Can any one recomend a leather or well made holster for the Captivate?
I see you guys are discussing the bodyglove and other silicon cases but are you just keeping the phone in your pocket? or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Look on ebay.
I got myself the "book" type of a PDair and is pretty nice. Good for suit but without closed jacket as the phone will be pretty much in relief when mounted on your belt. However, if you have a thick belt, forget about it, it simply wont fit

Thanks for the tip.
I bought this one from pdair
PDair Black Leather P01 Case for Samsung Captivate i897
I'm still curious tho do most capt......owners just pocket this big phone?
this phone is as slick and sexy as a phone/Pda can be. some people won't trade that for protection ;-) so, yes, i think that they do keep it in the pocket

do u guys think that a waist holster will hold my phone with a tpu case on the phone? will it be enough room in the holster? thx for your input
I found some stuff online saying that the Captivate with a Body Glove case is roughly the same size as an HTC Evo, so any Evo case would work for that. TPU case looks similar in size to BG
ok,thx alot for the response. so i should try an Evo case?
Best Buy has a Platinum series holster with a snap on case that looks pretty nice.

Has anyone tried this because I'm using body glove case and would like a holster. I have imo a decent case and screen protector so the holster doesn't have to be expensive.

I just got one at Best Buy today that seems pretty good. It is a snug fit with magnetic catch.

It is a little snug. I am getting used to it and it is a little easier to get out. I don't get it out a lot and once we get bluetooth dialing, I will get it out even less.
I just got one from eBay did a search for captivate holster got a nice leather one with belt loops and a clip with magnetic flap for around 8 dollars I believe works great with me silicon case that I have on my phone without a case on your phone its a little loose however.

The Captivate will fit in a Verizon Motorola Droid X leather case with or without the Body Glove case.
I am looking for a good leather belt clip case for my Atrix, anybody know where I can get one? I searched Amazon and no good ones out there.

Same here...only one i've seen so far is the otterbox....but it's very bulky. I hope theres other option coming soon.
Yeah bought the otter box but I will be returning it. The case makes the phone too large. Also the clip holster is huge as well.
I bought the bodyglove case from att.com and picked up a universal bodyglove smartphone pouch this morning at walmart. Now my phone is protected and I can carry it on my belt.

I tried an Atrix 'thin' case from a mall kiosk today for $10 and was about to grab it until I found I couldn't really use the fingerprint scanner. It seemed that either the hole wasn't big enough or the material was too thick around the fingerprint reader.
I too am looking for a belt-clip case that swivels with no magnet for the Atrix.
write to seidioonline... they make great clips...
I'm using the feather case in a droid x plastic belt clip swivel holster. Works great! The holster is a lil taller than the phone tho. It worked great on my captivate as well. Would def. Recommend to anyone that wanted easy access to the phone asap

Why no magnet? Does that cause a problem?
Reason I ask is that I found a Duracell leather carrying case at the dollar store that has a magnetic closure in the flap. I figured I'd wait and get the protective case (probably a Body Glove Mirage or an Incipio Feather) first than then confirm that it fits in the Duracell case before buying it. It's a really nice looking belt-clip carrying case.
magnets are what causes it to go into the car docking app i believe, so it would cause it to launch whenever a magnet gets near it
I am using one from an old Samsung blackjack and it fits perfect. A lot cheaper than anything coming out also!
I bought a nice universal one for 30 from att fits perfectly and I can charge while its closed

Followup about the Duracell leather case. The Atrix naked will barely fit longwise. With a Body Glove Mirage case on the phone, the Duracell case is too tight.

I don't believe that is correct. AT&T sells an AGF Premium Leather Case for $39.99 (too pricey for me)
The description reads:
AGFs Premium Leather Pouch is made from beautifully crafted leather. This case is equipped with special sleeper magnets so that when your device is placed in the case, it automatically goes into sleep mode and helps preserve your battery life. AGFs Premium Leather Pouch also includes our 180-degree rotating belt clip, allowing for adjustable placement and maximum comfort. Our attractive magnetic flap, with a contrasting leather stripe, makes securing your phone amazingly simple. This pouch has all the utility you'd expect, paired with the style you want.

So apparently magnets don't make the phone activate the car docking app.

Not so fast. Apparently ATT just generalizes. Just check the problems everyone is having from this case from the reviews at ATT.

Yeah they really do. I absolutely love the clip for my Blackberry 9700. It was a shame they didn't have a solution for my Captivate (without using their case). Definitely hope they do something for the Atrix though!
Anyone know of any hard cases like Seidio makes with a clip in holster for the Atrix ....I really need one and seidio is taking forever to release theirs

like Chongo said. And it's not even really a "hard case". it's a double layer case.... with one layer being capable of attracting lint from alternate dimensions. I don't often use cases.... but to be completely honest, i'm much happier with this slim case i got off of eBay for a few bucks that i've been using for about 2 weeks than i was with the Defender that i used for a day.

Nice, yeah if you need form fitting then otterbox is not for you. I work in nightclubs often so I use it for then but other then that I keep her naked... I love this phone.

I got the body glove when I bought the phone. I is very well made and fits great. it is pretty thin, so it doesn't bulk the phone up too much. I also bought the leather case (att premier store for 20 bucks) with the magnet that puts the phone to sleep when you close it. nice feature. swivel ratcheting belt clip. It fits the bare phone nice and snug. It is supposed to work with tight fitting covers, but I can't see one being thinner than the body glove, and that will not slide into the case well at all. way to hard to get back out. I do reccomend the body glove for a thin rubbery case, though.

Try the Incipio Feather case at Radioshack with the leather case
I tried out the VZW gel case but it felt too slippery (+too expensive!) so I returned it.
I am looking for that style of case but something with a little more grippage.
Is anyone using something they could recommend?
Thanks
Hey. I don't have this case in my possession just yet, but the Xoom case Genius by Zoogue was my definite choice! Its leather, so not may have the grippyness you prefer, but it looks amazing! It can be used as a stand, a full body cover, car head rest mount, and has a strap so you can wrap it around your hand. I preordered a while back and should have it soon. This brand has high praise for their genius cases.

I think I'll be getting an otterbox defender case for mine..
...
+1 for Otterbox!
I am trying to find for a nice hard case, but for me the option to wear the phone on the belt is important. So I am looking for something slimmer than the Otterbox Defender but with more or less the same functionality. I saw a lot of hard cases around and still non offers the combination of a case and a belt clip (other than the Defender - I had it for a couple of days and it is fat to bulky for my taste)
So I am opened for suggestions - please share your information. Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I think you can try some metal case. But the finishing of the metal case on the market can be terrible. Don't try those case listed on EBAY. They are cheap but bad. Thick metal layer and poor finishing. Also they are not as hard as the metal you are used to know.

Thanks for the answer - in my opinion the metal cases do not provide the necessary protection - you need a soft plastic part to absorb the shock of a fall and a hard one to take the initial blow
And the hybrid cases provide really nice protection - but most of them are too bulky. And a belt clip is an important part as well
Here is a case that fits your description. Had one on my inspire for a while And liked it.

Thank you for the reply. Its a nice case, but I don't think it comes with a belt clip
The Seidio cases offer what you're looking for. If you don't like the Surface, the Active series would better suit your needs since has the softer cover and the harder shell as well as a holster. There's also a version that comes with a metal kickstand

It does have a holster, if you look around you will find it.

I had the same case for the s2. Ive been through 2 of them in a months time. The clip will snap off if there is any kind of a harder bump while clipped onto your belt. I would pass on it. Spend a little more money for a nicer case that wont break on ya right away.
Thank you all for the suggestions and comments. So I think I will go in the direction of Seidio - does anyone know the dimensions of the active and the surface cases?
How much bigger is the active case?
I was unable to find the dimensions on the web page
I use this holster http://www.niteize.com/product/Clip-Case-Cargo-Tall.asp and this case http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...ualPro-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp. The case is thin but protective and the holster is tough and protects the phone.

I had the Seidio surface from Best Buy but 1) It was very slick and would slip out of your hands 2) Didn't have a kickstand. I went with the Seidio active from Versio Mobile.Com and couldn't be happier. It is a 2 part case, isn't that much bigger, or heavier and has the kickstand. Also the entire phone is covered where as with the surface case it didn't. Additionally the cut out for the MICRO/MHL plug is bigger on the active which will enable you to use more charging cables. The hole on the surface case only allowed me to use the Samsung cable.
