I wonder how many of your friends always have wanted to tell you that you look ridiculous with a belt clip but never could bring themselves to it?

Do yourself a favor and "

skip the clip!

+1 for the fanny pack joke

+1 socks and sandals

I got a response from Seidio saying they are planning on releasing a Convert case but have no idea of an ETA just yet.

+1 it's silly when you're doing upside down sit ups or are on an inversion table in the gym and your phone flies out your pocket and hits you in the face.

+1 it looks really ridiculous when you are powerlifting and the barbell comes down on your thigh and crushes your phone screen

+1 it's absolutely redonkulous when you're trail riding and your phone flies out your pocket/backpack and your riding buddy does a sweet jump off of it

lol to each their own....but I agree about socks and sandals =)

The real problem is belt clip complainers don't wear belts.

I like the way the i-blason wraps around to protect the screen.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slowpok22:
Just ordered the i-blason, well see, just seems to cheap for a quality holster. my pockets are all ways full of crap that can scratch, knife, change(because that's all I have), keys, flash light.

got to keep the phone away from the junk.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
These belt clip haters don't even lift. And if they do, probably tuck the phone in the waistband of their yoga pants.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unknown1205:
i ordered this one and it fits perfectly.

Just got my N5. I am using my Samsung S4 Platinum Series(seidio) holster that that came with a case. I am using only the holster. I just orders Spigen ultra fit case hopefully it fit the S4 holster.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Just thought I'd add that I was reading the safety manual that comes with the phone (I know, who does that?) and it mentioned something regarding not using the phone with a belt clip containing metal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wagmans:
Might have something to do with the fact the Nexus 5 has a magnetic ring around the camera for attatchments. Anyways, I also ordered the I-Blason Clip Case off Amazon. It was $10 shipped when I ordered it. I hope they ship soon as I really could use a case.

HTC One Surface Belt Clip

HTC One Surface Belt Clip fits my naked N5 fairly well. Well enough for me to wait for the SLOW Seidio.

I didn't read the thread, sorry if I duped... ;)

Seidio makes the Best belt clip BUT by the time they get their products to market the phone has already hit the "end of life" :eek:

Nite Ize - XL Sideway Pouch (black in color) w. heavy duty plastic clip - $13.49 and about $19.50 shipped (USPS Priority)

http://www.niteize.com/product/Clip-Case-Cargo-Sideways.asp

Checking with local Microcenter store to see if they carry them - I've been using the Sideway Pouch (L size) for the HTC and it's great, secured hook on the belt and it does not break or fall apart. Going to check on Amazon to see if it's available there - otherwise, might just order from them directly.

This black canvas vertical pouch on eBay is designed for the LG G2 and should fit, even with the Spigen Hybrid case installed - except that it has a metal clip.

Ordered i- blason case from amazon. Ordered last Tuesday. Said it was in stock. I emailed them and they said it would ship the 12th when they get it. Kinda mad. But don't know if phone will stay in holster when carrying horizontal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] c19932:
It should. I have a similar case holster combo for my HTC One S and the phone case stays pretty tight within the holster.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] c19932:
Is the audio jack accessible when the phone is in the case? I wanna listen to music with it at the gym

I'm also considering using a seidio holster made for another phone. Seems like the HTC one seidio holster will block the audio jack. Anyone using a seidio holster with their Nexus 5 can comment on this? How it fits, how tight, and audio jack accessible?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
can you provide pics of this? im so desperate right now that i'd actually try to seek out this combo if i could see that it works fine...

[/COLOR]

I would if I had another phone(just sold by point and shoot camera last week). I finally got the case on without it giving me the reboot issues so kinda worried I'd have to fight with it again if I take it out. One note though if the phone sits squarely in the holster it halfway covers the headphone jack. You do have a little leeway to move the phone slightly since it's not an exact fit to be able to get a jack plugged in though. The phone height with the case is perfect enough to be able to use the holsters locking mechanism too. Phone isn't going anywhere when locked in.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
no problem. to be absolutely clear though, you're saying that this case:

http://www.amazon.com/CUSHION-Spige...465&sr=8-2&keywords=spigen+nexus+5+slim+armor

combined with this holster:

http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-convert-holster-p/hl3htjetasrs.htm

will work as a perfectly functional belt case combo (except that the headphone jack is blocked, which i dont care at all about)?

my man if this is accurate i owe you a beer...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Absolutely! Was in the gym with it yesterday throwing kettlebells around and powerlifting. Phone sat sound as a pound. =)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
ok ordered. now i'm excited
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wagmans:
I don't care, I just want my case. I ordered the I-Blason holster case back on the 31st, so I'm starting to get pissed now. Although it doesn't really matter, because none of the other manufacturer's holster cases are available for sale yet anyways...:mad:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AdamLeonard:
That holster was designed for the HTC EVO 4G LTE. I'm really surprised that holster fits the N5 since the N5 is 3mm taller. I have a Seidio holster for the Samsung S3 and it won't fit the Nexus 5 even though the N5 is only 1.3mm taller.

Nexus 5: 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm

HTC EVO 4G LTE 134.8 x 68.9 x 8.9 mm

Samsung S3 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm

The problem is that the N5 has very sharp corners and the S3 (and S4 which also fits the Seidio holster) has much more rounded corners. That allows the phone to seat lower in the holster. The N5 with its sharp corners rides about 4 mm high in the holster and its not possible to get the top clipped in. Now, that's obviously on an S3/S4 holster but I looked at pictures of the EVO 4G LTE and though its corners are more rounded than the S3/S4, the N5 still has much sharper corners.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
im thinking it has to do with the holster being a convert, which is a bit bulkier than the surface cases. this, coupled with the slim armor cover makes it work. i'll be able to confirm later in the week
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BigOkie:
Ordered mine from them last Tuesday as well; said it would ship the 7th or 8th. When I got no notification, I emailed i-Blason and I got a response that it wouldn't ship until the 24th. Quite mad and cancelled the order.

Cannot in good faith EVER recommend a company that does this.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PlanBSTi:
He could be a officer/security guard and already have things on his belt..

Just because you don't think it's fashionable doesn't mean it doesn't have it purpose.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^ The Convert is a Seidio Surface case with an extra thick rubber TPU that covers all the ports and a hard plastic exoskeleton so it adds a considerable amount of size to the Evo LTE.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eep02b:
I wonder how the sedio convert or surface for the HTC One would fit?? The HTC one is very similar I'm size to the N5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wagmans:
They said mine would ship tomorrow. We'll see.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ggreenwood334:
I sent them a nastu email. It should not say it was in stock 5 days before it is. But is shipping USPS first class.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
well i just got my shipping notification from amazon on the i blason. obviously i'm suspicious, but its supposed to arrive on thursday. i'll report back if/when i get it...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wagmans:
So did I. I ordered a black one because that was the only one they had for $10 shipped when I did. I would have rather had another color but they didn't have blue or red at the time. I just need a case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ggreenwood334:
Said it shipped today. Be here 14th- 19th. Won't be doing drop test for anyone. Lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kilter1975:
Please post pictures when you get a chance... This would be the ideal set up for me for work.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wagmans:
I got my I-Blason case today. No instructions with it or on the website for it, although there are instructions on the website for the Galaxy S4 case, which might be similar. I'm going to wait until my screen protectors come for my Nexus 5 before I put the case on. So hopefully in a day or two.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slowpok22:
Just got my i-Blason, fit and finish are what would be expected for a $10 case, the holster part seems to be on par with other holsters that I have had, it is also working with my TYLT wireless charger, should work OK for now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
What about the HTC One Holster Active holster? This one would house a thicker case, lets say hopefully a spigen hybrid case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DesertVelo:
Good point! I do have a Ringke Hybrid (similar to Spigen) that would be interesting to test. Unfortunately I do not an Active holster (DILEX?) for the actual fit. I did check Amazon which has the holster for $23 USD. Might be worth a shot...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I'm about to hit the button to buy one for 20bux shipped. Should get to my office next week. And yea Active=DILEX. I forgot they changed the name lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DesertVelo:
Let me know how it goes... in the meantime, I can provide you with the measurements of the Ringke case so we an compare notes. I am considering the hybrid case because of the all around (i.e. bumper) protection. It is not too bulky and having the holster would be ideal... until Seidio ships - whenever that will be.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] toanau:
I am using the spigen slim case with my S4 Platinum Series Case(Seidio)holster. Snug fit but the top latch is a little tight.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] toanau:
Any photos
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wagmans:
It appears you can't use a screen protector with the I-Blason case, the rubber padding/lining is too tight and interferes with it. Oh well, I guess I'll have to go without one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] freshlysqueezed:
Because I work in a hospital and must wear scrubs, holsters are a must. I am happy to report that the spigen hybrid ultra fits perfectly in the i-blason holster (http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Google-Holster-Kickstand-Locking/dp/B00FORK3SI).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] planoman:
Why would I or anyone care what anyone thinks anyone thinks...

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Nice call! It almost fit! Everything was fine except the Nexus 5 is a few mm taller so the spring clip will not close over the top of the Nexus 5. It might be ok for some but I would not feel comfortable using it that way.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
what screen protectors? i have a spigen screen protector on my N5. just got the i-blason case today and it fits perfectly. i'm kind of digging this case actually. it doesnt have the quick clip in and out of the seidio cases (still my #1 choice), but it'll more than do till they launch. the fit is very secure and for the 1st time since i got the phone i finally feel like its well protected.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ggreenwood334:
Just got my I-blason in with a belt clip. Doesn't fit phone perfect. Wrinkles on sides were the outer shell grabs rubber. Might break in. Fits snug in holster. I am going to miss seidio quick release. But oh well. Feel safe walking around. PS. This is no otter box. Lol. Very soft rubber and cheap kick stand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
you might want to try installing it again. mine fit perfectly, no wrinkles or any other issues
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Letitride:
Followup on earlier post - local MicroCenter store did not have the Nite Ize XL Pouch in stock, the L size is too small & what I've been using for the HTC DI2 with 4" screen. Ordered the Canvas Pouch on Tuesday & mail carrier just delivered this morning, USPS first class from Edison, NJ - not bad for under $6 shipped free)

Here's a few pix taken for those of you thinking about extra & inexpensive protection - it slide in & out with the Spigel Ultra Hybrid Case that I'm using for now (so, most thin bumper case should be good) - order the one for the LG G2/

Impression - the canvas case is nice as extra protection, cushion/padding is slim but better than a clip-on case, and I will slip it with the lens facing inward (less likely to damage the glass lens) Case itself is big to huge, the corners slightly exposed and that's where the slim bumper case comes in, It is slim enough to drop into a coat pocket, waist pouch, day pack or travel shoulder bag, purse and/or backpack, etc. The metal clip is solidly sewn and the belt loop can be used vertically or horizontally - by running the belt thru for securing them together with zero chance of slipping out, and there is a loop for a stylus. For extra security, there is a small ring to loop a chain or to use it with a lanyard next to ID badge & keys for those of us working at various facilities - the clip could slip off the belt so I do recommend using securing it with a mini-chain for those active, outdoor type as you do not want to lost or drop the N5 unknowingly. ** see last photo (as worn on the belt)

For $6 - this is worth the money and if later on, I come across a leather one in decent quality - I would get it then. This is better than using a sleeve and isn't that much bulkier, given the overall size of the N5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ggreenwood334:
Got it to for. Tried reinstalling a couple times. Finally worked it out. After a day with this I will have to find a seidio holster that will work with this. Have to have quick release. About like getting my laptop out and booting up it takes me so long. Lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Clancy_s:
I've ordered a leather holster with a flap and a belt clip from Nutshell, here:

http://tuff-as-nuts.com/Google/LG-Nexus-5-Holster.aspx

It looks perfect for my application, I just ordered one from your EBay link.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
ok so finally got the seidio htc evo belt clip to pair with the slim armor case. it does work, and it's quite secure. the problem though is that the top of the phone is kind of suspended in the middle of the clip, which leaves a ~5mm gap between the phone screen and the top of the holster. if you push in on the phone while in the holster, there's an awful lot of give, to the point where the N5 screen can touch the top part of the holster. the holster is felt lined, so it likely wouldn't cause any damage, but still. i can feel the phone flexing when i'm sitting down or leaning forward for any reason. screenshots to show what i'm referring to:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] piperx:
I'm actually really loving this i-blason case :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Or in their bras.

Lots of professionals wear belt clips (I clip mine on my pocket), as it looks better than diving into your pocket and pulling out a lint covered, scratched screen, Hello Kitty tpu case.

I've also noticed that most everyone who pockets their phone has problems with it.

1. Lint packed under the screen, in the USB port or other ports.

2. Scratched screens. Yup, even with Gorilla Glass 46.

3. Glitchy phones from flexing all of the components every time they sit down in their skinny jeans.

4. Cracked screens from wearing size 50 "skinny" jeans and sitting.

I also don't look like I'm having a stroke or seizure everytime I need to access my phone while sitting ( if some of you pulled your pants up correctly, it wouldn't be as easy to get to your phone. Granted, with your pockets down by your knees, probably easier to get your phone.)

That said, thank you for this thread, ordered a couple of the ones listed here as a stopgap until incipio (often fit other holsters) and Seidio arrive.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:

Got to play with my N5 for the first time today :)) and loving the phone! It looks great IMO. Anyways, I tried a naked N5 and placed it into my N4 Active Holster and that fit perfect with minimal movement. and the phone is not going anywhere. Here's a pic

I also tried it with the Spigen Ultra hybrid case. It fits, but the top lever that secures it, but it not 100% that it will not fall out. I forgot to snap a pic but trust me lol

[Nexus 5 Accessories] 6yPyHDyK:
Today I received my Blackberry Z30 holster from Amazon.ca ($22.58 including shipping and taxes). Blackberry part number is ACC-57199-001

Still getting used to it.

The quality is excellent, and the case looks professional - as expected from an original Blackberry unit.

Case is a tad too wide for Nexus 5, and the phone moves a little bit inside. It does not bother me. Buttons are accessible, but it is too easy to press the power button when you are pulling the phone out. I prefer to insert the phone upside down because of that.

The case has smartcover-like functionality: Nexus 5 enters the sleep mode automatically when you put the phone in the holster, and wakes up when you pull it out. Weird thing: it auto-sleeps in any position, but auto-wakeup works only with phone inserted head-up/screen-out.

The belt clip is located fairly low, hence the phone sticks out ~3 cm above the belt. If the user is overweight to the point when body fat is overhanging and sloshing around the belt on the outside, this case will not work. I guess, the reason was to accomodate the large phone without affecting the user's ability to get in and out of vehicles - some cases can be really uncomfortable of just fall off when exiting a car: my old HTC Legend has had its share of pavement contacts.

I used to use phone belt holsters but that was back in the days of the flip phone. Motorola V360 :laugh: But I do plan on getting a belt holster/case combo for the Nexus 5 as even pulling my last smartphone out of my front pocket wasn't easy at times and it was only a 4.7" screen.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I have been using holsters from Seidio for a while. I currently use the Seidio Dilex for the Nexus 5 and this holster can fit pretty much any tpu case, the Rock Slim elegant flip case, the aluminum bumpers and the generic tpu bumpers on ebay. I also used the combo holster with the Seidio Ledger case and it's awesome (Besides of the issue of the soft rubber backing rubbing off).

I use a belt holster because I have keys in my pocket and it's a simple clip to clip in my jean pocket during the weekends. So it's a must for me.
