Just an update for those who are interested in a Seidio holster. I decided to try the EVO 3D since it has almost identical specs to the Rezound (and recommended by Seidio support even though they wouldn't guarantee it would fit) as well as the Incredible 2 Surface holster. I figured I would return the one that didn't fit.

The EVO 3D fit perfectly!! It slides in easily and locks. It also fits both batteries (the extended is pictured). There is a slight gap between the face and the holster but I can't remember if my past ones fit like that as well. The Incredible 2 fit, but as mentioned you had to pull the sprint clip to get the phone in.

The holster feels really good and now having the extended battery doesn't feel as bulky. I hated carrying it around in my pants since I never had to before.

I have been a long time Seidio holster user for nake devices. I had one with my Windows HTC 6800, Blackberry Tour, Blackberry Storm 2 and Droid Incredible. Sadly, Seidio has said they don't plan on making a holster for a naked Rezound so I was wondering what phone has similar dimensions? I could try one of those holsters and maybe modify it to fit the Rezound.

I have an answer for you. The Seidio "Surface" HTC Incredible 2 holster fits the naked Rezound almost perfectly. I've been using it on my Rezound for the past few weeks. The spring clip doesn't quite close all the way (its about 5 degrees short of being in the full close position) but its more than adequate to hold it securely. I tried and failed to pull the phone out of the holster with two hands. Trust me, it won't come out accidentally.

I have two batteries and an external charger, and I swap the batteries every morning so I don't want to mess with having to take the case off. So, the case/holster combo was a no starter for me.

When I get time I will post a picture of the Rezound in the holster. The only drawback is that it requires lifting of the spring clip with a finger to put the phone in the holster. Overall I'm happy with it though.

A picture will be really helpful!! Also, I emailed Seidio Customer support and they suggested that the HTC EVO 3D may work as well but couldn't guarantee it. Spec wise they are close.

Updated to show that the EVO 3D holster fits perfectly.

Yup, looks like that fits just a little better than the Incredible 2 holster. Same issue (the protective plate doesn't come up quite far enough to cover the screen) but it's a little taller so the clip closes just a little bit better.

I had an advantage in that my wife already had the Inc 2 holster, so I could try before I bought. Didn't think about other models.

Not going to bother with a picture now (I was on vacation last week and had no way to post one). I'd say either holster will work, but the EVO 3D looks like it fits just a little bit better. If you're buying a holster, I'd go that route.

I have an X holster and it's not even close! The body fits the same, but the clip isn't anywhere near securing the device.

I said not perfectly... Been using it since day 1 of having my new phone and no issues... Just tossing it out there... To say it's nowhere near securing the device is way off... My device is plenty secure... Wouldn't even consider spending money on a new clip.

Cool! Thank you very much! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! For some reason, Seidio made it that you had to get a case in order to fit in the official Rezound holster, but I prefer to use my phones without a case, just like I did with my Droid Incredible and Seidio's holster for it. I was able to use the extended battery as well on the Droid Incredible with thier holster, and now I am happy to see that I can use the Rezound Extended battery too with the EVO 3D holster! Excellent!
