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.

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.

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.

Where did you order it from?
Ignore this, I found your link

Is there a way to buy a normal armband for Note (i need it for running), not an aquapac armband ?

Case that will work with Dock and Car Dock

Just bought my G-Nex and I'm looking for a case that will work with the extended battery and will either be very easy to take off or can fit in a desk dock and a car dock.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm leaning toward the ghost armors. I just want the corners protected from drops really. Not sure how well ghost armors work when dropped on concrete from 3-4ft (like it fell out of your hand).

Thanks for the info. I'm not a fan of screen protectors for hardened glass, but I could use the other parts and skip the screen protector. I agree about the dropping it from 3-4 ft onto concrete. I don't know if you've noticed, but the G-Nex reallly is slippery, which is why I want a case. The darn thing just slips out of my huge hands all the time. Frankly I wish it was a little thicker. This always thinner nonsense drive me crazy. I'm having trouble holding on to mine it is so thin!
Thanks again for the ideas.

First find a dock and car dock that can be purchased...

dont have this, but i'd assume the case mate tough case would since it has cutouts for the dock connector(the gold . . . ) on the side
i believe they have pulled it till January though as they have to fix the size of the usb hole(like with the pop case)

i seriously doubt that ANY case will work with the docks.
the docks are normally molded to fit the phone perfectly in the same that it is, adding even 1mm around the phone can make it not fit.
the case i bought has the holes, but honestly i don't think theres a chance in hell of it fitting in the car dock in the case.
the Nexus One had these custom docks, and it was the same thing, you couldn't have any case on the phone for it to fit in any of the docks.
now, things like the invisible shield work just fine (usually) because they don't add any significant bulk to the device.

I know Seido used to make some, but I wasn't satisfied with the support I got from them, so I won't be doing business with them again. I kind of figured that might be the case (no pun intended) but hoped someone else might make one.
Thanks.

Belt pouch

I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

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.

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:

Just got my Sena Ultra Slim case

As the thread title says, it just came in. Just put it on the phone and, no surprise, it's awesome. My phone is the Verizon LTE version with an extended battery and it fits perfectly (sure, it's a tight fit, but that's normal for Sena's stuff and will get easier to remove/replace as the leather molds to the phone). I'll put some pics up later when I can locate the regular digital camera.

I have had the opposite experience. I have a GSM nexus and the case is far too tight. The power and volume buttons are frequently pressed causing pocket screen shots and unnecessary ware on the buttons. I have had the case for just over a week and while it has stretched its still causing problems.
The best slip case so far has been a microfiber bag intended for my sunglasses. Although its not as pretty as the sena.

One thing I have done to help the cases stretch is reach inside and spread it out. I did it by putting an old 2.5" laptop hard drive in the case.

Is it a pouch?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Got mine too. I have the GSM version and I have to agree, the fit is too tight.

I considered the Sena Ultra Slim too in my search for a nice and slim pouch but ultimately decided on the fitBag Beat.
It's not "super" slim as the Sena is but still slim. Have a look here if you are interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454961

I love Sena ultra slim case. I had them on my HTC Desire, iPad 1 and iPad 2.
They are really tight in the beginning. But since they are leather, they stretch. After a week or two you should find them fitting snugly, but not too tight. As far as leather quality is concern, they are top notch.
That being said, I just don't feel like using a pouch on my phone anymore. But if I were to get one, this is definitely my choice.

Anyone else wishing there were thousands of tiny holes where the notification light sits (not to mention near the ringer speaker!) ?
Maybe I can mod mine with a needle and some patience...

I was thinking of punching a hole in it for the notification light.
I am still waiting to buy one here in the UK, anybody know anywhere I can get one from?

Just go to Sena's homepage and order it! You will have it in 2 or 3 working days. Really fast delivery! But I would buy another case since it presses down the volume and power buttons all the time. I have tried to stretch the case a lot, but since the seaming is on the inside the problem still remains occasionally...

I find this happening less and less as I use the case, without even doing any deliberate stretching beyond leaving the phone in the pouch for hours at a time.
This thing is great for my battery life too as knowing I will need to remove the case helps me resist the urge to wake it up just to flip the home screens back and forth

The case is really tight at first but after a day it has stretched out quite nicely and it is a very comfortable fit, no issues with power button anymore.
Super slim, love it!

nicely done, I don't have my case yet but I would have thought the handset is supposed to go into the case thin side first?

Sena Corsa
Hey guys! New here.
So I was about to buy the Ultraslim when much to my surprise I found a new case waiting for me! The ultraslim is now gone but the new design is much more appealing to me. Can't post links since I'm new, but it should be easy to find!
I'm hoping they fixed the tight fit problems. I might send a quick email to them asking about this.

Some info from the website:
The Corsa shows its style by exhibiting textured genuine Italian leather available in various solid colors with an accent stripe which is off-set for a racing inspired sportiness. It offers an innovative pull strap system for easy release of the Galaxy Nexus. It is crafted to protect the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with reinforced stitched edging to provide additional protection for the side and bottom of the pouch. It is individually handcrafted from the finest Italian Napa leather with Sena's well-known quality and strong attention to detail. The Corsa offers protective functionality with a sporty European designer pouch style.

Any open top pour with elastic on side

I'm looking for a pouch/slip style case for the S3. It is an open top type with elastic on the side.
I just want a case like this for when its in my pocket at work to protect the screen.
I am going to buy the official Samsung S3 flip case when it comes out as well. In general I hate cases as they make phones so slim, and then bulky cases go on them.
I like the look of the S3 whereby if the back gets scratched you can replace anyway. I prefer to use the phone naked, but when in my pocket I want it in a slip case oe pouch.
I don't want one of these pull tab pouches, last one I had stained the screen on a phone I had.
btw I'm in UK, so online, shop, eBay etc is fine
cheers

Sort of, but there was a case before I had (trying to find a pic) that was more open on the sides and had elastic on the sides. Sort of like the Blackberry case you get, where they just slide in, and are quite sturdy to protect the screen. I prefer to use my phone naked when in use
I can find a lot of sock type pouches, this one I'm after was a little more solid to protect the screen

after looking all day, think I've found one, not sure its exactly what Im looking for from the pictures though, was £8 so will see..

Well received that one, but its ridiculously too big. the height is fine but its not thin enough for the phone. it just slips straight out, about twice too thivk for it.
Anyone know of another one like this please?
