waist holster with case on captivate

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.

My criteria for a good phone case, help me find it.

-Fully protects the camera from the phone resting on it when you lay the phone on a hard flat surface face up.
-Fully protects the screen if you lay the phone face down on hard surface by having the case touch the surface and not the screen.
-Fits the phone snuggly and entirely and is stylish to boot
-Phone doesn't become a hassle to remove from your pocket because of the case material
-Case protects phone from dropping at average walking heights where you would be carrying the phone (4-5 feets) shock absorbent material
-Volume buttons and power button protected yet easy to push
I wouldn't mind buying a case that comes with a screen protector too, anyone know of any deals down this road?
What cases fit this criteria? I went to BestBuy today to check out what they had and I was very disappointed.
Recommendations would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

Trident Cyclops, Mine should be in today, I will let you know how it goes. There is a 30% off deal on slickdeals.net, just search for Evo 4g.

+1 for the Otterbox Commuter. It also has covers for the audio input on top and the HDMI / USB on bottom.

I got the splash CRUISER Slim-Fit PolyCarbonate Slider Case + Belt Clip Holster Combo for HTC EVO. It works pretty well. I would post a link but I'm not allowed to. It can be found on amazon.

Thanks for the help guys! I was looking at the Otterbox Commuter case on Amazon.com and the reviews are terrible for it, any idea why?

Hard case with a holster or a belt clip (smaller than the Defender)

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.
Edit: here check it out....

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.

You can? A nice tight fit? I've heard that the Commuter case is slippery. Is it?

Fits perfect with the screen facing inwards. Its a tad too slippery ibdeed.

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.

I would say the D30 cases from t mobile. Bought one of amazon for $10, Fits like a glove and protects pretty good.

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.

Because I use a holster, went with the Seidio Active.

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.

Good to know, question though does it have a screen guard like the otterbox defender does. I prefer it not to.

I just bought the Ballistic SG case yesterday, will report back when it arrives. I already have a TPU and a heavy duty case so I was looking for a mid range protection.

No it doesn't have a screen protector.
Some things I like about the case:
1. Phone seems pretty well protected but I can't tell you for certain because I haven't dropped my phone yet.
2. Assembly / disassembly is rather simple.
3. No screen protector
4. Cut outs leave a lot of space so accessing the headphone jack and charging port is easy.
Things I don't like:
1. The back of the case is rather slippery.
2. The rubber on the corners is somewhat loose, which could be a problem if it loses elasticity.
I think the Trident Cyclops case is better than the Ballistic in most areas. However, I'm using the Ballistic regularly because the the adapter on my headphones won't fit in the headphone port using the Trident case.

My Ballistic SG case came in today, fits great, nice wide cutouts and a matte texture on the back so its not slippery.

My case came yesterday, it is a great. It fits very well, buttons are very easy to access w/o getting pressed inadvertently. It is not slippery at all either. To me there are only two downfalls, one being that it covers the Moto dimple and the other being that the lips are a little tall on the front making the quick camera swipe a little tricky but still doable.

I found the Ballistic case for the Nexus 5 to be fairly slippery on the sides, but less so on the back. Is the Ballistic case for the Moto X the same (lightly rubberized on the back only)?

Yes the sides of the Ballistic SG case are hard plastic and slick compared to the back. Case is not slippery though.
