Is anyone looking for a combination of a rugged case for the Captivate that allows you to carry it in your pocket, but also keep the case on while in a belt case? I am a big fan of the Otterbox cases for their build quality and their top notch protection. On my Captivate, I use the Otterbox Commuter Series case. It is great protection, but has a smooth enough interior for carrying it in my pocket. At other times though, it is easier to carry the phone in a belt case.
Finding a belt case that fits the Captivate with the Otterbox Commuter has been a challenge. I've not been able to find one locally. So I measured the dimensions and got on Amazon. While the dimensions are hard to find listed, I approximated the Droid X and Evo 4G. I narrowed it down to a Reiko model.
Yesterday I received the case, and it fits perfectly! Here is the case:
Just thought I'd share that in case anyone is looking for a similar combination.

No Longer on the Dell Streak
About a month ago, I gave up on the Dell Streak as my everyday phone. The Android 1.6 operating system grew a bit antiquated for my needs, and that made the extra heft of the device too much. I do believe that if the Android 2.2 update had been out in November 2010 or even December, I would still be using the device. I ended up finding a Samsung Captivate on craigslist and selling my Streak.
The Streak is a great device, and as a tablet I think it is fine. However, as an every day phone it just wasn't worth the extra size when the OS was so old. I still cannot figure out what is taking AT&T so long to release the update for locked Streaks.
On the other hand, I have been nothing but very pleased with the Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate). I don't see how I could ever use anything other than the Swype keyboard again. I have shown the entry with Swype to friends and coworkers with iPhones, and they are impressed. I may write more here later about Android keyboards.
The OS is fluid, quick, and the display is beautiful. The OLED screen really is excellent. And for my purposes, and good camera is important, and the Captivate excels at this as well. The camera on the Streak was simply awful. The images were always blurred and looked nothing like it should have come from a 5.0 megapixel image. The video recording was almost unusable. The Captivate's is detailed and fluid.
So for now I am very happy with my Captivate. I just hope AT&T releases that update for others soon.
