Dear all,
i m searching for so long about the accessories for my samsung galaxy s2 jogging arm band at malaysia, any idea where to buy this? any recommended online shop?
ebay if you cant find something near home
Are you sure you really want your beloved fone bouncing about with all that hardware inside?
I know two people that had a motorbike/mtb bike bracket that mounted the fone on the bars, both fones were murdered by normal day to day riding. They can't handle the shock/vibrations

Hi guys,
ive found some bike mounts for the s2, but none of them looked solid enough to be ready for my mountainbike.
The phone should be completely covered by plastic, plexiglass or another material solid enough to survive light blows, dirt and light rain, and it should not fall of after passing the first curb.
Any suggestions?
i´ve seen mountainbike mounts for other mobile devices wich could work perfectly for the SGS II, maybe you shouldn´t look for a specific mount for the SGSII, just look for a mountainbike mount for a mobile device with a similar size as the SGS II.
Another interested here ^^ When i got the phone in a few weeks, i´ll look for that mount too.
Be very careful.
If you are MTBing versus riding on the road. The vibrations are too harsh and cause issues with the internal connectors.
I personally have lost a garmin GPS and my HTC Polaris phones. First ride and within 15 mins started rebooting etc. Garmin stated to reboot with just fine knocks.
Warned a mate when he was mounting a iphone, decided to risk it and 5 mins his touchscreen failed. Another mate his iphone started to reboot.
this may be ok... :

I bought one but still waiting for delivery
Agaryt, please report when you test it. I'm rally curious if this will do the job.
no problem
I should have it before Thursday , so no late than Monday I let you know how does it work
Very interested too!
Looks exactly like what I was looking for, looking forward to hands-on report.
I was thinking about buying this one:

but one found by agaryt looks better, although it is bit more expensive.
Was biking the other day and wondering this very thing, however...

...this post does worry me. Biking can lead to very sharp knocks while riding along the trails, and even a phone in a lined case would be at risk.
Normal city and tour riding would likely be fine... but proper mountain biking? The potential something to be concerned about imo.
The one agaryt linked to on Ebay does look great though... if I was to get one out of that one and the one posted on Amazon i'd definitely spend the measly few pounds extra and get that one.
im also quite worried about vibration on the bike even without any connector.
i'd much rather have something to snap the phone on my (inner, up, to protect it) arm for example. you can see still the track etc quite easily (not as easily as if its mounted on the bike, but much better than in the pocket..)
I think ill buy one of the allready mentioned universal mounts where the s2 is put into a "bag" (the one from ebay looks great).
As there is no solid connection between handlebar and s2, i don`t think that those fine vibrations are a problem. Maybe theres even enough space in the bag to add some extra, soft material to absorb vibrations.
Also i think that the phone is safer on the bikes handlebar than on my arm, as i landed in hospital twice while my bike was undamaged ^^
Hmm, I would be a little nervous about the connector from the case to the mount.
Also, I assume you can feed a charging cable in where the two zips meet?
I would love to be able to use my phone on my bike and do away with my seperate SatNav. After a mount I would just need a bluetooth helmet!
Have you looked into these? I have universal mount for my iPhone and works perfectly.

Hello
Do you remember it ?
for_bike
I've got it for couple day now .
I have to say , It is really waterproof , I don't mean you can swim with it but I was running when rain and my galaxy was safe . After finish was totally dry ... That the most important for me .The problem is when you want to use headphones . There no hole for it . But to be honest if you biking better option is bluetooh headphones anyway . Quality is really well .
I took some pictures for everybody.
Any questions just let me know .

Thanks for the update Gary.I have to say that I wouldn't want to use my S2 in the front of either my road or mountain bike even if these holders do look fairly secure.
I have a Garmin 705 which is a dedicated unit for cycling. Routing is way easier to sort out and I also get helpful stats such as cadence and HR too. A bluetooth HR monitor is quite expensive for what it is.

this looks good
orderd one
i made a mountenbike trip last week from 400 km in 4 days
and i whas using a universal bike holder but the weather was dry and sunny.
i used Osmand to navigate and its realy great i think its the best app for the bike.
The bad thing whas my battery (only 4 hours of navigation)
so i need a 3500mah or more battery for a minimum of 8 hours navigation.
Thanks Agaryt!
Few questions:
1. Is the screen remains visible under the cover?
2. Can you use the touch screen?
3. What about the vibrations during the ride? Is the phone OK inside?
Some general advice from someone who used a mount with his old SGS1:
Most of these mounts have a mounting part that is attached to the bike and then some kind of click-lock system to hold the actual device in place. If so, then that is a very important weak point that you will want to look out for! These point can get loose and will sling your phone into the air if you don't secure them additionally with some straps or whatever fits your specific holder.
My I9000 had to experience that several times (albeit with no permanent damage outside of scratches) and this was not on something as wild as a MTB but something as "smooth" as a racing bike (on flat asphalt, although you need some kind of bump to make the phone fly off)

Hello .
Screen is visible very well and touch screen works more than good . Honestly I didn't ride with it yet . I was running twice so far included once when rain and both times phone was dry after .
I used two different arm band for my galaxy and galaxy 2 but nothing protected as good as this one . I mean protection against damp (sweat ) or rain .

Hey guys,
First time poster here!
Got my galaxy s2 last week and was wondering if there are any gym-related accessories for the phone, preferably not arm bands cos i find them too uncomfortable when lifting weights (I do weight training mostly so my phone is usually in my pockets).
Was wondering if there's some form of sweat resistant cover for the phone or anything else which I should look out for.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Cheers =)
So is there any good running equipment for the SGS2?
I was thinking of maybe an arm or leg attachement or maybe some kind of belt around the waist...?
I'm completely unfamiliar with what is out there but it should be something that is fixed so the phone won't bounce around whilst running fast...
Any suggestions? I've searched the forum but couldn't find any related threads...
I know for sure that there is an arm gadget

And where would you have seen that one?
Bought this case for outdoor activities on ebay -
Sport Armband Jogging Case For Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100
It didn't fit well, maybe my arm too small and the phone is too wide. I don't use it.
Ran a marathon with a phone in a pocket of my shorts.
Well yeah but the SGS2 is quite big to carry arround in your pocket running

This phone is not for jogging, at least thats my view... When I go running long distances (>15 km) I use a smaller/simple phone (with a prepaid card) which fits perfectly in a belt. It is only for emergencies..
Cost me about 30 euros and is much better than buying a armband. With my previous smaller android phone I used the Belkin armband which was always cutting into my arm when bending my arm.
Running with the i9100
I think its fine for running if you've got the right equipment, I use gps tracker with this armband, it fits well, but you do need fairly long upper arms to deal with it.
I'd say if you are 6ft or above and you will be fine with this on your arm, has reflective strip as well.
If you go to play and type in sports armband i9100 you should come up with the emartbuy soft velvet armband. (unable to post link as Im a new member)
£7.99 at time of posting.
Hope this helps.
Has anyone had any experiences running/jogging with the Note 2? I was going to post this in the accessories forum, but wasn't just looking for a good arm band, but also some experiences and tips.
I have the Nike+ App and the Zombie running app that I really want to try, but can't see how carrying my Note 2 around is going to be suitable.
Thanks
I've never ran with a phone but I would have to guess running with the note 2 is a bad idea. I am fixing to start riding my bike soon and I am thinking it will not be such a good idea on handlebars either. Unless you have hulk hogan pythons. Lol.

Ive tried it with an armband and the weight of the phone means it just slides down or the velcro eventually comes undone. I use blue tooth headphones now and put the phone in a waist holder

I think it would be uncomfortable and tbh I wouldnt trust many straps to hold a heavy phone like the N2. For piece of mind I just got a cheap 20euro 6gb mp3 player. No display and no light but does the job. When im working it is the only time I dont want modern technology around me
I have run with the Note2 in my hand. No probs at all...
Waist pack and headphones. Nathan makes some good packs.

I run with the Note 2 in cycling Tshirt with rear spare places. I put it in rear pocket in a plastic bag (for the sweat) and it is all right !!

Hey Guys
I'm going away to Malta soon (lucky me) :highfive: and I wanted to invest in a tablet bag to carry my stuff onto the plane with me and when I go walking around Valletta sight seeing.
Looking on Amazon I haven't found a decent case that claims to fit up to more than 10.1" tablets, I also have the Samsung Book Cover on my tablet which would add a bit extra bulk. I also want it to carry my phone Nexus 6, 1 Charger for the Tab S, A quite hefty battery pack, Six Axis Controller (for my gaming on the go ), Very small bluetooth keyboard and mouse and lastly some extra cables like USB OTG etc...
The best one I have found so far is this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/messenger-t...TF8&qid=1437638802&sr=8-5&keywords=tablet+bag
I also found a review that said it fitted someone else's Tab S. Though I'm worried as mine has the Book cover on it. I don't want it to be a big bag like a laptop one as I'll be walking around with it a lot.
Could you give me recommendations on tablets bags and which one's you guys use? Or if you have the bag in question could you tell me if it'd fit with the Book cover on it?
Any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

I've always been fond of The North Face and currently use a Surge II backpack. It has way too many pockets for storage, and it has a protective tablet pocket that perfectly fits the 10.5s with Samsung book cover. It also has this as a separate compartment that you can add a small lock if you wish...... These bags are pricey but should last you the rest of your life.

Cheers mate. Do you have a link for the bags?
Well you can go to the Northface website to see the various styles then find a place to purchase. I bought mine from a online vendor here in the US. You can save some money by getting a previous version (they release new colors and patterns every year and the old bags get discounted) but i couldn't recommend the brand enough.
