Hey guys.
I have this phone with the otterbox case on it and I can't find a running strap that works for me. I like to track my mileage with the gps like I used to do with my droid incredible but I can't with this phone without some kind of strap or something.
Any suggestions?

I used to use an arm strap made for the iPhone with my Eris, and it fit ok... but the TB doesn't even come close to fitting in it.
Has anyone found one that fits the TB good, that's cheap? I got this iPhone one for $2.50 on Amazon. I'd like to find another cheap one.
I don't use a case on my TB, so it won't have to be big enough to accommodate that.
Probably nothing out for TB yet, but have you looked for EVO armbands? Should fit the same.
I found this today on Amazon.com for you.

It fits a few phones including the ThunderBolt.
I've been looking for one of these. Thank you. You said the EVO is similarly shaped?
I bought the Tune Belt for my Fascinate and it fits the TBolt even better.
-doesn't move
-quality
Been on 2 runs w/ TBolt so far and it's been great.
I have a question for anyone who has used an arm strap. Do you find it to be annoying to wear, seeing that the Thunderbolt is so large and heavy? I was thinking of buying one, but I'm not sure if I would like to be running with something so big moving around like that.

Where did you get this combo? Sounds like what I'm looking for...
So i want to buy a GNEX case (GSM, samsung extended battery)
but i was wondering if the gnex cases give any issues with the GPS. Because a friend of mine has an HTC sensation XE. And when he puts his case on his phone, the GPS starts to get really bad.
Does this also happens with the GNEXus?
PS: any case recomendations?
i think if its material is tpu or plastic it is fine just avoid metal case
i have 9 cases and have no problem with any of them on

Hi all,
I don't need an OtterBox official holster, I just need a holster that will fit my SGS2 with an OtterBox shell on it.
I currently have this thing (trying to post picture), but I have no idea what brand it is or where I got it from.
It's faux leather, but I either got it on eBay or some site I google'd... dunno exactly how I got it.
All I know for sure is that it's top-down loading, and the belt clip on it was rotate-able, which was important to me since I hated sitting down with a vertical phone restricting my movement (could rotate 90 degrees for ease of access still!).
Any help on getting a new holster would be much appreciated. After 9 months, this one is definitely starting to give out.
Thanks in advance!
Try Krusell accesories, there should be holster with multidapt. Their quality is the best IMO

Are there any good ones out?
My biggest issue is that I don't use a lock screen, so to change a track I have to be able to pull down notifications and use those controls.
Did you come up with a solution?

I did not, have only been running on treadmills due to this problem.
Also makes lifting weights a pain.

Are you asking about music? Or about devices like JawBoneUP/Nike FuelBand?
I'm asking about arm bands to keep your phone attached to your person and not too far away so that headphones get ripped out.
Ah ok...
I bought a holster/case combo from Verizon that I use daily for exercise. I tried an armband, but this Maxx is huge, so I opted for the holster.
I use this armband which I had for a previous phone and it works well. It is called "Verizon Motorola Droid X MB810 New Sports Armband Pouch" and pretty cheap on eBay.

EDIT.... I don't have enough posts to post pics I guess. Here's an album link.... imgur (DOT) com/a/VeCdz
I carry my phone in my pocket rather than on my arm (and just run the headphone cord inside my shirt to prevent it from being snagged), but I did see this case on androidcentral.com: http://www.shopandroid.com/armpocket-xtreme-i-30/4AA10642.htm

It's says it's for the Galaxy S3, which is within a couple millimeters of this phone in all dimensions.
As someone who doesn't exercise much outside, what is the purpose of an armband? When you're running you can't really use the phones display. You could use long press actions on volume keys I suppose. Why wouldn't you want to just clip it in a Otterbox defender holster on your waist?
Does it bounce around too much?
Does an armband displace weight of the phone better?

Well, here is my opinion...
For one thing, if you have a short headphone cord, having the device as close to your head as possible is useful. Anything that weighs as much as the Maxx will bounce uncomfortable if it's in a clip on your waistband. I generally wear soccer shorts when I run, with the phone in my pocket. The Maxx without a case is just light enough that it will not bounce around. When you put an Otterbox Commuter on it bounces around in the pocket like crazy. I'd imagine that the Defender would be much worse. And running with something on your waist makes it more likely that you'll catch the earphones with your hand/arm while you are running, which can be very bad for the headphones, the jack, or the phone (though you can fix this by running the cord inside your shirt. If you run shirtless, not so much.)
Strapped to your arm? Much more comfortable, plus it's easy to do things like hit the volume buttons with your other hand while you run. And you can let the headphone cord sit behind your back rather than on your side, making it less likely that you'll catch it with your arm.
Here is the armband I bought for my Maxx from Amazon; fits perfectly with my TPU case on it! I run outside with it all the time.
I use the flip belt and have enjoyed it for running and lifting. I got mine almost a year ago now and think it cost around 30$. It holds not only phones/mp3 bit ID cards and keys. Yes if you put too much in then you might get some bounce while running, but this has been the best option I've found for running.
Hey -
I'm looking for a Nexus 5 armband that will fit the device with it's official google case - I want to spare the hassle of taking it out of it's case every time I go out on a run.
Does anybody know any armband as such?
Preferably something off of ebay, with free shipping, good quality and all that jazz .
Thank you!
Niv.
I would like to have an answer to that question too.

Bought this one for my fiance.

It fits with the spiegen crystal shell on it. It's a fairly tight fit but the flap goes over the phone. the front of the armband doesn't stick to the phone's screen protector because i think the case has enough of a lip to keep it from touching too much.

I have the armpocket I-35 and it fits with this case http://www.amazon.com/Maxboost-Prot...9577247&sr=1-1&keywords=nexus+5+maxboost+case
I tried it and found the phone was too big to wear on my arm (I'm short, so my arms are short).
Anyway, I went with a small fanny pack and it works great. Doesn't bounce and is hidden under my shirt.
Although I suck at running and do it mostly on a treadmill since it's winter here and streets are way too hilly. Plus my strained my calf muscle over 2 months ago and it still isn't healed.
I start I'm done now, lol.
