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
Here's a little something interesting for you guys. I'm looking for a very specific type of holster and I am in need of your mass searching skills to come up with one that meets my requirements. The first person to find one recieves $5. However, it must match EVERY requirement that I will list below. If even one thing is off it does not count but I would like to see it anyways. If nothing is found that meets every requirement, I will award the $5 to the best one I see fit here.
Here are the list of requirements:
All leather (preferably genuine but will accept cheap if it's the only option out there)
Must be a minimum of a horizontal-only holster *No Vertical-only*
(Even better if it has a swivel belt clip but it has to be able to fit horzontally on the belt)
Must have a cut out for BOTH the headphone jack AND the micro-USB port *No Exceptions*
Must fit extended battery with extended back cover
Preferably black leather but may consider other colors
Phone must not be attached to the holster
(Must be meant to easily slide in and out and not made to use in the holster)
Phone must be held in from all sides (no unprotected openings on one side)
If you can find this match I think you well deserve the $5. Best of luck to everyone. Find me something nice.
I can't say for sure about extended... but extended isn't that much bigger, and considering leather stretches more than plastic... it would probably fit

I actually saw this just before and there's a few things I can't tell about this case. Is the phone attached to the case to use it (or is it meant to slide out easily)? Does the headphone cable slide out with the phone or do I have to disconnect it everytime I slide the phone out and then reconnect it again while it's in my hand?
The one almost appears to be more of a case with a belt clip rather than a slideable holster. I will consider it but let's see what others can find. Oh and direct links to cases only, no search result lists.

4th pic shows the accessible earphone and ability to remove from pouch without disconnecting earphone... as for charging, cut out a small slot?
I've looked at more holsters than I ever thought I would.. it seems in all of them you would have to cut some sort of slot to get all your features.

First one was direct. Second one wasn't really (there's a bunch of cases on there not just that same case in other colors).
Something like this is almost perfect: Link
I just wish the front didn't flip out and it didn't have that clear screen protector built-in.

I actually also saw this one. This is also almost perfect I just wish it had the charging slot already there (I don't want to do any modifications, hence why this is not such an easy find).
Something like the mix of this one (no flip front) and the one in my previous post (cut outs for headphones and charger + rotating belt clip) would pretty much be exactly what I need.

As for this... you can (ghetto, I know) glue the flip out part to the leather border, then cut the straps on the right side (not the securing magnetic strap but the ones connecting the frame to the back) this way you have a pocket and can remove the phone from the side.
Not ideal - but yep, definitely can't find the ideal one
Edit for reply about no mods: Sorry buddy, did my best.. hopefully someone else can weigh in

No problem. Thanks for helping either way. I will consider these since this is actually the best I could find as well but let's see if anyone else can dig up something interesting. Thanks again for your effort.

i like noreve cases, been using them since i had a nokia 6630, and have one on order for the galaxy nexus as well
i wouldnt recommend going with the top 2 class of leathers, since they do take some effort to maintain them, although they do look nice

Hmm, very interesting case but boy what a price. I can't tell if this is a case or a holster though. It looks like it's just a case with a belt clip. Also although they mention access to the charging port but I don't happen to see that on those photos. Unfortanatly there are quite a number of things limiting this for me but thank you for showing this anyways. I appreciate your effort.

I'm not after your reward, so you can keep it, i'm only here to help in all ways.
I will be going to shenzhen china in about a weeks time, they have plenty of these, i'll have a look for you, but as mention, finding one that has the openning for USB and headphone socket at it's right place isn't easy, but find a leather holster that hangs horizontal that fit's the gnex isn't hard, but no promises.
As for cost, sholdn't cost more than USD 10 not including shipping.

Final Bump
I've searched ebay top to bottom for a thin as possible leather case but cant find 1.
i dont want the case to be bulky or to protect the whole phone, its simply to stop any dust and any scratches to the phone.
any ideas?

Unfortunately stilgut v2 is made of PU leather, not of genuine one.

http://www.stilgut.com/fuer-samsung-galaxy-note/ultra-slimcase-v2-f-galaxy-note-n7000---cognac.php
Stilgut seems to sell by its own and ships to GB. I would suggest this one that's made of real leather:
http://www.stilgut.com/fuer-samsung-galaxy-note/exkl-ledertasche-ultraslim-f-galaxy-note-buchtyp.php But it has no stand function.
I don't know if you can find stilgut v1 anywhere to buy since they seem to have replaced v1 (real leather) with v2 (faux leather).
Anyways, many people seem to be happy with their stilgut v2 made of faux leather. But personally I don't like this material.
Edit: Great thing about stilgut cases is that they don't use magnets (which may interfere with your note / s-pen) to close the case. They use a pretty clever solution.

If i go ahead and buy this 1, do you think there would be any problems? or will it be simple as buy it, pay for it, give details and await delivery?

Of course I cannot promise anything since I have nothing to do with that company. But it's a confidential German manufactor from Berlin where many of my friends including myself bought cases for different devices and there was not one single problem so far. Very slim, great quality!
I have no stilgut case for my galaxy note, so I don't know the one I suggested you. But on the pictures it looks good.

If a pouch style is acceptable to you,I'm very happy with mine from Lucrin... a bit costly,but the leather is very high quality and I find the thin pouch very easy to slip in and out of any pocket. I also have one for my xoom. Just google Lucrin.
Ah, ok, in pouch style I can recommend this bag, which I own:
http://www.amazon.de/mumbi-Galaxy-N...D89I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1337351242&sr=8-4
(maybe available in UK too, don't know.)
Great quality, real leather, perfect fit, very cheap.

Thanks - Great quality and choice of colours it seems..
would you mind posting pics of your case please? Can you please comment on practicality of the case - is it cumbersome to keep taking the phone out of the case everytime you want to use it or see who's calling?? does it offer much protection against a fall? cheers
I'd like to get a wallet cover like the "Twelve South Bookbook for iPhone" (cant post link) for my Galaxy Nexus. Any suggestions?

Nah, that doesn't look like a book at all. I want something deceiving that looks like quality.
i would get this if it didnt have the clasp on the side of it.

Still not quite what I'm looking for, but it was a nice suggestion. I agree about the clasp issue though.
You could always just cut the clasp off. If you're lucky its stitched in on the back and you can just cut it along the stitching. Usually works out pretty good - like cutting sleeves off of a t-shirt.
I don't like these types of cases because they block the front LED indicator which is nice as I keep my phone on silent/vibrate most of the day.
I found this http://goo.gl/WPsP1 for the S3 and i think i'm gonna buy it for my SGN. The S3 and SGN have almost similar size (with a few millimeters diference) and i think i can modify the case for my phone. All i need to do is cut the leather that's holding the phone in place and glue a hard case. Then the only thing to do is make the camera hole a little bigger and hide the two other holes with some cool decorations or something.
Will post back if i do continue with my plan.
I always wondered how you take pictures with the covers. Do you have to just let the cover dangle? My mom has an S3 and I won't buy her the cover/case for this reason.

Probably yes, no other options from what i can see.
Also, IMPORTANT UPDATE, i found this case http://goo.gl/Mv8Ys from ioffer.com (i've been a customer there for a long time and trust them) and i asked if they have the case without the holes for the camera at the back. They answered yes, so i'm gonna buy the case from them and use it for my SGN.
I just cant wait for it to arrive. I'll update when i receive it.
Does the S3 cases fit to SGN?
No, but you can easily cut the S3 case down and glue a SGN one in place.
You just need to be carefull.
Hi!
Don't know if I should post this here, but... Is there any template to customize this case?
Thanks for all!

It comes with the case. You can also reach out to Ringke to get the template.
I made a template for my Note 4's ringke case a while back using illustrator. It's in the note 4 forums if you are interested in downloading it and modifying it yourself
Can I ask an incredibly obtuse question but why do you need a template for a DIY case if they are selling the s8+ case for ~$10? Seems like a lot of work for something already being produced.

Not sure if i understand your question correctly, but you don't actually make the case. OP is asking for a template for a case which has a clear back which lets you print out your own design for the back of your phone. OP here is the link to the template i made for the Note 4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/ringke-fusion-template-t2935822/post56654019#post56654019, I'm not sure how difficult it'll be but i think it would be pretty easy to adjust for your S8+. Good luck
