Leather Carrying Case + Silicon skin = Awesomeness

[Bellztoll]

Yep,
Awesomeness; I have always been a fan of being able to keep my phone on the outside of my pants, usually on a belt or something. It makes for easier access. But I am also picky about getting my battery cover scratched, etc.
So, when i went into the VZW store to try and solve my quandry; i came out with the perfect solution.
The stock leather carrying case is a tight fit, even for a naked phone. There isnt much wiggle room, and its interesting to get it out when you get a call. So, add in a silicon or hard case, and its a no-go. But after experimenting a little bit, i did find that you can put a hard/silicon case on your Fascinate, and by getting a Droid X Case, it fits like, excuse the pun, "a glove" Its a little tight the first few days, but after breaking it in, i love it.
Dont know if anyone else has been looking for that solution, but i doubt i am the only one.
Have fun

Thanks for the info.

Thanks.

The Sprint Galaxy S Epic case is just enough larger that it fits the Fascinate with the a cover also. Only comes in black though. Has a little silver on the front and looks nice.

I'm still looking for brown or green. Does the Droid X case come in different colors? Is it a really soft leather?

This is what I use also. Nice fit.

Sorry, been out of town. The only color that i saw for the Xcase was a nice brown color, with small silver highlights on the clip itself. not sure about the green. I wouldnt say its the softest in the world, but it is defnitley not bad at all, and it looks nice. No motorola logos or anything, just a small verizon one on the cover.

Would this case be large enough for one of the Verizon hard gloss silicone cases?

Yup - it fits. Found it on Ebay for $5.99.

I see horizontal holster type cases that say they're for the Galaxy S Epic & Fascinate. I also want one that'll accommodate a Fascinate in a skin. Is the Epic larger than the Fascinate? If so, how much larger?
OK, I found the answer -
Epic - 4.90 x 2.54 x 0.56 (124 x 65 x 14 mm)
Fascinate - 4.92 x 2.53 x 0.39 (125 x 64 x 10 mm)
