Default [Q] Captivate Glide Case?

In the absence of a Captivate Glide Accessories/Q&A subforum, I'm posting here. Just wondering if anyone has been able to locate a case for the Captivate Glide. I understand that there would be extra complexities because of the keyboard, but surely something should be out by now...?

I've only seen one. Its a two piece. Plastic. But the only color I've seen it in is a god awful blue. I had it. When I took it off to add e screen protector I realised that the bezel around my screen was scratched. The scratches were caused by the idiot case itself. Who ever makes the case engraved a serial number on the inside of the top piece. Poorly designed IMHO

I too have the captivate glide. I am finding out that I don't use the slide out keyboard very much. I have gotten so used to the swipe keyboard, I could do with out it. I'd like to see an otter box that fits this device, or at least something that would protect the device well from impacts and the brittle glass screen. we just purchased two of them for my wife and I and well... my wife's screen just got cracked. $200 deductible on insurance or $130 in parts off ebay and to have someone to install the parts!

P.S. anyone know of a good smart phone accident insurance that still only charges $50 for a deductible! were still within the first 30 days of service!

I just got a captivate glide from Best Buy and got their Geek Squad insurance instead. It's 9.99/mo and doesn't actually cover loss... but the nice thing is NO DEDUCTIBLE. I am still looking for a good case, though, so if anyone has one, let me know!

Lots of options on Ebay for pretty cheap. Sometimes you just have to experiment a little bit. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Cases-Covers...=p3286.c0.m283

How did you crack it? Wow, I dropped mines a bunch of times and it even got sat on multiple times but the screen is scratch less. I only use the hardware keyboard for blocks of text and swype for quick things. I love the 4" screen because it's the perfect size for my hand and pockets. I don't see the point of paying for insurance since most things are covered under the 1 year warranty, correct me if I'm wrong.

It fell from the the car to the concrete drive way. Maybe the warranty will cover it, I will check into that.
