I see a description for this on samsung's wireless accessories page for the a880, but the link to the pic is broken. Plus it's always out of stock. Any have it or are there any pics of it anywhere? My girl really wants a holster.

I think someone mention they had picked up a Sprint holster for it. It's dark smokey gray. I don't really trust Sprint holster though unless you're planning on getting an extended battery because it's lose without it. your phone might pop out easily. Maybe you should wait until Radio Shack gets some because those tend to fit perfectly and their $15 cheaper! :p

Actually I don't know because I did check out the one on the Samsung site and the picture looks to be broken but I would assume that it's the same as the Sprint one. You can write Samsung and ask them?

I just picked up a body glove case/holster today, and it works great. (not the one you guys are reffering to though)

This is similar to Nonames but it has velcro instead of a metal snap. I got it at Best Buy awhile ago. There is a little bit of extra room because how small the 880 is but it fits great. Would be nice if you could see the outter display but I have acc ringers for the people that call the most. I put my 535 in the pouch but it was just little to big. The velcro didn't line up perfect. Comp USA sometimes has accessories that are on clearance. Sprint has all types of girly pouches. :lol:

I now no longer have the 880 now R.I.P. :rolleyes: And believe it or not I found that holster/pouch at Walmart.

I believe you. I saw some cell phone accessories at Wal-Mart. Haven't seen any cases though.

I have the Samsung/Sprint case for the 880 that has the belt clip.
My previous phone with a Samusng 500, which I too had the Samsung/Sprint case. That case fit well and did not hamper any of the functions.
The case for the 880 is not a snug fit as the keypad portion of the phone easily moves in and out of the case. Also, the way the phone keypad is designed along with the case over top of the buttons makes it really easy to press one button and get the one above it as well. Unless you take the keypad portion out of the case, you end up using a fingernail to press the keys instead of the tip of a finger.
It would be great if something could be done with the fit of the keypad portion and the plastic covering not making it so two buttons press instead of one.
Does anyone with the official Samsung/Sprint case have any ideas?

I went to the Sprint Store asked about a case for my 880. I saw the clear case I was looking for then the guy asked me if I wanted a holster. I told him I thought Sprint didn't have em' yet but he brought one out to me from the back. I was wondering how the top holds onto your phone because if you've seen an 880 the top is not like other phones. Anyway you know that hole on top of the 880 that you can use for a strap? Well the holster has a latch that clicks into that. In my opinion, I think that can easily pop out. Doesn't feel completely locked in. So I ended up buying the black clear case. Fits pretty well and I got the case because I mostly want to protect this phone. Here are some pics:

I went to the Sprint store yesterday, and I finally found a holster for the 880. I didn't even take a look at the body glove, but the holster was approximately 20.00. I am very happy. Thanks for the advice, otherwise I would have assumed that they did not have a holster for the 880.

I've had my holster (from sprint) for a little over a month and a half now and noticed scratches/nicks on the top and sides along with the color fading esp. on the top. I was afraid that would happen and just wanted to give a heads up to anyone thinking about purchasing one.
