I need a holster for S3

**Lostboy1457** · 08-11-2012, 07:15 PM

I have the Galaxy S3 and purchased an Incipio Silicrylic Shine Case, which I like especially since it's not bulky at all. So....how come it's so difficult to find a holster that this case can fit into? If I were a female, I guess I'd just carry the phone and case it in my purse...but I'm a guy...so what am I supposed to do? Walk around with it in my hand all day....put it in my pocket all of the time and hope it doesn't get scratched? I tried one of those huge OtterBox cases with a holster but it made me feel that I was carrying a tablet on my hip. Does anyone know why they don't make more holsters to fit more cases...and if they do...can someone share with me where to purchase one?

Thanks!

I went to the AT&T store and got something like this. You can clip it on to something and you can also use it as a stand. I didn't read the amazon info ,it looks like the one I bought. Cost 35.00. I would be happier if they had blue. I am a girl, it goes in my purse.

Get the OB Defender case and holster. Check out my YouTube link above for a review of the Defender.

A Seidio holster for the S3 Surface Case should work.
I did the same with a Bionic. The Incipio is about the same thickness (or less) than the Seidio Surface.

I purchased the Seido Active holster along with the Surface and love it! I have always used holsters (since first BB 13 years ago) and this is probably the best combo. Got it for around $40 .... in blue .. with black holster ..

Thanks Tomen8r...I tied this one but the issue is that I prefer to keep my case...and find a holster that my case can slide into.

I am also interested in that same case and would definitely prefer to keep it on a holster more often than in a pocket.

I see both the and suggested in combination with the Galaxy S3 case.

Can anyone confirm which combination offers the best fit?

I have this and love it. It's not only a thin semi-hard hard case with a kickstand BUT it also has a matching holster.. Sometimes I use the holster sometimes not. The kickstand is always in use on my desk. I used to always use the old school leather holster with my BB's then with my first Android (Epic 4G) I got tired of it and kept phone in my pocket (still never got a scratch even with keys in pocket), now with this phone I don't feel comfortable shoving it into my pocket.. yet...

I had a Seidio holster for my dinc and it worked great.
So I got a Cruzer lite case for my S3 and while I have been carrying it in my pocket (I have a screen protector on it as well)
I really would like a good holster that would work with the CruzerLite case.It looks like the Seidio Active Holster might work since that case it is suggested with it doesnt look much different then the cruzerlite case from what I can tell from pics.

I dont wont the otterbox case , I use to be a fan of them but their holsters have gotten to cheaply designed to hold up .

I like the Aduro Shell Holster with Kickstand on Amazon. The kickstand on this shell is outstanding. Great finger hold. Never have used the holster. Have thought about removing clip from holster and just use as hard cover. When I figure it out.

I've been very happy with this case. Have had it for a few weeks.

I bought the Active holster. The S3 rattles in it. It simply doesnt fit.

Suggestions?

This is a great case and holster combo. One word of caution... if you tend to switch out battery's or want to take your case off this is not probably for you. It is extremely hard to take the case off. To the point I had my power button come off after 4 or 5 times. If you don't switch out battery's or tend to take the case off then this is a great combo.

I went to a local army surplus store and grabbed a nylon pouch w/Velcro strap. Works awesome. Fits my S3 with a ballistic case nicely :thumbup:. $7
