Leather Holster Recommendation

[shdwjackal]

Hi everyone. I am trying to find a leather holster for the Droid (obviously) and am running into a wall. I got the one that VZW carries, with the velcro, and it really was a piece of crap. I know the shape of the Droid does not lend itself to fitting well in anything other than a holster made specifically for it, but there must be something. I have seen nice leather cases for the G1 and the chin on that thing... Whoa. lol Any one have any experiences with a good case that is not made specifically for the Droid? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I know its not a holster, but the Sena is the only leather anything that I've seen around for the Droid that fits just fine.

I'm like you. Been looking around for quite some time now.

I am using the sleeve from my old XM portable unit and it works great... so lucked out and already had a case at no extra out of pocket.

I bought a Blackberry case from Radio Shack that works very well. It has a magnetic clasp, but it doesn't cause a problem as long as the phone is facing out. It's a leather front with elastic sides and has a nice solid feeling spring clip.

I need one similar to the vertical Storm/Tour pouch with a belt clip that rotates. Not being able to have a magnet on the puoch will suck...

I saw some YouTube review videos for a case made by Piel Frama.

I'm holding off, 'cause I'm waiting for seidio's extended slim battery - I don't know how slim "slim" is. So, I don't want to get a case that wont fit.

Anyhow, Piel Frama, unbelievably beautiful - but its crazy expensive. I think its over $100. However, when you see pictures and read more about it, you'll start lusting for it.

I'm on the mobile forum, so I don't have a link to post - Google moto Droid piel frama.

For over $100 I don't know who's going for it. But, ohhhhh is it sweet.

I just ordered 1.

What???? A Piel Farma? Seriously?!?? Sweet, you have GOT to post a review here. That case looks amazing.

That's pretty sweet!
But for $100+....

 

[prometheus]

How much was it? The only price I was was in euros. Was it 80 euros? What is that $120. Wow, that better be one heck of a case.

 

[Roy Aguilera]

55 euros which was 79.70 shipped. Its a business expense.

 

[prometheus]

Man, I miss my "expense" account. I was laid off from that job in April, 09. Well, if you use the phone for work - its legit. Enjoy.

That pouch is cool. The one I fell for is called the imagnum from Piel Frama.

Check it out here...

Motorola Droid cases PIEL FRAMA

leather, clip, protects glass screen, cut outs for all buttons, camera, little holes for speaker, slim, basically - except for the price - perfect.

i'm looking for a leather holster, but i want mine to be vertical! i cant believe all i can find for the droid is horizontal.. whats with that?

 

[shdwjackal]

Thanks so much everyone for your help on this. That Piel Farma (sp.) looks sweet. But, Uncle Sam doesn't give Soldiers an expense account... LMAO So I think I may be going with the Sena case. Thanks so much.

I love the cases I ordered from luxmo.com

They don't activate the base or the navigation either which is the trouble I had with other cases.

I ordered item #LPMOTQEX7HBK

And also item #LPMOTQLU4BK

They were only like $15

Mind if I ask how well these fit your device? Is it snug, or kind of loose? Thanks very much.

 

[Ignitros]

In my experience the red lined one is a lil more loose and the tan lined one is snug but not so tight you can't get the phone out of the case without a hassle. I use the tan one most. If you order any of them just make sure they are built for the moto Q/ iPhone as those are the cases I've found to fit perfect.
