Belt pouch - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?

It will fit into the Maxpedition 5" Clip-On Phone / Radio Holster. It is a bit pricey and a bit rugged (so not so good with a smart suit or tux!) but it will hold your phone securely.
Junk the metal belt clip because it can pull out. Thread your belt through the 3 Molle straps horizontally or make a belt loop from a Maxpedition 3" Tactie (Google instructions on using Tacties) or a Malice clip. I use this holster for my Galaxy S2 with a Tactie and it's totally secure.
One point to consider is that the corners of the phone are exposed but I find that the phone cover protects those.

I was looking to buy one of these for my Lunada but wasn't sure if it would fit. Thanks for the info! Ordering it now.

Happy to help. Bear in mind that the 5" holster is really 5" tall and a Nexus is 5.33", so you'll have a little bit of phone protruding. Personally I think that's perfectly fine and gives you something to get hold of to pull the phone out, but I should probably have made that clear. The retaining strap is plenty long enough to accommodate the extra length.
I bought 2 of these for my SGS2 (black and khaki) and I love them. They're totally secure so long as you junk that crappy metal belt clip.
Please post back your opinion once you've tried yours.

Just received mine last week. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't have any 5" tac ties left to get it on my bag. Ordered those, should have them today sometime.
Overall I don't really have anything to complain about other than wishing I had a way for molle to be both secure and also easy to remove when I don't need it

I believe you only need a 3" Tactie.

Have you tried Malice clips? They're easier to thread and to undo providing you have a suitable tool handy. I personally don't like them because I find them big, clumsy and inflexible. They make horrid belt loops but they do hold stuff to a pack more tightly than a Tactie and won't ever come undone by accident.
If I don't mind something swinging about a bit I just fasten it with a carabiner. That's the ultimate quick-release Molle connector. :laugh:

Neoprene Sports Armband

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.

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.

Case w/ Belt Clip

My GN arrives tomorrow and of course I'm very excited!
Does anyone wear their GN in a case with a belt clip? I've seen one on a website but the only review said the interior was rough.....can't have that.
If I have to start carrying my phone in a different manner due to the phone's size, so be it - but I'd prefer to have it on my belt.
Thanks for any feedback!
I wear a belt clip with my slacks and tank top.

Just got the Note Saturday and looking for the same. Not a lot to choose from what I have seen. I saw this on Amazon and for less on ebay. Have not ordered yet. I did order a TPU case and screen protector from Amazon but not sure yet about how to use as a phone, whether in the pocket or on belt...

Me too. I have never carried a phone in my pocket. Right now my note is backing up my skyrocket until I can figure out how to use and carry this as a phone. I prefer to wear on the belt but that seems to be a less popular way these days.

I too prefer carrying my case on my belt. Would prefer a horizontal case, but got this one last February. Belt loop through the belt, soft pouch.
Perfect size for the streak.
If/when a horizontal case comes up with a spring belt clip that isn't EXPENSIVE, I'll get one of those, but for now this one serves the purpose.

Yep fits it without stretching the pouch. Easy to get it in/out of the pouch.
The only "issue" is sort of a shoot yourself in the foot with a gun issue...
Sometimes when I get home, if I'm on the phone when I pull out the belt, I forget the phone is still on there until I hear it thump against the carpet LOL...never had an issue with it being in the pouch hitting the floor.

Please suggest leather belt case that can fit Note with slim rubber case

Hola
I see a growing list of sites now offering leather cases for the Galaxy Note. My problem is that I already have a slim rubber case over my Note so it add a little extra bulk to the Note that now it won't fit into any of these leather cases.
I presently have the SGP Ultra Capsule case for the Note:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SGP-Ultra-Capsule-Case-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-BLACK-/260938444071?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc124ad27
I am even willing to use a generic camera case as long as it can fit on my belt. I searched a number of local computer shops, photography outlets, even a few places at the local mall (those kiosks) that has anything that can accommodate this extra size... I found nothing yet!!!
Can someone please help me? Do you think if I searched say for the Dell Streak 5" that such cases can work for the Note in a slim rubber case?
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
I suggest the PDair P01 leather case. I have it and it fits great with a TPU case on the GNote. A little snug, but no problems getting it in and out of the case. I think it would probably fit your case as well. The PDair case is a bit pricey (around $40), but the quality is great.

At some point in life, you have to quit caring what people think about you and do what you want. Carrying a phone on your belt is certainly much more comfortable than in your pocket. Try it. You may change your mind.

How small are your pockets? I wear skinny jeans most of the time and have no issues, it fits perfect and you don't even realise its there, and the other 2 people who wear phones on there belts, don't do it because they don't care what people think, they do it to show off there phone, which makes them douches.

Just think how many people would not be able to post how they scratched their GNote screen because they put it in their pocket...if they wore it on their belts, lol! The fact that you said skinny jeans means you are probably under 30.

Eh what do you mean? Your phone is miles safer in your pocket than on your belt buckle. And I am 30 :-D, what does that have to do with anything? Again it isn't uncomfortable carrying your phone in your pocket? Plus its on show so you gearing yourself up to get mugged.
I have always worn my phone on my belt if I can, except for very small phones. That does not include the Note! I have far too much other stuff in my pockets - credit card wallet, money wallet & keys. I have tried to reduce these, but there is just too much I need to have with me.
I am waiting for a couple of noreve cases (one with belt clip) and a 'tough as nuts' case (with a proper belt loop). In the mean time, to avoid bulk and scratches, I picked up a couple of neat cases for a Navman GPS device. One is a semi-hard case with foam padding for travel & storage, the other is a 'normal' case with a bit on the back I unpicked to make a belt loop. After a month of wear I need to re-sew the loop, but apart from that it is fine. Those two were about $30.
It is just a bit too loose for my liking, so would probably fit nicely with a rubber case. The inside is smooth so it should slide.
As I usually do now, check the GPS section of any electronics store and find the cases. Find the one that fits. I used to look for camera cases, but these have become to small & fat, where phones are now thinner and larger.
Check out this item I found on eBay:

mine arrived today, faux leather but fits the Note with PU case. Easily slipped in and out. Looks nice, get compliment and somehow people didn't think the leather case was big, but when I take my phone out, then they think it's big.

When have you seen people who wear their phone in a holster on their belt crying because their screen was scratched by keys or grains of sand in the pocket etc? I referenced your age because as discussed you are still at that age where you care what people think. I have done both with the GNote and wearing it on the belt in a leather holster is much simpler and more comfortable. I can actually use my pockets for other things and not have to worry about my GNote.
Just a preference, neither is right or wrong.

Review: "Grid" exercise armband works with cases!

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.

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.

Pouch idea, but will it work?

The dimensions of this phone are 6.26" x 2.6" x .66" closed. I've been looking for a nice pouch to put it in rather than a case. I didn't find much but came across the idea to adapt a case for a different purpose to housing this phone. With that in mind here is a link to a case for eyeglasses that I think might work, what do you folks think?
https://www.lucrin.com/accessories/...ard-size-glasses-tan-real-ostrich-leather.htm
i bought a pouch for the fold and thats what i expect to use rather than a case.
I have use a microfiber sunglass pouch for my phone even if it has a case and screen protector. Helps keep pocket dust and stuff out and also serves as a cleaning cloth if needed. Been doing it for 6+ years now.
So I'm not Bat feces crazy, or at least not the only one who is bat feces crazy. I'm still sorting stuff out but I expect to be buying a nice high end leather pouch of some kind for this thing, ostrich, croc, etc. When you've spent this much money on a phone why not throw good money after bad?
Problem being when you're putting in or taking out of the pouch; sooner or later you'll fumble and it will tumble.
It's size, frequency of use and lack of sure handgrips almost guarantees it to happen.
Putting a tether on it might help, but a good case is mandatory to protect it.
B&H carries many different pouches and bags, their customer service is second to none. I use cargo and tactical pants to stash my 10+, works pretty well most times but only it's case has saved it from concrete hell.

Too many learned the hard way with the heavy near no bevel Note's when they fall with no case.
One case the owner's dog's tail whacked it off the table to patio oblivion.
Two layered protection systems generally work best ie hard polycarbonate shell with a semi hard urethane liner. Sort of slim pickens but the last two on this list here look promising.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/best-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2-cases/?amp
Eye ball them carefully. You want some screen protection that will also double as false touch guards but not too excessive or it will impede usage.
Be careful that mic and speaker ports aren't covered.
At this price point these phones should have a hard tether point just like a camera...
not everyone is clumsy with smartphones. back in the day i use to use pouches all the time with big ass phones like the hitachi G1000 (google it) , the IBM Simon, and newer phones like the htc one max, and never had issues dropping it. lots of OG fold owners did not use a case on those phones and many had no issues.
sure some people are all thumbs with gadgets and that's why cases were made , but lets not post up that everyone drops phones because everyone don't.
matter of fact, my old school nexus 6 - i used a pouch with it, and still looks great all these years later...
Just a matter of time until fate shows you life isn't fair...
pouch
last couple days i've tried both of these cases and they are fine. i saw a cool looking case in the case thread i just picked up , but for now either of these are good for me.
Lowepro makes good gear. For a bare phone this is probably big enough as their internal dim specs tend to be generous. Belt or holster style mount with double lock velcro tabs that don't fail.

A B&H rep can tell you if it work... they are the best.
I use a shocksock. Works well.

Which model ? I've been wanting to a get a shocksock pouch for my fold 2, but they only make it for the fold 1.
The one for the Fold 1 fits the Fold 2 like a glove. Get that one!

Yes, I'm also using the Shocksock that I bought for my original Fold on the Fold 2 now.
Fitbag, a German pouch, is also very good, but exactly fits the device, so even a thin back cover will make the device circumference too large.

Which make is the second, holster-like pouch?
Used Lowepro gear for over a decade. Holds up well.
You need a belt or horizontal strap to mount this. The double securing velcro fasteners stay put.
B&H... were the pros go. Massive inventory and no bs.

Just got mine, and it really does fit like a glove, looks like it was made for the 2 instead of the 1
I was actually looking for something nice, ie real leather, that sort of thing. I do thank folks for their ideas and responses all the same, I may go to the sock if I cant find a nice ostrich leather or something similar.

When I buy clothes I look for ones the will accommodate the phone and other gear;
BDU pants, and vests with chest pockets etc.
The phone gets it's own pocket... works well.
