Leather Cases - Flip Style?

---

Everyone seems to prefer minimalist cases like the body glove for the Captivate.

Anyone found a decent flip-style leather case?

Companies like Sena, Vaja and Piel Frama used to make beautiful cases for phones like the Tilt 2 and iPhone but so far they haven't shown any interest in the Captivate.

Found only a few possibilities so far:

Problem is only one of these says its for the Captivate, rest are for Galaxy S - anyone know how physically different the Galaxy S is from the Captivate? I'm tempted to buy one of the Galaxy S cases but not sure it will fit. Is the ATT version exactly the same?

I'm not sure if it's all exactly the same but size wise i would assume that it would be all similar since all samsung galaxy s line uses 4inch super amoled. not sure if the side controls are located in same space.

Fortte seems to have just released a bunch of styles for the Captivate:

I swear they only had one style for the Captivate when I was looking at their site yesterday

Rongvald, thanks for pointing out that the fortte site was updated with new models. The book style looks interesting. Already ordered the PDair flip top, but think I might order this one as well, it looks better made and it would give me one top opening and one side opening design.

I'll let you know how they work when I get them.

the best looking leather cases i found here, but still waiting for them to support captivate.

Most cases Droid X & Milestone will work for the Capy. I just so happen to find a cheap leather iphone case at Big Lots for $7 and it has a plastic durable belt clip and magnetic flap enclosure. I use it until I get my Naztech Gladiator II. Then as long as the Naztech fits okay it will be my work holster, and I will use the cheap ipone holster as my dress up or going out holster.

If you look at iphone holster try before you buy as most iphone holster are actually to small. I just got lucky I guess.

Just found this one in Pdair's online store. I have bought several cases from them. The quality is very good. Highly recommend.

Problem with the PDair case is it fits too damn tight. It requires a lot of force to get the phone in and out. If there is any dirt or grit I get the feeling I am essentially sanding the surface of the phone each time I take it out or put it in.

This isn't a problem if you intend to put the phone in and leave it there. But I can't do that, because I need to take it out to put it in my car dock and to put it in my desktop stand.

I had a Piel-Frama flip case for my tilt 2 which I would put on and off for the car dock and it fit just right, no friction. The PDair case for the Captivate fits like its one size too small in my opinion. Of course it may loosen up with time as it is made of leather.

I have chosen to go the silicone case (galaxy S official samsung - body glove style) and put the phone with the silicone case into a verizon droid X leather pouch case. The fit with the silicone glove is so perfect it looks like it was designed for the captivate. Now when I take the phone out of the leather case and pop it into the car dock, it is still protected.

I am still exploring the flip case option, might go with one of the fortte cases, they look very nice, but I am hoping that one of the premium leather companies will eventualy produce a case that fits perfect and protects well.
