I love my Nexus One's pouch case that came bundled with the phone. I am not a big fan of adding skins and layers to my phone. I am just looking for a pouch case where it is protected when in my pocket. Anyone know where I can get something like that? It doesn't have to be an official case.
I got a HTC branded pouch case that fit my EVO perfectly from Sprint store. I believe it is 29.99 and if you have premier discount, it is ~$22. I love mine.
Are you looking for a simple form-fitting pleather pouch or something that protects it a bit more perhaps? I can't help you w/the first but I've heard the Lowepro Tasca 20 will fit the EVO, may not be an exact fit but it's made of neoprene and it looks pretty nice if you're gonna toss the phone in a bag at any point...
I've got one I've used for my iPod touch in the past, fits a bit loosely, I can confirm whether it fits the EVO alright tomorrow.
No something simple like you first said. I am okay with a simple pouch to just keep in my pocket. That Lowepro Tasca 20 seems decent. Basically the idea I am looking for.
Yeah, being from neoprene it's gonna be a bit thicker than something made out of a cheaper material but it also protects it a bit more... The top closes w/a simple metal clasp (again, that might add a bit more bulk than something w/o a clasp), I'll let ya know tomorrow how tight it is around the EVO. I hope UPS drops my EVO early!

Got a picture of this or a link?
I didn't see any pouches whatsoever at my store... Just hard cases and silicon skins, haven't seen it online either, I'd be interested in pics of it as well.

Stopped by my Sprint store yesterday and they were sold out. Sales guy actually told me they'll likely get new Evo's in before they get more of these leather cases in stock.
FYI I bought a leather case from verizon for the Droid, it fits the Evo 4g in nicely. But it's for coneecting to your belt. Maybe some Droid stuff will fit the Evo in?
try this maybe?

This is the HTC leather case w/belt clip from Sprint. Specifically for the EVO, I have it and it fits like a glove.

I just got it today. It's nice and snug. I like it.
Any other pouch suggestions? Or "socks" - my wife is in need of something for when she throws her Evo in her bag... The old ipod sock-type cases would be perfect..
If your like me you don't like to trust cheap plastic crap to protect your $600 phone, Thats why I have been researching which holsters work with the Vibrant since T-mobile doesn't make a good one themselves. If you have a Silicon skin on your Vibrant then I recommend the holster intended for the Droid X that is linked here http://www.usosmart.com/Motorola_Droid_X_Shell_Holster_Combo_p/vzmotxshc.htm
If you don't have a skin on your phone then I recommend the holster intended for the Droid Incredible linked here
http://www.usosmart.com/Verizon_HTC_Droid_Incredible_Shell_Holster_Combo_p/vzhtcincshc.htm This holster is a tiny bit too small so its a great fit
The Holster/shell combo intended for the Samsung Fascinate might also work for the Vibrant if you have a skin/shell, Link is here
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12283&page=1
I am working on getting pictures for all these holster with the Vibrant fitted inside them.
Why not put the 2 hands in front of you to work and make a vastly superior product that fits perfectly ?
Because every holster I have seen specifically for the Vibrant sucks. There are however some good Skins for it but no holsters I have seen that work with the skin on, Thus the reason for this thread.

So.... not only do your hands not work, your eyes are suspect too ?
Haha... too funny.
Unfortunately, I find that most people have no concept of what it means to create.
Nice holster n2ishun!
I don't think the fascinate one will work because of the bump on the back of the Vibrant right? I was wondering the same thing about the fascinate cases since there seems to be better ones for that (especially Seidio). Anyone try a Fascinate specific case on a Vibrant yet?

I used to carry my G1 in a case designed for a wing. Now my Vibrant with a Case like the Barely There fits in it.
I like to recycle as you can read.

Sure, I'll just go ahead an fire up my 3d printer and 3d scanner and make a case that a large company can't even make. This thread is for people who like to adapt and modify existing hardware, If you don't like it then go away. Actually, let me ask you a question first, Why would you come in a thread specifically about using another phones holster with the vibrant, Then show a case made for it and then act like a ***** because our opinions about exsisting products differ? I don't like universal cases and I personaly think yours is ugly because I dislike leather/suede. EDIT:I found a post in another thread where you said you made that case and if you really did, good job, its not my style but good job.
egrims, I tested the fascinate holster/shell I linked to, The shell won't fit the vibrant but the holster does although its a little loose, If you have a silicon skin on your vibrant it should fit perfectly. As I stated above I am working on getting pictures for all the holsters I mention.
I tried my buddies fascinate combo holster from vzw. It fits pretty snug but the speaker is covered because the fascinate speaker is on the bottom portion of the back. And the camera is covered a tad but pics come out fine.

kentot, Are you talking about the case/holster I linked to in the original post or the one thats just a holster? That one would work if the Vibrant didn't have the "chin" , If you put the vibrant in the case I think your referring to and shake it to simulate running it will fall out cause the bottom isn't held in.
Vibrant in Fascinate combo case from VZW
Yes I am talking about that case. Attached are pics of my Vibrant in the case for the Fascinate. (pics taken by Fascinate)
As you can see the case is pretty snug and will not fall out if shaken, Which I have tested... Vigorously.... LOL
The back shot shows how the speaker is covered and the camera lens is partly covered.
Edit: Bad focus job by me but at least you get the idea
I thought you were referring to a different case then the one I linked. There is a "snap-in" Verizon case for the fascinate that won't work for the reasons I previously stated, basicly it doesn't snap in and any fast movements cause it to fall out
I had a T-Mobile leather holster/belt-clip case for my G1 and the Vibrant fit perfectly into it, a little tight with the T-Mobile gel-skin on it, but it fit all the same. That holster finally fell apart last week and I'm looking for a new one. The universal one that T-Mobile now stocks is too small to take the Vibrant with its gel-skin on.
I'm hoping that Best Buy or someone will have a universal holster that'll take it.
Just a little update
So I got my holster for the Droid Incredible a few days ago and I gotta say I love it. The Vibrant fits in there extremely well and its so snug it won't fall out basicly for any reason so long as the phone is in the holster with the screen face out, With the screen face in the holster isn't snug enough for the phone and it unfortunitly could fall out. Hopefully Otterbox makes a Vibrant case soon and it doesn't make the phone twice as big like with the iPhone cases.
I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Q4AJR2
It came in the other day. It fits the phone perfectly with my gel skin on. And, it was CHEAP.
The quality is great, I can't actually find anything bad to say about it.
http://store.thebluedot.net/Items/c...ase for Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Pouch Pro Skin
Works perfectly fine with Case-Mate Tough Case; perfect fit. Great build. Fast delivery. Search in accessories, somebody has posted pictures of this + tough case in its pocket. Not too tight, not to loose.
the BlackBerry Storm fit prefectly

at least its finally posted so we know for sure its real close!
Can you enlight me about this cases. What is so great about innocases?
Features, quality?
Looks good (judging based off of the Innocase for the Nexus One).
How might this case be better than say a TPU/Epik style case? Just curious.
These are the only cases I know of that you can also use with a holster.when I had it for my nexus there was also a option to upgrade to "rugged"which was perfect for me because I was doing construction.

I hope it's a slider style case and not a snap on. If it's like this one, I'll probably get it.

I second that! I usually use a holster with my phone and this case looks sweet. Otterbox won't be coming out with a defender case for our phone so I think this is perfect! I'm gonna us this for the daily and the TPU case when I need to go light
Nice. This is the kind of case I was looking for. It reminds me a bit of the Agent 18 cases for the iPhone (but slightly higher quality, it looks like).
Has anyone used these cases before on other phones? It looks like it has some rubberized material on the outside? Does it attract lint and dust? The official Gel case (which has now become slightly stretched and useless) continues to pick up every annoying piece of debris. I've given up and gone bare until something better (like this case) comes along.
Do a search for "innocase surface" on YouTube and you'll see a lot of reviews. They describe a slightly rubberized feel to the case, but apparently it isn't tacky and doesn't attract dust or lint.
Yes it is 2 pieces and it slides together. Its had that nice slightly rubberized feel to it but not too muck to their point it grips too much

Sold, sold, sold. I want this thing!
Do they typically sell these at T-Mo corporate stores? Or do you guys just get them online usually?
Great holster
I'm a big fan of the Seidio holsters. I've had one for my last few Blackberries. I tried several different holsters but I was traveling a lot and working in ceilings and not one of them lasted more than a month. The clip would inevitably break off. It happened once and I didn't notice until later. I had to spend over an hour looking for my phone that was on vibrate!
I chose the Seidio because it looked rugged. It never failed no matter how much I abused it. Now that I have an MT4G I'm really looking forward to getting one of their holsters for it. I've never used the Innocase, but I hightly recommend the holster. It's built very tough without looking like it. I don't see they have one listed yet for use without the case, but I'm hoping they'll make one.

meh when i had the nexus, the otterbox commuter is better than whatever crap and junk seidio sells *cough* batteries *cough* *cough* sorry i won't be giving my money to these assholes not even for $5.

Really, I bought a Otterbox Commuter for my Captivate and hated it and returned it the next day. The hard plastic looked cheap and the rubber was a lint magnet. I don't have experience with Seido cases but I bought a holster for my wife's iPhone4 and it's great.
Had an Innocase on my BB 8900 and It was good for the most part. It was one of the slide up ones. But It DID scratch the chrome part on the phone.
I did drop it multiple times on the floor and nothing happened the phone. BUT, one day it dropped about 3 feet down to concrete and the case cracked and wouldn't hold the phone well like it did before.
IT did fall on concrete almost that high before and nothing until that one day.
Also sliding the case off a couple of times messed up its sturdiness. Sturdiness as in, when I'd slide it up it stay on. after a while it wouldn't stay on well.
On my N1 I bought an Otterbox case and it was the best case I had. Even though it attracted lint and was hard to take off sometimes, I wouldn't buy any other case !
EDIT: got a battery from them for my N1. The thickness made me get rid of it. Come to find out the stock battery lasted way longer.
I thought the Innocase II is the one that was 2 pcs and snaps together.

I own the Platinum Series case from Best Buy. It is awesome.
Otterbox
I had 3 of the Candy shell cases for my iPhone, but after about 2 months each the cracked. WHile I had them they were great, but not that rugged.
I just got the Otterbox Commuter for mine and that thing is great, even the buttons are covered, and they are easier to press. Plus I can lay it down without worrying about the camera lens or the screen, it sticks out barely on both sides to protect.
One Of My Friends has a black one, you can barely tell its a case. Ill ask and try to hook you up.

The price of that case is the same price I got my bran-new Inspire 4G for.
I don't know if any of you are still looking for a case for the Inspire 4G (or DesireHD), but I have 10 hard shell black cases with a built-in kickstand. The cases are brand new and they also come with a screen protector.
If you're interested in getting one, please contact me at nkd4cl at g mail. I'd be willing to sell them for $15 + $3 shipping.
I just got a bunch more in, so I could drop the price. Hope this price point helps people out.
Depends on your budget and whatnot. OtterBox makes your phone indestructible for the most part (it's very resilient). If you just want a general case, I'd recommend just getting one off of eBay. That's what I did.
Case Mate Tough Case!!!! (ebay TPU not bad either)
to be honest, the TPU cases are pretty nice. not as much protection as other combo cases, but they sell at the mall for $20 and i got one on ebay for 69 cents after shipping. i had to wait a while as it came from china, but i was pretty impressed with the quality. it even keeps the camera from touching the table when i lay it down.
that said, i ultimately decided on the case mate tough case. it has a rubber inner layer and hard plastic outer layer, a nice ridge around the screen to keep it off the table, full port access, it actually makes the buttons easier to use, its fairly easy to get off and on if you need to but it CERTAINLY isnt going to come flying off if you drop it (i would know, from experience...lol)
my girlfriend has the speck candyshell for her iphone, and its nice, but its kind of hard to get the phone in and out. besides, i think the glossy finish will get scratched up quickly whereas the casemate will wear much better with its textured back.
OH and the casemate tough retails for $30 but i got it on ebay new for $15 definitely worth it! i got the tpu as a less bulky backup should i ever want a "sleeker" case or something happen to the tough one.
i looked at a lot of others, but they didnt seem to offer THAT much more protection when they cost 3x as much. this seemed like the best $ to protection for me since i did pay $50 for my inspire lol
My favorite cases hands down are Seidio cases. Fantastic quality, inexpensive, and they are very clean looking. I've used Seidio on my last 2 phones and will continue to use them on future phones that I own. I swear by them.

You can attach a charm to any phone and most phone cases with an inexpensive little "O" ring device. You might be able to find one at a store that sells phone accessories or you can buy them online.
it looks good
Idk how many of you have had a previous android phone, but when the nexus one came out and it included a small case that came with the phone (similar to what comes with the Palm Pre) I remember everybody wanted one for their phone. Does anybody know of one for the thunderbolt? Personally I would love a smaller version of what comes with the HTC flyer.

I don't think they were case, but sleeves. not totally sure though
It was a sleeve with the android guy on it but no it wont fit. i bought the nexus android sleeve for my incredible and when i got the thunderbolt unfortunately it doesn't fit. sorry to burst you bubble.
Tried to find a similar thing for tbolt as I used to use the pouch all the time with my incredible. There is an ebay dude who makes knock off versions that do fit the tbolt. They're only a few bucks, but are definitely of knock off quality too. The material is cheaper and less 'snug fitting' than the nexus one pouch. But if you absolutely need a pouch...
Yes it will fit. Less than a quarter inch sticks out the top, the entire screen is covered. Just shove it in there.
sleeve
What is a cover worth that you can't easily access your phone. If i have to fight with a sleeve just to remove your phone it's a waste.
