Howdy y'all,
I have a Captivate and have had a hard time finding a flip style case for it.
I have however found one for the i9000. After doing some research, I found that all 3 phones have the same dimensions... so do you think this case will work for my Captivate?
if its a flip style pouch-like thing then maybe. something like a Body Glove...nuh uh

Forgive my ignorance, but if the phone are the same dimensions, why would the captivate not fit into a Body Glove case?
The flip case that I linked snaps onto the phone... still think it may fit?
While the general dimensions are the same, the actual shape is not the same between the Captivate and the Vibrant/international Galaxy S. If it's a case that fits around the shape of the original Galaxy S, it most likely won't fit the Captivate.
There's a flip type case I found for the captivate from WirelessGround. Looks similar to the one from PDair. In fact, I believe they are the same. Both websites also have videos posted on youtube showcasing their respective cases.
I would post the links for you, but I can't. Don't know if that's what you're looking for, but I hope that helps.
cases are compatible among them all as they have the same cut holes for the buttons and mic areas
except for the 4G Epic which has a keyboard slide out
this is yet another reason why we need this

Thanks xer09aradox. It is what I'm looking for, although they're not as attractive as I was hoping.
It's hard to tell from photos, but does the i9000 have more rounded corners than the Captivate?
If it does, then I can't imagine my Captivate being about to fit into the original case I linked in my first post.
the Vibrant has more an iPhone 3GS look to it while the Captivate has much more defined corners

If your like me you don't like to trust cheap plastic crap to protect your $600 phone, Thats why I have been researching which holsters work with the Vibrant since T-mobile doesn't make a good one themselves. If you have a Silicon skin on your Vibrant then I recommend the holster intended for the Droid X that is linked here http://www.usosmart.com/Motorola_Droid_X_Shell_Holster_Combo_p/vzmotxshc.htm
If you don't have a skin on your phone then I recommend the holster intended for the Droid Incredible linked here
http://www.usosmart.com/Verizon_HTC_Droid_Incredible_Shell_Holster_Combo_p/vzhtcincshc.htm This holster is a tiny bit too small so its a great fit
The Holster/shell combo intended for the Samsung Fascinate might also work for the Vibrant if you have a skin/shell, Link is here
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12283&page=1
I am working on getting pictures for all these holster with the Vibrant fitted inside them.
Why not put the 2 hands in front of you to work and make a vastly superior product that fits perfectly ?
Because every holster I have seen specifically for the Vibrant sucks. There are however some good Skins for it but no holsters I have seen that work with the skin on, Thus the reason for this thread.

So.... not only do your hands not work, your eyes are suspect too ?
Haha... too funny.
Unfortunately, I find that most people have no concept of what it means to create.
Nice holster n2ishun!
I don't think the fascinate one will work because of the bump on the back of the Vibrant right? I was wondering the same thing about the fascinate cases since there seems to be better ones for that (especially Seidio). Anyone try a Fascinate specific case on a Vibrant yet?

I used to carry my G1 in a case designed for a wing. Now my Vibrant with a Case like the Barely There fits in it.
I like to recycle as you can read.

Sure, I'll just go ahead an fire up my 3d printer and 3d scanner and make a case that a large company can't even make. This thread is for people who like to adapt and modify existing hardware, If you don't like it then go away. Actually, let me ask you a question first, Why would you come in a thread specifically about using another phones holster with the vibrant, Then show a case made for it and then act like a ***** because our opinions about exsisting products differ? I don't like universal cases and I personaly think yours is ugly because I dislike leather/suede. EDIT:I found a post in another thread where you said you made that case and if you really did, good job, its not my style but good job.
egrims, I tested the fascinate holster/shell I linked to, The shell won't fit the vibrant but the holster does although its a little loose, If you have a silicon skin on your vibrant it should fit perfectly. As I stated above I am working on getting pictures for all the holsters I mention.
I tried my buddies fascinate combo holster from vzw. It fits pretty snug but the speaker is covered because the fascinate speaker is on the bottom portion of the back. And the camera is covered a tad but pics come out fine.

kentot, Are you talking about the case/holster I linked to in the original post or the one thats just a holster? That one would work if the Vibrant didn't have the "chin" , If you put the vibrant in the case I think your referring to and shake it to simulate running it will fall out cause the bottom isn't held in.
Vibrant in Fascinate combo case from VZW
Yes I am talking about that case. Attached are pics of my Vibrant in the case for the Fascinate. (pics taken by Fascinate)
As you can see the case is pretty snug and will not fall out if shaken, Which I have tested... Vigorously.... LOL
The back shot shows how the speaker is covered and the camera lens is partly covered.
Edit: Bad focus job by me but at least you get the idea
I thought you were referring to a different case then the one I linked. There is a "snap-in" Verizon case for the fascinate that won't work for the reasons I previously stated, basicly it doesn't snap in and any fast movements cause it to fall out
I had a T-Mobile leather holster/belt-clip case for my G1 and the Vibrant fit perfectly into it, a little tight with the T-Mobile gel-skin on it, but it fit all the same. That holster finally fell apart last week and I'm looking for a new one. The universal one that T-Mobile now stocks is too small to take the Vibrant with its gel-skin on.
I'm hoping that Best Buy or someone will have a universal holster that'll take it.
Just a little update
So I got my holster for the Droid Incredible a few days ago and I gotta say I love it. The Vibrant fits in there extremely well and its so snug it won't fall out basicly for any reason so long as the phone is in the holster with the screen face out, With the screen face in the holster isn't snug enough for the phone and it unfortunitly could fall out. Hopefully Otterbox makes a Vibrant case soon and it doesn't make the phone twice as big like with the iPhone cases.
I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Q4AJR2
It came in the other day. It fits the phone perfectly with my gel skin on. And, it was CHEAP.
The quality is great, I can't actually find anything bad to say about it.
http://store.thebluedot.net/Items/c...ase for Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Pouch Pro Skin
Works perfectly fine with Case-Mate Tough Case; perfect fit. Great build. Fast delivery. Search in accessories, somebody has posted pictures of this + tough case in its pocket. Not too tight, not to loose.
the BlackBerry Storm fit prefectly
Dear fellow XDA'ers,
I have recently found something on Youtube and eBay that I'm yet to see anywhere else on the XDA forum.
I'm talking about a German company that supposedly creates CNC machined bumpers and metal cases for Galaxy S2 (which is pretty rare apart from the several Korean/Chinese bumpers).
They have a Youtube account full with videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/creativdesign5
And eBay - http://stores.ebay.de/creativ-design5
Personally, I love their products but I'm wary of their legitimacy due to the lack of content or reference regarding them. Even after thorough Googl'ing, I can't find anything solid or worthwhile on them.
Maybe someone has heard of them before?

Those prices are INSANELY HIGH!!! 54 EURO for an aluminum bumper? I bought my SweetArmor bumpers (which in my opinion are WAY NICER) for like $11.00 CANADIAN each INCLUDING SHIPPING.
These are pretty nice but WOW... What are they lined with... GOLD, PLATINUM, TITANIUM for that price?!
Where did you get your SweetArmor for $11 CAD? Would love to get one at that price to try it out.
I am quite certain these are made from China.
If you look hard enough there are identical products with different branding and cost less.
Similar to the sweet armour.

I just remembered the thread with metal case lineup and had forgotten about the case that is described as IKUBA. In fact, the case is exactly the same as all the Creativ Design5 cases (for Galaxy S2 at least).
I'm not sure how I missed this first time around but I feel embarrassed now.
hmm.. are there other brands of this type of aluminum bumpers? the ones that does not cover the lower part of the phone as that is where the antenna is.. the problem with metal/aluminum bumpers that covers that area is that it greatly affects signal reception.. that's what happened to me when using the akiba metal slider..
cant understand why people want to cover up this beautiful phone in a case

Your claim only makes sense but I am yet to see anyone else with this problem (at least in the threads that I've looked). And check IKUBA but that's the only case I know that doesn't cover speaker/antenna.

It's not gonna stay beautiful for long unless you protect it.
It's just a mobile phone, how long are you gonna keep it? 10 years and you want to protect it!!! The average people keep their phones for a year or two!!!

Since they look exactly the same, I'm going to assume that they are and each party has just decide to stamp their brand on it. So in terms of difference, there should be none.
Hello all,
I've been searching but haven't found any thread's on this yet. If there are, sorry for the repost .
I'm looking for a case for the Note with a hand strap. So far I've only come across the Zenus Galaxy Note Masstige Stripe Print Folder Series which have it.
(Which at this time I can't post a link towards apparently .......)
Does anyone know of any other cases with one of those bands for holding? I think it would be very convenient to have a feature like this on the case. However the striped looked of this particular Zenus doesnt really do it for me ...

I have the case you are referring to; its top notch... Excellent for the Note.
But, if u dont like the look u might be out of luck. I find it attractive.

Sounds like something that would be doable to mod into other cases?
Thanks! Its good to hear that you like the case. I don't think I could easily apply the strap myself without it destroying the case ! I'm thinking of getting the zenus after all cos I haven't been able to find another with this option so far yet. Or another option for carrying comfort
Its very easy to make this strap, I made it myself.
Anyone found a good belt holster case for the Galaxy S3 that is vertical and not horizontal that also covers the screen?
Hey,
I found this one that covers the screen. I have known many people to use it. Unfortunately, it is not vertical. I haven't seen a vertical one for the S3 yet. Sorry

Its a good holster belt case... But i did not like the design i scan some and find a much better one.
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I have a very limited access (well, actually I have NO access) to any case for this phone in my country but I would like to protect my device somehow. Has anyone tried to put this phone into the case dedicated for original Samsung Galaxy S I9000? I know that the shape is a bit different but I wonder if there is any chance that cases for i9000 will fit Captivate as well?

No u can't use .........i9000 fits perfectly for vibrant but it is entirely different to captivate .....only option use some kind of pouch or something like that .....
akarshfrevr is right. I9000 case doesn't fit Cappy at all. I've tried my Cappy with some of my brother's I9000 cases but they didn't work out well.
This TPU gel skin http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Black-TPU-Sk...294862?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c58ea0d4e works very well for Captivate and is very cheap. Combined with a crystal clear screen protector for few more bucks gives the phone very good overall protection. I carry mine in my pocket, often together with my car keys. All I need to do is just to replace the screen protector every once in a while. Not a single scratch on the body nor on the screen.
