Looking for a belt holster for N5 in case - Nexus 5 Accessories

Hey all,
I have a N5 in a Magpul case. Since I put it in the case, it no longer fits in the horizontal belt holster I used to have it in. The dimensions of the phone inside the case are 5-3/4" H x 3" W x 9/16" thick. I looked at a few N6 cases, but they were all too thin. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could use?

I am using an Acase Superleggera (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GAF2WC8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with the following horizontal belt holster (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G7URWR6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I am very happy with the combination.
This works well for me. I doubt that the dimensions of the Acase are identical to the Magpul's but they shouldn't be too different. The case itself is inexpensive and of good quality. Hope this helps.

Great! thanks for your help.

I use a Trekstor USB HDD carry pouch for my Nexus. Slips in and out quickly and i can even use wired headphones!

Leather Holster case big enough to hold Vibrant in T-Mobile Gel Skin

Hey,
Does anyone know of a case that is big enough to comfortably hold a Vibrant in a t-mobile gel skin. The phone is so light and fragile w/o the gel skin, but I would really like to have a holster to carry it on my belt. Anyone know of a case thats might work for that purpose?
Thanks!
I actually have the T-mobile gel case and purchased the leather swivel hip case for the moto cliq from t-mobile. with a little bit of stretching they both fit perfectly. Not to much work to pull it out or slide in. Try this out. They have 2 cases at t-mobile. find the one with the magnetic button and not the concealed magnet. Good luck!
I found a horizontal Rocketfish leather holster that is a perfect fit for the Vibrant with an average thickness gel skin at Best Buy. Not too snug, not too lose; feels like it was made for the phone.
I can't find a link to it on their website but it was a universal case and, suprisingly, very well constructed with soft black leather.
It has a swivel clip but it lays flat against the case so the phone doesn't protrude far from your waist.
I bought a leather holster that's made for the EVO from a Sprint store. It fits great with the tmo gel skin on it.

I got the same one. A few days of pushing my phone in the case it fits perfect.
The best fitting case is the leather holster sold by Verizon for the Droid X. It is a perfect fit with the T-Mobile gel skin.

Waist/belt case - Holster

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.

Quality Pouch w/ Belt Clip or Holster Case Compatible?

Hey all. Does anyone know of a good quality case that clips onto a belt? Preferably one that will last through some physical activity (those fake leather pouches will fall apart). Also huge plus if anyone has experience with a recommended case and knows that it can survive some random bursts of jogging or running (I've had some cheap magnetic ones that would open up and make my phone fly).
Secondly, anyone know of a belt case/pouch that is big enough to fit a protective HTC One case? For example, an Otterbox Commuter? This particular criterion has made my search much harder, but finding one would save me a headache.
I'd love some suggestions. Thanks!

That's actually pretty interesting, although not sure if that will function in more everyday situations as well.
Also, does anyone know if SEIDO's ACTIVE Holster is compatible with the Otterbox Commuter? I've read that for a few other phone models, for some reason SEIDO's Holster fits the Commuter perfectly, but wasn't able to confirm if it's the same for the HTC One.
I was also suggested fortte and bugatti-mobilecases
Would definitely love more suggestions!

Nope. Commuter and active holster don't fit. Commuter is a little thicker. I love the commuter, but need a clip from time to time. The active case is very nice though.
I am looking for one as well. I use the commuter. I always had a ppouch for my OG EVO4G w/commuter and had no issues. 2 months of the ONE with the commuter and I now have a scratch in the screen. I really need a good quality pouch.
I ordered the Otterbox Defender for my One today, it supposedly comes with a belt clip. It's about $38 on Amazon.

Lateral or Vertical Belt Case?

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?

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:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/310630196317?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
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).

Belt clip/pouch with slim armor case?

I just bought the spigen slim armor case and am having a very difficult time finding a belt pouch that fits.
I measured out the dimensions with the case on and it is 5 3/4" x 3" x 1/2"
i am also thinking about maybe getting a pouch that was made for a different phone that is slightly larger than the nexus 5.
anyone have any luck?
Update: looks like no one responded to me but i'll post this anyway...in case anyone is interested

I bought this pouch and it is a perfect fit for the Nexus 5 + slim armor case...the dimensions are 5.9" x 3 x 1 which was the closest ive found so i took and chance and it was a great choice..you can get it for like $5 but i went with the seller that had it for $7 (prime shipping)
Just came across this - do you think it'd have enough room for a bigger case? I have the Ringke Fusion which isn't a very thick case, but it's thicker than the spigen slim.
Also how has it held up? I can be a bit rough on my belt loop cases (keep getting caught on seatbelts and such) and I had one like that rip on me after a couple of weeks.
Thanks in advance

Is the Ringke Fusion bigger up/down or just thickness? If it's thickness it should be fine.. There is some wiggle room there... But of course I can't guarantee you
You should measure it and compare it to the dimensions I posted above
The belt loops are pretty durable.. There are two loops and a metal clip... Very sturdy

I'm currently using a Seido Dilex holster with my Ringke Fusion and it fits perfectly. I got tired of trying to find a pouch that will fit. As for your case, I would look into the holster for their covert case, you'll just need to know the thickness of the case to see if there's any wiggle room or will it fit snug.
Just my thoughts.
Is there anything like that that will hold the phone vertically and not horizonally? Doesn't have to be a complete pouch, but just some kind of 'cage' that holds the phone+slim armor case on a belt, but vertical.

just measure the dimensions that search for a phone case that fits it vertically...horizontal one that i bought is for the S3 and it fits...so you can start by trying to search for S3 vertical pouches

Look at these two holsters Seidio. I don't work for them, just love the holsters. They do rotate as well. The Surface holster will fit case that are less than 2mm thick and the Dilex will fit cases that are less than 2.2mm thick (Ringke Fusion needs the Dilex due to the "feet" of the case) I'm assuming the Dilex is need for the slim armour case as well, I can't find the thickness of the case.
