Hi,
Anyone know any soft pouch that would fit the Galaxy Nexus?
For my Nexus S, I am using this:
http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.php?divid=Google&model=Google+Nexus+S&cat=Cases&skuno=82280
The material is very soft, and I like that.
I put my Nexus S naked there, without screen protector. And it's still good, shinny, no scratches
So, I am wondering if there is this kind of pouch for the Galaxy Nexus size.
Probably from Galaxy S II?
Thanks.
This is nice!

Amazon UK have a range of Bugatti covers (I don't remember if exactly that one was listed, since I'm looking for a holster type case).
Balls to covers/cases. Seem like a waste of time really. If one came with GN then I wouldn't mind (no idea if one does or not).
The buagatti soft cover dimensions I can find: 62 x 112 mm
Galaxy Nexus: 67 mm x 135 mm
I'm sure it would stretch to accomodate the width, but it's no good if the phone is hanging out the top of the pouch.
edit: apparently those dimensions are for the small case though, maybe there's one that would work. Having a hell of a time finding this thing though.
I found the official site:
http://www.bugatti-mobilecases.de/handytaschen_slimcase-sl-black-bugatti_4871.html
There the SL size 76mm x 133mm
I think that would fit nicely

Perhaps so, if it's like the old nexus one case we should be able to stretch it lengthwise a little bit to accommodate the height disparity.
To that end, searching for SL size got a few hits:

Went ahead and ordered one, will try to get some empirical data on whether it will fit the nexus well when I receive it...I figure if my thunderbolt fits and I get x amount of clearance with the height, then we're good
I found a beautiful one, but not yet in stock.
It's made of suede leather and the logo's are created by lasertechnology.
I hope it will come soon, because I like this one a lot

I think I'll be getting that case unless Samsung are kind and include a nice slipcase with the phone.
I dig the design on that, but don't want exposed corners.
I really hope you get a nice case inside the box. I know with my HTC HD2 I got a really sexy leather pouch and I still have even after two years, it's treated my phone well and saved it a few times Hopefully Samsung will be kind and give us one for all the damn confusion there is around this phone...lol
The slip case that came with the Nexus One was amazing. It's the perfect protection for a phone. I like the naked phone handling experience (no cases/screen protectors) and this protects it in your pocket. I wish more OEM's would include one with their phones.
yeah the nexus one case is what I'm all about emulating. I used it on my droid inc since it was the closest thing to a nexus I could get at the time and it fit in the same pouch =)....I miss that pouch!
I just got one of this from Bugatti, size SL
Tested on my friend's SGS2 and it is perfect fit.
But, keep in mind that GN is 5 mm taller. So this Bugatti SL will expose the phone a little bit, which I like. Because that make it easier to grab and pull it off the pouch!
PERFECT
Now, back to waiting my pre-order in The Netherlands ... *duh* ... *painful*
Has anyone fond anything available yet? Any sort of sleeve or pouch?
Phone due next week, and would really like to have something to protect it until more accessories start to drip through around xmas time.
Got the bugatti case in today, testing fit with my thunderbolt as I don't have a GN. It fits just about perfect with this phone, with edges hanging over top just enough to provide some protection. Tbolt is 121 mm versus 136 for the GN, so the GN will definitely be hanging out of this case if used. The material feels more suedey than neoprene and although it feels nice, does not stretch like the old nexus one cases. I don't see it suiting my purposes for the GN as I want the phone fully contained in the pouch.
Attached: picture of my thunderbolt in case
Additionally...the different material is much more grippy to the phone, it is really hard to get it out of the pouch (unlike the nexus one pouch, sigh!). I'd rate this as not too great for the galaxy nexus if you are trying to emulate the good old nexus one pouch.
I tested bugatti on SGS II and fitted well.
Certainly GN will be hanging out about five mm, but thats ok to have something to hold to release it from the pouch. I have similar like this situation with my Nexus S.
And about the material, you are right, it does not stretch much. But it can stretch! So, I expect it will be better in the long run (stretched).
Unless we dan find another brand ...

I think i am going to go for a pouch made for the Galaxy Note... would prefer my GN to "swim" a bit inside the pouch. This one looks OK until Samsung releases an official pouch:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/fitBAG-tail...AJYN4KFF42CL8&s=generic&qid=1321866019&sr=1-1
It appears that they also have it for the Galaxy Nexus!

yeah i ordered!
I've just ordered one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...6&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:AU:1123#ht_2130wt_1139
I'm a bit apprehensive about the capacity of it, as I'm not sure the 5.3" format _really_ does fit but will post back when it turns up and let you guys know.
I'm been searching high and low for a suitable arm band.
But unable to find any, hope post back soon.
on description:
Made for most large smartphones including HTC EVO 4G, HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Droid Charge, and other devices up to 3.3"W x 5.1"H
isn't compatible with Note.
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.
rescuesupply.co.uk/aquapac-aq218-large-armband-case-waterproof-1129-p.asp
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.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15069923319...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4600wt_1159
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.
http://store.aquapac.net/explore-product-range/waterproof-phone-cases/large-armband-case-218.html
although in the velomobile I tend to find using one of these around my neck works better
http://store.aquapac.net/medium-whanganui-fits-kindle-3-658-17.html
(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.

Is there a way to buy a normal armband for Note (i need it for running), not an aquapac armband ?
Okay, so I'm wondering if this exists: a book style case for the Galaxy Tab that doesn't add a lot of bulk, but does fold over to allow it to be used as a stand.
I have a GTab 10.1 LTE, and a XOOM 4G, and I'm trying to decide which to keep. I prefer the size and weight of the Galaxy Tab, but the XOOM came with a really great case that doubles as a stand. The Galaxy Tab came with something similar, but it's so thick and sloppy that I might as well be carrying the XOOM for all the weight savings I actually get. Is there anything equivalent for the Galaxy Tab that doesn't make it chunky?

I'm using the same original case from Samsung, my tab is white and here comes the problem. The internal lining for the case causes black color on the back of my tab which is very hard to remove. I use my original perfume with high quality cloth and pushes very hard to remove this coloration from the stupid case.

I use this case, its some fake leathery material, holds the tab very nice and tight, everything fits perfectly, and its pretty slim for the material its is
Closes with a magnet, which is unfindable on the cover xD
and it can be used as a stand, very nice. and cheap!

+1 on this case. Best one on the market. Its a generic branded by several sellers, so you might search to find it a bit cheaper.
I'm using a "smart cover" style case. not really versatile or transformable, but i do like the one posted above. looks like a great stand for desk/table use. i might have to order that

If you search for "galaxy s3 grid armband" on eBay, you'll find it. I bought from "wanghaostore".
It's also listed under other names, you can search further under "galaxy s3 sport armband" once you know what the auction picture looks like.
The armband came a bit folded in half probably from shipping, I need to set something heavy on it to flatten it out....
Fit
The armband fits really good. All the buttons are accessible. You can change the volume while running, as well as easily access the ports and power button.
The armband also works with cases! As you can see in the last picture I have my diztronic TPU case on it.
Feel
The material is a little scratchy, but overall it's comfortable and will stay put on the arm. It's a tech-fabric material with what looks like a nylon weave "cushion" underneath.
It should be pretty sweat-resistant, the material where the phone sits is neoprene, so it shouldn't absorb sweat or scratch the phone.
The strap length is a bit on the short side. It fits for me, I have 13-14 inch biceps. It could probably go up to 19-20 inch biceps, but beyond that you might need a different holster. Smallest it could go is probably around 11-12 inches.
Usability
I always have problems with the plastic screen protector on armbands bubbling up. With this one the case stretches it, so I can easily use the phone while its on my arm. I don't anticipate issues being able to slide or use Pandora.
The main benefit of the armband is also its biggest detriment: All the ports are exposed. Don't plan on using it in the rain. But for a sunny day, or indoors at the gym, it's a great holder.
Price - $1.99 + $1.50 shipping on eBay.
So buy 5, so you can replace it if it becomes stanky from sweat.
Good review. Do you think it will fit those with extended batteries with a tpu case?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Maybe. Its thick enough, there's plenty of vertical space.
My friends phone with incipio silicrylic case fits. Bit tight (width-wise, height has plenty of room),
May even fit with otter box.

Ah, yeah, same here. I was pleasantly surprised, I would say it is the best armband on the market right now.
It may not work with extended battery + TPU case (depends how thick), but I'm fairly confident in saying it'll at least work with the extended battery.
There are a lot of complaints about the Belkin armbands absorbing water/sweat.
I had the iArmbands style for my last phone, they suck.
I might get one of the iGadgitz or CrazyOnDigital type for rain, but this will be my primary-use one, since I don't have to take off the case.
Looks like it's $4. shipped now.

Is it possible you could post a picture with the arm holster on, just to see how it fits ?
And how long was the shipping time ? From where to where ?

I've thought of this too. I'm intrigued by the Tetrax and whether it would be stable (mostly because I've been thinking about getting one for my car).
http://www.tetrax.com/us/products/iphone-ipod/tetrax-xway
It'd be interesting to get one of the FIX connectors and epoxy it to some sort of strap, like the TuneBand.
Or you could get a cheap case and make your own TuneBand

Wrong button, enjoy the thanks.
NO. That is not the right one.
I actually bought that one through eBay, it sucks. The one I got, the phone doesn't fit in it (not even without the case, it kept pressing the volume button). And the strap is huge, the arm band wouldn't fit on my arm. I ended up throwing it away.
As far as the arm band goes, it should easily fit with the SGP Neo. The diztronic, despite being thin on the back, is quite thick around the sides.
Hello everybody.
I own an original Galaxy Tab S, which I use at work (I'm a teacher). And I also own a Tab S2, which I use at home.
The thing is that, while the Tab S is perfectly capable of doing everything I need, it's, with it case, much heavier than the S2, and when I use it while standing for a while I get tired.
I really LOVE the case I bought a year ago for the S2. It was called "Origami Smart Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 T810". It's incredibly light, but I don't know what brand it is, it has the letters FC on it.
I got another origami case for the Tab S from Roocase, but it's much heavier.
The thing is, I just bought a Tab S3 and would like to know if anybody knows of a really light case for it.
Thanks in advance.
Give this a try : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhkBIBYEIc and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWHM7N...=1492283382&sr=1-10&keywords=tab+s3+case&th=1
From what i read the lightest on is their own ~50$ cover , but it offers less protection. If you need some more protection then take a look at that amazon link.
I got this one

Thanks everyone. When you get your cases it would be really helpful if you could write about your impressions. I'm mainly interested on the weight: I don't care for having a really light and thin tablet and then putting it in a case that doubles it weight and width.
By the way, I realized that I could look for "fc cases" in Google and found the webpage that manufactures (or sells) the case I had for the Tab S2. Forefront Cases. However, they don't have anything for the S3.
I sent them an e-mail and got an error: their inbox is full. I tried calling them this morning and the call went straight to voice mail. I've sent them a twit, but their account has been inactive for five or six months. I'm starting to worry that they may have gone out of business.
If anybody knows a way to contact them and try to find out if they are making another origami case for the Tab S3, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks for the link, I was thinking of getting that before I got the one I listed before your post. My one gripe is how the SPEN clip would rub against the screen of the tablet, even though I have a tempered glass on mine, I'm afraid it will scratch. Guess, an option would to put some type of tape to prevent scratches.

My one gripe is how the SPEN clip would rub against the screen of the tablet, even though I have a tempered glass on mine, I'm afraid it will scratch. Guess, an option would to put some type of tape to prevent scratches.

Sadly the pen pouch interferes with the cover when folded into a triangle to prop up the tablet at an angle. The cover does not fold neatly into a triangle.

Thanks everyone. When you get your cases it would be really helpful if you could write about your impressions. I'm mainly interested on the weight: I don't care for having a really light and thin tablet and then putting it in a case that doubles it weight and width.
By the way, I realized that I could look for "fc cases" in Google and found the webpage that manufactures (or sells) the case I had for the Tab S2. Forefront Cases. However, they don't have anything for the S3.
I sent them an e-mail and got an error: their inbox is full. I tried calling them this morning and the call went straight to voice mail. I've sent them a twit, but their account has been inactive for five or six months. I'm starting to worry that they may have gone out of business.
If anybody knows a way to contact them and try to find out if they are making another origami case for the Tab S3, I'd be really grateful.

I know this is an old thread but had to ask: Aren't the dimensions of the S2 and the S3 basically identical? Can't you just use the S2 case on your S3?

Thanks a lot for your answer. I couldn't try it, since I sold the S2 with the case before the S3 arrived. But I think there'd be two main problems: muffled speakers and the fact that the S2 is 10% thinner than the S3.

Of course you're right. I'm guessing the speaker issue will be a real one for almost any case, even though some might be loose / roomy enough to make a snug fit.
Did you ever find your light case? I'm looking for one now. I'm thinking of using this (with a screen protector):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWTKMR3
Or this, which I'd buy but for the fact that many people say the smart function doesn't work:
https://www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Semi-transparent-Samsung-9-7-Inch-SM-T820/dp/B00UP37UKK/
Hmmm... But since I have fingerprint login maybe the smart cover issue won't be a problem for me? I don't want to leave the tablet unlocked.
Also: I was trying to find a case with a built in pen loop / holder but options are limited so my plan is to buy one where I can attach a couple of these on the same side to hold it in place (like on my Surface Pro 3):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8X33Y9/
I might even carry it in a pouch like this, and get some simple silicon / gel skin for minimal protection (and risk the damage if dropped):

I ended up getting this one.

Cheap and light enough. Nobody will mistake it for a high quality cover, but auto wake on works.
I really, really miss the origami cover, 'though. It was much more stable and you could have 3 different angles instead of just two.

Yeah I had added the S2 origami to my cart a couple of days ago but given the possible problems you raised I'm not going to buy it. But I'm glad to have thought this through a little more because I'm now thinking I won't use the smart function much and so that shouldn't be a dealbreaker.
I have had this case for my Tab since day 1 and love it. You can put the S-pen in the elastic loop if you really want to, but doesn't provide a whole lot of protection for it. The case does have the smart features for the screen wake built in and I have used these cases on my other tablets with no issues. Nice and lightweight and you have multiple angles you can set it at or just lay it flat.

Thanks. That looks like a good option (7.4 oz weight is okay).
I got a keyboard case bundled, but don't plan to use the keyboard that much. So I wanted a secondary, lightest possible option to use just for reading / markup. I went with this plus a glass screen protector (it's 3 oz):

Extremely light, and I think it'll do for my purposes.

I ordered the one in the first link the i-blason case. I'll get it tomorrow and I'll post some photos and give my thoughts since there are no reviews on this case at all. Ordered a TPG screen protector to go with it.
Beware the case magnets (smart covers) for the Tab S3, the magnet can ruin the S3 digitizer and sleep function. I had one S3 replaced due to this issue. I have never seen this problem on other devices.
