Never thought about purchasing something like that. Let me know how it works out.

id recommend a tight fitting armband that does NOT allow your phone to move. the excess play inside of a fanny bag with be very disruptive and also the phone will bang into your body with every step.

I used something like this when I ran a couple half marathons.

would the s2 fit?

i am not using an armband or anything like that, i am using just a regular bag to put my stuff but i am using a Bluetooth headset which works perfect at the GYM , if you are looking for something to use at the gym, i would recommend this
lg bluetooth stereo headset hbs-700

that's a nice bt

Go with a blue tooth headset... Then you can simply put the phone in a Ziploc bag, drop it into your pocket and run to your heart's content
Ghetto but works great for me. When I cycle I do the same but put the phone in the jersey pocket or on the camel back if I'm wearing it.
Can still use the touch screen through the baggie and the phone stays dry. Cheap and efficient!
Using tapatalk on my Galaxy 2 to post this!

lol never thought about zip lock bag I'll use it when it's gloomy. thanks!

Who removed their "Digital by Qualcomm" sticker

Its on the top left of the device. Just curious because i always forget about this "digital by Qualcomm" sticker until sometimes months of having a device. I just removed it and now i have a matted spot i can't get to shine! Ahhh! Lol I'm sure it'll work itself out tho.
So who likes it, who hates it and who could give a rats a**?

That's funny I must've removed mine too (I usually do on all my phones) but don't remember doing it and don't have any matte, sticky spots on the casing.

I noticed it the day I got my device and removed it

Yeah I typically remove mine the minute they show any lift from the casing, which is usually pretty early on. The few times I waited longer to remove them I did end up with a sticky spot, drove me insane.

Lol I just took mine off last night. I removed my tpu case and saw it starting to pull up so I just took it off. Had the phone since November

Just rubbed vigorously against my polo shirt and poof! Spit-shine perfect! Phew..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I took it off before they sold me the phone..
They were showing it to me as well as the Iphone 4s and i hate stickers on technology so I took them off both phones...haha!!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I removed mine. Stickers annoy me. Just rub the residue off if any is left behind, and you're good to go!

Of course I remove all stickers, for this exact reason, that in a few months down the road, it will look stupid when you remove it.

My phone has lived in various cases since day 1, never noticed it

a little off-topic, but my wifes aunt and uncle always leave the stickers on all there new appliances. They recently bought a couple new flatscreens and refuse to take the stickers off the screens and base of the tvs and it annoys the piss out of me.

I forgot it was even there... Lol

I don't see any sticker at all so I must have taken it off when I got my E4GT in back October.

First thing I did when I got the phone.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Wow can;t say I even remeber one being there. Must have removed it the first day when I got this phone. Bye Bye stickers.

Lol that's so annoying. I hate that so much.
Mine is still on there. No signs of lift or anything. I'm sure it will be gone the second I see it coming off.

Official Samsung book case $40 on Newegg!

I'm just browsing, tooting my on horn on newegg by reading all the positive reviews for this thing when I see this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834989204
The official Samsung book case and its only 40$ shipped..
I hope this hasn't already been posted and hope it helps someone.

They really messed up when making this case . It could have been amazing except for one huge flaw, the flap folds over the back camera. It is impossible to take a picture unless you have 3 hands lol.

Yes it's a design flaw, but one could try to use the camera in portrait mode. It would be kind of awkward though.

Just pulled the trigger and bought this case from newegg. I signed up for the free trial for free 2day shipping from shoprunner so it came out to $37 bucks. Then I went to shoprunner to cancel my free trail before I FORGET to cancel (as well all do from time to time) and they gave me a 90 day free trial where they WON'T bill me after the trial is up! Plus if I use shoprunner three times before the 90 days is up they give me a year FREE!!! Can someone say "WINNING!!!" Lol! Thanks op for posting this! I should be getting the case by Thursday the latest, so i'll come back with pictures!!!

and no magnets holding the cover. The cover will be flapping around if you hold it the wrong way. The earphone cut out maybe useful, but ugly in my personal opinion.

its $35 now...just an update

There's magnets on the back to hold the flap when it's opened and when it's used as a stand. They could not use a closure magnet as there isn't a bezel. I suppose they would have had to design the tablet with a closure magnet in mind like Apple did. Of course then they would be sued.

Exactly my thinking

[ACCESSORY] FlyGrip

for those of you who lovr bigger phones or tablets/e readers...then the FlyGrip is the accessory for you. the FlyGrip goes on the back of your device and allows you to have a firm grip of your device and doubles as a kickstand. check out the site
http://flygrip.com
this is not my company, they have partnered with Me and i am just promoting their product

They are $30 online with free shipping. they come in black, white, green, red, yellow, and much more!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I've seen this and reviews a while back but it's not my cup of tea... Though I can say that for anyone other than past loyal customers $30 is probably too high a price. Cost of materials can't be more than $5-$10. I'm really not trying to be **** either just stating my 2¢
Sent from my Sprint GS3

honestly you're right. $30 is a bit high for an accessory. if i were in charge I'd sell for max $15
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I agree, tis a bit spendy.

yeah exactly. i couldn't agree more @
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

The product isn't worth $30 but they have a patent pending on it. I own one and i have to say, i love using it. I swapped back to my old Incipio Sillicrylic because I was in an environment that need the extra cover. After I got home, i swapped back to the Flygrip right away. I like that it doesn't bulge my phone up all around and i can touch every part of the screen without feeling that i'll slip the phone through my hands and end up in mud/water/concrete. It took me a while to get used to putting my fingers through it. in the end, i'm satisfied.

It's a little steep in price, but I was more than willing to pay for it and might buy another since mine is just slightly large. It is really useful and I get so many comments on it. Plus it's really cool that it doubles as a stand in both landcape and portrait modes. My only regret is that it definitely means it will be inconvenient to do the wireless charging hack and I think it might interfere with Google wallet. In the wireless charging hack the phone must sit flush with the charging pad and it may be the same with using Google wallet to pay via PayPass. I'm still looking into that last one.

yeah that's my only complaint as well and if it interferes with S Beam, etc

I've just tested last night with my girlfriend's S3 and it works perfectly fine. She has the Incipio Sillicrilic case and I had my Flygrip. even though that 1+ cm distance from both phones, i've sent a song and a few pictures successfully.

$29.95.
WOW....... Price is ridiculous. I usually pay for an over priced item now and then for something I am interested in but the price on the FlyGrip is really pushing it. Most defiantly passing on this product!

That was my issue I wasnt sure if NFC still would work. And I dont know if it will stick to my Otter box

the double sided tape is from 3M so it should stick no problem unless the outer shell is soft. but that's going to be pretty thick attaching the flygrip to it. i'm using the flygrip solo and it feels very secure. i haven't dropped my phone(knock on wood).

No offense, but I lol'd when I saw it. I lol'd again when I saw the price.

Hahaha yeah its pretty expensive for an accessory'

I found one on Craigslist for $16 about a month ago. It was an ugly yellow and Flygrip swapped it out for white.

Hey, its not the size its how you use it.

I played with it too. I'm in the process of being hired as a sales rep and yes it does make any 4.5" phone look puny. For some reason the floor model was laggy. Actually they all were. Probably some demo software installed on the phone. But the screen was beautiful and spacious. WANT.

My wife and I are eligible for upgrade at the end of January and I'm torn between the S3 and the Note 2. We are bother getting the same phone. My wife's idea is to get the cheaper of the 2 while I'm all about the tech. I'm leaning towards the S3 though just on principle of making the wife happy.

i love everything about the note 2 but will need to try to see how it fits in my pocket. i wont care how i'll look with that thing against my face when i talk on the phone. which is rare and usually not for long.

Bro just get a cool fanny pack for it

I've had an upgrade burning a hole in my pocket since July and decided to wait for the S4 since the S3 wasn't much of an upgrade. I thought about getting one of these but it is ridiculously huge especially because I use my phone to play my music at the gym 4 days a week. I can't imagine walking around the gym with a small book in my gym shorts.

That phone seems a little large...and im not sure the stylus will be useful to me...specially once i load CM or something on it...wont that stylus become useless with an AOSP rom?
Im eyeing the Optimus G(though i hear it has a locked boot loader which means no roms)..and the Nexus 4...I have to upgrade by dec..Cause a friend is willing to pay 400 for my SII + Mugen battery + case, which covers my remaining balance on this device with my carrier

Lol, its not a bad deal i think. The mugen battery is 100 the phone is still 600 brand new, the case is 35. I may lower it to $300 though for all of it.

I've been lucky enough to play with the note II daily at work and I have to say that the phone is awesome in every sense. Much better than the GS3. I'm very tempted.
