As the title says, does anyone know of a nice premium leather hand stitched horizontal case with belt loop? I have searched and searched and have come up with just ebay stuff for 5 - 10 $. Bought several and am tired of crap. Does not even last 2 days before the belt loops tear off the cheap imitation leather.
Check out the Bugatti cases. High quality leather. Only made in Germany I believe. But I imported one for about $40.

Came across a Sena Leather Sleeve and a PDAir Leather sleeve, both really nice and thin for the xoom, but... the sena one for 39.99 is on backorder and the other one is just too expensive, and I would prefer something similar for a little cheaper. Anybody find anything else similar?
I saw something like you are describing on Amazon it was more of a flattened tube with a zipper on one end. Try doing a search on Amazon for zoom cases

They changed the price to $59.99 for the Sena case. And it's still on backorder.
I like the look of the PDAir case better, but I think they raised the price too. I thought it showed $75 before, now it shows $99.
The price of both of them raised today ! Geeez... looks like PDAir did add a couple different new styles though. I really want the horizontal pouch style.
I tried out the VZW gel case but it felt too slippery (+too expensive!) so I returned it.
I am looking for that style of case but something with a little more grippage.
Is anyone using something they could recommend?
Thanks
Hey. I don't have this case in my possession just yet, but the Xoom case Genius by Zoogue was my definite choice! Its leather, so not may have the grippyness you prefer, but it looks amazing! It can be used as a stand, a full body cover, car head rest mount, and has a strap so you can wrap it around your hand. I preordered a while back and should have it soon. This brand has high praise for their genius cases.

I think I'll be getting an otterbox defender case for mine..

I'm trying to find a decent horizontal leather holster for my new S3.
I'm talking about something that looks like the attached file. (apparently I am too lame yet to use a url)
I really like this case but I need it sooner than 2-3 weeks that it would take to ship from Hong Kong. So, if someone has an idea where I can find this case stateside or something similar that will hold the phone with a thin protective case like the Rock case. It should also either have 2 belt loops or a snap that keeps the clip from sliding off my belt.
Thanks.
Check your local ATT corporate store. I ordered a couple leather cases off of ebay and amazon but something was always wrong with them. Either felt cheap or to small to fit my GS3 with a thing case on it. The one at ATT cost as much as the 5 I ordered online but at least I could place my phone in it to see if it fits before I bought it. The case itself has two belt loops and a plastic clip that is not removable. It literally feels like it was made for the GS3 with a small case on it.

I ended up ordering the one from ebay. I know the quality is likely to be bad, but I am extremely hard on these things. I have a hard time paying for a holster that is just going to be broken in 2 months anyway. Even the holsters I get from the stores are this way. In any case, I ordered the holster + black shell combo. I'll see about giving it a quick review when I get them in.
Thanks for the suggestions all.
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).
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.
