Is the Galaxy s 4g and the I9000 the same phone? Need case

---

Okay I am getting mixed information. I am wanting to order an otterbox commuter case for my new Tmobile Samsung Galaxy s 4g phone. Tmobile rep said to order the I9000 model otterbox as its the same phone.

But a coworker told me be careful it is a different phone and the case might not be perfect fit?

the i9000, t959 and t959v all have the same external dimensions... I am using a i9000/t-959 case on my 4g as we speak.

they actually have one branded to the GS4G T959V

Hi all, I just bought this phone couple day ago, I am looking for a durable case with holster, what brand should I'm looking for? Otterbox case dose not come with a holster.
Thanks

Just got off the phone with Otterbox. The poster that made direct link above is correct part for our phone. The case will fit if you order the i9000 model one, however the protective cover will block the FFC. This from otterbox.

I personally went with case mate, and it's listed as it should work.

I went in to a T-mo store and tried a case that was originally branded as compatible for the Vibrant but had a sticker placed over it that said "Compatible with Vibrant and SGS4g". I tired my SGS4g and it did not fit. The guys behind the counter even tried to no avail. They went in the back and brought back a Vibrant and it fit perfectly. I don't know exactly what kept it from working...but it did. Just be careful because obviously they are not exact.

Just a data point:

I can swap out the back covers of my vibrant and SGS 4g.

They are interchangeable.

Thats wierd, the silicone case they sell at tmobile fits my phone perfectly. although I do recommend skipping it because its really overpriced and fugly.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

FWIW, I bought a case for my GS4G that was made for the I9000...it's hard plastic that snaps on extremely snug, and it fit perfectly...
