Just found this in my daily search and wanted to share so more folks would see it.
I just purchased 3 of them, one in red, black, and teal.

Looks pretty good for once, and the holster looks durable. Colors look good if they really come out this way.
Case itself is a 3 piece.
$8.99
Go get it! Low stock.
Nice price, but I can't see anyone older than 16 y.o. wanting one. Maybe if I had my phone with me while working 80 ft high on scaffolding.
I ordered as well. Thanks for the link

I already have the black. its decent. phone locks in well.
case is bulky. buttons are much harder to push. has a deep lip around screen and collects dust.
protects the phone well.
Mine is branded AIFENG, but is exact same case/holster.

Just wondering, are you both over 16 also? LOL
Have you tried any other cases in that holster?

well over 16, not tried any other cases in it actually. I dont think they would hold in it very well, the holster side clip actually has fingers that lock into the case itself. They go into the small square indents you see on the side of the case. You can put the phone/case in with the screen facing in, or out, has indents on both sides. I dont care much for the way tab over the top of the belt clip is designed. It gets in the way when you are trying to put the holster on, or take it off. I actually try pressing that to open the clip all the time, which of course doesnt open the clip, thinking of cutting it off actually.
I only ordered this as its one of the few side clip holsters I have found, it does the job, but at the end of the day its just a so-so $9 case/holster.
Hoping something much better comes along.
EDIT: so out of curiosity, I tried the Venoro case in the holster, falls right out. The AIFENG case is wider than the Venoro. The Venoro is the same as the CoverOn/LK/Aliliber/Zenic/etc. and just about all the other ones you can find on Amazon since before the phone actually launched. All made by the same factory, just rebranded.
That's what I'm doing too, this is a placeholder until the good ones come out. Thanks for the info.
I'm a 32 year old professional, had a holster for my phone for last 15 years. having trouble finding a good one for XL2. Hopefully this ties me over until the other one ZMAN called our attention to in another thread ends up taking pre orders!
good find. i ordered the cheap camo case. i usually order it for my new phones until a better holster comes out. i hate the holster where the phone has to slide out instead of clip in and out. i will definitely order this. never had good luck keeping holsters alive but the cases they usually come with are more protective. so thank you.

Anytime. I really think we need to have a separate thread for just holster stuff since most of us holster people are so particular.

I'm using a Seidio holster for an iPhone 7 plus with a thin TPU case. Just have no use for a case that doubles the size of my phone.

Mind sharing pictures?
Length of the Seidio iPhone 7 plus holster is perfect. I can snap my phone in without opening the clip. Width and Thickness is a little wider (~1 mm) than ideal and the case does rattle just a little. With a previous phone, I warmed the lower corners with a lighter and bent them up a bit to tighten it.
About 40% of the bottom of the volume key is covered, but that's easy to trim if it's a problem. I haven't had a single problem with it on mine.
This was the cheapest iPhone 7 plus holster I could find: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7OUX4T/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
This is the case I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753CH9T5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01ks It's not labeled as a thin case so it's possible other TPU cases will fit a little tighter. I think the holster I was using for my Pixel XL was for the Note II and it was looser, but too short for my XL 2.
I'd buy it again in a flash.

Me neither.
Thank goodness there's not a case in existence that does that. This case will add a few millimeters in each direction.
Besides, top clamp holsters suck.
So the three of these showed up and I've been trying them out, pretty terrible all around.
1. The case, while on the phone, rattles around in the holster.
2. The buttons are terrible and hard to press when in the case.
3. Several of the edges are poorly finished.
4. It is actually difficult to get out of the holster with one hand. I'm right handed, and keep the phone on my left hip upside down. Trying to get it out of here just sucks.
5. The huge paddle that looks like it clamps the holster to the case doesn't. There are 2 sharp prongs on that clamp that hold onto 2 spots on each side of the holster. These are going to break sooner than later or wear out and bam, no more holster.
I'm going to keep one of them and return the other two. With some foam tape, the rattling will go away, but it is not a good holster. Look elsewhere.
Looks like Seido has the surface/holster combo available. Been using that combo on most of my phones going back aways. Was going to buy the LGV30 but now reconsidering because Seido says they are not making a case/holster combo for it.

10/23/2010 edit: I no longer recommend these cases. Neat idea, but they just don't last. If you want a thin case I'd go pure TPU. Personally I'm now using the Otterbox Commuter and not looking back. Excellent case.
Just ordered these 2 bad bays... they are called hybrid cases. found the link in another thread here on XDA. The back is made out of hard Poly Carb and the sides are made out of soft TPU. I picked em up on ebay... so what do you guys think? i'm pretty pleased. the TPU is very soft so the buttons are very very easy to press compared to other TPU cases I've used. Only problem I see is the PC back will probably scratch up quicker then a full TPU case would. The white & clear makes the white evo look how HTC should of made it look. kinda strange that they made the sides black on the white evo.

Blue & Clear Hybrid (sorry, out of focus)
Very nice. How tight is the fit? Will the case come off if I slide the phone in my back jean pocket?
Very nice. Mine should be here tomorrow. I love white cases.
Yes these are VERY nice cases! I just got mine in the mail last week. Ordered from Ebay Store Monster Accessories. The Cool part is... if you take off your original cover.. then you get all red!! Its pretty nice!
Looks good. Glad the buttons are easy to press. I ordered a black with smoke back that should be here any day.

definitely not. that's the only down side to the case so far actually, its not the easiest to take off.

looks pretty good! i think i like it with the white better though. I hope the Poly Carb back doesn't scratch up my battery cover, I've only used TPU before and that's too soft to scratch a phone, but PC definitely could. I'll keep my eye on it.

And you have no problems with the power or volume button? My frosted white TPU from evocase was great except for the button problem. Its just too hard to press. Also can you give a link so I could order the correct one. Many thanks.
sorry to ask but how much did it cost you?
mines cost 8.95 free shiping because after i saw this thread i looked on ebay and there where very expensive.
the link i bought it from is this one http://cgi.ebay.com/CLEAR-White-Sof...30415250927?pt=PDA_Accessories#ht_2989wt_1137
Be careful with these.. I have the clear/white model shown at the top. 2 days after geting them, there are stress cracks by the hole for the camera and the speaker. I called daydeal to rma and return then figured out its not worth it and just keep the one I got
just ordered mine, looks like exactly what im lookin for.
Juss. Order this case from the same site these are gorgeous... can wait till it comes
Sent from my Evo 4G ZoOm ZoOm!!
Man that's just ugly! What's wrong with just black?
Just an FYI, daydeal.com has an ebay store as well and you can save around 2-4 by buying from there instead. I just got the hybrid red and clear case for $9.50.
stores.ebay.com/daydealdaydeal <-- not a typo
does this case protect the cammera lens?
Trying to decide between this or a full TPU case to replace the Innocase II.
Any idea how this case would fit in the Innocase holster?
Got mine with the black border and smoke back today. Overall I am very pleased. Pressing the power and volume buttons is as easy if not easier than without a case at all. I love the look because you can see the HTC and sprint logos through the back. It will likely scratch easier though. The biggest downside is it's not as snug around the sides as I would like. Specifically I have a bulge on the upper left side that doesn't fit snug against the side. Could be just the one I got though.

I got a clear on clear and the fit is great. it fits snugly, camera is recessed, kickstand has a 1 mm border unprotected, but its not a dealbreaker. i didnt want the kind without the individual speaker/flash/camera cutouts. this one has them. i also didn't want one of the kind with the diamond pattern. i like this case a lot. Purchased Friday, recvd Monday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400143134032
4.99 free shipping.
***Note - I am not a case fan, but I'm a klutz. My requirement was a 100% clear, non bulky case. I searched for over an hour and my choices were out of the one i got, and a 100% clear all TPU case. I feel that maybe the all tpu would have fared better in a drop. (This is the closest I could find to what I wanted... not 100% clear but close, with individual cutouts http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Evo-Flexi-Skin-Case/dp/B003X6BVX8/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1281690779&sr=1-47) I love my case, and in the end I think it looks less cheap than the 100% TPU.***

All I know is that my Innocase II Blows! It's loose and a bit bulky. I think I'm going to test drive one of these. Oh..and I paid freaking 26 bucks for the Seido!
This is my final question about a case for my Evo, Im down to the Seidio Innocase II Surface and the Active which case will be the better choice? I red a couple reviews about the active not fitting correctly and i heard horror stories about the surface scratching the edges
I love my blue Seidio Innocase II Surface Case (looks purple on amazon)... Fits tight, no play. I have to go slow when I put it on so that I don't lift up the edge of my invisashield.
I think my case is the active and I hate it. The back has started to peel and a corner broke like it came unglued. I'm going to get an otterbox instead I think.

Looks like you have the innocase active limited edition, available only through amazon. I have the same and the plastic skeleton doesn't fit 100% perfectly, but it's not bad. I too had some clips (top and bottom right) break off, but mine gets banged up a lot while i'm at work so I wasn't too surprised.
The regular innocase active looks like the skeleton has been enlarged to prevent the clips from breaking.
I just ordered an otterbox commuter case and a seidio innocase rugged combo.
Personally, I like having the combo of a hard shell with the soft cushion of the silicone.

I had the exact same thing happen, but sedio did honor the warranty. Just a thought.
I bought the PT brand from Best Buy today and I believe it is the same as the surface. It is made by Seidio but labeled differently.
I love it. Doesn't add much bulk and feels good in the hand.
Well maybe I'll give them a call about the warranty. I like the overall case design just disappointed in the flaws I've had with it so far. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm in the same boat, my rugged has had the corners break off both on my case and my wife's.
I don't think I want to pay for the shipping to replace it through warranty though...I think I may just wait for TridentCase to make a Kraken case for the Evo.
Well, just got the seidio rugged case today and i'm really not impressed. Basically a larger version of the active limited edition. The plastic skeleton seems better quality though. Cheap port covers. My suggestions to seidio: take the rugged and shrink it to fit without the surface. Then make the belt clip so the phone can be inserted face in AND face out and reconfigure the top latch to be smaller/smoother.
Long story short, I switched back to my active limited while I wait for the trident cyclops and the otterbox commuter cases that I ordered to arrive.
Ps: I noticed that the exoskelleton from the rugged fits PERFECTLY over the one from the active limited.

No problems with my innocase active I got from eBay, I've seen a lot of people complaining about the limited edition one Amazon sells, very happy with mine though, and ebay had it cheaper than seidio's website. The otterbox isn't bad but only comes in one color I think.

Hate to be a bother, but anyway you or anyone can post pictures of their Active case? I'm on the fence about buying one, and if I do it'll be the Active case with holster combo.
Seidio says the camera does not touch any flat surface with the case, and it actually looks as if it doesn't add TOO much bulk to the phone like some others, and a couple of the Otterbox's I was looking at fall into that category.

The camera does not touch on a flat surface.
The case adds very little bulk, but it will sure seem like it does when you hold the evo naked after using it a while. Same for any case of this type.
I have the regular active (not the LE with smaller outer shell) and the rubbery outer coating has worn off in the corners like in the pics of the LE that were posted. I'm sure this is due to my using it in a snug leather case, and is confined to the corners. No big deal to me. You can only tell if you look closely.
As far as fit goes, it is snug and well designed. Button use is as good as naked. Only complaint is dust builds up slowly on the left side where the outer shell fits into the soft inner layer. I take it apart and rinse the soft layer off every couple weeks.
My phone has taken several 3ft drops (off desk, out of shirt pocket while tying shoe lace) and is completely unharmed.
Is it the best case in the world? Maybe not, but it is comfortable to hold and protects the phone very well.
If this one were to break, I may try the otterbox but I'm not parting with it any time soon.
The pictures on Seidio's web site are better than what I could send you.

fanboy much?
I have the New Blue/Black Active Case and i LOVE it it fits perfectly its easy to take off if you need to swap batteries or put it in a dock, the new STyle Active is very durable doesn't crack easily.
Ive had mine for months now and the only visable issue with the back is where the Seidio name is its rubbing off from being set down and rubbed against other than that it's great it fits perfectly doesn't shift no gaps nothing.
the pictures they posted for the active in the beginning of this post is from the Active LIMITED it was their trial run before they changed it to the new Style
This is The New Active Case
Came across these by accident. I LOVE THEM! I was looking at the cases available for the Infuse, and found this odd brand by the name of Ballistic making a case for it. I became jealous and Googled them. Google took me to their website which I discovered, OUR PHONE is supported!

Just emailed them to let me know when they are available. I have the otterbox defender and while I usually recommend them, the one for the atrix has issues. I'm on my second outer silicone part, and this one doesn't fit right either. The bottom corners bulge away from the inner plastic part, which makes them come off pretty easy.

The cases happen to be made right here in Fort Lauderdale on the other side of town. I may go get one on Monday. I have the Commuter case which I like, especially since the ports and earphone jack have covers to keep out dust and dirt and the case is easy to get on and off. I dunno if the ballistic has covers and there are no pictures of the front i can find but the design and colors look nice and I am sure the protection is good. Anyone get one yet?
Damn that thing looks thicker then my otterbox defender case. I like the color schemes though. Does it come with a holster? I have to use the holster with my defender case, just to hard putting it in my pocket.

Got my Ballistic SG
Well I recieved my Ballistic SG in the mail today, got it off ebay for $22 bucks! I haven't bought a lot of cases for my Atrix yet, I tried a Otterbox Impact on launch day and was disappointed with that. This case however feels extremely tough, My brother has the Otterbox Commuter, which i thought was awesome untill this one showed up. It feels very solid, The ports on the side are left exposed, as well as the speaker grill. The space for the fingerprint sensor does feel a slight bit cramped when swiping downwards, I may have to re-enter my prints to get it to read more accurately, but for now it doesn't seem to affect it too much. I've only had it for about 30 minutes but so far i'm impressed. The case doesn't slide around on the phone (though that may be in part to my invisible shield). The rubber/silicone layer does attract dust, but overall I'm happy with my purchase. I attached a few pictures if anyone's interested.

Not a bad looking case ya got there... is it rubber or plastic or both?
Edit: so the grey is rubber, red is plastic?
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
Yeah, the black part is rubber, the red is plastic, with a weird layer of black, that feels like slightly rubberized plastic. After using it for a few hours now I'm still satisfied with it. Definitely feels more solid than my brothers commuter case. Now to wait for the HC to be released and try that sucker out.
Dude, that's freaking sweet looking. Can't wait for the HC cases to be released.

Can you please drop your phone from the second or third floor while it's in the case and if nothing happens can you drop it without a case? I just want to check how though is the case before investing in it.

epic !
I like it! May replace my Commuter, even though I couldnt be happier with the OB.
covered ports
I did not buy this case (yet). It looks really similar to the Commuter case as the designs are the same///a soft rubber held on with a hard plastic. However, the ports are not covered on this one. On the commuter both ports are covered in addition to the earphone jack. Someone here reported dust on the inside of the screen and it may have entered thru the earphone jack? On my wish list is a case with a built in stand.

Anyone got this case? It seems awfully similar to an Otterbox Commuter, but possibly less bulky due to the silicon an acrylic portions being joined as one. I was just wondering how it compares as far as shock/drop protection.
**Update 6.29.12**
Got my phone and case yesterday and here's my review on it
Not gonna be long winded here, just short and to the point. The silicone sleeve fits perfectly although the lack of the hard plastic shell extending over the top and bottom parts of the sleeve do allow for the sleeve to be pushed back in those areas if you were to say, put the phone in the pocket of your skinny jeans. Glad I don't have to worry about that as nothing about me is skinny, not even my jeans. Once the sleeve is on, the hard plastic shell snaps into place much easier than that of the Otterbox, and you don't have to worry about trying to get the shell over the buttons like on the Otterbox either. The shell has a matte look and feel to it, looks very sexy and feels good too but the finish is a bit too smooth/slippery IMO. The Otterbox on my Atrix 2 was just plastic and it was much less slippery when holding it. The thing that surprised me the most is how little bulk it adds to the phone and how little lint the silicone sleeve attracts. I wear cargo pants at work, cream colored one's, and I keep the phone in one of the side pockets...the sleeve on my Otterbox would attract lint from them, although it was cleaned away by simply blowing on the effected area right quick. I've had this phone in and out of my pocket all day and it's relatively lint free. With the case all installed the power and volume buttons are very easy to press, even allowing you to hear and feel the "click" of each press, it feels as if you don't even have anything covering the buttons. The cut outs for the charger/headphone jack ports and the microphones are precise and spot on allowing unobstructed access to them all.
The only things I would change is I would make the shell a different texture, something with a bit more grip and I'd add covers/plugs for the charger/headphone jack ports so they are protected when not in use. Other than that, a great case that hopefully won't get tested for durability anytime soon
I'd recommend this case for sure, it's sleek and sexy and adds to the look of this sexy beast of a phone. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 9.
i just ordered one yesterday.

Well as soon as you get it on your phone take it outside and drop it so we can see how durable it is
Seriously though, do post a review once you get it
LOL,
I'll keep you posted....
Sounds good.
Where did you get it, from them directly or somewhere else?

+1. I've got an otter box commuter on my captivate and after trying several cases, I kept coming back to the commuter. If this is similar and only one piece, I'd be very interested in it for my future phone (s3)

That's the NGP case.. your thread title says Silicryllic which is $29.99.

I checked out some videos on youtube and this case is pretty much their version of the Otterbox, the main difference is this one doesn't have covers for the charger and headphone jacks. Check the video
I think i'm gonna get this case instead of the Otterbox. I liked the Incipio case I had for my Sony Ericcson x10i and since the Otterbox isn't set to be released until July I figured this would be the way to go. Amazon has them for $24.38 shipped
Just ordered mine, should be here by the time I get my phone
Tracking info rcvd! These guys dont play around! At this rate the case is gonna beat the phone

Does anyone have experience with both the SILICRYLIC DualPro Hard Shell Case with Silicone Core and the NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case?

These were both linked previously. I just wanted to put them here for ease of viewing.
I like how the NGP is thinner and less bulky but don't know if it will provide enough drop protection.
I've had a Silicryllic on a Gnex and HTC Titan...
Very good case for protection, definitely will take a pretty big hit as it has some give in it to absorb shock. Also gives the screen some decent face down protection too as it comes around the side better than most hard cases. It's no defender, but it's much more pocketable on those two 4.7" devices.
The only issue I ever had was the rubber catches more pocket lint than most cases, but that's just a quick cleaning every week or two, or just hit the shirt once a day with it.
EDIT: I'll probably get one for this eventually as I like to have a thin everyday case (already ordered a Rock quicksand) to protect against everyday scratches when setting it down/falling out of hand, etc, and a bulkier one for events, outdoor stuff, or just yardwork/housework/garage days.
Thanks for the link! I was about to pull the trigger on this Candyshell by Speckproducts but they are out of stock of the black so I ended up buying the Incipio instead.

No problem...sharing is caring :good:
Another new holster/case combo is available that we pushed for. This one is nice and slim for folks that need that and says it comes with a screen protector.
Update: now available in a light blue and gray other than the usual black.

$14.97 on Amazon via Prime. Looks pretty good.
@Cowbell_Guy , this is for you...
Wow, yeah I agree that was perfect compact what I've been looking for! Just wish I knew a little bit more about that company. Either way I'm going to take a flyer on it I will order it let you guys know.
Thanks!

Good company, quality stuff.
Lol at some of their other products for reviews.
Probably not when you're going to want to hear it but there are two new versions of this case, one in a nice light blue and one in a gray color. I will grab the links throw them up later.
It's my birthday and my wife is making me cinnamon rolls.

All good, I dig the black one. I think mine is supposed to arrive sometime this weekend. I will be sure to post a review.
Interesting. For $15 I'd give it a shot.

My case arrives today. Haven't used it enough to say for sure, but I think that this is going to be a keeper. It is definitely the most low profile case of any that I've tried so far. That, on top of the side loading holster that is designed to be worn on the right hip, makes this a winner and easy to use.
Will post a full review after more testing, but very pleased so far. Thanks to Zman for the recommendation!
I ordered one from Amazon. I got the black one. I'll try it out and let you guys know what I think. I have been using the Google fabric case, and I really like the look and feel, but it's a dust magnet and I want a holster.

Why do you say that it's designed to be worn on the right hip? Doesn't the belt clip swivel? I am happy with my Seidio Surface case and holster that I wear horizontally on my right hip, but the bottom of the case is too thick to work on my Seidio desk dock. The low profile of this one might let it work, but I want to be sure I can wear it the same way.

It swivels, but only 180 degrees. Not a full 360 degrees like some that I've had in the past. I had to be Sido surface case as well, and while it fit on my right hip fine, I can't remember if it's span the full 180 or 360.
Regardless, if you like the phone on your right hip, this will be a great case for you. I've tried about 5 different ones so far and while this one isn't perfect, it's the best I've found. It's very smooth and low profile. It doesn't feel quite as nice in your hand as some of the others, but I think that maybe with some wear and tear over time it will be a little bit easier to grip.

Thanks for the information. I had assumed my Seidio holster rotated a full 360, but I just checked and it only rotates 180 degrees too. I don't see why it can't be used on the left side though. It will swivel from horizontal right, to vertical, to horizontal left. It can't rotate to upside down, but I don't think anyone would carry it that way anyway.
As long as it is thinner than my Seidio case, I'll try it out and hope it works in my Seidio dock. I don't have Amazon Prime so I'll see if it qualifies for Free Shipping Friday or find something else to get over the $25 minimum.
Just got this case in, and put it on. It's very slim, and the active edge works fine. My only complaint is that it is slippery. Hopefully it holds up well.

Is it like dangerously greasy slippery or just a little slick? All of my Seidio cases are relatively smooth with no real texture, but I have never worried about them slipping out of my hand.

It's just a little slick. It's a plastic case with a rubberized coating. It's not grippy like the rubber coating on the Nexus 5X though. I actually have had the Studio surface case for my original Pixel, so I know what you mean. I would say this is about the same.

I would agree with everyone else who has suggested that it is a little slippery. I think that is my only gripe. It's not dangerously slippery although I'm hoping it with time use and just a little bit of wear and tear it gets to be more gribbable
I just ordered the one from here, but this one by the same company looks like it has more texture plus the top and bottom of the case are open. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077GBRJ17/

My dad has that one. The texture adds slightly to the grip, but it's got the exact same coating on the plastic. I didn't go with that one because I didn't like that the top and bottom of the phone are open.
