I use my SGS2 for lots of things and when I'm at home would like to find a dock that will take the phone while still in it's Casemate Tough case....so a little wider and deeper in the dock basically.
Ideas?

I can't be certain of the Casemate Tough Case, but my SGP Neo Hybrid case will work with the ZENiS charger dock. The dock actually has a rubber adapter (for the SII without any cases) that you can remove for the SII with a case. From a quick glace, the Neo Hybrid looks similar in dimensions with the Casemate Tough Case though.

Can anyone recommend a good horizontal leather pouch for the Captivate? Something not too bulky preferably.
I'm looking as well.
Have an old Krussell case that I bought for my 8125, and also used with my Fuze. Works ok with no skin on the captivate, but won't fit with a silicone skin on it.

I have been using my blackberry bold holster for the phone since I got it. It doesn't fit super tight but it works. The reason I have been using that holster over something that samsung has put out so far is it has the quick connect rotatable clip which I love.
I've been looking through tons of case threads. I own the incipio that Verizon sells and the seidio active. Both great case but the incipio became tinted and gross and the seidio is a dust and dirt magnet and my phone ends up with dust inside the case and scratching the back a bit. I love how both these cases look (I have the white of both) I love the sizing and I love the hybrid design. I just need a bit of dust protection the Trident kraken looks nice but I'm afraid it will be gigantic and make my normal teenage use annoying. Anyone with suggestions chime in. If possible I'd love to see pictures of cases too.

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!
P.S: After getting some replies (by the way thanks to everyone, who replied) I decided to create a small list with the alternatives. Here it comes:

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.

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 don't have a top 3 but i've owned the trident aegis and neo hybrid and sent them both back cos of problems with the buttons.
currently I have the seidio active with kickstand which is ok but I find it slippy in the hand. I also have a cheap tpu case which is pretty good but got the acase super legerra this morning which is superb. good grip, not much bulk, buttons work great and fits perfectly and only £10!
Samsung orginal is the best one
poor build quality but best suitet
Look no further. The Acase Superleggera Pro is where it's at.

I use a Case Mate POP! For my Kickstand Case, a Spigen Modello for my thin case, and I just purchased 3 cheap duel layer mesh cases that I can change out the different color layers to mix things up. Hands down best case is the Acase.

Seeing as I've read the OtterBox clip breaks easily, I decided to purchase this:
AMAZON: (Do a search for it)
Canvas Vertical Heavy Duty Case with Metal Clip and Velcro Closure Big Enough to Fit the Otterbox Defender Case for Samsung Galaxy Nexus i515. Comes with Antenna booster.
It's cheap and it fits the GNex (even with the OtterBox case!). This plus a case make for a good combo. I personally have the Incipio SA-204 case. Not too thick, and plenty of protection. Though make sure you get a screen protector as well.
Thanks for the reply. Id like one that doesn't require a case though. One that I can put my phone into completely and protect it. A holster type
