Same accessories than it's brothers?!

Will the accessories for the original galaxy s or it's brothers from the other carriers will fit the captivate?

I can say that for sure the cases probably wont... Otherwise, the vibrant, captivate, and original galaxy s all have micro usb charging and a 3.5 mm headphone jack according to pdadb.net. I would double check chargers to make sure the voltage lines up and ofc never plug a U.S. phone into a European wall charger even if its micro usb. That aside they also all share bluetooth 3.0 and that website also states they have identical screen sizes.
Hope that answers your question .
However, nothing is guaranteed till lots of people own the phone and can testify on what works and what doesn't.

With the caveat that I haven't seen any of them in person, from eyeballing the various videos of the 4 US models -- and the original SGS -- it looks like certain accessories (think car mounting kits, etc.) won't be sharable between at least some of the units. The Sprint and ATT versions of the SGS are the most unusual in form factor.

From watching a Hands on Video, The SGS and the Captivate have a different form factor.
The most important accessory for me is the car mount so I have no idea how the accessories will work but I can't see them being the same.

Vibrant Yes Captivate No
From what i can tell from the many pictures I've see online. T-mobile has decided to keep the exact same form and desine as the galaxy s. So the accessories should fit. While ATT has had their galaxy s redesigned and relabled the i897. There New form factor does not look like it will fit any of the original's cases. I hope this helps........

the case probably does, and mayb some other things, but not entireley because the outer casing did change a bit...

muffled speaker
the case may fit on the captivate, although not exactly, BUT, if you look at the back there has been a realignment of the speaker on the captivate, thus your speaker would be muffled by and original galaxy s case.

Arm Band

Has anyone came across any armbands for GN?
Will SGS2 ones fit our phones?

I tried a Belkin SII armband, didn't fit at all. Too short and struggled to take it out... Will keep looking.

I found this site - http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-CAB-nexus.htm
But sort of looks a little dodge
& there is also this one - http://docteur-gsm.com/en/samsung-galaxy-nexus/9461-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-armband.html

I'm also interested in this. Saw a few on ebay.com and Amazon, but I am always a bit wary to buy from these sellers, especially when they claim a GN fit but have an iPhone or the like in the stock image.

I am interested in this as well.
thanks

Found this....
http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-CAB-nexus.htm
at least it has an android phone shown in the image rather than iphone....

yeah i found the same link (see above)
Who will be first to order from that site?? I might wait for them to pop up on ebay first

Someone said tunebelts fit. Dude said it fit the same as his Droid X did.
If that helps at all.

That one?

I am looking too...
A problem I see with most Armbands is the position of the headphonejack which is on the bottom on the Galaxy Nexus.
Fitting wise when I checked dimensions of different phones the Desire HD armbands should fit.
Desire HD = 68mm height
Galaxy Nexus = 67.94
So I'm gonna try the Desire HD one from igadgitz.com
It also has the jack on the bottom...

Yep, that's the one he claimed fit his Gnex just like his previous Droid X. He said he thought it fit because the Gnex is thinner than the Droid X.
Can't find original post, sorry.

I just put an order in for this armband. It's on sale for $14 with free shipping. I will report my findings once it arrives.

yes plz do!!

I have been speaking with someone at Tune Belt about their products for the GN and I got this response today:
Hi Adam,
I just got back from the Verizon store and this phone fit into AB84 pretty nicely. The AB84 has to stretch a bit to fit the length of the Nexus. There's a bit of extra depth even with AB84 but it is not too bad. AB85 is way too big.
Best regards,
Richard

So I think I will be buying one here shortly and I will let you know my experience. For reference, here is the product link: http://www.tunebelt.com/ab84

nice, thanks for the info!

Might have to try the TuneBelt product...

I got the same reply from Tunebelt, AB84. Said it's at the limits in length, but the headphone jack lines up nicely.

I have a suggested mod for any of the tunebelt products. The attached pics are from their waistband, but will easily work with the others as well. I don't trust velcro, and because the GN is slightly larger than other phones...even more so. I've used this belt for my OG Droid as well as my HTC Thunderbolt, but ain't takin' chances on this gorgeous new phone.
For $2 at Walmart, you can grab a kit of (I think 8) snap buttons. Very easy to install. You can do it right through the velcro, or use a sharp blade and shave the velcro patches right off/out (less to push through). Line up your rivets,etc on each side of the material and just tap with a hammer on a hard surface. Easy peasy.
LOVE it and don't have to worry about velcro coming undone and my phone flying down the street

I have the tunebelt from my Droid X and it fits, but the problem with almost all of these armbands is that the plastic cover never sits flush on the screen. Thus, the issue is that changing tracks or checking the phone is just all the more difficult while running, etc. Belkin made a great armband for the iPhone 3 (sister's) that sits very flush to the screen. I wish they had a SGN version.
Anyway, keeps us posted on iarmbands product. Would love to hear specifically how the clear plastic skin sits against the SGN screen. Thx.

Recently went to best buy and was looking for arm band case and found this:
[I am not allowed to post the link until I have 8 posts according to forum rules, but if you go to bestbuy.c*m and search for "Rocketfish arm band android" It will locate the product for you]
Although a 'generic' case, it actually fits the Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) pretty well (nice and snug) and the headphone jack lines up with the cutout. I also found it relatively easy to navigate the screen while in the case.
Just though this might help anyone looking for arm band case.

$12.00 dock on ebay

Just wanted to share this dock i found on ebay. Looks way better than the samsung one as it has a simpler design. Looks like an iphone dock.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...ccessories&hash=item19cbf0b955#ht_10221wt_905

If you look at the picture closely you can see that's an international galaxy s2 in the dock our phones have different dimensions than that of the other versions of the galaxy so that dock may not fit your phone at all. A good trick for looking for the proper accessories for our phones, since there are so many versions of it, is including "t989" in any search on eBay or Amazon you do.
Sent from my SGH-T989

Well the dock is made to fit our phones, so of course it will fit the international version as well. I saw a couple of reviews on youtube and the s2 was able to mount with a case. Thats good enough space to fit the extra thickness of our phones. I ordered 2, I will give feedback once I receive them.

Please do. I'm intersted & would like one at the house

I have had this dock (actually 3 of them now) for a few months. Used it with my AT&T Samsung Infuse then with my AT&T GS2 and now with my T-Mo T989.
Fits and works perfectly with the T989 even with the Diztronics case on it. Well worth the price.

You shot the OP down without even reading the ebay description. T989 is one of the compatible devices.

Correct, and it will work with just about any brand "bar type" phone with the jack centered on the bottom. You either use or don't use the rubber insert that comes with it to adjust to size or with or without case. For $12 it's a great buy. If you want it faster there are some US sellers selling it for around $20.

This looks great !! Quick question though. Do you have an hdmi adapter for yours ? I'm looking to basically be able to charge/hdmi out by dropping it in a cradle lol
1 more question. Does the phone feel sturdy enough in it? I'd like to get 1 to modify into a car mount too
Thanks !

[Update 5.16.12] (Magnetic) Steelie Mobile Device Holder W/pics

Anybody heard of this new car mount yet?
Steelie Mobile Device Holder
They also have an iPad tabletop stand.
Just ordered the car kit cause It looks like a great product. I love this idea!!!
The best thing is that if you send them your case. They'll punch a hole in it so that the magnet can mount straight to the phone and is a little more discrete.
They were originally on Kickstarter and almost doubled their goal.
Just wanted to post/support a (what seems to me like a great product) that is MADE IN THE U.S.A.
What do you guys think?
And no I am not affiliated with them in any way.
*****Update 5.16.12*****
Just received the car kit!
Includes:
1 x STEELIE Ball
1 x STEELIE Socket
1 x Alcohol prep pad
1 x Primer stick
1 x Instructions
Uploaded some photo's to show all that is included with instructions.
Also dims of "STEELIE Ball" (for dashboard) and "STEELIE socket" (for phone).
Will update in a few more days with results in
*Ease of use
*Ease if installation
*Durability
*GPS interference (if any)
*Anything you all might ask in the meantime

Im not 100% positive, but i think this will mess your GPS and NFC obviously.

Looks good, went to buy one for holding my Nexus in the car for $35. Went through to Paypal - shipping to Australia? $45!!!! NOPE.

That's unfortunate. Did you try to email them to see if they can help you with possibly offering different shipping options?

Saw these guys at a small town fair in Louisville, CO a week ago. Looked like a good product and the guys who own the company were very enthusiastic and helpful. I specifically asked about GPS interference etc. and they said they'd evaluated several phones with no issues.
I also expressed concern about the size/thickness of the engagement point on the phone and they said that they were working on a lower profile version.
Would really like to see these guys do well. Another small business emerging from middle-class America. Gotta love that.

Similar idea to tetrax, but may be easier to find a mounting spot since it looks like it doesn't need the same sq inch spot if you're not using the vent mounted version.

Wow, this is awesome and perfect for my needs! Just went in for one!
I have a window mount currently but it's a pain if I want to rotate it at all because you have to loosen the ball joint and then tighten it back up. And it's almost impossible to do it with the phone in the holder while keeping it at the angle you want.
That, and the suction cup will fall off from time to time. I've also gotten "yelled at" by a cop for having it up as well, so this will "obstruct my view" way less!
This is so much simpler to use, even though it will add a slight bit of bulk.

Thanks for posting about this here, Iv been researching this product everywhere that I can, but its a hard product to find info about, and whats even worse is that the company has not returned my calls or emails in 3 days since contacting them. Either way I found the steelie product on sale here and I already bought it. http://www.123inkcartridges.ca/accessories-product/ST_C.html and now Im hoping it can be used with my galaxy note i717. Now this is a big phone, probably the biggest and heaviest on the market and im worried it will not work. Does anyone know if my phone will work? Also the steelie on this website looks different than all the other steelie pictures iv found, is the one I bought an older or newer version of the steelie? I already contacted 123 ink cartridges and they assured me that its not counterfeit.

Let us know how the thing feels with a big ol', honkin' magnet on the back of it. I'm intrigued, but think having a magnet the size of a 50-cent piece on the back of my GNex would make my having a pretty custom case rather pointless.
The site also says it doesn't interfere with NFC. I'm dubious and would love to hear from some third parties.

NEVER MIND! the one i bought was a counterfeit... lame. oh well im getting a refund on it.

Any updates?
I see that they offer the Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket for purchase by itself, but dont see it listed for sale anywhere. Would be nice for different cell phone uses that drive the same car. I guess you could always mount it to a easy to swap out phone case if you have the same phone as other users.

[Q] Anyone tried this Aluminum Keyboard case?

Has anyone tried this case on Ebay? It looks a little thicker than I was hoping for. Im trying to find the most portable keyboard I can pair with my Note. I carry it around the office a lot, and it would be nice to have a thin, light keyboard integrated into the tablet as a case/stand.

Um using one for my note and after a lot of research I found out that no better alternative is available as our note lacks heavily in the accessory department( as samsung itself never releases any good accessory for this marvel piece of engineering). Using it for 3 months and the keyboard works flawlessly though the case is not an example of perfection. Still I recommend you to buy this product as it adds beauty to the note and also it is the thinnest case available in this category. Have a look with the note 10.1 inside the case.

Agree keyboard is fine but build quality poor. Also only really has one position for tablet tilt.

There is also this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...73?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item487f2c8435 and this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-For...619?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5d54e37e13, neither of which is so preposterously expensive.
