Since I work Landscape construction and am in dirt and equipment all day I need a holster that can hold up to tough times. Plastic holsters and metal clips just don't cut it for me they break day one usually. I found this company that makes decent leather products and ordered one.https://www.moonshineleather.com/productdetails.cfm?productcode=Cel7-H

I went with the olive drab but there are other colors as well.
They offer holster options that will fit a Note 2/3 with an otter-box case as well. Since this is such a large phone to begin with I'm gonna try to go without an otterbox case but just a cruzerlite rubber one for now. Just received mine in the mail yesterday. My Galaxy Nexus is a bit loose in it so it should work good with the Note 3 once it arrives. Very well made and durable construction. My only concern is it doesn't cover the phone 100% there are cutouts in the bottom corners for access to push the phone up with a finger to aid in removal. This will allow dirt and debris to get in. I may have to improvise some inner liner that will close those off.

I bought the OSF as my main work phone and needed a decent quality case with a belt clip to go with it. I spotted that the Droid Incredible was almost the same size as the OSF/Blade and Tuff-Luv have a case for that model so I ordered one hoping it would be close enough that I could make it fit.
No worries, the case arrived today, the fit is as near perfect as it could be! and as a bonus the belt clip stud fits my Krussel multidapt system perfectly. The phone is held firmly in place by the two side panels (the Incredible is meant to be 2mm wider so it would have been a very tight fit) the flap closes over properly and will pull down to expose the camera lens for taking photos. Two possible reasons why you might not like this case are, the vol down button is covered by the side panel, see pic1 and the headphone socket/power button are covered by the flap when closed pic3, neither one bothers me so that's ok

/edit - As always, the Tuff-Luv quality is excellent!
nice case.
i'm searching something similar like this.
http://cgi.ebay.es/Genuine-Leather-...123926?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item53e4df4896
perhaps will be compatible?.
I like wearing a leather pouch on my belt to hold my phone. More accessible and more protected than a pocket and more reliable than a holster. I don't care that I look like a geek.
I was having great difficulty finding one that would hold my EVO LTE with a TPU and/or more rugged case.
Just received these two (sorry no time for pics with EVO in case) and they both work.
Extra Large

Adjustable
I prefer the first (Extra Large) one. It's a bit taller and has the extra loops to thread a large belt through.
Fits this case and even this one. I like the TPU case better for day-to-day (you can hardly tell it is there) but like the other as an inexpensive rugged case.
Where
where did you order those from???
Thanks
Ordered from the website where all the links in the OP go.
Does the elte slip in and out easily wil your tpu case?

The case came from Amazon UK but is available on eBay and probably other places as well, it came with a couple of screen protectors, a mini stylus and a small cleaning cloth. It's very lightweight which is good, the inner phone holder section is a gel type case to which the outer cover is attached. It doesn't feel very substantial and I'm not sure of it's survivability in my pocket over time but for now and until Seidio or Otterbox come up with something better, it will do the job.
I've had it a few days now and it has it's good points but I'm liking it less all the time. It feels plasticky and cheap although it does protect the phone as well as any case of this type could. I'm a lefty and the wrap around magnetic closure is awkward for me to use (not Safvys fault)
Pictures below show the case, the last ones with the phone in it, one showing the Sview section in operation and the other shows the anti glare screen protector I've fitted. I prefer these although they do add a bit of graininess to the screen.

Needs a credit card slot, then it would be perfect
I have bought 4 cases of different materials and styles. Figured I would share my thoughts and some pictures of them.

bamboo case- http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GJCHO0W/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit
this case is well made. It fits snug and the feeling of it is good. The hole for the sensor on the bottom right of the phone is not there though. It is has a slight cut out where the camera would slide against the case. I absolutely love this case, and for the price it is worth it.
Siedio Surface
So many reviews already, that I won't say much. To get it off is a pain. Easiest way.... squeeze the top half of the case and push towards the bottom half of the case, while pushing down on the finger indicator on the bottom half. Then pull apart
Incipio Watson
love the design of this leather flip case. Very appealing to the eyes. Love the light blue strap it.
Celljoy Hybrid case- http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GHUSKNG/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit
This case is okay. It has some sharp corners on the s pen cut out. The over all feel and design I like. Colors are awesome. Don't mind how loose the hard part looks, on the device it is not loose at all.
According to my digital calipers, the stock devices 9.76 mm. With the case it is 13 mm.
3.24mm thicker with the case. The front lip that protects the face is probably half of that.
Here's more pics...

The plastic portion isn't painted, it is colored plastic. These cases fit in the holsters that come with other super cheap cases just fine (I always use a holster, $700 piece of electronics in my pocket? No...). The quality is as good as it looks, quite amazing. No creaking, no gaps, no looseness (silicone case portions often get loose), just gravy.
The case is a TPU inner with a stiff plastic outer. The case will NOT pop off because the plastic outer portion actually goes all the way around the edge locking it in place. My wife and I love these so far, great feel, great looks, and still keeps the natural ergonomics of the phone.
$9.99 shipped on Amazon.

For anyone interested in the holster I'm using, it is the one from this setup.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KL80TDO/
It was $5.99 when I bought it. Absolutely perfect fit.
Thanks for the review and information! I was very curious about these cases....
Not a problem. Had my first minor drop with it today and no problems at all. Didn't even scratch the case.
