The best case I've ever owned is the one I had for my I-700 from Covertec. They never made one for the I730 but I would hope they make one for my I760 IF FED EX EVER GETS HERE!!!!!
It was form fitting and the front covered the screen then flipped out of the way. the belt clip was removeable so you could use it without the clip if you just wanted a good case.
there was also a space for business cards and memory cards.
I just need something to protect the phone while it's in my purse, keep it from getting jabbed, a little cushion as my purse gets set down, etc. I don't carry my phone on a belt, and I don't mind removing from a sleeve of some type to use it when I need to touch it. (I hope my bluetooth headset cuts down on the need to touch it...)
I was browsing Walmart, looking at camera cases, ipod cases, etc. and there are ipod socks that some manufacturer makes that would have been perfect, but the ipod sock wouldn't fit the phone.
So I wandered to the kids area, and found a nice set of toddler mittens that fits the phone perfectly for $1.89! The mitten cuff holds the phone in, the mitten stretch knit fabric seems perfect for what I wanted, and it's brightly colored so I can see it easily in my purse. (I carry a small purse, but anything to make it easier to find.) I have a spare, or another case for extra batteries, cards, etc. lol
I knew the Verizon Holster was craptastic from what others had said. I still ordered it to modify for my Pro Clip mount. The holster was actually broken IN THE BOX before I took it out. I kinda like the holster though so I removed the whole clip from my i730 holster and will epoxy it on in place of the whole clip from the i760 holster. I'm not motivated enough to do it neatly enough to keep the swivel functionality. Besdies...I just found out that my i730 HAD a swivel clip. I would have preferred the phone to face in but I'm sure someone will make one like that down the line.
So, I'll have the modified Verizon holster for when I know I'm not going to walk into any walls, the Op/Tech neoprene case for better protection and I'll likely order another holster to modify for my Pro Clip mount. The thing I really like about the Op/Tech neoprene case is it's a great fit AND you can slip the spare battery in there and not even notice.
For anyone interested in the Naztech products, you can get them much cheaper by going to amazon.com, just make sure the picture matches what you want. The Bravo H5 is sneaky and it looks like they have a picture of the BB7500 on a few of the places, which is quite different. I think I am going to try to order the H5 Bravo (black) shortly here and will post the results ($25 opposed to over $40 from Naztech's site)
I just ordered it from amazon too thanks twnboarder.. got it for $16.95 w/shipping was like $22.00
Did you guys see this one? It has a built loop and a clip that comes off, plus the sides are open so you can hear the phone ring... Amazon.com: Horizontal Leather Case with Belt Clip/Loop for the Samsung SGH-i760: Electronics
Looks cool, but hey if BrassMonkey says the Bravo is the case to get so I had to go w/him but I got the black (got to match the shoes & belt at work and I wear more black than brown LOL)
I purchased a very nicely made Naztech case, but the magnet is either turning the screen on or rotating it, or it is actually turning the phone radio off.
Yes, I did try facing it away from the magnet, but taking it out of the case or putting it back in the case still turns it on (magnet in flap closure comes in contact with the phone).
John - that says SGH, not SCH - are they the same size?

I am waiting for a "Good" plastic clip like we had the I730. In the meantime I was in Target and found a case made by Moda Casi "Cell Phone Case with Rotating Belt Clip 080 08 0742". it is available in Black and Brown
It has magnets but hasn't affected my phone yet.
I purchased the "Diplomat" (no magnet) from Pocket Solutions and the i760 fits snuggly in the case with the standard battery. It feels secure. So far, I'm very happy with it.
I'm glad I purchased the Power Package too. Good to have the extra cables and for $45, you get a good value.
PSI-34957 Pocket Solutions Black Diplomat $39.95
PSI-32429 Samsung i760 Power Package 3 $44.95
BTW, Red Sox in 4 (and I'm a Pittsburgh Pirates fan).
Hopefully Seidio is working on a holster for the i760. I've purchased their products for just about every other phone that I've had (and they support) with no complaints at all.
I did try fitting the i760 in the holster for my AT&T Tilt. While the width and depth were a perfect fit, the height on the i760 is just a tad longer than the Tilt. So close...

I just ordered one off ebay from Clear Protector Invisible Armor Home Page They don't seem to have it on their site yet but I am talking with them and working on getting it added. They also want to offer a discount to forum members on the clear protector.
I'll post back when I have details and when I have mine in hand.

I have emailed them and they said they would pass it on to R&D I was hoping for a, "hey we have it right now, just finishing up you can order it tomorrow." response. Hopefully we get soemthing soon.

Great thanks please let me know, I want something that will keep my hand of greasing up the phone! This also means i need to get a screen protector, which is another 26 dollars down the drain lol I hate college.
