Good vertical swivel holsters for the MT

I have switched from my Optimus V to a Motorola Triumph, and have been missing the belt case I was using with my OV for the last few months.

The case in question is actually a BlackBerry case, designed for the Bold 9650, but it's a really nice leather vertical holster with a swivel clip and magnetic closure. I picked it up at my school's move-in sale for about $1.

My problem is, I can't seem to find anything comparable for the Triumph. I can find swivel holsters, leather holsters, and vertical holsters, but nothing I've found appears to have a clip that's anything like the one I have.

Here's a pic of the case I used for my OV (RIM HDW23466001):

Note that the clip has a hooked end. I really want that feature. The holster literally never pulled off of my belt, not once, thanks to the hooked clip. All the cases I've found for the Triumph in stores and online, though, have stupid clips that look like they'd pull off the instant I caught my holster on a door handle. (Considering that I work in theatres, my old holster caught on a lot of various bits of equipment.)

Does anyone know of a good holster, sized (but not necessarily made) for the Motorola Triumph, with a nice hooked clip design? I'm also curious if there's any place on the Web where I can go to search for holsters/cases by internal dimensions & clip type, but that's probably a long shot.
 
Go to newyorkcellphone.com look up the "rugged" brand, they have a variety of cases that flip. I would recommend getting the slide on belt clip, as that way your phone will not slip off your belt if you catch it on something, as I have done before, then you have to backtrack to find it.

Rugged has a "smartphone" case.
 
If I can't find anything else within a reasonable amount of time, I may have to go with one of those. However, I'm not entirely happy with the amount of wiggle room my Triumph would have in one of those cases. (The cases that are big enough measure 5.1" x 3.0", and the MT is only 4.8" x 2.6")

Thanks for the suggestion, though. There has to be some case somewhere made for one of the other variants of this device.
