The Glacier case by Swiss Leatherware was recommended by many other sites for the Samsung Captivate and other similar size phones but is of middling quality it seems. The pictures make it look a bit more elegant and fancy than it really feels once you get it. It feel like poor quality vinyl and leather and seems to be made with hard cardboard chunks inside. The strap that flips over the top is not soft enough to allow various height phones to be used so unless your phone happens to fit perfectly (my old Blackberry Curve 8310 was almost a perfect fit, my new Samsung Captivate did NOT fit), the strap will not stay closed as the magnet is not quite strong enough to hold it in place.
As I indicated, I bought this holster for my new Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S model for AT&T) but it is just about 3 or 4 millimeters too tall to fit this holster properly. This makes it so the strap will not stay closed over the phone and just kind of flaps around.
Additionally, the case is just barely wide enough to fit either the Captivate or the Curve, either one is a task to get the phone in or out of the holster as it is so tight. I'm sure this would eventually result in dropping the phone at some point on the way in or out of the holster.
It's disappointing because it is a nice *looking* holster for sure, just that the build quality is not quite what it looks like in the pictures and the size is not quite right for the phones I wanted it for.

I too bought this for my Samsung Captivate as the description stated this case would fit. WRONG - way too small even if you dont have a protective case on your phone. Case is so tight you would miss a call trying to retrieve your phone to answer. The flap to hold phone in wont stay shut either since the phone is a lot longer than case. Very Disappointed...
Bought this to fit my new HTC incredible, it lookes much nicer in the pic and isn't a perfect fit, a bit tight and a bit to short to close completely however it does stay closed ok. Am happy with it for the price tho.
I got this Glacier case because the item description said my Droid Incredible would fit. Well, not so much. The Incredible is just about 10mm too tall for the case. The magnet strap won't fit over the top and stay shut. So I give it 1 star for that. Otherwise, its a serviceable case made of vinyl and maybe some leather. - Samsung Captivate - Case - Droid X Case'
