Belt Holster?

I'm looking for a belt clip holster for my Captivate. I want one that holds the phone horizontally, and something with a magnetic flap. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I found one at Best Buy that fit with the soft Body Glove case on. I think the name was Rhino-case or something like that. I'm probably going to keep looking, the belt clip on this one isn't all that great.

I saw one like your talking about on one of the forums. It was an OEM holster that had a metal tag on it that said "Galaxy S". I haven't been able to find that holster for sale OR find the originally forum article where I saw it

This is what I ordered yesterday off Amazon. Just got shipped, so I haven't personally examined it, but it fits the description of what you need.

Rajendra, I bought something similar off ebay a while back for my last phone, and the leather around the belt clip started ripping after 2-3 months of use. I'd really like something that's going to last at least a year or two, if not longer.

It looks very wide to me - for a thicker phone. Much like a lot of the universal cases.

I have the body glove case from AT&T and with that, it fits pretty nicely into the spring loaded holster case for the Droid X from Verizon! Lol
I'll put up some pics if anyone's interested or whenever I get the chance

I'm interested...

If you could post pics it would be nice.

Best case, IMHO, is the Case Logic ITEM # CLP403SPH.
Simple clean lines, fits like a glove, black leather with contrast tan stitching and suede tan inner lining.
I search for several days and found this case at Target for $20.

I would love to see how it looks

Here's a little video... Sorry I was too lazy to find my camera so the closest thing was an Ipod Nano lol
One thing that does worry me about this is that the screen has to face out so it can be pretty nerve racking if you bump into things a lot...
You can make the screen face in, but it won't fit if you have a case on. It also doesn't feel so secure.
One of the main reasons I like this though is that I can keep it secured, out of my pocket, and I can still leave my earphones on it listening to music! (I messed up quite a few earphones jamming my devices into my pocket with them plugged in)

Hm.. Seams like we can make car mount with this combo as hxxp://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=16992427&postcount=2

I just had to see if I liked the holster you were talking about so went to the store and asked for it. It was in the back and when he came out had a different one. I like it better and the face is in.
All it says is " shell/holster combo". of course I only used the holster.
29.99 cost. Works right though with the body glove on. Solid too.

I got this delivered from Amazon today. Seems very well made for the price, and fits the naked Captivate perfectly. Unfortunately it is way too tight with the body glove on, so it's either one or the other.

Oh nice! I really like the spring loaded feature on mine, but I think it's more important to cover the face! Lol.
Can you still plug in earphones with it clipped on the case? Is it also really easy to put on and remove?

yes it is. I wonder if just the belt clip is available separately? Don't really need the cover. Might be cheaper. Like me.

I moved from a Tilt2. I have been using a Palm Treo case since my old Tilt. While looking for a case, I used the Treo case with the Body Glove cover. I was planning to use it until I found a better fitting case. It was too tight a fit to use.
In the past couple of days, the case has been forming it to the phone and now it fits perfectly. I buy these things a couple at a time so when they wear out, I have another. It looks like I'll be using this case until I cannot find it anymore.

Here's links to 2 Droid X cases at Verizon.

From what i understand you'd need to have your sgs2 out of the case for the official samsung one. (can't verify that from personal experience)
I can't post links since i'm new here, but if you google "Omniholder" you'll find a universal mount that might suit your needs.
Sorry about not being able to provide a direct link!

Thanks for the reply, I have since found a post on here which recommends some car mounts.
The Exomount looks good.
Thanks again

I found one that works with case fitted!
I bought one that fulfills you needs from e-bay a few days ago. I can't post links, so search for "ulette10" member's items (I think no other seller offer this item), and you will find the holer soon.
I'm very satisfied with it, I tested with two different cases (a TPU and a rubbery one) and worked percfectly with both. Easy insert and not as easy remove (but not hard). Has a really goot suction feet and a ballhead for easy orientation.
And it's cheap, at least compared to original Samsung car holder (of course it's a passive one vs. the OEM is active - i.e. charges the phone, I think).

I just got the Brodit 511258 mount, which is designed to work with thin (e.g. TPU) cases. Seems to work pretty well with mine. Harder than hell to find -- no one in the US sells them, so I had to go to clove.co.uk.

I'm using mine with a Brodit SGS2 adjustable holder with phone in a Casemate Tough. Fit's nicely.

Many thanks to all of you for the replies.
I will look at all the suggested in car holders.

I can recommend the Breffo SpiderPodium. Works great and is more than just a car holder too

Any chance of some pics?
I've been using Brodit for several years now but ended up buying the official Samsung car holder for some reason. Unfortunately, it'll require the removal of my Case Mate Tough Case each time, which may become tiresome.
So I may end up going down the Brodit route again, especially if the holder you refer to will accept the phone with a case on.

Phone style case?

Are there any good phone style cases (not a sleeve of folio) available? I like my switcheasy case on my ipod touch so i was hoping to find something similar. Thanks

I am also using one of the cheap $5 ones from Amazon and it works great.
It also came with a free no lint screen wipe that I keep in between the kind and the case to clean screen at will so it was a plus.
The one linked above looks nice and maybe more solid, but this thing fits perfect and was only $5.
