I've found a really cute and light case on eBay but it's labelled as a I9000 case. Will it work with Vibrant?
http://cgi.ebay.com/PINK-PERFORATED...126136?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a60340938
It should fit, the vibrant is pretty much the same size as the i9000
yes, everyone seems to say they are about the same size, but i have a replacement battery door and several cases marked for the i-9000 and they work perfectly including button, camera, and speaker cutouts...if i didnt know any better, any accessory for the i9000 will fit the t959. obviously except for ones that handle the front...because...you know...the different buttons
if you look closely at the bottom of the battery cover on the inside, it even says "i-9000"
this is a nice bonus since the i-9000 is everywhere...the other US variants dont get as much attention
Thanks guys
That's basically the i9000 mesh case except not genuine and...pink
It will fit.

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
I'm looking for a universal sleeve (like with BlackBerrys) that fit the Captivate. The inner material has to be really soft, so as not to scratch the phone (obviously). Does anyone know of an easily obtainable and inexpensive product that meets this description?
Is this () what you may be looking for? I had bought this for the Samsung Blackjack II. It fits the Captivate nice and snug too. Samsung branded, good quality, its on Amazon for $6.46.
If the link does not show up in this post put a general search on Amazon for "Samsung i607 Blackjack Flat Lthr Pouch".
I got the neoprene case on ebay for the htc evo

it fits the captivate perfectly, but it does have the htc logo on the front that may bother you
pdair makes one specifically for the captivate
http://goo.gl/RYhF
I've been looking for the same thing... EVERYWHERE.... so far this is the only one I can find, and I believe at this point I'm just going to give in and buy it
got my case from pdair... while not what I really wanting it will work...
some more info for those who care:
the inside isn't lined, it's just soft leather.
sides are not solid and by that I mean like this: http://goo.gl/m6Ry obviously different styles but the side is constructed the same, with the top and bottom portions open and a bit of elastic in the middle.
it fits perfect, and it's about as thick/bulky as you'd expect. which leads me to believe it would help a lot in a fall/drop.
seems sturdy and well made all in all a good product.
You could try something like this over at Fommy: http://bit.ly/dAoHBI
I had one like this on my Tilt2 before and worked out pretty well. I was thinking of getting one for my Captivate before I ended up going with a TPU case.
I believe they also have horizontal cases, and other pouches that fit our phones.
they have a case like this at walmart and it didn't fit very well... I guess I'm just worried that a generic case wont fit the phone properly since every generic case Ive tried to fit it in so far has failed to come close to a decent fit.
at $15 I might give it a go though, thanks
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Has any one found one that fits nice and is made for the captivate. I've gone to fry's, bestbuy, radio shack, and walmart, even ones I've found in gas stations don't fit right. Bout to break down and make one.

I bought this when i got my captivate. You can fit the phone in it, but the sleeve is too short for captivate, which block the top part of the sleeve that is meant to close to keep the phone from coming out easily. The phone will slide out if you put the sleeve upside down, but its not a problem for me, so i am still using it.
I too wanted a BlackBerry style sleeve. This is what I use-
krusell-gaia-mobile-pouch
I can't post a link or I would, but I got mine at the AndroidCentral store.
The BB sleeve has those nice rubberized edges to help cushion a fall, and those sleeves are a "little" more stiff than this one, which is mostly just pseudo-leather with a soft inner lining. The edge may still help on a drop, but the most important part...
It goes in and out of your pants pocket nicely while in the sleeve.
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
I was researching some options for my friends Tmo GS2 and i stumbled upon PowerSkin, which seems like the SLIMMEST alternative for extended battery life and its a CASE at the same time!! The way it works is that the case has a built-in battery that would give an extra 1500 mAh that connects to the usb port and it charges like an external battery only that it is attached to the back of your phone and you have a toggle button for whenever you want it to start or stop charging. If you need to charge it or connect to PC, you would have to use the port that comes with the case. The extra mAh brings our ET4G's up to 3350 mAh and the phone doesnt nearly look as horrendous or bulky as our previous options (seidio, hyperion, etc)
Only one issue though: there's no ET4G-specific case. Well according to this guy:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...h-extended-battery-protective-case-combo.html
our phone is identical in make and shape to the Skyrocket and it fit and worked perfectly for him.
Anyone confirm? Will anyone bite? It's $79.99 at your local AT&T store or here:
http://www.shop.power-skin.com/powerskin/samsung/galaxy-s2-skyrocket-att
EDIT: its garbage. let it die
Have you seen how much bulk they add. Makes the phone as fat as a HTC G1. Eeewwww. No thanks . I'm tell in ya it's huge.
I picked up a killer bodyglove case on ebay for $13. Simple, thin, and kickstand for horizontal and vertical use. Sides do not intrude on the display space as well which is a biggy for me. There is a really cool and cheap case on ebay in like 50 colors but it puts a wall around the display.
This Bglove case is Perfect!

I did some research today. The tmobile galaxy s2 is not the same as ours. Some of the differences are: the battery is slightly longer and has nfc in it and is 1850ma, it is ever so slightly slimmer (case was just a hair too small for my phone), the mic is right next to the micro usb port. I didn't get to see in person the att skyrocket but it has the 1850 battery (I'm assuming the same as the s2), the speaker in the back is on the opposite side. Anything else I don't know about that one. I saw in person, the powerskin for the galaxy s2. It is very true the material of the case is crappy. It's rubber like and pretty flimsy. Imagine a snorkel mask silicon where the back of the head strap is. Make it thicker and slightly stiffer and that's what the top part of the case feels like. They should have made it out of similar material as the moxie juice pack cases, if you've ever seen one. It's firm plastic but it wouldn't snap if you bent it. Being a two piece slider case with firm rubber like plastic would be much better. It was a huge mistake to make the micro usb port on the outside of the case for charge only and not sync. It was another mistake to make the plug inside the case, that goes into the bottom phone port, on a wire and not molded into the case. It seems like a good idea but poor execution. I read reviews of the powerskin for the nexus s and people thought it was crappy quality and made the phone very thick. I'll pass on this one. I didn't even try to fit it on my phone since their firm "gel" plastic cases were just barely too small for the edges that go over the outside if the screen wouldn't fully come up and over the top of the glass.
Still today people can't tell that theres a big different between our E4GT and other Galaxy SII. SIZE DIFFERET, YOU DUMB PHUCC Original GS2 case or any other HARDWARE will not FIT our Epic 4G Touch.

Haha, UMAD?
lol okay.

1) im talking about the AT&T SKYROCKET not the Int'l version. look it up, foo.
2) its the most similar GS2 to our ET4G aside from the speaker and camera layout.
3) its an external battery pack that charges from the usb port, thus it will "FIT our Epic 4G Touch".

thank you for the contribution to the thread. it did seem pretty sketchy to me, but i havent found anything else like it so i thought it was worth the looking into
just let the thread die pls
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.
