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.
Has anyone found a leather flip case for the Pure?
The only ones I've seen that even come near are over $50
which to me is just too damm much for a case
Heres my take on it
Many complain the Pures a "fingerprint magnet"
OK Maybe so but I can't really see putting the clear "helicopter rotor"
body armour shell, because the don't protect against inpact damadge only scratch damage.
A flip type case that is not removed (I don't want a pouch type)
is one hand to open and you don't need to put the case somewhere while using it.
It will protect both the body and screen against impact and scratching
Leather is reasonably smooth so it wont snag going in and out of my pocket
(like the silicon ones can) Its a little thinner than the silicon and hard rubber ones too. I think same or more durable than Silicone.
Taking it a step further I am normally not a big fan of the belt clip
prefer the pocket but have been thinking about a modular mounting system
where I cold move the clip directly to a car kit or desktop kit for charging
Using the locking swivel clips would allow for landscape or regular viewing
And since the clip is the mounting point not an indentation or cup,
you would keep the case on even in the mount. the cover would just be flipped opened to the top or side when in use.
Now I don't claim to have created the idea I've seen a nice one
for the Diamond2 and a few extra swivel clips could adapt most
any car and desk cradle or mounts.
I've attached one one Ebay thats for the Diamond looks pretty good
But I've bought too many cases for Diamond where the clip just won't stay attached to the Pure.
The mfr of this case recommend I wait a few weeks the Pure Case is
coming in then. Like to hear pro's and cons from anyone who has a similar
flip style case. Also like to hear pro's & cons on which side the flip cover is on
Side top or bottom? Ideally you could use the camera while in the case
without the flip cover obscuring the lens folding arrangement or maybe a
hole in front and back covers so you could fold front over rear cover?
Also possibly cover fastens in half open position so a quick desktop easel.
Any thoughts?? what am I missing (aside for individual preference)
I've obviously got too much time on my hands <BG> and there are
not enough actual cases for the Pure that are available for purchase .
I Love the Pure/Topaz
(running Duttys HGR1 Rom)
New to phones
Old to PCs and PPC (Ipaqs for years) and embedded micros
KJL
Heres the one for the diamond2 I was looking at
Item number: 200403300227
I like the mounting (leather straps not a clip)
But I think one with a side flip/ book style makes using the camera easiest
Arrrrgh! I'm wondering if anyone has found a (leather) flip case for the AT&T Tilt 2 they are happy with?
My phone is a little over a month old, and I'm getting desperate. I've been temporarily using a clear thing (case mate) AT&T sold me with the phone (it was all they had that would fit) until I found something that would work for me. I've been reading here, and finally took the plunge to get the Designio case discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584093
Unfortunately, either I got a bad case or I'm being too picky or whatever, but I'm not pleased.
My criticisms are:
The PTT button completely covered by the leather support piece (not sure that's what to call it, but there's a leather piece that runs along the left edge, or bottom with the keyboard open). The PTT button is still functional as long as I press the leather piece just right.
The plastic over the keyboard does not fit snuggly -- it bulges up about an eighth of an inch along the bottom of the keyboard (the left side of the phone), which is annoying enough when using the keyboard, but that bulge also keeps that edge of the phone from closing flat when then keyboard isn't out. I carry my phone in a dedicated pocket in my purse, and I'm constantly finding dust & such that gets under the loose plastic keyboard protector at the bottom of the keyboard (left side of the phone when the keyboard is closed) since there's a gap along that edge from the loose plastic. That's highly annoying for me.
#2 might not be much of a problem if the magnetic closure was snug, but it's not -- IMO, it's off by a little over a quarter of an inch. This allows the top cover to slide around enough that the screen isn't protected when the case is closed (particularly the bottom of both sides up about 2.5" and up to 1/2" in from the bottom corners). If the magnetic catch was appropriately placed, it could also eliminate the gap on the left side of the phone when the keyboard is closed.
Clearly, this isn't the perfect case for me. I thought perhaps I was being too picky, but the Krusell case for my old 8525 doesn't suffer from these problems.
So, if anyone has found a flip case (preferably leather, but that's not a deal breaker) for the AT&T Tilt 2 that doesn't suffer from these problems, please share
TIA,
Saundra
i'm not entirely happy with mine, but mine seems not to have the problems that you are finding wiht yours.
i use the Capdase case, http://www.capdase.com/en/product4.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=48, and it's a soft leather case that comes in two styles, either a "book"/side flip, or the top flip which i got.
main pro is that it uses small tabs on all 4 corners to clip on to the lower/keyboard half of the phone, allowing you full access to all buttons, the usb port, and the keyboard, without any plastic in the way. the tabs also seem to be more robust and likely to last longer than the seidio innocase tabs which i used on my kaiser. those tend to wear down and break off after about 2 years of use.
on the cons, i dislike the flap, which only has room to store 2 microsd cards and 1 extra sim card. i've already lost 1 sd card, though i am not 100% certain if it was my fault or the case (i was showing the phone to some friends the night i lost it). it also does not have any storage space for a credit card or similar, even though it would've been minimal cost to add one.
if only i could have the flap from your case, and the base of mine. then it'd be perfect.
Thanks for the input! It does sound as though we could have the perfect case with your base & my flap.
I'm in the US, and I couldn't find any retailers for that particular Capdase -- lots for iPhones. Of course.
It looks like I could maybe get it through eBay, which is good to know in case I just can't get the Designo to work for me.
Thanks again!

Noreve
I am using the Noreve case available at www.noreveusa.com I like it a lot. It too covers the push to talk button, but since I'm using a custom ROM it has no functionality anyway. The Piel Frama case I had for my Original Touch Pro, there was that darn plastic sheet covering the keyboard and frankly I think that sucks. Granted the noreve case is squirrely when the keyboard is open, but unless you are able to drive and text or ride a bike and text or a motorcycle and text, well you'd do better to spend your money on a funeral plan than a case. My only complaint about the Noreve case is the belt clip sucks. I am using an old Piel Frama belt clip since it fits my belt better. I also personally LIKE the looks of the larger Piel Frama TP2 case, but most have commented on how ugly it looks.
If you're crafty...
As we've come to realize, ATT has delivered the Tilt 2 in a state that requires serious hacks to make the simplest changes. In keeping with that line of thought, I've modified a clear plastic case and added a leather flap with a pocket for credit cards and memory stix. And - Unlike some commercial flaps, when this flap is closed, nothing can slide out of the pocket. Here's how you can too...
Note to Boy Scouts: I've included more detail below than many of you here may need. After buying the case, reviewing the pix and the dimensions, you may be able to fore-go most of the tedious instructions below.
PIX
I've posted a series of pix on photobucket (sadly, I'm too new and untrustworthy to provide direct links to them here). To review the photos:
1. Go to the PhotoBucket website.
2. Click the Drop-down arrow on the right side of the "Search" box and select "People" for the search type.
3. Search for my id, "fractalcracker". Zoom in to view the 5 photos in the default album.
Plastic Case
Two-Piece (front and back) Plastic Case from the ATT store: $29.99 (ridiculous, yes I know...). Find it online at the ATTWireless website by searching "Accessories" for part number "75525". The Back piece clips on to back of phone and allows you to access all buttons and slide open the keyboard. After adding this leather flap, you won't need the front piece of the case.
Leather Pocket Flap
The leather flap is similar to a wallet pocket. In fact you might be able to cut a wallet apart to make the flap. I'll give you directions to make this one by hand from a small piece of leather. If you don't have scrap leather, cut up your wife's (or your own) purse. Good luck with that one...
Leather Measurements:
You'll need a thin, pliable piece of leather 4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide. We'll cut 2 pieces as follows...
Outside flap piece:
3-1/4 inches wide from left to right.
4 inches high from top to bottom.
Pocket piece:
2-1/4 inches wide from left to right.
4 inches high from top to bottom.
Assembly
1. Cut leather pieces.
2. Lay the smaller (pocket piece) on the table so that what will be the 'hidden side' (inside of the pocket) is facing up. Align it so the narrow edge is closest to you.
3. Apply a thin bead of super-glue to the top, left and bottom edges of the pocket piece. The 4th, unglued side will be the opening of the pocket.
4. Lay the flap piece down on the table so the inside of the flap is facing up. Align it so the wide edge is closest to you.
5. Pick up the pocket piece and flip it over from left to right so the glue side is down. Align it above the right side of the flap piece and glue the 2 pieces together so the top, bottom and right edges are aligned.
6. To form the hinge, apply a thin bead of super-glue to the flap piece, running from top to bottom along its left edge (opposite the pocket).
For below - remember, we're only referencing the back side of the plastic case - not the front.
7. Lay the plastic case on the table, 'opening-side' up. Rotate it so the camera hole in the back cover is furthest from you. Slide the plastic case over so the right edge of the plastic case is aligned next to the left edge of the leather flap (pocket side up with pocket on the right side of the flap).
When we glue the flap to the case, we want the super-glued hinge joint to be about 1/16th inch below the face of the plastic case. That way, the leather flap will bend back enough to allow the phone screen to slide over it whyen you slide open the keyboard.
8. Stand the plastic case up by raising the left side and tilting it to stand on its right side. Align the right side of the case above the glue line on the left edge of the leather flap.
9. Press the right side of the plastic case down in place on the flap piece so the glue line on the leather flap is about 1/16th inch below the top face of the plastic case.
When it dries, press the phone into the plastic case and get on with your life!
May the force be with you...

Just ordered the Krusell flip case and then got the belt clip to go with it.
If you have any questions about these items then feel free to ask away and I'll tell you as much as I can as soon as it arrives.

KRUSELL MULTIDAPT LEATHER SWIVELKIT SWIVEL KIT 45 45MM BELT CLIP FOR CASE ORBIT
Clip
KRUSELL MULTIDAPT LEATHER SWIVELKIT SWIVEL KIT 45 45MM BELT CLIP FOR CASE ORBIT
Recieved my Krusell case the other day and its excellent in almost every way. The build quality is fantastic an even has that luxurious leather smell to it. Very strong and sturdy/well made case.
Flip cover folds downwards and can be slid off as well. I thought I wouldn't use the detachment feature but I use it all the time if I'm handling the phone a lot. You could even use the case completely without the flip cover and it would give you better protection than an Imak case (which I had first off).
It also has the option of a belt clip - which can be removed and Krusell has a lot of useful and different styled attachments. It comes with a alegator type belt clip that connects to the phone by a round plastic button attached to the case and this clip is a non swivel model - great for normal sized belts (thin/narrow).
I wear a combat style belt for work so I ordered the 45mm belt clip which slides onto the belt and can not come off without taking the belt off. The clip is a swivel clip and it clips in and holds super well.
Protects the phone very very well - there are holes etc but its made in such a way that its very hard for surfaces to come in contact with the phone at all. If you dropped the phone in this case it would be very well protected.
The cover looks as though it would probably outlive the phone.
The inside of the case is a soft suede leather which means that any dust or dirt getting in between the phone and the case is not going to act like sandpaper as in the hard cases - ie no scratching.
The only thing I noticed after a couple of days use is the the case loosened up slightly and the phone would move approx 1-2 mm out towards the top of the case making grabbing/sliding down the blind hard to access. I solved this by some double sided tape inside the case. I peeled off one side of the tape and stuck it to the inside of the case then slid the phone in and then gently pulled the case away from the phone and pulled the other side of the tape off with some tweezers and then pushed the case together - now the phone doesnt slide anywhere and is securely stuck inside the case and all the button/mic/camera holes line up perfectly.
Highly recommended and worth considering even if your thinking about an Imak style case because you can remove the clip button and the flip face and you have a similar but better case all round - the only drawback is possibly the price but compared to the price and capabilities of this phone I didnt think it too bad, especially if you work in moderate to extreme conditions.
What do you mean the flip part can be left off? Pics?
It slides off from where it attaches on the back of the case. I'll get some pic's at some point.

Oh wow cool. I didn't know it could do that. Looks like it leaves the top right corner exposed though.

I spose it does leave it a little "exposed" but this is so you can use the front facing camera and light sensors etc and even so its only a couple of mm and the leather on top of it is quite thick so to get something to touch that part of the phone I either have to aim the object at it or hold the phone at a 45degree angle to rub the plastic on the table. But then again with the flap on its covered by the clip strap.

Yip thats the one.
It seems so simple.
A simple plastic clip with an adhesive back so I could clip my pen top edge of the screen (where the HTC logo is) when I'm not using it.
Would be SO helpful yet no one makes one. HTC are you listening? How hard would it be to include this with the tablet? Or how about with the pen you charge a fortune for?
I am going to look around. I bet something like this exists for holding a pen to a dry erase board or something and I can adapt it to the EVO.
Have an idea.
Think I'll just get a simple piece of black leather, cut a small strip, wrap it around my pen for fit and stick the ends to a small piece of double-sided foam tape. then just stick it to the top front of my View (where the HTC is) and presto, pen holder.
Or even easier, get a long thin strip of velcro and stick it along the top front of the tablet, then take a long strip of the soft fuzzy side and stick it to my pen. That should hold it pretty well while I'm typing on the tablet.
Another solution I have found is to add a cap with a clip to the back of the pen (a sharpie cap fits perfectly). Then attach this to a tether that fits into the headphone jack (many capacitive styli come with this tether). The pen dangles a bit, but what the heck, it is safely attached.

Thanks. Yes, I thought of this as well but i hate the dangling pen part. Will post photos of whatever I come up with.
Not sure if this helps you in your search. I use a clip from a 2 dollar in line air blower or a pencil tire pressure gauge … fits the pen perfect.
Here’s a pic http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5220128/clip1.jpg
I have my flyer in a Blurex case and the pen snaps onto the closing latch.
I could have gotten a case with a pen holder. The problem is that I use the note app to do some.pretty hardcore thumb typing as I'm on the phone. In order to fly the tablet has to be comfortable in my hands. This means no bulky case so I just have a simple protective case on the back and no pen holder.

Thanks for the lead on that. I want a black one and it seems they are selling every possible color except black. Oh well.
In the meantime I've come up with a simple solution that has the benefit of not adding thickness to my tablet when I put it in it's sleave or in my pocket.
It is just simply some velcro tape applied as show in the photos. Works a charm.
Thanks Kudzus for your idea of the tire gauge pen clip. It works perfect for me. Thanks!
It didn't scratch the finish off your pen like one of the other members stated?
