I just bought a $3 (with shipping) plastic case with belt clip on Ebay, and it was a bust. Its securing clip locks into the detent for the battery cover and the only way to remove the phone from the case is to wrestle it loose, and in most cases the battery cover pops off in the process. Unacceptable.
I only need a cheap case for the gym, something that gives access to the earphone jack and has a belt clip. I would also like for the phone to be removable easily. Any other time and the phone stays in my pocket. Any recommendations?
Why not try one of the arm band pouches that people always put their iDevice in?

You get what you paid for.

If you don't have a case on your phone, check this out. More than 3 bucks but this is the type of thing you're looking for:
Can't hyper link, I'm apparently too new.
Search on amazon for "Seidio Spring-Clip Holster"
You really just need a holster.
i bought this case and really like it,

I got this case when I first got the phone. I wasn't sure I would like it. That was 8 months ago.
About a mount back, I took the clip off my belt and just dropped the clip on the floor in the bedroom. Somewhere in the process I stepped on it and cracked it. So at $7 I just bought two more (the cracked one actually still worked fine).
This case usually is great because of the texture that keeps it from slipping.
But just last night at work, I was carrying my phone and as I moved it from one hand to the other, it slipped. It went crashing to the concrete floor and slid about 8 feet. I can't find a mark on the phone or case anywhere. hard to believe but even the case is spotless from the fall to the concrete.
One of the best investments I have made right there.
Amazon/Verizon Holster
That Amazon/Verizon Holster is the same one I have. But I overpaid at Verizon. $20. Get it at Amazon. Verizon makes enough in overcharging. It is the exact same one. I really like it also. But I will warn you, this one too is a bit tough to get out of the holster without "popping the back. It is made to be snug. The brand Imprinted on mine is Qmadix. Hope this helps.

This. Ordered it with amazon prime yesterday and got it today. Also let me be the first to tell you I have tried just about every case, and this basic shell/holster always comes out best.

I got this a verizon for $20. Like another poster, I was really happy with it untol I stepped on the belt clip on the flor and cracked it. Found it on Anazon and bought two. This works VERY well IMHO. I've tried others, and always return to this.
I have been using the Platinum case with clip from Best Buy. I believe its the same as the Seido. Looks great, and has protected the phone well, and the clip is easy and convenient to use.
Shipping is double the cost of the holster! Are they still $20 at Verizon?
This was my favorite case for my Droid X! Always seemed to come back to this one bc of its size and it comes with a belt clip.
I have the platinum case that came with a belt clip that you can attach to the cover.
But it was about $30 if I remember.
I have never liked otter boxes holster so while trying to figure out what to do with it I decided to turn it into a GPS mount. I bout a GPS mount for about $5 off amazon then just duct taped the holster onto it and bravo! You now got a cheap and easy galaxy s 3 car mount.

I thought about doing the same thing with the Seidio holster because I like the hinged clip it has but the holster itself is so expensive
Haha, never thought of that now i finally have a use for that massive holster
Trident Kraken AMS.... no huge holster and a window mount made for the case is sold for $15 I believe.

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.
Here is the case I just got that fits well.
Cellet Bergamo Leather Case Holster
I already had an old holster from a previous phone that worked fine but I wanted just a pouch with no belt clip to slip in my pocket. This one has the the removable clip and the back is then completely flat which was perfect for me. I was using a $3 ebay slip in pouch for 4 months which is extremely thin but I wanted something just a tad thicker for the occasional drop.
I have had this only a few days but it is a snug fit which I like but it will loosen up a little based on past experience. One other note if you do get this and like the belt clip feature this one does not swivel but I think they sell replacements for this brand that might have other option.
I keep my phone naked and I do not think you could fit the phone in this case with a skin or anything else on it.
I received the PITAKA MagCase for the Google Pixel 2 XL along with the car vent and suction cup mount. I have an unboxing, overview and review of PITAKA products.
The MagCase is really thin. I have a Caseology Parallax with Seidio Holster and with the MagCase int he Seidio, it bounces around. That's how thin it is. It's as if the phone is naked. I also have the Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass installed and the screen protector and case work well.
I have a Seidio dash mount that comes with thin magnetic plates like the MagMount. For the Seidio magnet plate, I sandwiched it in between the phone and the Caseology Parallax case and it works with the MagMount without a problem. The same for the MagCase with Seidio dash mount.

what screen protector do you have on the pixel?
Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass. Only the best!!!
Thank you for the review! I purchased this using your referral link. I received it yesterday and I must say, I'm highly impressed with the quality and how sexy it makes the phone look. It's got a nice, non-slip feel and you won't even notice you have a case on.
Do yourself a favor and splurge as I promise, you won't be disappointed.

I've gotta ask as I just came Across this case. Does it have more of a soft plastic feel like that of the old Motorola phones? (Droid Maxx etc) or more of a slippery plastic feel like the most others?
I thought videos were supposed to all external links lest we turn our house of den of self advertising Myself I would much rather see links to YouTube instead of seeing the video's all over xda, I mean if we don't stop now don't we already get pounded enough on us in advertising. Just saying...Right. ?

It doesn't feel like plastic at all.
