Default Vibrant accessories availability

I went to my local radio shack and best buy today to try and get a vibrant case. Radio shack had one lame rubber case and best buy had no vibrant accessories but had plenty of epic/captivate/fascinate stuff. Maybe tmo doesn't have a contract or something with best buy. When the biggest electronics retail chain doesn't carry accessories what does that say about about the long term prospects of the vibrant?

It frustrates me so much that t mobile never has accessories for their phones when they are just released or recently released. Verizon always has nice cases for every phone the day it comes out or within a couple weeks. I was hoping to find the best buy brand hard case for the vibrant but it doesn't exist.

Buy! Buy! Consume! What is the big deal. Just get a case online and be done with it.

That's not the point. They could easily order a case online, but the problem is that t-mobile doesn't push accessories like everyone wants, whether it be cases, docks, or whatever you can think of. Other mobile providers always have very nice showcase accessories which is a great benefit. For example, Verizon released a very sleek and nice kickstand case with the fascinate and I would really love to use it, however specs say they won't fit. It's just the principle behind it and you'd honestly expect a company to try and push accessories more anyways since thats a big money maker. Just my two cents.
