[Q] holster suggestions?

[MJMcMahon]

Hi all -

when I bought my Fascinate, I got the VZW holster/case combo. Unfortunately, I've gone through 3 of them because the belt clip breaks. The last time I went into the VZW store, they said they wouldn't do another replacement, so I'm looking for a good replacement. Suggestions?

Never buy anything from verizon but phones...there are a lot of solid holsters from official Samsung accessories, so look for the model you like, and go search for the same but cheaper one on Amazon or eBay.

NOW he tells me!

...there are a lot of solid holsters from official Samsung accessories, so look for the model you like, and go search for the same but cheaper one on Amazon or eBay.

no luck on Samsung's site....what's the general consensus about Seidio or OtterBox? Are they THAT much more robust than the competitor products? Specifically, how solid are the belt clips? I don't mind spending $50 once, but having the thing break after 2-3 months is a no-go!

Thanks Nunyazz....any comment on the questions I posed?

I've had that holster since they began offering it. It fits very snug and is very slim fitting. Fits very close to your side and rotates if needed. I love it. I had the "naked" holsters from them for the past 4 or 5 phones that I've owned.

Picked up a Seidio from Best Buy on Friday...we'll see how it holds up!

Thanks for the feedback guys

Does anyone know if theres an outward facing holster?

I just posted on this in the bike mount mod thread in the same forums:

I use the Otter Box defender case/clip combo. The clip can be used either way, with the screen facing in (very protected) or with it facing out(to use like a dock). On top of that the clip piece locks into full open position, allowing you to use it as a stand. Handy if you want to sit on the desk and have it maintain orientation, and also when using an alarm clock.


The case itself is also pretty resilient. I work for GeekSquad, and after hours one night I literally threw my phone across the 20,000sqft store to see how the case would hold up. No damages at all. Brilliant.

Another cool feature is the non slip silicone outer layer. When I am rolling around in my Jeep, I can plug the phone into my audio aux in, and throw it onto a seat or the center console, and it never slips around.

I know I probably sound like a crazed fanboy, but I am very impressed with the case/clip and have had it for about a month.

I would post a link but apparently I cannot until I make eight posts. Google Otterbox, their site is easy enough to navigate.

I bought mine from Amazon. Very nice and sturdy, and only cost me $8. The brand escapes my mind right now, but just search Fascinate Holster and it's like the first or second one on the list.

I've purchased 4 of these for the 4 Fascinates my family and I have. They are great and we have no complaints. My son it pretty rough on his stuff and it has held up thus far. We got them in November.

I find it easy to slide thee phone in and out of, and it give the phone a bit more bulk and texture.

Look up the "Superior OEM for Samsung i500 Fascinate Shell Holster Combo Pack" on Amazon. This forum will not let me post a link for some reason. They are less than $10.

That's the one I have. I've had it for a few months now and I love it. Couldn't stand putting my phone in my pocket, I had to have the holster.

Had the OEM one for a year now and just a about 2 months ago busted the clip off, but i can still snap it back together, which has gotten be this far but the silly thing keep snapping off at the slightest touch...

will have to try out that naked carrier next

tried a little while carrying the phone in my pocket, fits nicely into the carpenter pants slot on the right leg side, but not so nice in any other pocket

I use a Comp-Tac M-TAC holster for my daily carry... oh wait, you mean phone?
