Default Recomendations for Cases, Screen Protector , and Arm Band

I recently got my Captivate and wanted to make an all in one recommendation thread based upon what my phone is currently using..

OtterBox Commuter-
This fits Amazingly well on the phone and protects it fully the one problem I'm having at the moment with it is the Volume buttons feel is a bit off as the up offers less resistance then the down . Other then that this is a great case that offers full protection ( even covers the head phone jack for a great price and adds very little space to the phone. The rubber is however a dust magnet but a simple brush Takes care of that.

AT&T Screen Protector- Available at the AT&T store
This screen protector feels like the glass. Unlike other brands this offers no resitance is easy to clean and covers all the essentials. The top is cut so as not to hinder the speaker and sensors on the front of the phone. There were air pockets on this one. Plus for 5$ you get three!

iArmbands
This arm band is amazing plus if your like me and want to get it on the cheap Amazon has this available. It fits the phone with the Otterbox on it. The front is a bit unresponsive but while working out this doesn't turn out to be much of a problem. For those who do need to use the screen so long as you can use your thumb it does respond. The head phone jack is in an awkward place but works.

I hope this makes it easier when your searching for accessories for your phone as I know I had a rough time finding results in my searches for my accessories.

I bought myself a couple of them from Amazon. So far this is the one I loved the most "Samsung Captivate I897 (AT&T) Rubberized Snap On Protector Hard Case, Black".
Code:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Captivate-Rubberized-Protector-Black/dp/B003ZJJ31A/ref=pd_sim_cps_6
This fits well, and available for less than $3 including shipping, and well worth a try.

Price in amazon as of 16 Dec 2010: $0.01 + $2.98 shipping

Note: Image attached is a stock image.


I have put on the screen protectors on this link below. This one fit well and hardly has leaves very less finger marks, and has no glare that I could notice.
Code:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZNNCJU/ref=oss_product
Price in amazon as of 16 Dec 2010: $1.50 + $2.58 shipping for 5 screen protectors.

I ordered like 3 different varieties. One of it was like just for the screen and not for soft keys. Other was covering well, but very very smudgy and was giving too much glare just from the screen light itself.

So far ive had the bodyglove, the amzer tpu and now the otterbox commuter. All of these cases are great. The otterbox has the best protection, the only issue i have with it is the top/bottom attracting lint and fitting a tad loose... but not a huge deal to me. The Amzer tpu is a good in between, good proctection, a lot less bulky than the otterbox, and the cheapest. I bought the bodyglove because it was the only case available way back when i bought the phone LOL. My 2 cents
AT&T Galaxy Note w/ ICS.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, I already wiped.
