My father picked up a GS3 and I need to get him some holiday gifts for it!
First off I want to get him a high quality leather belt clip / holster that will hold his phone. He doesn't like putting it in his pocket, but I want something high quality and fashionable not tacky. Something by the likes of Tumi would be perfect, but of course they only make one for iPhone
Also he needs a car mount, anyone have any input on the TetraX Fixway vs the Exomount 2? I was kind of leaning towards the Exomount but the TetraX is interesting. Can you mount the phone sideways with the TetraX?
Thanks for your input!

Looking for a high quality mount/adapter for my samsung galaxy S3 that would give it a female 1/4 inch tripod mount.
So far the only I have found is the 4th Design Tripod Grip 5787 Mount.
Are there other options available? Prefer something made by professional brands such as Manfrotto, Benro or Gitzo.
Prefer metal over plastic, so I rather stay away from Joby and Arkon MG600
Thanks.
I got sick of waiting for Seidio to release their kickstand cases, I use my phone a lot to watch stuff (shows/movies while at work). So I picked one up off ebay.
This was the listing:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Minisuit-Rub...ll_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item2c761729bf&_uhb=1
I have a feeling there cheaper priced ones out there, but I can't complain, shipping was SUPER fast since it came from the States instead of China.
Overall the case is nice and compact, not overly bulky, has a rigid design on the back so it won't slip out of your hand.
All the cut outs are clean and clear. The audio jack is large enough to accommodate my Audiotechnica m50 headphone 1/8" jack if I push a bit harder than normal. Kickstand works fine, however it does make a bit of a rattling noise when it's retracted.

There are so many brands selling this exact model case as their own right now it's kind of ridiculous. Glad you got yours for cheap at least and it does seem quite rugged.
I don't like these cases much because the rubber part is pretty stiff making the buttons hard to press down. I prefer the silicone/plastic hybrid kickstand combo.
I prefer to carry my phone in a belt clip. The only one that I could find that I could stand for the MotoX was the one that comes with the Otterbox Defender case. To use the clip you have to use the case, which I really dislike (too bulky).
I was browsing in my local Office Depot and saw this belt clip. It is not designed for the MotoX obviously, but it is a very snug fit for the MotoX in the Snap Case (by InCase). It is an even tighter fit for the MotoX in the Reveal Case (by Griffin) and the clip presses on the phone buttons (power and volume).
I prefer the Reveal Case so I notched the belt clip to keep it from pressing the phone buttons and provide access to them.I put some heat on the clip and reduced the overall pressure on the phone.
The cut out is pretty rough, but I will clean it up now that I know it works.
I'm pretty happy with this set-up because I have a solid belt clip that works with my preferred case. YMMV :fingers-crossed:

Update: I've been using this belt clip for nearly two months now and it is still working great. I wear it doing yard work while listening to wired ear buds. It stays secure. My Moto has never come out of the clip accidentally.
Great.
Waiting on Seidio to come out with their G4 belt holsters, is there any other ones out there? Tried the Best Buy one, Platinum case, but it fits really snug and I think it's because of the slight curve of the screen. If you look at the middle there is a nice gap there but then nothing and the ends, and it's really sung going in. And it just ads a crap load of bulk.
I love the naked phone and thinking of looking for a horizontal leather pouch with a belt clip and just slide the phone in and out. Not that cheap crap but a good solid belt clip and quality leather.
NiteIze is an option
I have not purchased one yet, but I think the Nite Ize make an option for a cheap leather or rugged. They usually run about $15-25 depending on seller and availability. I linked below to the examples, but if you are just looking for temporary either should work.
My friends run the vertical version of the non-leather for their Note 3 and LG G3, as they tend to be more roomier and take more abuse than the leather versions.

Hi.
I ordered 2 of these through Amazon.co.uk, (seller is Smart-Kingsourse, ships from Hong Kong) "Kingsource (TM) LG G4 Premium Leather Horizontal holster pouch With Magnetic Clasp And Belt Clip (LG G4, Litchi black)" they just arrived this morning and seem quite good. There was a stylus and (film type) screen protector in the parcel which I wasn't expecting and although I've only been using them an hour I'm pretty happy with the case and there's plenty of room for the leather backed G4 to slide easily in and out. Might be worth you having a look.
Cheers.
Eoin.

They actually sell these at Home Depot, love the case except they close using velcro. Which is great till you go to open it in a quite place then all you hear is rip.
