I had an S2 until it fell out of my pocket, while riding my bike. The S2 was in and OtterBox Defender which was carried in a Maxpedition phone holder that clipped to my belt. I am an outdoors guy and this type of holder prevented the phone from being lost.
Now I have a Note 2 and need a phone holder for it.
Any ideas where I can get such a holder? Maxpedition does not make a holder large enough for the Note 2 carried inside of an OtterBox Defender case.
 
how about this?

I came very close to getting that holster but in the pictures the belt clip and loops looked too small for my belt. So I went for....

and a RND TPU Protective Case....

I use a 1.5 inch wide belt, do you think that holster you got would work with it?

I wonder how tight is the fit of your Note 2 with TPU case in your holster?

I have a wrist strap attached to my Note 2 and it makes it quite easy to get the phone out of the very slim holster, but without the wrist strap I would worry about having to grip the screen too hard when pulling the phone out of the holster.

Hi donec. No I just checked the leather case I have will only fit a 1" belt, which is perfect for me. The phone with TPU case fit fine but I actually prefer it a bit looser so I overstretched the elastic on the sides. I can fit my fingers in and get the phone out, though I have small ladies hands.

How did you get a wrist strap attached to your phone?

The speaker grill on the back of the Note 2 has a small bump in the middle barthat works great for attaching the wrist strap (I think that is why it is there) . However! I don't use that, instead I attach the strap to the TPU case through the bottom mic hole. I think the reason I use it that way is simply because I started that way and then later figured out the speaker grill way, so I stuck with what I was used to.

Yes it does. I wonder into the brush and want more protection than the Defender clip on.
