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.

I just bought a $3 (with shipping) plastic case with belt clip on Ebay, and it was a bust. Its securing clip locks into the detent for the battery cover and the only way to remove the phone from the case is to wrestle it loose, and in most cases the battery cover pops off in the process. Unacceptable.
I only need a cheap case for the gym, something that gives access to the earphone jack and has a belt clip. I would also like for the phone to be removable easily. Any other time and the phone stays in my pocket. Any recommendations?
Why not try one of the arm band pouches that people always put their iDevice in?

If you don't have a case on your phone, check this out. More than 3 bucks but this is the type of thing you're looking for:
Can't hyper link, I'm apparently too new.
Search on amazon for "Seidio Spring-Clip Holster"
You really just need a holster.
i bought this case and really like it,

I got this case when I first got the phone. I wasn't sure I would like it. That was 8 months ago.
About a mount back, I took the clip off my belt and just dropped the clip on the floor in the bedroom. Somewhere in the process I stepped on it and cracked it. So at $7 I just bought two more (the cracked one actually still worked fine).
This case usually is great because of the texture that keeps it from slipping.
But just last night at work, I was carrying my phone and as I moved it from one hand to the other, it slipped. It went crashing to the concrete floor and slid about 8 feet. I can't find a mark on the phone or case anywhere. hard to believe but even the case is spotless from the fall to the concrete.
One of the best investments I have made right there.
Amazon/Verizon Holster
That Amazon/Verizon Holster is the same one I have. But I overpaid at Verizon. $20. Get it at Amazon. Verizon makes enough in overcharging. It is the exact same one. I really like it also. But I will warn you, this one too is a bit tough to get out of the holster without "popping the back. It is made to be snug. The brand Imprinted on mine is Qmadix. Hope this helps.

This. Ordered it with amazon prime yesterday and got it today. Also let me be the first to tell you I have tried just about every case, and this basic shell/holster always comes out best.

I got this a verizon for $20. Like another poster, I was really happy with it untol I stepped on the belt clip on the flor and cracked it. Found it on Anazon and bought two. This works VERY well IMHO. I've tried others, and always return to this.
I have been using the Platinum case with clip from Best Buy. I believe its the same as the Seido. Looks great, and has protected the phone well, and the clip is easy and convenient to use.
Shipping is double the cost of the holster! Are they still $20 at Verizon?
This was my favorite case for my Droid X! Always seemed to come back to this one bc of its size and it comes with a belt clip.
I have the platinum case that came with a belt clip that you can attach to the cover.
But it was about $30 if I remember.
Anyone have a side case with a solid belt clip that they are using with a Diztronic (TPU-cases)?
I have been trying the pocket and shirt pocket but so far its driving me nuts. I think I need to go back to a belt holster but I like my current case so im looking into holsters like this:
http://www.shopandroid.com/ecolife-hydro-side-case/4A120A8418.htm
The issue I have with many of this style is the poor belt clip lacking something from the bottom to keep it from sliding off.
Verizon sells one. Back before the LTE version came out, I walked into a local store with my GSM version and had them pull out whatever accessories they had that could work.
It's the biggest generic one they sell, ~$20. It's got a clip, not belt loops. I have a Diztronic TPU case on mine, and it stretched the case quite a bit, but at least it fits. The salesperson had a RAZR with a case, and her's also just barely fit (they're almost the same height).
I personally am looking now at the plastic holsters where you can snap in the cased phone.
Seidio makes really good holsters that sometimes can accept other cases on them . The draw back is Seidio is very proud of their cases and holsters . Im sure there will be cheaper alternatives coming out shortly .
There's a nice thread on this forum that summarizes 4-5 different holsters. The Seidio one is about $25 or so, without the case even. There's a real cheap $7+ one from htcpedia, which I have incoming, but reviews have not been good =P.
the siedio surface holster fits a tpu case pretty well. i added some "shims" to tighten it up some using the loop part of velcro on the bottom retainer tabs of the holster and it fits perfectly.
it's actually my current combo that i'm using.
So I've been using this cheap-o case and belt-clip I got from ebay for several months now. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. Recently my phone seems to want to pop out of the belt clip more while I walk around.
So I'm looking for suggestions on a new case with a belt clip. Something semi-rugged would be nice, since I work in a factory environment, but doesn't have to be a crazy Otterbox either.
I got one at a mall booth. It has Reiko on the front. It's a mylon canvas soft side case with both belt loop holders and belt clip. It's been more durable than my old one which had a thin plasic clip.
I have been using the Sedio convert combo, heavy duty holster but adds a fair amount of bulk.
I use the Otterbox Defender... I probably don't need that level of protection, but the case feels and looks great. The weight doesn't bother me, I like feel of the phone in the case better than with no case, which feels very fragile/cheap to me. The case provides excellent grip. Holster works well too.
I have also used the Seidio Active case, which is considered to provide good protection for people who don't need Defender level protection. Case and holster are both lighter than the Defender/holster, holster is good. This case feels kind of spongy or loose to me though, not as solid as the Defender, which is why I switched.
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.
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.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CRJDZSQ/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
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).
