Armband holster for the gym - Galaxy S III Accessories

Can anyone suggest an armband holster for the gym? The pocket is less than ideal.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I posted the link to the grey / blue Belkin one towards the end of this thread, and really like it!

If your at the gym just get the Samsung HS3000, bluetooth stereo adapter..works really well sound quality is good too! Just leave your phone in a gym bag so you don't have to worry about your phone falling or getting crushed..

I used this for my Galaxy S1:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...=1343186933&sr=8-5&keywords=Galaxy+S3+armband
I hated it! You can't press the buttons very well. The plastic bubbles up, making swiping hard. The cut-outs don't work well.
I avoided the Belkin because it looks like more of the same -- hard to use. And $20 too.
I bought these two from eBay (pictures attached):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/33076460537...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_6088wt_1163
http://www.ebay.com/itm/26107246592...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_500wt_1413
The 1st one is the one I truly wanted. I wanted something that will hold the device securely but will let me use all the features and buttons.
I'll let you know how secure it is when I get it. The picture looks loose, but I figure then I can use it with my Diztronic case and it should fit snug (Bonus!).
I got the 2nd one because it looked nice for running when it's sprinkling. Water + device = bad.

ATT stores carry this http://www.alternativewireless.com/nxe-activesleeves-phone-cases-large.html
Comes as a pack of 2 for 30 bucks, the XL size fits the GS3 pretty good. I have a 17" bicep and it isn't as snug as I would like, but when I am in the gym they are a little over 18" so it fits great. And when I run my arms are usually up and flexing often so it stays snug then too. Just sitting at my desk it doesn't work as good lol.
Its neprene or something and super stretchy so you could probably fit the phone into a smaller size.

I got this one in the mail.
Unfortunately the phone fits very tightly. The case keeps mashing the buttons when it's in the case.
My friend ordered one and said his is fine. If you order off eBay, might want to get 2-3 direct from China and use the best one.
Also, don't order unless you have fairly thick biceps. I don't have would I would consider super-thin biceps, about 13-14 inches, but this thing is definitely designed for someone with a 16+ inch bicep.

Platinum Series Case for HTC EVO 4G from Best Buy - $30

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...199186619&skuId=9943616&st=evo case&cp=1&lp=1
That is the case I got from Best Buy today. I compared it to the silicone one they had for $21 but I ended up with this one because it seems more durable and if you lay the phone on the screen the case lifts the screen off the surface its laying on to help protect the screen as well.
I think $32 out the door was a little pricey, but to protect my new phone it is definitely worth it.
They were sold out by the time I got there. I really wanted the one with the clip. Can't find them now. They are made by Seido from what I am hearing which they sell for $49.99 so it's a pretty good deal and solid imo.
can we get some pics? the product wasn't displayed good on there site
it's a great case. The insides are felt lined & padded. Also I had no problem slipping it in w/ the invisashield. The back of the case goes slightly past the camera lens so the phone isn't laying on it. Then there is a very small lip on the front to keep the screen from resting on a surface. A pretty solid case to use for now until more people start manufacturing for in. Hopefully serpent cases make something for this

its literally the same as the seido case that someone else posted a topic about. look at that topic and thres pictures and in the general section someone posted a video review of the seido case.
the best buy platinum case is just a re-branded seido case.
I had purchased it because a sales rep told me it was a part of the $30 bundle with the car charger and invisible shield. At the register it turns out that the rep gave me the wrong case and I bought it anyways. Early today I got my max coverage Invisible Shield installed and returned that case along with the Shield they had sold me.
The case is decent looking, definitely much better than most of the cases out now. I hope this phone gets the kind of variety in accessories that the iPhone does.

I think this specific case is different unless the picture Best Buy is using is incorrect. The cut outs are different. Also, Seidio themselves said in another forum that Best Buy has a Platinum Series case not made by them.
If the OP can post some pics we'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
There are two different Platinum Series case designs for the EVO @ Best Buy sold 3 different ways. The have the Seidio style horizontal split by itself, Seidio style with holster, and one styled like the Bodyglove case (vertical split). I picked up the Bodyglove style case - it's "rubberized" all the way around and felt lined inside.
:S thats expensive why dint you go to sprint? the body glove for the evo looks awesome I saw it at best buy and i dint like the back cover while the one in sprint i was and it was like 24 dollars.. and online its 19.99

bsim85 posted a tiny pic, but here are some large ones:
It's OK. I've still got the original "screen protector" on my phone because I haven't tried it at work (I'm not going to open the Invisible Shield or 16GB memory card I bought until I verify the phone works everywhere I need it to, but the case comes in a resealable package so no worries there).
The back of the case is hard and has felt lining inside. The front part of the case (it splits around the edge of the device like the Body Glove) is more rubbery. It comes apart the same was as the Body Glove, with a coin in a corner slot. The camera lens is recessed a couple of millimeters from the edge of the case. When on it's back the case rests not on the overall rubberized surface but on the smooth edges of the case around the camera opening and the bottom ports so it could still slide around in your car this way. Will I keep it long term? Probably not. Will it suffice until something better comes along? Yes.
EDIT...
I should note that the case doesn't look as blue-grey in real life as it does in the pictures.
I bought the case at Best Buy and it's great. Radioshack had Zaggs for $15 plus the 20% off accessories if you got it in the morning. I got the case at Best Buy and it's excellent. A bit pricey, but one of the better cases I've seen. Plus the silicon cases sometimes get caught up in your pocket and harder to pull out.

Is this A EVO case?
cause it seems to have more cut outs in the side pic than the EVO has buttons on the side.
yeah, i went to BB on friday and there was a sign showing that the Platinum case, the invisashield screen protector, and a rocket dog car charger were on sale all together for $45.
the case is overall is very nice, i like how the screen is recessed and how the case does not get stuck in your pocket like a silicone case does.
i think it was a good deal for the money, seeing as how i needed car charger because the hero uses a mini usb port.

I bought one from BB (with holster for $34.99 (giftcard)), and it def doesn't look like that. Mine's a much more rubbery look / feel. It's black. The cut-out's on yours seem much more prominent and I don't have one on the lower right side (why is one even there? just the phone volume on the upper part of the right side...).

I got slider case instead of the snap case. Reason being if you drop your phone on a corner, the slider case isn't going to split open like an egg leaving the yolk (EVO) splattered on the ground.

I dont know what Seidio is trying to pull but on the inside of the fake phone cutout (on the Platinum) it clearly states Seidio, Inc, Houston Texas.
Plus, I ordered a Innocase II and compared the two side by side. They are identical. Save you cash and buy the Platinum.

As I stated previously there are (2) different case designs from Best Buy - one like the Seidio Innocase and one like the Body Glove. The one I pictured is indeed for the EVO (it came with a "fake" cardboard EVO inserted in it). The "extra" port cutout you're seeing is how you take it off the phone - you insert a coin and twist it to pop the two halves apart (JUST like the Body Glove case).

Cheap case looks and works pretty good.

I ordered this case for my wife:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SILVER-BLACK-FL...461939?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4156763633
It came in and it fits perfectly, its slightly rubberized feeling so its grippy and its slim. I tested it and it works in a pocket without sticking to the pocket liner.
The nicest thing I like is that the graphics are several layers deep, giving it an interesting depth to it. Ill try to take some pics with my Tbolt of her Tbolt in the case.
Not bad for 6 bucks. The only drawback I noticed but she does not care about is that some of the graphics of the front and back piece do not line up perfectly on the seam.
I also ordered her another similar case but more flowery. Ill post when that comes in.
I bought a solid black one from the same seller. It is a nice case for the price. Looks good and appears to be good quality. Only time will tell if it begins to peel.
Here's a few pictures of the case.
im so torn over whether to use a case on this or not. if it had gorilla glass i wouldnt care.
Being a 2 piece case, how well does it hold together from a fall? If it landed on its edge is it going to pop open?
Hard to tell. I don't want to drop it and test it for obvious reasons.
But it does snap together pretty well and its not terribly easy to open it back up and take it off.
Here are a few pictures of the second case I ordered for her from Amazon. This one looks even better than the other. And it snaps the same, front/back, but it feels a little less sturdy. It does not snap as strongly as the other.
possible to get a pic of the two pieces separately?
how is the power button? easy to push?
Which "finish'' are these cases? I see there are a different ones listed.

Here are two pics of the two pieces of the case.
Power button opening is quite large so my entire thumb pad fits well and the button is not obstructed at all.
I have no idea on name for finish, they are rubberized plastic. So they are grippy on the outside and won't slip. But they are smooth plastic on the inside. Also, its not grippy to where it clings to pocket liners, its fine in my jeans and in my khakis and suit for work.
I just need to find one I like for myself now. Maybe something like this:

or this:

Also, some people praise TPU cases, what s TPU? Plastic or the jelly kind?
man that case on ebay is vibrant! I went for the hard/rubberized case from the same seller. figure if i dont like it or it beaks after a few months im only out 6$
as long as it can stand falling off my lap when i stand up im good.

Very nice case indeed
TPU (or Thermoplastic polyurethane) is like silicone, except much sturdier and glossier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_polyurethane
I got the shell/holster combo from VZW and I love it. It is slim and grippy.
Ordered my case yesterday. Got it today. That person don't mess around. Damn good case for the price too. I got the rubberized black one. Had to graba Sharpe and mark the inside edges black, cause they were showing white when clipped together.
This thing will stay together for a few falls. Can't beat it for this price.
Sent via bits and bytes
Cool. Can you take some pictures? I went ahead and got the dark red/burgundy one. Ill get the arty/colorful one when it drops in price a tad.
1st complaint
I removed the case for the first time today. I used a penny in the access slot on te side and it chipped away some of the black. I had to use a sharpie to fill it in so it wouldnt be so obvious.

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

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:

Running/Exercise Bands

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.

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.

Official Google Nexus 5 Bumper (semi-review?)

When I ordered my official Google Nexus 5 Bumper in Red I was more than excited to have an official case I knew I wouldn't have any problems with.
Upon opening I loved it. The red bumper on my Nexus 5 looked fantastic! I was thrilled that I was going to be carrying it around now.
First:
It fits perfectly with the buttons on the sides as well as cutouts for speakers and buttons. There's no doubt about it, although the buttons may be a a little harder to push at first, due to the case's button popouts being rigid, you can quickly get used to this and it isn't a real problem. The cutout for the speakers don't seem to limit the sound at all, so that was all good. And the cutout for the charging port fits most chargers without any issue. I only had an issue with one of my cables that has a huge plastic piece around the micro USB metal piece, but it wasn't made for the Nexus 5 so it doesn't really affect my opinion of the cutout. Plus it works with wireless charging, so that's a plus. The cutout for the headphone jack fit all my headphones perfectly, even ones with the L-shaped jack, so I was happy with that as well.
Other than that, I loved the relatively slim design of the case as well as the nexus logo on the back. I can noticeably feel the case's added width when I take it off, but it isn't a huge difference like many other cases may add. So it keeps the device still relatively slim.
BUT I WAS DISAPPOINTED after I put it on and started assessing the actual fit. I thought it would be a harder material. Although it "snapped" on perfectly, the case was loose around the top and bottom.
On the top:
The case could be pushed in, to where it would make a sound from rubbing on the Nexus 5. I adjusted the case and put it on again but nothing. It almost felt like the cheaper silicon cases bought for devices that eventually warp and don't fit properly. This is extremely annoying (at least for me) because I expected the case to be a perfect fit on the top and bottom without me being able to push parts of the case and have them move, or make a rubbing sound.
On the bottom:
The same thing occurred. The small piece of rubber above the charging port (closest to screen) is very flimsy. I noticed wear from two days of use. This involved taking it out and putting it in my pocket. My pants aren't tight so it wasn't a squeeze. It came from me grabbing the case right above this small piece of rubber and pulling it out. As with the top, I can push this piece of rubber pretty easily and have it move in and out (or up and down, however you want to say it). It seems it will continue to get looser until it is warped a bit.
Overall:
I was disappointed with the case. I contacted Google and as per their return policy they offered a refund without returning or swapping the case. The top and bottom "mis"-fits really killed the excitement for the case. With the top being able to be pushed in AND making a rubbing sound, it irritated the crap out of me. And with the bottom rubber piece over the charging port being flimsy and possibly warping JUST from everyday use of the case, I can't love the case like I wanted.
Last thing:
Anyone else have this issue? Or any other issues? When I read and watched multiple reviews, none of them seemed to show all of the bad things I found with my case. So part of me thinks it may be just mine. I am considering ordering another with the refund offer but I am hesitant to spend money on another and have the same results.
I use the official bumper case for my 5 in the really dark grey/black color. I really like this case. I didn't pay full price for it so that might be why I don't mind it as much.
I do not have any loose areas anywhere on mine and fits very snug.
I seem to be in the minority here as I really like using this case. It's simple, slim, feels good, fits nicely, it's everything I need and want in a case. I'm extremely cautious with my phones and would never be caught with an otterbox or any other humongous case. For me slim and simple is the way to go.

Sorry to hear you encountered some problems with yours.

same here. it works perfectly with my phone too. no loose top or bottom areas here. i don't know about slim but it is handy and gives a good grip. also the charging point rubber you talked about? for me it's a bit tight fit for the charging pin but it just gives way when pushed with a bit of presssure and comes back when pin is removed. otherwise no problems for me with this case and i'm pretty satisfied.

I use the official bumper case for my 5 in the really dark grey/black color. I really like this case. I didn't pay full price for it so that might be why I don't mind it as much.
I do not have any loose areas anywhere on mine and fits very snug.

Where did you get it ?
I saw a video about the replica bumper cases from China and decided to get a couple of them. They said the quality was identical to the ones from Google. Plus, it was only $20 for 2 cases. When I get them, I'll post here with a mini review.

Here's a youtube video of the replica case. Looks good to me. Btw, just search ebay for the cases.

Can I buy from eBay with something other than PayPal ?

Do you want me to hold your hand? Figure it out.
I would buy this, if the peeling issue wouldn't be present.. how is your opinion?

I haven't received them yet. Will let you know as soon as I get them. Shipping from China takes a while.
I got a red one about 3 weeks ago.
It started peeling (sort of) at the corners within 10 days, black material was showing up.
Upon removing the case, I discovered that it left long marks on the rubbery back of the black Nexus 5, along the ridges of the bumper.
Thats when I decided to sell it off.
Simply put, it looks awesome, fits awesome, but as a product, its bad, and not at all worth the money.
Atleast those marks are slowly dissappearing (Trust me, those arent dust or something)
