Cases

I know it's early days so far, but has anyone had any luck finding a really, really good case for this device?
I am now getting quite jealous of the iPhone accessories. Everywhere you look, pda case companies are offering wonderful, bright innovative cases for iPhone, not so The Touch.
In fact, most of the cases I have seen (Noreve, Piel Frama) seem to have a strip of leather covering the logo just above the d-pad, which would impede the Touchflo swipe.
The only one which doesn't seems to be the Proporta, which uses a 'C-Clip' mechanism. However, that looks like the actual clips themselves might damage/scratch the casing. And you can have any colour you like as long as it's black.
Emailed Vaja, and they have no plans for a Touch case. Sena say theirs is in development.
A lot of the cases already on the market seem to ignore the fact that this phone is popular because it is slim, light and small. Nobody wants to add a case that makes it larger and heavier.
Basically I would be happy with a case like the one supplied, but in leather, and preferably a bright colour (helps to find it in a large handbag!).

This is one I'm considering getting

How much bulk would that add to the touch? I have just put my athena on "hold" but it looks like this would be bulking up again?

If you want a black less bulky case then this one looks OK

Does anyone know if any of these cases will also take a credit card or two or do they only have sd-card slots?
Cheers!

Anyone got one of these yet ?

any comments, good or bad ?

I got this one. You can find it on other sites.
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/43139/42781/3338/noreve-tradition-leather-case-htc-touch.html
It is the Noreve tradition leather case Credit card slot included, and no fidgety clips to deal with. Just magnetic catch. Has detachable swivel belt clip.

Krusell Cases
Have a look a this one....http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2730&category=51
I have been personally using Krusell cases for over 4 years now and am a great admirer of their quality.I blv they are the only manufacturers to offer a lifetime warranty on their cases.....check it out....

Both the Noreve and the Krusell, and the Piel Frama all seem to have a leather strip covering the HTC logo where Touchflo begins, would that get in the way, and also, the leather 'frame' of the screen, does that impede the fingers only needed aspect of particularly the top two corners?

Noreve really gets in the way of touchflow. I mainly use the case when am out shopping or other outdoor activity so not much of an issue for me. It is either in the pouch and/or in my shirt pocket naked

What's really, really, really annoying is the cases that are being made for the iPhone.
they are vibrant, colourful, young, exciting, different:

http://www.pielframa.com/cases_iphone.htm
What do we get? Black, more black, maybe brown, and a series of cases made by people who have obviously never used a Touch with the Touchflo function, they think it's just another PDA. They haven't noticed the flush screen. They put strips of leather right over the place where Touchflo starts. They put a frame round the screen, so that the edges of the flush screen become unuseable.
They don't seem to realise that this phone is going to appeal to a new set of customers, who may not all be male business types. Rant, rant, rant.
sorry about that, rant finished now and feel much better for it.

I got the vertical flip one and really didnt like it.
First it made the Touch "more big" than i could imagine.
Second, the screen border got "framed" by the case leather and it was more difficult to activate some outter items on the screen.
I think these problems are not particular to the Brando case. Every leather case will have them.
So im thinking in order something like these:

for instance i am planning to buy some Ipod socks for my Touch. Of course, if it fits (i think it should fit)

This phone is new to India and not many options are available. I bought this MOBO case with belt clip that fits the Touch perfectly. Features rotating belt clip and magnetic closure. Made of PU/PVC synthetic leather with soft felt covering the bottom front flap. Local price is Rs. 205 (approximately 5.05 USD)

Hi there, I sense your frustration, but the pielframa page shows many different colours available. Sure, there may be problems with Touchflo, but you can't blame them for the colours! Vaja doesn't even seem to have a case for the Touch.

the only real 'colours' they are doing are primary blue, red and green. I'm not counting black and brown as colours. They make their own iphone case in turquoise, hot pink and lime green.
Nevertheless I would buy one of these if I didn't think that the use of the device would be largely compromised by the case.
I emailed Vaja, thinking that maybe a case was 'in the pipeline' but no, their reply stated that they had no intention of producing a case for the Touch.
They didn't even suggest that any of their universal cases might be a good fit either. Looking through them, I couldn't see one that would fit properly.
I'm holding out to see what Sena come up with. When I emailed them, they said theirs was still in development. As it was at that stage, I replied pointing out the problems with existing cases, so maybe theirs will be different. Just have to wait and see.
It's just a bit annoying that it appears that if something is produced by HTC it is perceived as 'business-like, boring, safe etc', but a device produced by Apple is perceived as 'trendy, hip, vibrant, exciting' and the cases are a reflection of this. I suppose it's partly down to the manufacturers themselves and the build up they give.

No problem, glad you feel better now! I bought a case with the Touch on the weekend, but I don't like it. I will take it back and see if I can get a black (yeah, boring) silicon case in exchange.
Cheers,
Simon....

Please let us know how you get on with the silicon case, I've heard they used to pick up a lot of dust etc, but look good otherwise.
Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against black cases. I would think it very weird if my husband suddenly acquired a hot pink carry case for his laptop/phone! I would just like the choice. Also, I'd like case manufacturers to get real users to 'test drive' some of these cases before they are launched.

Hi Marisa,
I'm using the silicon case and am generally pretty happy with it. I like the fact that the camera surround, screen and d-pad are recessed by a few mm, now when I place the device on a flat surface there's no risk of contact scratching.
It also gives it a ruggerdized look, perfect for me as I'm not really into hot pink either...!

answering my own question (that could be a bad sign?), I bought one of these and am completely satisfied. Excellent
quality, good solid protective front and back, nice snug fit but easy to get out, magnet closure and effective secure belt clip. The sides allow the head set connection to be attached with the phone still in the case. I am happy with it

[Q] Seidio Active X Hybrid Case

Anyone purchase one of these yet? Looks good but company pictures just don't do any real world justice. $19 with free shipping on eBay is a great deal, but i'd rather keep the $19 in my pocket if the case isn't as good as it looks. That being said, with the new Otterbox cases "coming soon," I would rather make sure this is worth it before taking the bait.
Thanks in Advanced,
Rob

from the back that looks like the seidio rugged case I had on my nexus. The case in photos looks good but I dont care for the part at the top.

looks really bulky.....

I bought that for my husband and he really likes it. It completely covers the buttons on the sides so that takes a little getting used to but he needed something a bit sturdier and this looks like it should do the trick. We haven't dropped it intentionally though.

Questions:
According to the website, there's an option to purchase this case with the Holster combo for $50......there's also an option to get it WITHOUT the holster for only $30. As mentioned earlier, the website/ pictures at seidoonline.com does NOT do justice to its almost unclear as to what items are included.
Q1: Did you buy this with or without the Holster?
Q2: Regardless of Holster or not, does the package ALSO include the actual Innocase II case itself? I would think it would be common sense to include it, but you never know.
Thanks in advance.

Picked up one of these after reading about it in one of the otterbox threads.
Decent price through mygearstore, in addition timed it with a 25% off twitter coupon they posted
It came in pretty quick, seems pretty nice, I only had it on for about an hour, and reboxed it for for a present for the wife to give me. I've been using a cheap silicone case from ebay/amazon. The protected corners seems to be a big advantage and I like the feeling of the finger slots on the edges.
I'll post some images after the holidays if anyone is interested.

I vote for pics on this! Although, if you can post pics sooner that would be great (to help with decision-making before christmas)
If not, its ok also. "beggars cant be choosers..."
I have a heard a few good feedbacks, but nothing in depth such as a video on youtube for the captivate. It sucks that they don't have the Rugged Combo in Blue. They have it in the Hybrid version such as the image/ pic above my post, but if you look closer, there is a slight difference in the skin as far as a "camera cover" if you want to call it that. The Hybrid (which comes in blue) does NOT have that feature. I'm also interested in seeing if there are covers for the Ports on the top (3mm jack/ usb port) in either Rugged or Hybrid. Its silly i know, but both are the same price for 49.99 at Seidio, without the luxury of having the blue skeleton/ skin for the rugged combo.
I could easily buy both just to satisfy my Blue anxiety, but who would do that?!

not the best images but here you go....

Nice.
Questions:
1) does the top of the silicon skin provide covers for the ports (jack / usb)?
2) how lose (if any) is rubber skin?
3) have you tested to see how well it fits inside pockets (jeans/ pants/ etc)?

1. openings only not a sealable/closed cover - but the usb sliding cover (phones) was easy to open and close with the case on
2. rubber skin is pretty tight it isn't loose at all, I really like the way the plastic X fits over the corners
3. its much slicker then the silicone $4 special case I've been using, part of that is the x plastic but the rubber itself is much smoother.
I won't really have a decent review until I get to use it after x-mas but the hour or so I did have it on it was worth the $18 I had to spend on it.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I bought it with the holster for him but he doesn't use it much as he stores it in his chest coat pocket most of the time and the clip gets in the way.
The Active X does not include the Innocase II as they are incompatible with each other. The Rugged is the one that fits over the Innocase II. (Basically, the Active X is just a slimmed down version of the Rugged that fits directly on to the phone itself instead of over another case.)

More Pics + Quick Feedback
Got my Active X a few days ago.
I'm a belt clip user, so this was one of few available options. I had a Seidio Innocase for my HTC Fuze that I did not like: the rubbery coating peeled and flaked off, and the clips holding the case on broke within 5 months. They sent me a brand new replacement right away but the same problems repeated. I have the same concerns about the coating on the X-skeleton portion of the Active X but fortunately there are no small plastic parts to break.
Pros:
(1) Not too bulky. I like the feel in my hand. Naked Captivate felt easy to drop even though thinness was quite sexy. Still slips in/out of pocket easily.
(2) Seems like good protection but I have no objective data on this.
(3) Great belt clip: secure, comfortable.
(4) Fit is spot on and I still have a skin on underneath.
(5) Nice blue color.
Cons:
(1) Durability concerns.
(2) Buttons have almost no feedback although they work fine and are actually quite responsive. Takes getting used to.
(3) Rubber gets dusty but its not too hard to brush off.
(4) Spendy
Verdict: Me like.
Photos: I can't make links since I'm a new user on XDA Please go to Flickr and search for "Seidio Active X Hybrid Case for Captivate". My photos should come up at the top. There is a set of 6 pics.
Cheers.

I'm actually looking forward to Christmas to put this bad boy back on.
fonion,
I'd argue about con #4. I was able to get my active x pretty cheap. Not as cheap as a amazon $3 silicone cover but still significantly cheaper then the comparable otterbox commuter case.

Very NICE review.....this in addition to Polarbee's feedback = another anxious buyer. lol
Thanks cmeyer

I'd agree with fonion's evaluation. I was given the Active X as a Christmas gift (yes, Christmas already... the first of too many to count. The kids like it though!).
It fits nice on the phone. A little bulkier than your standard run of the mill 2$ silicone cover - which is actually nice for me. I have fairly big hands and the naked Captivate was a little dainty for me - I like the bulk that this case adds.
My one complaint, which fonion also mentioned, is that the case does get dusty. I throw the phone in my pocket and it picks up lint & fuzz, which, because I'm a bit OCD, bothers me more than it should...
All in all, I'm really happy with it (only had it on a couple of days). Really pleased with the quality of the case, and the fit & feel of it.

I have one and really like it. Fits very snug and covers very well. Sure it picks up a little lint, but it will blow right off. Other observations: the hard plastic spider is rubberized too though neither part is particularly grabby. On mine the spider doesn't completely seat in the rubber, bit it's no big deal. I wish the to part of thr face wasn't covered up though. I replaced the body glove hard case with this and am quite happy with it.

I'm digging it! My spider fits well. Nice feel to it as well.
dm

I'm really surprised this case doesn't get any love. I've been really please with it over the last 6 weeks or so.

I love mine but I ended up trimming the top portion, my fat fingers couldn't get the drop menu to work.

Rearth Ringke Atrix Case Review

So I got contacted in a PM from this person asking me if Id be willing to check out their case. I saw they only had one post and I thought it was spam at first. Im used to getting PM's about getting free iPad's and whatnot so I figured this was part of the mix. They wanted my name and address to ship me a case to try and review. Cant trust anyone these days asking for your personal information right?
Then I clicked the link under the signature of the sender. Rearth was the company I got linked to. I had never heard of this company before and wasnt sure if I was still involved with a ruse or not. Then I did some digging and found that this was a new company to the US making cases for popular phones and other devices.
I figured why not and PM'd back my information. I promptly got an email thanking me for taking part of the review process and was given a tracking number for the case.
Unfortunately, they put my address on the shipment incorrectly. I watched the shipment daily in my tracker as it went from their warehouse, to my local post office, only to see the next label as shipped back to sender for bad address. Oh well, I thought it was too good to be true and was still under the impression it was too good to be true.
I emailed the person I was in contact with what had happened and they apologized and said a new case was being shipped out immediately. Needless to say, a new one was shipped and I actually received it today.
After all the said and done, the first word I can use to describe the case is "Impressive".
The packaging was very nice and was able to see the case distinctly through the packaging. When I opened up the box, a little bag fell out with the case. This is apparently something exclusive to Rearth that I hadnt seen before but is one of those "Duh, why didnt I think of that" type things. The bag contained two little audio jack caps(one white and one clear). They fit very nicely into the audio jacks and are flush with the case when its all installed. I very rarely use my audio jack so it was nice to have something to close it up so lint or other stuff dont get inside.
I didnt have choice of color for the case but luckily I am a fan of yellow and it looks good on the phone. First thing I noticed about the case was how flexible it is and yet protective feeling at the same time. There are many flexible cases on the market that slip over the phone and feel like they would tear within a matter of days and justify the $1.99 you paid on ebay for it. This case however is not in the same league, its way above that.
The case is made from a very high quality silicone and it really feels like it. I really like that its got a texture to it but its not sticky either. Its hard to describe in words. Its slippery enough to slide in and out of your jean pocket easily without pulling out lint(a la Otterbox), but has a very fine coarseness to it that fingers cling to so that it wont be dropped too easily either.
Im used to using hard cases on all my phones that clip in and out of a holster(Seidio cases specifically) so this is my first experience using a softer silicone case. I like that it fits the phone perfectly without any flimsiness. The volume buttons are covered, but raised to feel the individual up and down, but the cutouts for all the other parts are precision cut. The cutout for the fingerprint reader is angled properly all the microphone and speaker ports are perfect. And like I previously mentioned, having the little cap in the audio port matches up perfectly and is a great feature. This little cap I have found, will work with other cases as well.
After using this case for much of the day I feel that I will be using this more and more as my daily case instead of the Seidio. I really like that the Seidio fits into the belt clip perfectly but I dont use that too often. And the Rearth case seems like it might protect it better with my daily tossing and dropping of the phone than the hard Seidio case.
Dont get me wrong, I still love my Seidio cases, but if I were going to put my money down on a silicone case for my phone or other device, it would definitely be from Rearth. I highly recommend this case to anyone in the market for a moderately priced silicone case. Keep an eye on this company, they are here to stay.

Nice review man.

I have the same case in blue this would also be my first soft case coming from cases like otterbox and Speck, this company is here to stay im impressed and i recommend it to all my friends who want a good case 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered one after reading some reviews on here. Good strategy on their part.

I also just ordered one. I have always like silicone vs the hard case.

LOVE this case in black! Has some texture to it, you may or may not like it, but I do. Very slim, will update tomorrow confirming with the car dock fit. Charging dock only really works with top plate removed.

Sorry, answered in a different thread. It physically fit inside the car dock, activates car mode with the clip secured, but the lip of the top clip doesn't reach to the face of the phone, it grips the top of the phone ok.

Not sure why you used all caps...but seriously...contact them? 2 months is actually a decent amount of time for a silicone case...

[Review] Acase Leather Ez Folio Case

So the initial reason why I decided on the galaxy tab was because of its incredibly thin profile and light design.
I searched for days picking apart cases so I could keep that thin, light profile.
Well I think we found a winner folks. Its the Acase Ez Leather Folio Case.
It has an excellent feel to it, holding the tablet very tightly inside. It has those nifty magnetic flaps to keep it shut when needed. It has all of the ports cut out properly, including speakers, and the build quality is top notch.
It really has the two best viewing angles you could ask for. Perfect for typing, perfect for watching movies.
When you fold back its flap, it keeps the tablet thin and easy to view in landscape.
I guess my only 2 gripes is there not being a cut out for the charger when the flap is closed. But that seems to be very common among all folio cases. I guess they are trying to keep the dust out. Not a big deal for me as I am pretty good with a ruler and an exacto knife.
My other gripe is the bowing of the edges around the rim of the glass. It doesnt lay completely flat or flush. Although I will say its extremely stiff and probably the best I've seen in comparison. Alot of the other folio cases use a super thin and flapity leather or vinyl and, not only does it look cheap its very loose. This one is definitely an improvement over those. Its tight and uses a very thick, high quality leather, best I've seen.
If your looking for a high quality leather folio case that will keep your tablet thin & light without breaking the bank, then I recommended you go pick this one up on Amazon for $30 Shipped.
Dont forget to hit thanks if this post helped you!!

Looks very functional and thin but I am not loving the contrast white stitching.
I can't decide if I want to put full Ghost Armor on my GT or go for one of these type of cases. I would have loved the knock off Apple smart case, hopefully Samsung will approve that one soon. Screw crapple.

Personally, I love the white stitching. It matches my wallet and shoes! Haha.
Comparing it to all other folio cases, at least this one is unique with its own bit of personality and style. Searching through tons of cases, I was tired of seeing the same boaring straight black cases. I guess to each his own, but I like it cause it stands out.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Thanks for this! I was about to pull the trigger on the official Samsung case, but then I figured I'd take another quick look at the forums to see if I missed anything. I looked at your post and immediately changed my mind. I was looking for something that didn't add much bulk to the device, but would protect it fairly well. This looks pretty stylish to boot.
Also got a 3 pack of the same company's screen protectors for the Tab for 20 percent off with purchase of this case on Amazon. Ordering the case and the protectors, with next day shipping on Prime was 48 dollars, still about 20 dollars less than the Samsung case. Thank you SO much!

I like the case, just not the stitching, just my opinion.
The problem with getting such a brand new device is there not being anough quality choices in cases. Happens to me a lot because I unfortunately like to be an early adopter. I have spent so much money on Blackberry cases because I changed berries so damn often. Same happene with my Evo, bought a Golla pouch that I thought I would really like and then ended up not liking it so I got something else.
I may just do a full Ghost Armor for now until I find the ideal case, or just get the pasic slip in case for now.

I would have to agree on the stitching aspect. I like the case and would definitely buy it but I just think that doesn't sit with me for some reason. Thanks for the review.Nice to get one from a user aspect and not a company. Something I have been reading and searching for all day.

I love the look of this case. I am down to this case and the Melkco case. Tough decision to make.

Your welcome!

Personally, I love the white stitching. It matches my wallet and shoes!

Just because we are gadget geeks, does not mean there is any excuse for not dressing well and being stylish.

One of these days i will take a picture of my shoes and wallet and youll see what im talking about

This reminds me of the Yoobao executive folio case that I had for my iPad2. Have been looking for something like that and this is almost exactly like it.
Thx alot for the tip bro.

I received my Acase case today. It is a very sleek leather case that does not take away from it's attractiveness and yet its a great protective cover for my GT10.1. It is the best of both worlds.
Amazon Prime members can get it for a total of 24.95 landed.

That's my homemade case ... all materials are recycle except for to crazy glue.

Got mine and have been using it for about three weeks. I agree with the review overall. Unfortunately, the stitching on one of the corners is coming apart. I hope I can return it.

As long as you haven't poured something on the case or abused the case, you should be able to rightfully claim poor workmanship. No vendor wants to see bad reviews of their business on Amazon or on any message board.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I think this deserves some bumpage.
I've been using the case for a few weeks now and I have one major complaint. Either the stitching is coming loose, or the leather is wearing down already. The leather tab that folds over the tablet to keep it in place does not stretch tightly anymore.
This means that when holding the tablet normally, since the bottom of the tablet rests on this flap, the tablet falls through the case quite a bit. Not only do the speakers get covered since it's not sitting right in the case anymore, but the entire thing is just annoying. Very hard to hit volume or power buttons, etc.
The Tab has not fallen completely out of the case....yet. But I can see that is where this is heading.
Funny thing is, I haven't even used the Tab all that much since getting the case. This case wore VERY quickly, and now I'm looking into other options. Don't think I can get my money back from Amazon at this point either
Anybody else with this case seeing this happen?
EDIT: Can take pictures to show what I'm talking about if asked

Armband for running

There are a lot of options on eBay and Amazon, but I was wondering if somebody has already one.
I found this one: I seems minimalistic and they have different colors too and key hole for storage. But the dimples on the back seems like irritant to me.

Has anyone bought a armband for running at all id can't find any locally for my phone and id rather not order untill I kno how they preform and feel also I have really big arms anyone found on that is really large around
so i ordered the first one the one with the dimple things only cause it looks like it would stay on my arm a lil better without being so tight i hope its long good price too

I had similar issues finding a case when I had a Nexus S. I also have big arms, it seems like most of the cases are designed to fit arms of < 15 inches.
What I ended up doing was getting a cheap TPU case like this one, then taking a utility knife and cutting a couple of slits in it. I then paired it with a strap like this one.
It worked quite well with my Nexus S and I'm probably going to end up doing the same thing with my S3.

Good idea! Assuming the strap went behind the phone...did you ever feel like the phone was going to pop out of the TPU case with the extra thickness of the strap?

I have used a few armbands (though not with the S3), but then I got this: iFitness Neoprene Running Belt I'll never go back to an arm band again, the waist pouch is so much more comfortable to wear.
It is big enough to fit the S3 (along with my house-keys) though it is a bit harder to get the phone in/out than it was with my S1/Captivate. It probably would not fit if you have a bulky(i.e. Otterbox Defender) case on the phone though.

I agree. Those belt-style holders are much better than armbands, in my opinion. I have one as well, though I bought a different brand. I have to put in a "Shop Local" plug here, cuz this company is based where I live, Austin, TX:
http://www.spibelt.com/spibelt.php
If you're worried about your keys scratching your phone, they have a belt with two pockets. If the GS3 is a little tight in that other belt, these guys have a belt with a larger size. The Spibelt's material is also thin enough that you can hit buttons on your phone without taking it out of the pouch (all we need now is a rom that can advance songs with the volume rocker for the GS3)
I'm not a salesman, just a happy customer

Yes, the strap went behind the phone.
I can't speak to the S3 as I don't have that S-curve case yet but with my Nexus S I never had any concern that the phone would pop out. The S-curve case for my Nexus S had quite a substantial 'lip' that kept the phone securely in the case. Based on the pics in that ebay ad, the design for the S3 looks to have very similar 'lip'.

Belkin makes a fitness armband specially for the S3. I ordered one off Amazon, but a few places carry it.

I like the running belt idea, never considered it before. Might have to now.

does anybody have experience with this CrazyOnDigital armband or manufacturer?
or have any comments on it?

I bought their SG III protective case http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1341627318&sr=1-1 , and now that armband will be in my hands by Tuesday. The case ins comparable to the Otterbox commuter. All buttons work easy fit and great quality. It looks way better in person than that picture renders it. It's two a piece case and a hard plastic outer cover with a rubber silicone bezel. The circles are like shock absorbers for when it hits the ground to absorb the shock of being dropped.

Belkin is selling one in amazon, does anybody have it?
I'm planning to buy one for when I ride my bike but I never own before one so I'm really sure what to expect from this one

I purchased a sport armband for my Droid X for the same purpose (bike rides) and have to say it can get a bit annoying at times (due to the sheer size of the device) and considering this device is even larger, I'm not sure how comfortable it would be, at least on long treks.

i use an armband i got at academy for my s2. it gets the job done for my s3 also.
Armband

A ziplock bag and the pocket in my running shorts or on the back of my cycling jersey costs me all of about .05 and works for about 10-20 workouts.
Pair that with a good set of bluetooth headphones (Jaybird Freedom) and I'm happy as a tick on a fat dog!

I ditched my Gnote for the S3 only because i couldn't run with it on my arm. No matter how much i spent on different armband cases...it was still very uncomfortable to run with a 5.3" phone on your arm lol.
i ordered the second the OP had posted and it feels awesome to run again!

Belkin has an armband case, although the CrazyOnDigital one looks good too:
http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...TF8&coliid=I2K3A2WN5H810V&colid=3PKXTAWGFU9NA
My main important points are:
-headphone placement
-strap tightness
-ease of power button access / touch screen access
Found something on the belkin here, looks cheap:

Thanks for the video, I'm not sure how is going to do because it's not an enclose one, no zipper on top in case it decide to slip out...not very sure how I'm going to like this one
It's getting here today so well see

anyone can recommend any other belt for sports, mainly running? and sometimes for casual use. i cant find anything decent in my country, lol
ive considered armband, but belt is a safer choice i think.
something like this the spibelt mentioned before, top quality and stuff. they dont ship to europe (poland) and it is a little too small i think, but looks good
