I'm looking for some recommendations as well.
not sure if any fit i ran in to same problem with my droid x. i looked at every one i could. hope someone has some info as well
I'm looking for one as well. Odd that there aren't any considering the gps route tracking and music-playing capabilities of phones these days.
I think this will fit but I'm not positive http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=VM-ZTeOzJ5TPtwf15_TrCw&ved=0CCQQ8wIwAA#
You can try ones for the Evo, should work fine. Or this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Thunderbolt-4G-Resistant-VanGoddy/dp/B004THYG3C/ref=pd_ybh_7?pf_rd_p=280800601&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1501&pf_rd_i=ybh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1E1CCP03WB09P7M5959W
I don't have it so can't vouch for it, waiting for something non-neoprene.
I generally find smart-phones to be too heavy/bulky for arm bands. I picked up a Nathan Shadow Pak runner's pack (I'm a new user, so I can't link to it, but just google the name, it's on Amazon, too -- about $15). It looks like a tiny fanny-pack, but the band and the pouch are stretchy, so nothing bounces and it fits nicely on my waistline so I don't even notice it's there. It is just big enough to fit your phone, a house key, and an id/credit card.
I tried an iPhone4 arm band just for giggles. Its a super tight fit and you cant access the bottom buttons. The touch screen worked but I would be worried about moisture build up in the arm band.
Looking for a nice sleeve for my SGT, something like the

Don't need to try it - the devices have two different form factors. Their physical dimensions aren't even close. (iPad2 is 4:3, SGT10.1 is 16:9.)

You are right, but by all technicalities, the majority of the 10.1 inch android tabs are 16:10...
Ipad 2 is ~241mm x ~186mm while the gtab10.1 is ~256mm x ~173mm
some sleeves *might* work, but others might not.
Also, this is a Samsung branded sleeve designed specifically for the Galaxy Tab 10.1

I am very close to ordering one just because its an option i might be interested later on if the bookcover case falls apart...

The problem is the length in landscape mode. The Tab is much longer and if you get a tight fitting cash for an iPad, or even a semi loose one it still wont fit because it is a centimeter and a half longer.

Can anyone suggest an arm band for the Epic Touch 4G? Unfortunately the extra size of the phone has made my current one unusable.
try this one, its a belt

Is it comfortable to run with a belt like that on? Seems like it would be bouncing all over the place.

It doesn't bounce and you won't even know it's there after half a mile. I had mine for over a year and used it with an Evo 4g, nexus s, Photon, and an Epic 4g Touch. Ask for the bigger size model. You can fit extra batteries and keys in there too.
Is our phone the same dimensions of the infuse? I imagine since it's been out longer there may be some options and could fit our phones.

That's not belt, it's a fanny pack.

i tried the infuse 4G cases, they fit fine, not exactly the right size, but even the hard cases were big enough. the main issue is that the infuse is square at the corners. but any soft case or band or belt or fanny pack that fits the infuse should at least hold you over. i would say wait for an exact fit if you can, but the universalish armbands that fit the infuse will be 100% fine.
I've got this one that I used with my Evo, and it works pretty well with the E4GT:

This one looks pretty good. I think I might get this as well. Anyone agree or disagree?
I prefer bluetooth headphones. I can never get used to arm bands while running.

Guys, I have been using the tunebelt for a couple of years now. I just got this larger one for my Epic 4g touch. Check out this video.

I bought one for my Evo 3D from http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...53&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_3027wt_926
You can't beat the price $4.17, it take a little longer to get to you but seriously for that price....

Do you think the fact that the Evo 3D is a little thicker mean the Epic 4G would move around inside the armband? I would want something to hold the phone tight. If so, then this seems good enough for me.

The Evo3D fit in there very tight, so I think it would be fine for our phone. I don't have it with me at the moment or I would try it out for you, but here's the link to the Galaxy S 2

FYI, if you're picking up a Tunebelt there are a couple different sizes, I believe the one mentioned in the thread previously is the AB85, I ended up picking up the slightly smaller size, AB84, and it fits the 4.5" GSII just fine.
Granted I'm using the T-Mo variant but I believe the AB84 should fit the Sprint variant just as well.
I am aiming for the EVO3D one from Ebay, but I wonder if the Epic Touch will fit in there without having to take off the TPU case.

The one I had for my OG Evo fits my E4GT, but I always remove the TPU case because the raised edge makes it harder for the plastic from the case to make contact with the screen.

I have the LG Bluetooth Headset that has media controls so I wouldn't be moving anything on the screen while I am working out.

depends how picky you want to be. i bought the LIVEstrong arm band, for i think the iphone, at radio shack and i had to drop an elbow on the phone to get it to go in but after that it's pretty sweet. comfortable, flexible, breathable and a hole for your headphones. that's all i wanted. ya mean?
I tried one for the iphone 4. They are WAY to small. You can get it in there and the hole for earplugs align, but its to hard to get in and out. Not worth it
I just put it in my back pocket, works like a charm. I don't think I've ever run across an arm-band that was big enough to holster this beast.
with more and more giant beastly phones coming out there has to be something! I found a decent sized one that fits my evo but the hole doesnt align for the headphones... its really annoying... i guess i could cut one into the right size...
Best Buy Generic Android Arm Band
I looked online, but didn't fine many options, so I went to local best buy and found a generic HTC Android arm band that has been great. I was roughly $20 and is good quality. I have the extended battery (3500mAH SEDIO) and it works like a charm. Use it when lifting, running, and elliptical and it stays put. Definitely recommend.
I went to wal mart and got a Phillips one, made for the Iphone, but it is sort of a nylon/stretchy type material, my evo fits in it great, plus the holder is thin enough you can "sort of" see through it when screen is on..I set up swype guestures w/ cm7 on the lock screen and can register my "next track" guesture through it...works good enough!
I like this one
I bought this one a while back. Fits like a glove. I tried a similar Nike strap and the EVO didn't fit and the strap was too short to go around my arm. I don't have big arms. I just think the Nike was made for a girl maybe. Anyway, here is the Amazon "link".
Black Durable Neoprene Exercise Sports Workout Armband with Adjustable Velcro Strap for Sprint HTC EVO 4G Android Smartphone
Sorry, first post. Can't post a link, but I copied and pasted this from the title of the item on Amazon.
I'm on my second arm band, and still no luck finding the right one. Anyone know if HTC sold OFFICIAL arm bands for the EVO?
I usually ride with my Camelbak.. there is a pouch in it that fits my phone just fine.. I find these sony earbuds that I got from radio shack has a long enough cord and there is no binding..
Although I have herd of some people using iPhone buds and are able to control functions like Track up or down and volume..
any thoughts?

I searched for an armband for both my Evo and iPhones in the past and found that the better solution for me was a holster case for it that holds it horizontally (landscape) on my hip. It works with shorts, sweatpants, or whatever as long as the waste band is somewhat tight or has a drawstring.
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.
