I've been searching on and off for weeks and I cannot find a correctly sized vertical belt case for the S8. I have actually bought three such cases, non of which (despite the product descriptions) fits the S8 correctly. In fact, all are far too big for the phone. I used to buy Suncases for my phones, but they don't do one for the S8 as far as I can see.
PDair do one but it's open-topped and I prefer a closable flap over the top of the phone. Also the PDair one has a belt clip and I find a belt loop much more secure (ask me how I know this!).
Can anyone recommend a well-fitting S8 vertical belt case to me please?
Cheers.

Hi I currently have the Krusell Cabriolet for my 8125, which makes using it like a phone very simple. However, pushing it out to use the keyboard without opening a bunch of progams because I pushed buttons in the process makes this a little suboptimal. I don't like the book cases or flip cases because I want my screen uncovered for my own convenience (I have screen protector film and I'm satisfied with that level of protection).
After doing some research, I like the simple styling of the crystal clear case for the 8125 (see links below). Because it snaps on individually on both sides, there is no obstruction to opening the keyboard, and there is no flap over the screen. It is not as elegant as a leather case and not as bulky or heavy as an aluminum case.
My only issue is that it doesn't appear that it is sold with a belt clip. From the photos, it appears that there is an opening to attach a belt clip. I checked the Boxwave site and though they sell clear cases with swivel belt clips on other models, they don't do with some, including this one.
So finally...my question is, does anyone know whether I would be able to purchase a belt clip separately or (1) does this particular case not support a belt clip, (2) it would not be advisable to use with a belt clip even if it was possible, due to design issues (e.g., snap on case not that durable or snug a fit and phone might pop off, etc.)?

Do these plastic cases cover the screen? It seems they do not, but it is not obvious from the pictures.
They dont' protect the screen. I have one for my mda, and left it on there for like 5 mins. It makes an already bulky phone bulkier. Plus it just feels cheap, especially when you're sliding the keyboard open and shut. But I got it for $10 shipped, so whaddya gonna do? Check ebay for cheaper prices.
(This was with the MDA case...but maybe the 8125 is made with some true craftsmanship so as to avoid these problems )
Thanks just what I needed
Just wanted to say thanks I have been looking for a case like this.
Take care
Cases don't fit 8125
Regarding http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=2262, those cases fit MDAs but will not fit on an 8125. Although both have basically the same form factor, there are enough differences in the edges of the phones and mail/IE button locations that the case will not fit. I learned from experience.
Did anybody here buy the holster from the tmobile store that they have that the g1 supposedbly fits in?
its around 24$ i think.
It was closed by sort of 2 clip things.
i'm primarily looking for a horizntal belt holster...
any ideas?
i have the body glove, it is in that price range. love it if thats what your asking
Theres a magnetic one, that fits a sidekick, it's what i use.
Body Glove
I have the Body Glove also and it's great. Perfect for the person (like me) who is rough on phones. And it looks good too.
I purchased the crystal gel case from boxwave It covers the G1 completely and offers excellent protection for when you drop the phone. I also bought the niteize side belt case. It clips on your belt and the elastic allows it to expand enough for the phone with the gel case on it to fit.This case closes with velcro so there are no magnets to create problems.
I got the one from the T-Mobile store last week but it's not the up and down one. But I have to admit was worth the money (even though I didn't end up paying for it love the gf) The one I got sits sideways but very nice and fits the phone well. Was a little snug at first but about 2 days later the phone just slides in to the case very nice.

I talked to a TMO rep at the store and said no accessories for G1 should have any magnets due to the compass feature. He advised that if you are going to use an aftermarket case, to make sure it doesn't have any magnets. The case TMO sells are magnet free for the G1.
As for the holster, I have it and though it fits the phone snug, be careful as the screen is facing out so make sure you have a screen protector.
I just bought my G1 last 2 weekends ago with a tmobile store belt clip, fits perfectly, sturdy rotating clip for horizontal or vertical placement, gets annoying having to take it out to text or open keyboard but otherwise perfect...24$
the pleather tmo horizontal case with attached clip. it's soft but not screen friendly soft on the inside so the screen protector is a must. great product though.
One warning. If you have a tendency to forget to snap the buttons, make sure you're using a hard or jelly shell to make the phone fit snugly. the basic stretchy straps on the sides are just barely too long to make the phone 100% secure IMHO without it.
i personally like this one.

you can use it with the screen either facing out for in for screen protection.
I bought this one by Seidio. I had one just like it for my Blackberry 8820 and loved it. I love this one too.

Buy a bodyglove that has a belt clip for your g1 phone. You won't need to buy a suction cup or dash holder for your g1.
I clip it to my rear view mirror after pushing back the rear view mirror tab. Then I close the tab. Stays in place and very sturdy. It's even easier to see since it is under the rear view mirror and safer too!
I also can use the belt clip to hang the phone off my laptop. I don't clip it, just use the space between the glove and clip to hang it.
Also, the rubbery glove protects your phone if you drop it.
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.

Over the years my phone choices have caused me to consider alternative case manufacturers, first switching (from Otterbox Defender) to Seidio Dilex, then to Incipio Dualpro. Since Incipio didn't offer a holster, I had to search elsewhere for that, ultimately settling on the Seidio Dilex holster for a Galaxy S5 to go with my Dualpro-clad 2014 Moto X.
With my recent Galaxy S7 purchase I faced a similar dilemma. For various reasons, I decided on the Spigen Tough Armor case, and began my search for a holster. I found that the holster from the Platinum case/holster for the Galaxy S6 is a perfect fit. For those who don't know, Platinum is the Best Buy house brand, which I believe is manufactured by Seidio, and is nearly identical to the Seidio Surface model. I'm pretty sure the actual Seidio Surface holster would fit just as well, and that many similar cases would fit well in either holster.
As a bonus, the Tough Armor case appears to be symmetric (top/bottom and left/right, except for the port cutouts), and the phone fits just as well in the holster upside down. I prefer this way because it means I dint have to flip the phone around in my hand while putting in into, and removing it from the holster.
TL;TR - Spigen Tough Armor Galaxy S7 case + Platinum Galaxy S6 holster = perfect!

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.
