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:

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).

I was looking for a good belt case.
Seidio innocase is the best the market but they have not brought one out yet.
Hopefully they will bring one out , considering the popularity of this device.
Here is an example i am talking about
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/hlssvbrasc.htm
What is everyone using for belt. I like somthing that will clip on
My old case (previously for G1 and G8) is a nice fit for the GS2, it's Naztech Sahara.
However I have a cover on my GS2 so it no longer fits. The case I am after is Nite Ize Clip Case Sideways in Large part number CCSL-03-01, if i can get one shipped here at a good price.
I've used PDAir cases for years on my phones. They have a line for the SGS2.

I bought the horizontal pouch and a gel and both fit perfectly. Although the gel has a cut out on the right top corner for the Korean versions TV antenna. It doesn't bother me though.

Does the phone fit in the horizontal case with the Gel on the phone? I'm looking for a horizontal belt case and this PDAir one seems the best but I would like to have a thin matte or gel case on the phone as I found the phone quite slippery and easy to drop. T%he one I'm looking at is the "Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 - Horizontal Pouch Type (Black)" from your link, is this the one you purchased?
This is the one that I finally ordered. Will review it once it gets here.

Looks interesting but one thing I should have mentioned I'm looking for is that the headphone jack should be accessible while in the case. The one you posted looks like it would be covered? Regardless, looking forward to the review and thanks for posting the link.

Agree. The PDAir cases are well finished and have already released their line of cases for the SG2. Another advantage is that their vertical belt case has the belt clip permanently attached to the case. It's a lot more reassuring knowing that it won't come off or unhook when brushed against.
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.
Coming from a thunderbolt I am really interested in a thin case which has a kickstand, but I always use my phones naked in a holster which clips on my belt.
I found this on amazon, should be released tomorrow
http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Kick-Stand-Packaging-T-Mobile-Cellular/dp/B008B85DNC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=G6MAD593YXAT&coliid=I1UCOZWOUS0H0M
But I'm not sure about the quality. Anyone know of any good holsters with belt clips? or anything else like the one from amazon.
Thanks:cyclops:
I have this same case style for my HTC Rezound. It is a great case, very strong but super light and thin. The kickstand is a good design that works. When you have it folded you can not even tell it's there. Well thought out. I will get one for the SGS3 as well.
Great, I think I will be ordering this one as well. The holster has a belt clip on it, correct?
Anyone else?
Had one for my iPhone. Works very well. Just ordered this one for my S III!

How does that case compare to the CrazyOnDigital case?
http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...amsung-T-Mobile/dp/B00805SEHI/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
I've currently got a Qmadix for my GNex but the version they have for the S3 is not very attractive in a professional setting.
Just ordered the one I posted in the OP, I hope the quality is good as there are no reviews, but I need a case for this when it comes in
I don't care for this one because of the exposed top part of the case. Seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/8156.htm) has several cases with holsters -- one of which has a kickstand. I had the Surface version for my S2 and it worked great. Even dropped it a couple of times from about waist high onto the lovely slab concrete hallway at work and fully protected my phone.
So, I have my lifeproof nuud case, and it works great. I'm happy with it overall, except for one tiny detail. For some reason Lifeproof doesn't make a belt clip, and when I contacted them they said they have no plans for any accessories for the Galaxy phones. Does anybody have any suggestions on holsters or alternatives? It's insanely frustrating.
Try one of the seidio holsters. Either the convert or the seidio obex holster. Don't know what size is the lifeproof

Given the otterbox armor series is larger then lifeproof idk if this will work. But i bought a cheap Note2 fake leather belt pouch, and it fits loke a glove.

I personally use the the holster for the Seidio Obex, which is just about the right size. The Obex is only a little taller and thicker than the lifeproof, so you only need to pad out the bottom a little.
I also tried the convert plus holster, but it's too narrow to fit the lifeproof.
Been trying to find a good material for the padding though. Foam tape and such just tend to get crushed down after a couple weeks.

Good to hear! How secure is the fit, out of curiosity? Heading into the field for work soon, I like the fact that my lifeproof is waterproof, but have been debating using my Defender just because of how secure it is.

Without the padding is not very secure, but with it is very good.
Personally, I wouldn't call the defender holster very secure. It holds great under normal conditions, but with my incredible s, I broke 3 of those holsters thanks to the dumb flexing-hard-plastic clip design holding the phone in place and the s3 version appears to have the same design unless they've switched to a different plastic formula.

BTW the obex holster has Locking Mechanism, so it wont go anywhere! Ive have the obex clip on the fake lifeproof case of my gs3 and the fit is great. Once locked its not going anywhere. But i do know that the real LP and fake LP are different dimensions thats why i said i wasnt sure.
Good to hear, I'm guessing foam tape is the current best thing for padding, anybody have other suggestions?

The foam tape I tried needed to be replaced every 2 weeks or so.
My latest attempt is filling in the bottom of the holster with some polyurethane construction adhesive I had laying around.
Didn't quite get the thickness right on the first try. I'll add in some more when I have a couple days when I don't need it, as the stuff takes semi-forever to fully set.

Ah it's a canvas type similar to the leather ones. I actually bought it in downtown Los Angeles at a small no name shop. Brand Name is Reiko if that helps.

Hi I have generic lifeproof case for the galaxy s3 decided to switch to the seido obex and the belt clip works great for my lifeproof case.
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.
