I have an extended battery back and a bumper case that I modified with a dremel tool to give a little protection.
I am looking for a belt clip to click it into. Right now I am using one I got off of amazon that came with a separate back. That one is a sliding belt clip.
I wold like one that I can just click it into place. Like the Lifeproof for Iphone.
Also waiting for a bumper case that works well with the extended battery.
Thoughts?
Sorry for the vague description.
I have read that some people are using the SLZF aluminum bumper and the Mugen extended battery.

As for the clip, how about one of these?

Ok I been looking for a good protection for my phone since I'm going to return the horrid Otterbox Defender. Too many problems.. sharp edges, screen in portrait can't type anything on the edge of screen, belt clip plastic is thin and cheap broke the little clip that holds the holster open to double as a kickstand.
Can someone recommend me a good case with holster that does not limit typing but does have a holster. A holster is a must but I can always get a $13 dock to hold the phone up instead of a kickstand for my desktop http://www.ezestand.com/index.html.
Not sure. I also need a holster for work, and it must be tough case. I have the Defender and love it, but I will buy the Ballistic HC when it's released. Check it out if you haven't already. If you want just a holster, check eBay.

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH-i777) with a TPU case which slightly increases its overall dimensions. Looking for a belt holster with a decent clip that is large enough to hold this. I was leaning towards the Nite-Ize "Clip Case Sideways" in the Large size, but I'm not even sure that would be quite big enough (I sure do like the Nite-Ize belt clip, tho'):
Any suggestions ?

Belt clip holster for Otterbox commuter
(⊙＿⊙)
Thanks, I found that when I was searching the forum for answers before posting myself. But what I'm looking for is more of a ballistic nylon or leather holster with a flap that covers the phone when it's on my belt - thus my initial look at the Nite Ize product.
Appreciate the effort, tho'
I also have my SG2 in a case, although I bet mine is a little thicker as I am using the SGP Linear Color case. However I picked up a pleather holster case at Target for about $15. It's made by Case Logic. Unfortunately I don't know the model number or anything like that. They are not boxed, so you can easily try it out if you have a Target store in your area.

I use this case: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SGH-i777-Horizontal-Executive-Magnetic/dp/B005NABFRO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1339204574&sr=8-7
I don't use a TPU case with it however I believe there is enough space to accommodate one. The i777 is a bit loose inside the case - I suspect the case was designed for the slightly larger i9100. I will try to take a photo tonight showing how much space is between the case and the phone, if you are interested.

I had a Nite-Ize holster case 10 years ago for my Casio Cassiopeia E125 Pocket PC. I loved that case. The belt clip snapped close; when open the belt clip turned into a upright stand. However ... the velcro goes out after a year or so. I had another non-Nite Ize case with a velcro flap - did the same thing. Velcro was useless after a year. Magnetic closures are much better in this regard.

I just bought the Mobo Carrera slim Horizontal case (for the Galaxy Nexus) and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. It fits the LTEvo nice and snug. The phone doesn't budge at all, especially when shaken vigorously. Also magnet doesn't come off when turned upside and shaken hard. The case is nice and slim to complement the slimness of the LTEvo. The interior is outlined in red leather (sort of complements the phone as well). The belt clip is made of metal (but covered in leather) and swivels but the swivel is rigid and doesn't move with little force with is good to me; stays in the position it is set to. Has the opening at the bottom to allow you to push the phone up to easily remove it.
If you are interested in a horizontal case, then this might be the one for you. Just google Mobo Carrera Horizontal case Galaxy Nexus; amazon has it here Mobo Carrera Horizontal Carrying Case. Other site sell it as well.
I bought 2 more slim cases and I'll write about them here as well when they come in this coming week.
I am looking into a belt case.... Waiting for your review

Well I didn't keep the other two cases. One was too big for the LTEvo that the phone flopped around in the case. That was a killer for me, so I didn't even bother to give it another thought.
The other one is the one pictured below. It was a case for the Galaxy Nexus so it didn't really fit all that well. Don't get me wrong the case was well designed but the dimensions were just short of fitting the LTEvo. The LTEvo was hanging out of the case. If they make one specifically for the LTEvo, it would be worth investing in it.

If you don't mind my asking, what cases were the ones that were too big? Also do you think they'd fit the Evo with a silicone or TPU case on? Thanks!
Ditto to the above I like a gorm fitting holster but I never go out without a case. For work I use the Otterbox commuter with the seido active holster but for regular use, I use a thin TPU case. I have yet to find a holster that is thin and long enough to fit the phone with a TPU case.
Any suggestions?

Do you know the brand? I went to Walmart and they had nothing that fit.

The seidio surface holster fits the tpu covered evo like a glove. This is what i use.

I bought my dad a side clip holster from siedioonline and he was ecstatic with it.
Even I loved it, and I really dislike holsters in general.
I'm looking for suggestions for a thin case for my Pixel that will fit in a belt holster. I'm currently using this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG4BBX1/
but the case is pretty thick, around 3.5mm. All of the ones in that style have a kickstand on the back, which adds to the thickness.
I see Seidio makes a Surface which they say is 2mm thick, quite a bit thinner. I've never had one, and am not sure about the TPU inner part covering the buttons, wondering if it messes up the feel.
https://www.seidioonline.com/product/google-pixel-surface-case/
Any comments on the Surface for this (or other) phones, or suggestions for a thin case/belt holster set?
I use a Google Live Case with a vertical leather belt pouch like this one. Works well for me.
I thought about the Seidio Surface, but don't like kickstands.
I can recommend the Supcase that comes with a belt clip but it's not the thinnest thing in the world - definitely a thicker heavy duty case. No kickstand though.
On that note, I'd be happy to mail you the belt clip if you wanted it if you paid for shipping, as well as test my various cases first to see if any are compatible with it. Just let me know. (My wife uses the case but not the belt clip.)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had bad luck with phones sliding out of that type of case (running with the dog or working under a car).

Thanks, but I have a belt clip for it without a case (think it's encased brand, ironically).
I decided to order a Surface and give it a try. Showed up today. The TPU part is a lot thinner than I was expecting. I'll post some thoughts on it after I've had it a few days.
I have the Surface case with holster and I like it. It's not too think, but still protective. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it didn't break

What's the verdict?
I had one like this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXDYKP7) on my Galaxy S6 and Moto Z, but would like a little protection on the Pixel.

That's the holster I was using when I didn't have it in a case. I liked it, but decided to stick with a case. Phone was a little too slippery for me without one.
I ended up returning the Seidio case/holster. For one thing, it was more difficult to get in and out of the holster, although it probably would have loosened up over time. Some of the headphones I have didn't fit the jack with it on, and the lip around the front made it more awkward to use. A lot of it came down to I just didn't think it was anywhere near being worth the price. For me anyhow. I see Amazon has a like new one right now for $21 though.
I'm still using the case/holster combo I linked to in the first post, and it's protected the phone from a few fumbles drops just fine.
I have the Encased case with clip, it's okay. Anyone have any other recommendations for a case/clip combo? Thinner is better, and preferably a top clip release,not center (the way I wear it).
Thanks
Best or one of the best is OtterBox Defender Pro. I use it and love it! It's certainly not thin but it's about the best protection you can buy. I accidentally knocked phone off kitchen table onto a concrete floor first day I had it. The case didn't even get scratched. So obviously the phone didn't either.
Supcase UB pro just as good as otterbox defender,way cheaper.
I used to get the Seido (Best buy used to sell them rebranded with their Platinum name) but have given up since I have so many cases that just don't fit the holder.
I use a holster instead which will securely hold any phone/case combo including no case!
I've been using this one for the past two years with no problem whatsoever.

It's cheap and just works. It can clip on a belt or if you want it secure you can thread your belt through it and it's going nowhere. I climb towers and the last thing I need is to have it fall 100s of feet. No case is going to prevent it from being trashed if that happens!

I ordered the encased holster and otter box commuter case, just got the holster and will have the case Friday. I let you know how it is. Currently using the otter box defender, I have the holster with the middle clip. Always used the seidio cases but I guess they're gone.
