[Q] Are Captivate, Vibrant and i9000 Cases Interchangeable?

---

Howdy y'all,

I have a Captivate and have had a hard time finding a flip style case for it.
I have however found one for the i9000. After doing some research, I found that all 3 phones have the same dimensions... so do you think this case will work for my Captivate?

if its a flip style pouch-like thing then maybe. something like a Body Glove...nuh uh

Forgive my ignorance, but if the phone are the same dimensions, why would the captivate not fit into a Body Glove case?
The flip case that I linked snaps onto the phone... still think it may fit?

While the general dimensions are the same, the actual shape is not the same between the Captivate and the Vibrant/international Galaxy S. If it's a case that fits around the shape of the original Galaxy S, it most likely won't fit the Captivate.

There's a flip type case I found for the captivate from WirelessGround. Looks similar to the one from PDair. In fact, I believe they are the same. Both websites also have videos posted on youtube showcasing their respective cases.

I would post the links for you, but I can't. Don't know if that's what you're looking for, but I hope that helps.

cases are compatible among them all as they have the same cut holes for the buttons and mic areas

except for the 4G Epic which has a keyboard slide out

this is yet another reason why we need this

Thanks xer09aradox. It is what I'm looking for, although they're not as attractive as I was hoping.

It's hard to tell from photos, but does the i9000 have more rounded corners than the Captivate?

If it does, then I can't imagine my Captivate being about to fit into the original case I linked in my first post.

the Vibrant has more an iPhone 3GS look to it while the Captivate has much more defined corners
