Has anyone seen one that will fit yet ?
The leather, clip on your belt style (yes, I know, old school).
I really need the protection at work, I'm a contractor.
It's just too bulky of a phone to put in a pants pocket and it will stretch out a shirt badly if you try the shirt pocket.
Amzer has them. Anyone have any experience with their products?

I don't see one with a belt clip, those all appear to be just wallets.
I have no experience with thier goods, in fact never heard of the site before you posted about it.
I contacted "Otter case" to ask about them possibly making one (Otter makes outstanding cases).

Thx Sugarmouth.
That is what I am looking for....but no offense, that one is a bit tacky to my tastes.
I'll probably end up getting a Body Glove or a Otter defender when they hit the market.
But, untill then, I am going to hit up Tandy Leather today and get some *stuff* to make my own
BTW, Otter replied...
Update for Case #161412 - "Samsung Vibrant"
We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have submitted a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have.
Thank you, and Have a Great day!

You can try the Leather Belt Clip case for a Droid X available at most Verizon stores. It will fit your Vibrant perfectly when placed in the T-Mobile Gel Skin...
I personally use a leather case I found on ebay a while ago. It was for a G1 and my Vibrant fits just fine in it. The g1 isn't as wide, but is thicker so it more or less makes up for the difference. Not to mention I used to use my G1.
I tried to find you one quick on ebay to give you an idea, but I kept finding them with magnetic opposed to snaps or velcro. I know the magnetic ones used to drive the compus bokers on the G1 so I figured why wouldn't it drive the Vibrant bonkers.

Does anyone know of a holster clip for the HTC Aria? I was selling a Blackberry Curve 8530 with a clip that has the front of the phone facing the clip, which ended up looking really cool, and I'd like one for the Aria. I've checked around places, and I have found no holster clips at all that aren't really just pouch cases.
Been looking for one myself for a while and finally came across this one:
http://www.wirelessemporium.com/p-56311-premium-force-holster-w-sleep-mode-function-for-htc-aria.asp
Ordered, but haven't received it yet so I can't comment on quality...
The best holster I've found is one for a "classic" ipod. Do a little cutting to open the area up for the screen. It's cheap and easy. I can use the phone either in the case, or slide it out..

Looks to be the same as one I picked up @ wirelessground.com/htc-aria-accessories.html They actually have quite a few products for the aria.
Don't know anything about them as I just ordered the holster last night.
update on the holster - although not as nice as the seidio holsters I've used with my other phones, this one does the job nicely.
Thanks for the uodate. Can you leave it face-in with this holster, and if so how easily does the Aria eject from the clip? Alternatively, can you leave it face-out and answer calls without removing it at all?
Does not fit face-out.
Face in, it's a nice tight fit. Almost too tight.
Works well once you get used to it...
So ordered sat received Friday. Seems to be a nice holster. Fit is tight, felt is a nice touch, and it has a nice low profile.
For $12 I'm certainly not going to complain, and have no problem recommending it for those looking for a holster.

Unfortunately, this clip broke last week as I was scraping ice off of my car Windows, looks like its time to look for a more sturdy one.
cheap plastic, heck all rigid plastic does not handle freezing temperatures very well.
My GN arrives tomorrow and of course I'm very excited!
Does anyone wear their GN in a case with a belt clip? I've seen one on a website but the only review said the interior was rough.....can't have that.
If I have to start carrying my phone in a different manner due to the phone's size, so be it - but I'd prefer to have it on my belt.
Thanks for any feedback!
I wear a belt clip with my slacks and tank top.

any belt clip will do as long as the case you get has a way to attach to it.

Just got the Note Saturday and looking for the same. Not a lot to choose from what I have seen. I saw this on Amazon and for less on ebay. Have not ordered yet. I did order a TPU case and screen protector from Amazon but not sure yet about how to use as a phone, whether in the pocket or on belt...

Hadn't seen this one.....thanks! Did see the horizontal one from the same company. I worry about just carrying the phone around in my pocket.
I guess if the GN gets released in US we'll have more options here.

Me too. I have never carried a phone in my pocket. Right now my note is backing up my skyrocket until I can figure out how to use and carry this as a phone. I prefer to wear on the belt but that seems to be a less popular way these days.

Got this for the streak last year
http://www.amazon.com/Zing-571-221-MPEBK1-Medium-Electronic/dp/B000E6S3TK
I too prefer carrying my case on my belt. Would prefer a horizontal case, but got this one last February. Belt loop through the belt, soft pouch.
Perfect size for the streak.
If/when a horizontal case comes up with a spring belt clip that isn't EXPENSIVE, I'll get one of those, but for now this one serves the purpose.

Yep fits it without stretching the pouch. Easy to get it in/out of the pouch.
The only "issue" is sort of a shoot yourself in the foot with a gun issue...
Sometimes when I get home, if I'm on the phone when I pull out the belt, I forget the phone is still on there until I hear it thump against the carpet LOL...never had an issue with it being in the pouch hitting the floor.
I realize none of the flip cases will offer the same protection as my Otterbox Defender but which one do yall think offers the best protection? Most I've seen seem to leave the top and bottom of the phone pretty much exposed other than possibly a teeny tiny bit on the corners. I ordered one of thsoe KLD Oscar II's off Amazon a couple weeks ago and the pics look good but it dont seem like it's really going to protect the phone very well.

Curious about this one too. I ordered the KLD Eland, so I'll leave some thoughts once it arrives.
Well finally got the KLD Oscar in the mail this evening, while it looks nice I'd prefer something with a little more protection, might save the KLD for a weekend case. Too bad that dont make something like an Otterbox flip phone, that would be perfect! Due to the fact I work in a chemical plant and ride a motorcycle I prefer something a little more rugged than most.

Writing a full review for this case because it is dead sexy, tough, and offers a lot of protection.
Unlike all the other leather or pleather flip cases I've used this one is thick and padded without feeling bulky or heavy. Plus the company will laser etch a custom message anywhere you want. It's a damn good case.
edit
if fancy boy vintage italian leather ain't yer huckleberry dem make a nice western leather case too
I ordered the Western Leather case from Tuff-Luv on Monday, I'll put up some pictures and a mini review once it arrives. For the price I hope it will be better than the HTC Double Dip Flip.
These look pretty decent here also........

Nice looking case, exactly what I'm looking for, but man that is expensive...
But yours can be the one with bad moths on it. Or don't panic in my case.
I will say that I have used many leather cases over the hers and this is the only one that feels and looks like what I expect in a luxury item in both durability and style. I can't really stress that this thing is built to last in a way that mobile baubles never are. There's one on the nexus 4 that still looks like fresh sex after a year in the hands of possibly the world's clumsiest one eyed phone geek.

The dimensions of this phone are 6.26" x 2.6" x .66" closed. I've been looking for a nice pouch to put it in rather than a case. I didn't find much but came across the idea to adapt a case for a different purpose to housing this phone. With that in mind here is a link to a case for eyeglasses that I think might work, what do you folks think?
https://www.lucrin.com/accessories/...ard-size-glasses-tan-real-ostrich-leather.htm
i bought a pouch for the fold and thats what i expect to use rather than a case.
I have use a microfiber sunglass pouch for my phone even if it has a case and screen protector. Helps keep pocket dust and stuff out and also serves as a cleaning cloth if needed. Been doing it for 6+ years now.
So I'm not Bat feces crazy, or at least not the only one who is bat feces crazy. I'm still sorting stuff out but I expect to be buying a nice high end leather pouch of some kind for this thing, ostrich, croc, etc. When you've spent this much money on a phone why not throw good money after bad?
Problem being when you're putting in or taking out of the pouch; sooner or later you'll fumble and it will tumble.
It's size, frequency of use and lack of sure handgrips almost guarantees it to happen.
Putting a tether on it might help, but a good case is mandatory to protect it.
B&H carries many different pouches and bags, their customer service is second to none. I use cargo and tactical pants to stash my 10+, works pretty well most times but only it's case has saved it from concrete hell.

Too many learned the hard way with the heavy near no bevel Note's when they fall with no case.
One case the owner's dog's tail whacked it off the table to patio oblivion.
Two layered protection systems generally work best ie hard polycarbonate shell with a semi hard urethane liner. Sort of slim pickens but the last two on this list here look promising.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/best-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2-cases/?amp
Eye ball them carefully. You want some screen protection that will also double as false touch guards but not too excessive or it will impede usage.
Be careful that mic and speaker ports aren't covered.
At this price point these phones should have a hard tether point just like a camera...
not everyone is clumsy with smartphones. back in the day i use to use pouches all the time with big ass phones like the hitachi G1000 (google it) , the IBM Simon, and newer phones like the htc one max, and never had issues dropping it. lots of OG fold owners did not use a case on those phones and many had no issues.
sure some people are all thumbs with gadgets and that's why cases were made , but lets not post up that everyone drops phones because everyone don't.
matter of fact, my old school nexus 6 - i used a pouch with it, and still looks great all these years later...
Just a matter of time until fate shows you life isn't fair...
pouch
last couple days i've tried both of these cases and they are fine. i saw a cool looking case in the case thread i just picked up , but for now either of these are good for me.
Lowepro makes good gear. For a bare phone this is probably big enough as their internal dim specs tend to be generous. Belt or holster style mount with double lock velcro tabs that don't fail.

Yes, I'm also using the Shocksock that I bought for my original Fold on the Fold 2 now.
Fitbag, a German pouch, is also very good, but exactly fits the device, so even a thin back cover will make the device circumference too large.

Which make is the second, holster-like pouch?
Used Lowepro gear for over a decade. Holds up well.
You need a belt or horizontal strap to mount this. The double securing velcro fasteners stay put.

I was actually looking for something nice, ie real leather, that sort of thing. I do thank folks for their ideas and responses all the same, I may go to the sock if I cant find a nice ostrich leather or something similar.

When I buy clothes I look for ones the will accommodate the phone and other gear;
BDU pants, and vests with chest pockets etc.
The phone gets it's own pocket... works well.
