan to make a holster for your composite cases ?
A: We do not currently manufacture a holster; however, this may become something we offer in the future. A few customers have reported using a holster designed for the Samsung note to carry their UAG composite case.
