Is there a neoprene sleeve out for the Droid X yet? I have a Nexus One that I use for work and it came with a sleeve that is easily slides in and out of. Looking for something similar for the DX for the times when I want to throw it into my laptop bag or backpack.
I came from an N1 as well and wanted the same thing, but couldn't find anything so I made one out of duct tape, lined with material from an old T-shirt.
It sounds funny, but it actually works REALLY well.
Here's some pics:
Wow, that actually looks well made! gj

I'm looking for the same thing. I have yet to find one but I'm going to order one of these for $10 till a real one comes out.
If I order it next week it will still get here before my phone does from Verizon.

1) This is true.
2) Thanks
I've been using this for a few weeks now and it's actually a really good case.
If you guys have a spare T-shirt (or sock) and some duct tape, I actually do recommend making one of these.
Maybe I'll make a how-to video.. haha
I've been using the sleeve from sfbags.com for about 2 weeks now. Its pretty decent, a thin sort of grippy material so the phone doesnt slip out on its own, but doesnt grip enough that it causes a problem trying to remove it from the sleeve. Main reason I bought it was so it wouldnt get scratched in my pockets from my keys or change and it does well with that. If you ever had a G1 its almost like the sleeve that came for that with less padding. Also I've dropped it on the asphalt already, so the material was thick enough to protect it from a dent, gouge or broken screen thankfully.
Just a word of warning. I just got a "Tune Belt Sport Armband for HTC EVO 4G" today. It fits the DX fairly well. I went for a one hour run and after when I was taking the DX out of the sleeve, the clear plastic of the sleeve stuck to my Zagg Invisible Shield and started pulling it off. End result is now I have a big crease in the Invisible Shield. I'm thinking of cutting the plastic out of the Tune Belt and see how that works. I also just got a waterproof Dry Case for the DX, I'm wondering if that's going to cause the same problem.

Sunglass Micro Fiber Pouch
Why not just use that Micro Fiber Pouch that they give you when you buy a pair of nice sunglasses. Not only can you throw it in there but you can tie it so it doesn't fall out. You can use it to clean the screen. They might even be able to give you one for free.

Hey guys, i got this in a few days ago so I can verify it fits the MOTOROLA DROID X not the Samsung that the description says.
You can even tell by the part # that it is made for the DROID X. Why Verizon has it screwed up I dont know, but it is the ONLY face-in snap-in holster I have found.

They have a better one that comes with a back shel also
It is called shell/holster combo for $30

I have the holster. It's a little flimsy and I'm probably going to replace it with the Seidio. As for the holster shell combo, it sucks. I had it for my incredible and it gets loose.

I like that better because it comes with the protective case, and its a clip on.
That's the one I had, it's made by Amzer. It doesn't protect the top of the device either. Mine fell out of the holster and dinged up the top of my phone.

I have this one and hope it loosens up over time. Right now, it takes two hands to get the phone out of the holster because it's so tight. It works great for me though, no worrying about the phone falling out of the holster.

I might have to get this one then, if its that tight.
I work at an auto parts store so im constantly moving around, brushing up against greasy things or crawling under people's cars so I need some protection for my phone. How is the quality of the case?
Also, does the case wrap around the front of the phone? I mean if I lay the phone face down will the screen touch or will the case protect it?
Yes, the case does wrap around the front enough to keep the glass off the counter when you lay it down. Both the shell and the hoster are rigid with a rubberized feel.
It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone like some cases I've looked at, so the phone is pocketable when you want to go without the holster.
I picked mine up in my Verizon store, so would recommend you stop at one and ask to see it on an X.

Yes i have this holster. Just picked it up yesterday. And it seems secure and I liked the look and the feel of it in my hand. Just didn't like that it left the top of the phone exposed. In the holster its protected though. Its when you take it out it seems like it could possibly get dinged at the top of the phone if it fell. Otherwise it seems pretty cool. Im looking to see if someone comes out with a holster that includes complete coverage of the phone and holster combo. I think they didn't cover the top because the antenna is located there. Not sure but just a theory.

The screen protectors we talk about in this thread (the SGP Crystal Clear ones) are the best by far, and they also have the anti-fingerprint ones too.

Just curious if any of your guys are using any particular hard or gel cases for the MT4G that you are happy with so far? I need to get one for my wife's phone and want to see what the community is using thus far...
Im using one and it fits nice and tight. It came packaged with a screen protector and a microfiber cloth with the mytouch logo on it. I really like gel covers, it kinda absorbs drops. I had one on my cliqxt at it kept it looking brand new with no battle scars
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I got the same one, problem I have with it is it picks up dust so easily. It goes from being a black gel case to grey. I did see one at T-Mobile I really liked, a thin grey gel skin with a hard white back that went over it.
i find hard cases to be more for logo's/styles... its hard to find a hard case thats actually tight and protective from all angels, most the time when its dropped it just pops right off... gel cases absorbs the shock but also doesn't pop off so prevents scratching... TPU cases are nomally not as "sticky" as gel cases where fibers from your pocket will stick to them... all in all its personal preference

This is the one I use and I LOVE IT! Soft on the inside, hard on the outside! Slides EASILY in and out of case/pocket and NO LINT/DIRT collection on it like with bare GEL covers.... Pricey at $30 but worth it!
That case does look sick on the phone (thanks for the pic's) but does it make the phone thick? I usually end up taking my case off just because I prefer thin phones... I would imagine this would be like using 2 cases hence doubling the thickness?
The gel case is very thin, doesn't add a whole lot of bulk to it. It winds up being about as thick as a standard case.

That's the one I have. Actually, that particular case is what decided for me whether to get the Black/Red model or the White one (which I chose).
Had they had this exact setup in Black/Red, I would have gone that way. But as it stands, I really like it. Plus, it has the "MyTouch" logo on the back, which adds to it's "Not-from-some-mall-kiosk" appearance.
T-mo stores...
my only gripe is how hard the case is to get on properly, which would be no problem exept you cant dock it with it on...
If they had the grey/black combo I'd have bitten the bullet and gotten it. Of course, vinyl dye would work pretty well, as long as you give it a few days to cure.

Yup got mine at a T-mo Store too and love it...I have the Case-Mate Tough Case on my Nexus and this is hands down way thinner and sexier!
Went to the tmo store yesterday and looked at the cases. Every single one of them covers the dock buttons, so if you're planning on docking it, you'll have to take it out of its case, dock it, put it back in etc...etc... What a pain. If they make a car dock, that's going to be even worse.
I can just see my typical day... wake up, take out of dock, slip into case, get to car, slip out of case, on to car dock, get to work, get out of car dock, slip into case, get to desk, slip out of case, put into desk dock, go to lunch, slip into case, etc... OMG!
The only one I saw that wouldn't be too bad is the plastic holster that just cradles the front and leaves the back open.
thats what i wound up with for the exact same reason!... that plus a phantom skin when they drop will probably be what covers mine
Wow i really like that case.... is it anywhere online? I just freakin spent 20 bucks online on a gray rubber/clear plastic bodyglove on ebay... It should come any day now I just hope it doesnt clash with my red phone lol but yeah.... Is that case available online or only at tmobile?

There seems to be 2 types of materials, 3 finishes.
On mine, the clearish part is a slightly-bendable hard plastic with the texture of what all of my matte hard plastic. Think the type of plastic that is one most power adapters (that aren't shiny) but add a slightly bendable aspect to it.
The black part on the back is shiny, slick, smooth, and more flexible. It's similar to silicon cases (what I can assume you mean by soft gel/rubber) but I think it's still different. It seems to be less "floppy" even though it is very bendable. The shiny black part seems to "stick" to certain surfaces (such as my desk and other hard/flat surfaces) but not to some that you would expect (it doesn't stick to my pockets at all and glides just fine across my clothing, car seat, and non-leather furniture - it might stick to leather, I don't know). The black part on the front appears to be the same material as the black part on the back, but with a matte finish. The result of the different finish is that it doesn't have the "stickiness" on much of any surface, yet still gives your hand a slight bit of grip beyond what the stock TBolt gives you.
Overall, the "feel in hand" is comfortable and it gives you extra grip but doesn't feel sticky or anything like that. Imagine going from a slick, hard-plastic phone to a phone with a rubberized body (like our TBolt has). Going from a naked TBolt to this case is kinda like taking that one step further. But in no way could I ever describe it as "feeling sticky" in my hand or pocket.

So it looks like/feels like it's not going to just fall apart or anything like that, if that's what you mean. I can't envision drops/dings or other daily use wearing it down.
The ONE concern that I have about it holding up is because it is made with two types of "plastic" (I don't know if it's plastic, silicon, rubber, or whatever, hence my quotes). I fear that if I take the case off and on a lot (for my car dock), that the joints of the two plastics might start to come apart. This is NOT based on any quality issues that I have seen so far, just a concern based on the fact that this wasn't produced in a single mold when it was melted down (this is coming from somebody with an engineering background).
I will be shocked, though, if I have a problem with this case in the next 6 months, and for $5, well, I'd say that's pretty damned good!

Read my post a couple posts up about the 2 different types of materials with 3 finishes. As best as I can tell, the inside is the same material as the outside. What this means is that 60% of it is the very flexible plastic while the clear part does cover ~40% of the back. I would expect the black part to offer more protection to a fall/bump than the clear part, and fortunately the black part covers most of the corners and edges. Still, I expect the clear part to offer more protection than a hard plastic case would.
Updated the OP with some photos. Perhaps they will help.
thanks for the detailed feedback!
This case will also fit into the Verizon holster/shell combo holster. You just can't use the VZW shell, but it'll slide into the holster. The fit is a little snug, but it works. I like to swap out this case with the VZW shell. This one provies more protection, but the VZW one is pretty cool too.
In case anybody was wondering, I got mine from this seller from China: http://goo.gl/62Fhx
It took something like 10 days to get to me, but I didn't mind since it cost less than a good burger.

Running naked. I don't like how cases bulk up the phone. Haven't run with a case for many years now across several devices without incident, and my devices have survived numerous drops.
I have the silicone one from the verizon store naked feels too slippery to me i'm afraid its going to slip out of my hand on the subway. Its doing pretty good. dropped it once on the stairs in the subway and its still fine. the only thing that bothers me is sometimes i have to take the case off to use the headphones jack. can anyone recommend another one? (i like silicone cause it lets me get a good grip on it. too afraid i'd drop it otherwise)
Anybody check out the TPU cases for this phone? I also admire the slimness of the DInc2 and was thinking about this as an alternative to both hard and silicone cases.
Cheap on Amazon too.

It is something close to aluminum or other soft metal, at least that's what I thought. I also scratched the edge of mine just taking off a mobi hard plastic case I bought. Didn't take much at all to make a scratch.
Now, the back is plastic but made to feel the same as the front but I'm pretty sure it's not.

I agree 100%.
if it's the hard gel case from verizon, I bought mine the day it came out, it was the only gel case they had, but they gave me a full refund as there was a Tech Bulliten out fromm what I read here on the forusms, no receipt or anything and it was a diff store and got my money back so I was happy, cmae home and ordered an ottterbox. sucks just from a case the potential for damage is there. hopefully in a few months we don't have a bunch of complaints about this. I returned my scratched device for a refurb. no charge. told them it happened with a case on it. they had no prblem with refurbing it.

wood? I wonder how well that would protect that. personally I would never put that on my phone. but it's cool. I am awaiting on the otter box commuter to arrive on Tuesday, and I can say from experience, that otter box is very well made cases, and come with a screen protector if you're into that.. I don't use them, but I will give pictures and a review once the case comes and I use it for a day or two. high quality case, can get it cheap on amazon, and great brand name, that isn't bulky. they also make a defender case, which isn't my style but looks like a truck could run over it and be fine lol.

Yeah, I used the Seidio for my Eris, and I am considering it for my DInc2. Never been real hot on the Otterbox look, though I haven't seen one in person. I like my cases low profile and simple looking. Maybe I'll meet an Otterbox one day and fall in love.
I don't even care if the wood case broke the first time I dropped it. If I could find a good one I would rock that thing like hobos rock trench coats and buy another if it broke.
I wood pay more for the case than I would the phone.

No offense, but I really don't know what you were thinking when you ordered that armband. The Note is clearly in a size category of its own and will never be compatible with accessories for a phone like the Evo 3D
I've bought this one.

Looks like it will take the size. I'll let you know when it's been delivered.
I now need to get a case, I dropped it today and it's put a little dent in the shiny bezel.

How about this one? Several people on this forum, including myself, have decided to go with this one. It helps that it comes in several colors and DOESN'T look hideous.

fairly sure thats the one aquapac said would fit, (although their website says 7.5" circumference and the Note is 8") I like their kit, works well.

although in the velomobile I tend to find using one of these around my neck works better

(not sure if the small version would work)
Just got my aquapac arm band. It fits perfectly. There's a little room at the top but it can be folded down. Great fit width ways very snug.
Arm band is nice and long so it will fit around jackets if needed. Very impressed.
I bought it from Kit protector on amazon uk.
cool, can it be like fold at the bottom and top part together? like hidden it .. so it looks like the armband just fit nicely for the phone? (i mean with no space at all)
Yes you can do that quite simply.
I took it out for a run yesterday and I need to adjust the arm band or get a different one. It's almost to elastic and kept on slipping down, if you have runners arms the arm band need shortening somehow.
But overall I'm still pretty happy with it.
looking at your pictures, the small whanguni case should fit then ...
as the armband is listed as 7.5x6.8
where as the whanguni is 8x6
My small whanguni (cheers aquapac That sounds really silly).. Arrived. Today, note fits perfectly length and width. downside (obviously ) its not ideal with the Samsung for flip cover..
Closed it slides in and out fine, but not a lot of use... With flip open can't use camera inside the aquapac, and the felt face of the note flip cover makes it tricky with to extract.
With stock back on (no flip) its superb, works and fits perfectly.
hmmm do you think it would Fit still if the note had a gel case on it?

Ok, just to clarify: the Small Whanganui case is basically a plastic bag, right? As in, we still have to purchase the armband from Aquapac separately?

if you want to look at it like that, all the aquapacs are plastic bags, much in the same way the galaxy note is a mirror to shave in..
it the whanguni doesn't have an armband, uses a lanyard, so its an alternative to the armband one.

Yes it fits in but it is a little snug. The gel case and the Aquapac do seem to stick a little so it doesn't just slide out, you have to coax it.

Where did you order it from?
Ignore this, I found your link

Is there a way to buy a normal armband for Note (i need it for running), not an aquapac armband ?
