Default Universal sleeve for the Captivate?

I'm looking for a universal sleeve (like with BlackBerrys) that fit the Captivate. The inner material has to be really soft, so as not to scratch the phone (obviously). Does anyone know of an easily obtainable and inexpensive product that meets this description?
LG Optimus LTE (CM9 Full Throttle 8.2)

Is this () what you may be looking for? I had bought this for the Samsung Blackjack II. It fits the Captivate nice and snug too. Samsung branded, good quality, its on Amazon for $6.46.

If the link does not show up in this post put a general search on Amazon for "Samsung i607 Blackjack Flat Lthr Pouch".

I got the neoprene case on ebay for the htc evo

hxxp://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Neoprene-Case-Pouch-HTC-EVO-4G-4-G-/280537161004?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4151515d2 c

it fits the captivate perfectly, but it does have the htc logo on the front that may bother you

pdair makes one specifically for the captivate

I've been looking for the same thing... EVERYWHERE.... so far this is the only one I can find, and I believe at this point I'm just going to give in and buy it

got my case from pdair... while not what I really wanting it will work...

some more info for those who care:
the inside isn't lined, it's just soft leather.
sides are not solid and by that I mean like this: http://goo.gl/m6Ry obviously different styles but the side is constructed the same, with the top and bottom portions open and a bit of elastic in the middle.
it fits perfect, and it's about as thick/bulky as you'd expect. which leads me to believe it would help a lot in a fall/drop.
seems sturdy and well made all in all a good product.

You could try something like this over at Fommy: http://bit.ly/dAoHBI

I had one like this on my Tilt2 before and worked out pretty well. I was thinking of getting one for my Captivate before I ended up going with a TPU case.

I believe they also have horizontal cases, and other pouches that fit our phones.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S III (i747) on AT&T
ROM: PMuttStyle v1 (Custom UCDLK3 4.1.1)
Kernel: Intergalactic 2.6 Kernel (LL1)
Modem: UCDLK3

Primary Tab: Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8013)
ROM: Android Revolution HD 7.0 w/ Darkman's Compat Mods (XXCMD1 - 4.1.2)
Kernel: Stock N8013 (XXCMD3)

Backup Tab: Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3113)
ROM: DMB4 Root/Deodex (P3110 - 4.1.2)

Let folks know if their posts provided useful information or assistance by clicking the "Thanks" button

they have a case like this at walmart and it didn't fit very well... I guess I'm just worried that a generic case wont fit the phone properly since every generic case Ive tried to fit it in so far has failed to come close to a decent fit.

at $15 I might give it a go though, thanks

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Has any one found one that fits nice and is made for the captivate. I've gone to fry's, bestbuy, radio shack, and walmart, even ones I've found in gas stations don't fit right. Bout to break down and make one.

I bought this when i got my captivate. You can fit the phone in it, but the sleeve is too short for captivate, which block the top part of the sleeve that is meant to close to keep the phone from coming out easily. The phone will slide out if you put the sleeve upside down, but its not a problem for me, so i am still using it.

I too wanted a BlackBerry style sleeve. This is what I use-

krusell-gaia-mobile-pouch

I can't post a link or I would, but I got mine at the AndroidCentral store.

The BB sleeve has those nice rubberized edges to help cushion a fall, and those sleeves are a "little" more stiff than this one, which is mostly just pseudo-leather with a soft inner lining. The edge may still help on a drop, but the most important part...

It goes in and out of your pants pocket nicely while in the sleeve.
