Has anyone came across any armbands for GN?
Will SGS2 ones fit our phones?
I tried a Belkin SII armband, didn't fit at all. Too short and struggled to take it out... Will keep looking.
I found this site - http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-CAB-nexus.htm
But sort of looks a little dodge
& there is also this one - http://docteur-gsm.com/en/samsung-galaxy-nexus/9461-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-armband.html
I'm also interested in this. Saw a few on ebay.com and Amazon, but I am always a bit wary to buy from these sellers, especially when they claim a GN fit but have an iPhone or the like in the stock image.
I am interested in this as well.
thanks

Found this....

at least it has an android phone shown in the image rather than iphone....
yeah i found the same link (see above)
Who will be first to order from that site?? I might wait for them to pop up on ebay first
Someone said tunebelts fit. Dude said it fit the same as his Droid X did.
If that helps at all.

That one?
I am looking too...
A problem I see with most Armbands is the position of the headphonejack which is on the bottom on the Galaxy Nexus.
Fitting wise when I checked dimensions of different phones the Desire HD armbands should fit.
Desire HD = 68mm height
Galaxy Nexus = 67.94
So I'm gonna try the Desire HD one from igadgitz.com
It also has the jack on the bottom...

Yep, that's the one he claimed fit his Gnex just like his previous Droid X. He said he thought it fit because the Gnex is thinner than the Droid X.
Can't find original post, sorry.

I just put an order in for this armband. It's on sale for $14 with free shipping. I will report my findings once it arrives.
yes plz do!!
I have been speaking with someone at Tune Belt about their products for the GN and I got this response today:
Hi Adam,
I just got back from the Verizon store and this phone fit into AB84 pretty nicely. The AB84 has to stretch a bit to fit the length of the Nexus. There's a bit of extra depth even with AB84 but it is not too bad. AB85 is way too big.
Best regards,
Richard

So I think I will be buying one here shortly and I will let you know my experience. For reference, here is the product link: http://www.tunebelt.com/ab84
nice, thanks for the info!
Might have to try the TuneBelt product...
I got the same reply from Tunebelt, AB84. Said it's at the limits in length, but the headphone jack lines up nicely.
I have a suggested mod for any of the tunebelt products. The attached pics are from their waistband, but will easily work with the others as well. I don't trust velcro, and because the GN is slightly larger than other phones...even more so. I've used this belt for my OG Droid as well as my HTC Thunderbolt, but ain't takin' chances on this gorgeous new phone.
For $2 at Walmart, you can grab a kit of (I think 8) snap buttons. Very easy to install. You can do it right through the velcro, or use a sharp blade and shave the velcro patches right off/out (less to push through). Line up your rivets,etc on each side of the material and just tap with a hammer on a hard surface. Easy peasy.
LOVE it and don't have to worry about velcro coming undone and my phone flying down the street

I have the tunebelt from my Droid X and it fits, but the problem with almost all of these armbands is that the plastic cover never sits flush on the screen. Thus, the issue is that changing tracks or checking the phone is just all the more difficult while running, etc. Belkin made a great armband for the iPhone 3 (sister's) that sits very flush to the screen. I wish they had a SGN version.
Anyway, keeps us posted on iarmbands product. Would love to hear specifically how the clear plastic skin sits against the SGN screen. Thx.
Recently went to best buy and was looking for arm band case and found this:
[I am not allowed to post the link until I have 8 posts according to forum rules, but if you go to bestbuy.c*m and search for "Rocketfish arm band android" It will locate the product for you]
Although a 'generic' case, it actually fits the Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) pretty well (nice and snug) and the headphone jack lines up with the cutout. I also found it relatively easy to navigate the screen while in the case.
Just though this might help anyone looking for arm band case.
Just wanted to share this dock i found on ebay. Looks way better than the samsung one as it has a simpler design. Looks like an iphone dock.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...ccessories&hash=item19cbf0b955#ht_10221wt_905
If you look at the picture closely you can see that's an international galaxy s2 in the dock our phones have different dimensions than that of the other versions of the galaxy so that dock may not fit your phone at all. A good trick for looking for the proper accessories for our phones, since there are so many versions of it, is including "t989" in any search on eBay or Amazon you do.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Well the dock is made to fit our phones, so of course it will fit the international version as well. I saw a couple of reviews on youtube and the s2 was able to mount with a case. Thats good enough space to fit the extra thickness of our phones. I ordered 2, I will give feedback once I receive them.

Please do. I'm intersted & would like one at the house
I have had this dock (actually 3 of them now) for a few months. Used it with my AT&T Samsung Infuse then with my AT&T GS2 and now with my T-Mo T989.
Fits and works perfectly with the T989 even with the Diztronics case on it. Well worth the price.

Correct, and it will work with just about any brand "bar type" phone with the jack centered on the bottom. You either use or don't use the rubber insert that comes with it to adjust to size or with or without case. For $12 it's a great buy. If you want it faster there are some US sellers selling it for around $20.
This looks great !! Quick question though. Do you have an hdmi adapter for yours ? I'm looking to basically be able to charge/hdmi out by dropping it in a cradle lol
1 more question. Does the phone feel sturdy enough in it? I'd like to get 1 to modify into a car mount too
Thanks !

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good case with blue tooth keyboard.
go to vzw . Com
They are selling the official moto leather folio with built in BT keyboard for $29

I've seen that one, but I'm holding out for better.
Does anyone know if there's a keyboard / battery pack combo? Y'know - something that you can plug in to microusb port. Runs off keyboard battery first (rechargeable), then uses system batt?

Have you heard anything bad about it? All of the reviews I've seen are pretty favorable. I'm eyeing it hard but I just bought the other Moto keyboard a few weeks ago. I would prefer something integrated into a case.
I have looked several times and not been able to find it. I would like to see the link.

I've been looking for something similar to this for my Xoom FE. Do y'all think the slimmer form factor would work in this case? It's a pretty good deal.
I'm guessing it wouldn't work good. The specs on Motorola's site are below. If the length and width were the same, then I would say yes, but since they are not, I don't think it would fit good.
Xoom: (H x W x D)
249.1 x 167.8 x 12.9 mm
Xoom FE:
260 x 177 x 11.4 mm

The Xoom Keyboard Folio case is very snug...really just fits the original Xoom with no room to spare and anything smaller would fall out. It really is just for the original Xoom. It is great and an amazing bargain at $30.
Looks like I'll be going a different route. I'm thinking of just buying a slip cover and the Logitech keyboard with the little case/stand. Looks pretty neat and that seems to be the most effective way of getting what I want for my tablet that no one else seems to own.
I would love to have one, but they are not available (or much more expensive) in Germany
Just got the Verizon case in the mail today and that thing is damn near perfect. Haven't found a flaw yet. My USB adapters come out and go horizontal and the case provides plenty of space for it. Paired with the bluetooth mouse this is much more convenient then dragging around my big laptop
I also received the folio case today. Good quality for the price. Not sure about the keyboard though. Don't like the small shift key on the right side and the home key being just left of the enter key makes you exit to home screen every time you mistakenly hit it. I like the Motorola Bluetooth keyboard a bit better. Anyway, I'll give it a bit more time and maybe I can get use to the layout. The other thing, the case is pretty thick. I expected thickness with keyboard, but I think it could have been designed slightly thinner. The leather is layered and quite thick. The stand works well, but only 1 angle to choose from, which is a pretty steep angle.

I really think the thickness isn't too bad. Only thing I've noticed is the camera is kind of blocked unless you pull the stand down. Not a huge deal as I don't use it very often, but still is there. I do like the space between the bottom of the Xoom and the fold. Plenty of room for USB stuff

Folio case with KB
I have the Folio case with the Keyboard and love it. A lot of times I take my Xoom into meetings (where I used to take my laptop instead), and it does the job perfectly for a short while. I wouldn't want to write long letters on the small keyboard, but for meetings, etc...it's perfect.
anyone knows if there is something similar but with swedish keyboard?
I am wondering..is there anywhere I can buy a case which supports to put in a keyboard? Just like this for Ipad http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20017554-1.html
I only want the case and then i'll put in a keyboard. Why am I asking for this? Because I want to buy an keyboard that supports swedish charachters, and obviously the american motorola xoom keyboard case do not have swedish charachters. I am thinking of buying Targus Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard.
I know I'm reviving a very old-dead thread here.
But anyone find a good case with keyboard, that has a working track pad?
I've looked online and I found two sellers with case/keyboard/trackpad BUT the track pad will not work on Xoom.
Thanks in advance if anyone ever reads this and/or respond.

That's just the regular BT keyboard with the extendable track pad.
I'm looking for the folio combo that's a case/keyboard/track pad all in one. Kind of like the Asus transformer has the dock. Except we can't dock so its just a folio case.
If nothing else, I will consider that one and fit it into a case.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Curious if anyone has one or knows of a manufacturer that is selling them. I would like to start running and biking with a bit more comfort as I find the screen to large to keep in my pocket when doing these activities.
Thanks!
You might look into the Tune Belt AB85. There's a video on YouTube where the guys shows how it holds a Galaxy Note so surely the S3 would fit. The AB86 is designed for the Galaxy Nexus so you might look into that too. I own a Tune Belt that works with my Galaxy S2 and I found it to be a good product.

Funny you mentioned Tunebelt, I just received a message from one of their customer reps that the Galaxy Nexus model should fit the S3 perfectly.
Can be purchased directly or through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Belt-Arm...2572943&sr=8-1&keywords=Tunebelt+galaxy+nexus
Similarly I managed to make my Droid X Tunebelt accommodate the S3 (after some minor alterations )

Has anyone tried the AB86 model? I have a smaller TuneBelt that I used with my HTC Desire, and there is no way that you can get headphones in with the S3 going in to the holder top-first (as I'd want to use it), as the neoprene covers exactly where the headphones are. There are only gaps in the corners and middle. It would work going in bottom-first, as then the headphone access would be at the open end.
Does the AB86 model improve this to allow headphone access from either end with the S3?
I've been happy with the build quality of the TuneBelt. Another cheaper but similar looking alternative that I've seen is from iGadgitz http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...for-samsung-galaxy-s3-iii-i.html#.UEi0oo1lQs4
That's specifically for the S3, so should definitely have the correct headphone access, as well as labelling where buttons are. Has anybody got any feedback on this?
I wasn't too happy with how the TuneBelt fit, so I returned it and picked up a Belkin EaseFit Plus. It's a much better fit for both my arm and the phone. My only complaint is that, despite it's claims, it is most decidedly not sweat-proof. Maybe it is from the front, but not so at all from the back. The TuneBelt seemed to do a somewhat better job at keeping the phone dry from sweat, probably because the fabric is heavier/thicker.
I've been searching high and low for a non-generic car mount/dock and I think I might have found something that will work. I just ordered the Motorola Atrix HD dock from amazon.
(link blocked)
Dimensions seem right..
Atrix; 5.26 x 2.75 x .33
Sprint Optimus G 5.19 x 2.71 x .33
I'll report back in two days when it gets here.
Hopes this helps....has anyone else found anything else that will work?
I have the 2011 model of the Sprint Universal Mount. With the Otterbox, this thing BARELY fits. But it still works very nicely
2012 model link is here
Yeah....saw that, and looked at a number of the "universal" mounts, but really wanted something that I could truly "dock" my phone into. I'm in and out of my car a lot during the day and don't want to hassle with plugging in the power cord each and every time. Thanks for the input.
NEGATIVE on the MOTOROLA ATRIX HD case....usb doesn't line up. darn.
Tetrax
Is anybody using any of the Tetrax mounts with the LGOG? (The system is preventing me from posting the hyperlink to the Tetrax site here, but it is tetrax.com.) I love their simplicity but am not sure I want to paste a disk to the back of my phone. If you have done this, can you comment on how you like it? Thanks.
Here is a good looking car mount for the LGOG.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-OPTIMUS-...305639?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c2e0729a7
If you don't need to have the phone charger automatically plugged in, I highly recommend this mount. You've never known convenience until you've put the phone in and take it off with only one hand :fingers-crossed:. Not to mention the it will stick to your car's dash (hard plastic parts preferred, as it will leave an indentation on soft plastic)

ryocho, have you used this with the Sprint LGOG? I'm thinking about getting it, but want to make sure it fits and doesn't hit any of the volume/power buttons. They also have this one that is for the Galaxy Note. I wonder if it would fit better there?

Yes I am using it right now, with this case, it fits fine with just a little bit of wiggle room to spare. For sure the Galaxy Note one will fit if you plan on getting a thick case like otterbox, but it might be too wide if you decided to go without a case?

That's what I had previously with my old phone. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the OG with case on. Plus the arm is too long which cause a lot of vibration when driving.
Clingo
I have the clingo and it works great with the otter commuter case
Had the Clingo too, bought it when it first came out. It worked well at the beginning, but after a few months in the summer heat (Southern California) the gel starts to degrade and start to leave a sticky residue on the back of my phone case. Got a replacement gel pad from Clingo, same thing happen by the next summer.
Yes, I've tried a lot of car mount options. Still looking for the perfect one (that doesn't cost something ridiculous like $80)
Here is the best I've found...
Brackretron
Takes some mounting and such, but definitely the best finished product...
ProClip Universal
I'm thinking of ordering one from ProClipUSA. [sorry, I'm too nube to be allowed to post a link...] In the past I've used their mounts for my old Garmin Nuvi and later for my HTC EVO 4G (the WiMax model).
Unlike those mounts, which were excellent and solid as hell, the two available are not full custom for the Optimus. And I really loved that my EVO's mount also provided power when it was docked. I rarely bothered explicitly wall charging the EVO as it always got topped off during the office commutes.
Still... with a few tweaks for the Optimus' dimensions it might be enough for a secure mount. For long trips it looks like I should be able to power it with the car 12V charger from the bottom opening.
This is what I have and it is the best mount I have ever used. Iotte easy flex 2
