anyone carrying Note 2 on their belt?

[Elantric]

I ordered this -
Couldnt wait for an Otterbox Defender (which are still not due to ship for a few more weeks)

I'll use the SPIGen Screen protector and this case with my Note 2

I just bought the Active combo case black . should be at my door in two days. SEIDIO | ACTIVE Case & Holster Combo for Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Use code. "TW10" for 10% off at the Seidio store.

That's the reason I bought the seidio surface. I'm still buying the defender whenever otterbox chooses to release them but this one will get me used to wearing a small laptop on my belt

..... this one will get me used to wearing a small laptop on my belt

I just fell over laughing....

Seen the videos of surface on the note? Doesn't add much at all to the size of phone. Even the active case doesn't add much. Lots better than the otters

Just waiting for more colors than black to come out

Yes - I agree - my hunch - the Seideo Active Case appears to a better choice if you want to place the Note 2 in the Samsung SmartDock - may not need to remove the bulky case is my hunch, since it appears thinner than the OtterBox Defender in the Micro USB slot region. (I'll report back)

While the "too late to the party" Otterbox Defender seems to be just a tad too thick for docking.

My thoughts are the Speidio Active case + SPIGEN Active Crystal Screen protectors
SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen Protector Clear Steinheil [Ultra Crystal]

= Maximum protection and less risk of a cracked screen.

Got my Reiko leather belt case from Amazon. Paid less than $5 with shipping! Quality seems o.k. for now. The family says it doesn't look to bad or that much bigger. Here are pictures of the Note 2 size case, my Bionic case, and then the Note 2 case turned more under the arm. (Less than 3 weeks until I get my phone from Verizon...)

Rdalcanto.. How tall are you??

 

[ScandaLeX]

Kind of hard to get a good look of the Note 2 case hidden under your arm.

 

[rdalcanto]

Rdalcanto.. How tall are you??

6ft tall.

The picture with it further under the arm is to show how you can try to hide such a big case....

 

[dan330]

LOL.. there aint no hiding that thang!

Ohhhhh that's what you were doing with it. I'm on my phone and can't tell but from the pictures you posted last night, was the last one the Note? I don't know anyone who wears their case that far back to the side so I was hoping to see what it looked like more to the front.

Well I finally joined the belt club! Just got the seidio surface case and holster this morning (thank you FedEx) and immediately put it on. I wrote a quick review in the master accessory list but I will say it carries well on the belt. The case is very thin and keeps the phone looking and feeling sleek. The holster keeps the phone very secure and holds it close to the body. Horizontally the phone sits flat and isn't as obvious as I imagined it would be. Today I'll be giving it the full field test and will update if I find anything negative but so far I'm happy.

Just ordered the Surface combo. I'm still a little skeptical about wearing it on my belt/side, but if I end up not liking that, the case itself still looks great and from Seido's reputation, I'm sure it will do a great job protecting the phone.

It will trust me. I've been wearing mine since this morning and its awesome so far. Combine it with a sgp screen protector and you're all set.

i would like to see that on someone's belt.. does it look like a shield?

Even Batman says this thing is too big for a belt.

Are you seeing three pictures? The first one has the belt holster at the 10'oclock position on my hip.

I see it thanks. Read it wrong. Didn't realize first case was the Note.

 

[luvr]

Still waiting for the active case with holster. Otterbox, when are you going to have it available?

 

[NJRonbo]

Have had the Seidio Surface case for a few days now with the holster.

At first I though the holster was waaaay to big on the belt, but after a bit of time with it, it seems alright.

Certainly, the holster is very secure. I have no fear of the phone or the holster slipping off my belt. The quality of this case and holster is fantastic. It should be for the $60 I paid for it.

How noble of you....how fast can you run? Bally's thoughts seem like snatch & grab. I've seen a lot of that & it's not just phones they're taking. By the time they've hauled ass with your stuff, you're still thinking.....wth just happened?

I know first hand how this feels like. I wasn't the victim, just a bystander who saw a snatch and grab, and before I can even process what was happen, I lost sight of the thief already. The victim took longer to process the information that her necklace has just been ripped off her neck. This happened in a very crowded street and there's nothing you can really do but look stupid for a while.

 

[NJRonbo]

^^^ Good Point Raised ^^^^

Those of you with the Seidio case and belt...

How easy/difficult would it be for someone to snatch it in a crowd?

My estimation is that it would not be very easy, but not impossible. The holster has a good grip on the belt, but I would think a forceful rip would remove it very quickly.

Who wears valuables out in the open in a crowded area? I don't even like my wallet in my back pocket in those situations.

Seems a bit silly to wear any phone on your hip in a crowded area unless it is a belt loop rather than a clip. And if the case is actually a pouch that the phone sits in.

I think the idea of carrying it on your belt is great. It will open up a world of opportunity to people who want to steal it and thus obtain a phone they could never hope to afford. Plus the possibility of impromptu "drop tests"

My Note II will be on my belt right where my iPhone 4S was - right next to my Glock 27. They are welcome to attempt getting my phone if they are all prayed up!
