I like armbands for working out but I hate those ones with the clear plastic face and that seems to be all that is out there for the Note.
I was at a local Academy Sporting Goods and I was surprised to find a good carrier for running. It is the Spibelt (www.spibelt.com). It is a stretchy waist pouch with a stretchy belt and I was shocked when it managed to fit the Note. It looks like a python that just ate a paperback book but it works and it works well.
I went to the gym to lift and I ran 3 miles with it. At the gym you constantly have to shift it around so your weight is not on it. While running it does not bounce and I can forget it is there (except for Pandora pumping through bluetooth headphones).
I've used a ziploc bag to protect it from sweat and I have some "loksaks" on order that are basically just heavy duty ziplocs.
Very happy. Running with the Note was my biggest concern about buying this monster and now I have a good solution.
I'll post pics when I get back home to camera.

Looking forward to the pics.

The surprising thing is how well it rides. I literally forget it is there when running. It rides close to the body and does not bounce.
Sorry if the pics are huge...

I see a few Spibelts on the website, which version is yours?
Not sure. I think most of the variations are just color and/or waterproofing. I should have kept the packaging. I think it is just the basic "spibelt" http://store.spibelt.com/Spibelt-p/spibeltparent1.htm.
I'll try to swing by the store and get a model number tomorrow or Friday.

I bought the water-resistant spibelt from a while back for my EVO4g, and was shocked to see the Note was able to fit just barely. But definitely works.
I can't seem to make any comments.
omg sick
Thanks this is exactly what i was trying to look for can't believe i found it thanks to you!!!
So lame when people post pictures as a post.
Sorry for digging this up, can anyone please tell me which spibelt will fit the note the normal 6.5" or the large 8.9" ? Thanks

Well, Since my time around XDA I have always stated I DO NOT like cases. Even though I know I should use them for protection, I hate what they do to the phone. I like my phone NAKED, to me it is like making a sexy girl wear a armor suit.... While she is very protected, she is not half a fun to handle and not nearly as nice to look at. So.... I can across a possible solution to protect my phone from scratches and for it you have a 'custom" look. I thought I would post up for anybody who has been kicking around the idea of trying them out.
Ordering and Shipping::: I went to http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Motorola_Droid_X on Saturday and chose the H.R Giger (Always been a fan) after browsing through the tons of selections. Placed my order, and received a confirmation immediately stating that they will "produce" my skin and it will be shipped within 2-4 "business" days. I also received a link to download the wallpaper that goes with the skin.
Monday morning I received a UPS tracking confirmation confirming my order has shipped and 2 days later it was at my door. So, as for the production, and promptness I would have to give them a 10 easy.
Packaging/Quality::: Package was a simple plastic sleeve with the vinyl sheet containing the skins. One thing i did notice is that there were NO instructions or "tips" for installation. While I guess installation is self explanatory, some tips would have been nice ie: do stretch the skin. LOL
The quality of the skins are very nice, they seem to have a nice thickness to them, the color looks great, and while the adhesive holds tight... It is very forgiving while installing. Don't be afraid to get it right.
Installation::: This will be short.... I was hesitate at first but I can say, "it was not bad at all". I wiped my phone down with Pledge MultiSurface wipes (What I always use to clean it with" and taking my time I stuck them on. DONE. It was quite painless.
Overall::: Well, it is only my second day running them but so far I am pleased. I am not worried about putting down my phone, sliding around, or because of the tackyness not slipping out of my hand while banging out some emails and texts.
Hey, for the price of $14.95 and the look of the phone being able to change... IMO, you can't beat it!!.
Pics below.

Great review. Thanks!

how are the edges?? are they curling up at all?? im really considering getting this, just for the sheer awesomeness..
I have one of the gelaskins on my Droid X. The edges are fine and they never curl up. The skins are top notch and high quality. The only problem I have had was with the Droid X moto car dock. With the skin its a tighter fit and there was one corner, on the top left of the phone, that would sometimes catch and curl the skin back slightly when inserting the phone into the dock, but other than that the skin is very durable and wont curl up on you in the long run.

I haven't had any peeling yet. As you can see in the pics I have the Moto Extended Battery, and with my media dock and my car dock everything is holding on like it should.

appreciate the feedback! will order one today as well! im tired of my big case
I just got the iFaraday stylus for $12 and its great so far. The tip is made of cloth and slides great on the screen while wiping off fingerprints. It works with barley any pressure, even on the soft menu and back buttons. So if your looking for the perfect stylus I think I found it.
what do you use it for?
I mostly use it for swype text input, I can get up to 40 words per min
I guess its not the greatest stylus for drawing, but I wouldn't know because I never draw

I was thinking of getting a stylus for my phone, but it's not like the Note where there is a place to put it, it has to be carried around in a pocket.
It's too much of a pain since I would probably forget it all the time.

That's a good point. I really only use it at home. I don't use it on the go. Some have that plastic piece that fits in your 3.5mm headphone jack on a tie on the stylus which is a decent solution
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
is the tip sharp enough for draw... say in S memo?
or its tip as big as finger

I bought one of these awhile ago, for drawing... and the JOT is how you do a precise stylus. anything else (as far as I have tried) is like drawing with a piece of sidewalk chalk.

Agreed--I just bought one of these as well, and was pleased that (notwithstanding some warnings) it works quite well even through my Skinomi screen protector. Makes Graffiti entry quite reliable too. Not only that, but I bought the Mini version, and it fits in the other pocket of my SIII's belt case, so I can carry it everywhere. {ProfJonathan}

I think they also offer a different selection of tips

If there's anything I hate more than snot dripping down my nose in a snowstorm, is not being able to use my phone while out in the cold. Back before capacitive touchscreens it wasn't too complicated of an endeavor to place a phone call because you could bang your fingers on the buttons to make a phone call through your gloves. Now it is more complicated than an adult trying to open a child-proof pill bottle.
Newer Technology hopes to change all that. Ok, maybe not the snot dripping thing (or the child-proof pill bottle problem for adults), but they have come up with some gloves which enable you to use your touchscreen while out in the cold AND keep your fingertips from going numb. They call them "NuTouch Gloves" and they are available for purchase on Amazon. They market these for iCrap devices, but they obviously work just as well on all touchscreen devices.
These gloves do in fact work. I am able to slide my finger across my Galaxy S III and Note 10.1 just as if my fingers were naked. I haven't once had an issue with having to duplicate a swipe or a touch due to these gloves thanks to the special electricity-conducting fibers on the finger tips. I did, however, have issues with my hands becoming cold as these gloves are not very thick. They also make my hands more slick, thus causing me to lose control of my phone a few times. Luckily no damage was done, but my life flashed before my eyes a few times. Even with a rubber case on my phone it was still slick.
Overall for the price you can get these for at Amazon, roughly ~$10USD, they are a bargain and make a great gift.

Yeah I saw those on Amazon as well. These are nice and work - just don't give me a lot of warmth but they do the job.
Cool! Thanks for the post :cyclops: My mom's looking for a glove like this

Worth buying, and which is recommended for online store?
How's the stitching on them? I have a pair of touch screen gloves but they were cheap, 3 dollars from ebay, and the stitching is horrible! And they're the ones with the silver tips so it says to the world "hey i'm using touch screen gloves". .. ugly. Thanks for the review. I may consider these.

The stitching is good on these - good quality in comparison to some others I have used.
"Cuh-hold"? "Coould"? What is this "cold" of whence you speak? It's ~60 out- a bit chilly for the morning, but it's still a little early yet!
... but seriously, thanks for the review; I've got family back East that could probably use a few pair of these.
