Anyone seen one for the tbolt. I really got hooked on the one that came with the N1.
I like my N1 neoprene sleeve as well. It was much easier for me to slide the device in and out of a neoprene than to pull a silicone-covered device out of my pocket!
The silicone cases tend to grab your pocket material and can be harder to slide out.
I agree the silicone cases stick to the material of jean pockets. Also it kinda sucks its a pain to get the phone in the car dock with a case on it.. pretty sure I'm done with the case
What exactly is a Neoprene sleeve?
Not if you get the high gloss and sand it down.

It is a soft thin sleeve that protects the phone when not in use. Kind of like a glove for your phone. The only downside is you can't use the phone while in the sleeve like you can with conventional phone cases.

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

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.

I just got my Sena Ultraslim leather case yesterday:
http://www.senacases.com/htc-cases/thunderbolt-cases/ultraslim/
It's a sleeve style case. I got hooked on these after having the neoprene sleeve for my Nexus One. It's a little snug right now, but I think it will stretch out. It doesn't provide a lot of shock protection, but it will protect it from scratches. If you like the sleeve form factor, I would recommend this case.
The name sounds like a condom brand, lol.
hooked on neoprene pouch from nexus as well. Please post how you like this one after some use =)

So far, it's...okay. I like the look and feel of it, but its just a little snug right now. It makes sliding the phone in and out a little tough (no pun intended despite the condom jokes in the thread). I'm hoping this will get better as it breaks in.

I carry my Atrix in a Commuter in my pocket all the time. My buddy has his Atrix in a Defender and he likes to use the belt clip. The Commuter is def more pocket friendly than the Defender. I wouldn't want to carry the defender in my pocket if that helps.. As far as it coming loose, I doubt that would happen with either Otterbox case.
Defender - Hard plastic inside, rubber out
Commuter - Rubber inside, hard plastic out

Have you noticed the rubber warping a bit? Mine is a little loose now, and I'm not sure if its because its too hot in the pocket...
Yep. warping on the bottom. Did anyone ever realized that the belt clip can be used as a stand?... I dropped my jaw to the floor. Just push the belt clip all the way till it clips.

I have A commuter on my atrix and it's probably the best case I've ever had on any phone. It's flush with the phone at every point and hasn't warped, at least for me. I highly recommend it

Yea, a few of us have posted on other threads that the Defender silicone will warp and not fit correctly. I've replaced mine already and within a few days it started doing the same thing. Waiting for Ballistic to get around to making these.

I am using this case with my Atrix and it's very protective, but for that reason it's bulky. If you know you are gonna doing some heavy duty use with your Atrix - I recommend this case. Haven't had the warping issues described by other posters.
I'm selling a lightly used commuter... pm me if interested

I have had all 3 otterbox cases/phone covers/shells whichever you'd like to call them.
Impact was junk, just a slip on case, spend the extra 5 bucks of whatever to get the Commuter.
Commuter is sweet, I use it as my every day cover when I'm not at work my only complaint is that the rubber around the top speaker and camera is stretched looser than a porn star's asshole but the case looks and performs well. A screen protector is a must since the commuter does not have a built in one like the defender.
Defender is pretty sweet, I do construction and i am constantly banging into things and I have to use my phone a lot. It's very durable and keep it protected I dropped it off the 4th story of the retirement building that's going up and I ran down and picked it up and works perfectly. Obviously it's far too big for fit in pockets, hahaha. Hence the reason it comes with the belt clip, it looks and performs its job superbly. My only gripe is the rubber sometimes gets loose around the edges but that's no big deal.

+1 I don't do construction but I really like the defender as well. All the protection is really reassuring
I even learned to like the bulkiness it adds cuz with this case the phone looks brutal,
since i unpacked my atrix i wear it in a commuter case, it fits just fine and it makes it a bit bulkier and stylish.
i recognized the rubber is stretching through the physics i learned in school - on very hot days the rubber doesnt fit THAT exactly, but nothing i cant handle with.
i will never buy anything else than otterbox for my phone ^^
i guess the commuter series is hot on the top of what u need of an protective case - i still got no problems with the delivered screen protector, no touch issues.
if you prefer wearing your device on your belt you may pick the defender series
hope this helps
So after all the advice i went with the commuter. But....where could I get a belt clip for it? (other than ebay)

The commuter doesn't have one. Just use a generic "pda" case. NiteIze has some really good ones.

I'm currently switching between the white body glove case from T-Mobile and the PDair leather case. I really like the leather case cause it protects my screen.

D3o cases are junk. Especially the ones with the softish plastic backing. The all black one piece is alright,but still junk.
The ones with the colored plastic backing are prone to cracking just be taking off the case. Big no-no since I wash my case periodically.
On top of that, the 3.5mm slot is too small. Only slim jacks fit while the d3o case is on. I'm not willing to change my Sennheisers just because design flaws of the case.
Don't forget how much force it takes to push the power button. Over time,this can damage the power button by recessing it in. I switched to the white body glove. Its properly designed and does what I need it do.

i have a case similar to this, one of the amazon variants.
any who i really like the design, especially the thick corners which is what many times takes the impact of the drop. i have not had problems with screen bubbling up either
I purchased the white body glove case from tmobile store and its doing the job. I've dropped the phones a couple of times already, and its still doesnt show any scratches unless your eyeball is touching the case.
I got one from moster accessory website called the black transfusion hard cover case an I really like it as my second case. My first case was the D30, but the transfusion case was more cheaper than the d30.

I came upon an older Targus holster for Palm PDAs back from 2000. Its got that old brown leather look with a velcro snap and velour interior padding. Enough room for my Herc wrapped in its TPU.
