looking for where to put my phone while jogging i have found "arm-bands" which i find annoying... the question is, does a similar accessory exist but that can be strapped to your leg or waist in a similar manner to gun cases for example, but for phones?

Hey! It's an interesting question. I, as far as i'm concerned, do not know about those leg-bands. I don't think they exist. I mean, just think of the forces applied to your phone while jogging; it would eventually break. I hope i helped you somehow.
I have one of those armbands, but rather than have it hooked to my biceps, I actually strap it to my left forearm so I can look at my info when I'm running. (I have it paired to a Zephyr HxM HRM so I can see if my heart rate is too fast or not). it also allows me to switch music tracks easily as well)
Maybe that will help out if you hook it so it's right above the widest part of your forearm.
EDIT: come to think of it: some of these armbands also sell an "extension" band.... i guess if you get 2 or those extensions, you can wrap it around your thigh so it works as a "leg band"?
I guess you are right, but then guns would have a similar problem (jumping out of place or something like that)
But I after looking around a small hip bag might do the job...
I think a hipbag designed for cell phones might be an interesting idea.

when you say hip bag.. you mean fanny pack right? if so, you can get those anywhere.. although they tend to be... conspicuous and very gaudy in many cases..

I used to use a Nike Wrist Coach with my Sensation. It's one of those playcard forearm sleeves that quarterbacks wear that has the plays on them. It work pretty well for jogging; I would have My Tracks and Play Music running and I could glance it my phone to check my pace, distance and change songs. I could even use voice to text to send messages.
Then I lost my Sensation in a cab.
You might want to go to a sporting goods and check it out. The GS3 is much thinner than the Sensation, so it might work.

I am looking for a Armband for my EVO. I would like to find one that allows me to view the screen while it is in the band. I got one from Ebay that came from Hong Kong that says it will work for the phone but it is tight (so tight is causes signal loss) on the phone and only can view 2/3 of screen. If anyone out there has gotten one or seen one please let me know.

I am not sure how being tight would cause signal loss unless your seeing the signal loss while it is strapped to you arm, in which case it is your arm, not the case.
As for your question, have not seen any yet, my wife sews like crazy so when I need something like that I just ask her for it lol.

Yeah, it cause signal loss in the wireless network and the GPS. even if it is not on my arm. A friend says it being tight would cause a pinch on the chip. To much pressure on the screen it what he says. He is a electronic engineer too. So i would believe him.
Your friend is wrong. The chip for wifi and cell is on the back of the board away from the screen. At most it may be signal attenuation due to a material in the case.
To show I am not talking out my ass here.

As you can see the chips are on the back of the board.

Which part?
the reception thing sounds crazy
i use an arm band for an ipod touch that is a "stretchy/spongy" material and i can still see the phone and change songs through the thick plastic coating on the front. I sweat ALOT too and still never had water damage after 45 min+ runs
its very similar to this one but an older model i think(had it for years for my 1st gen zune). Just stretch it out lol

Coming from the child carrying a 5.3inch phone...
You're an effing idiot...you know that?
1. Its not that big at all.
2. Do you just throw all your junk into a bag while traveling and hope it doesn't break?
3. You're still an idiot
This is what the wife's purse is for.
I really can't find any reason to carry this for. To each there own I guess

Lol, you tool, I think it's a great little bag. Currently I just have an old bag I shove everything into and hope for the best. Personally, I think it could be really helpful to have stored in your backpack or pack for traveling, like they said. Not necessarily to just carry around every day all by itself.

I'm a bachelor. And I don't carry it. It goes in any bag I travel with.
I just found this new dock. It looks neat and cool. It should fit the S3 just fine.

There are 51 reviews, average of 3 out of 5 stars.
As a previous owner of the dock, I recommend staying away. As you can probably tell by the pictures, the dock is unstable and tips easily. But to make it worse, they only put a rubber grip on the back but not the front, leading to a lot of sliding around. Not to mention the rather high price tag. Avoid if you want an actual functional dock.

Yeah I was wondering about stability when I came across it a while back... Plus (at least in the UK) the only available colours I saw at the time were black or white

Only I prefer a universal one now, who will also work with a (alu) case.

I saw this yesterday when I pulled into a parking lot. I wanted to get right up to their window and take a better picture but I didn't want them to be watching me from the restaraunt and think I was plotting a break in with their vehicle.
It might be hard to see with all the reflections, but it is a vent phone holder WITH A CORDED PHONE RECEIVER! I have never seen anything like this before.

Looks to me like it's a gag. I've seen quite a few corded car phones, especially in older cars... but I've never seen something like this : -)

I can't decide. Is this post more funny or more disturbing?

Probably for better reception. I've never seen one that big though.
I suspect that it's either one of those Bluetooth handsets that looks like an old phone, only this one has a cord on it, or, more likely, one of those old phone looking handsets that plugs into the headset jack of the phone.
Walmart sells the latter for about $7.
LOL..
it was probably this guy...

Seen them around here too.. mostly Hipsters... Phone and the portable record players..
You too can own one for less than 20 bucks.. http://goo.gl/bXq61 .. that is if you don't mind people making fun of you.
You can pickup an old style handset with a 3.5mm plug on it many places.
Heck, some Walgreens have them.
Hard to see from your picture, but here is a possible....http://www.shopandroid.com/cartel-ct-1000-car-kit/3AA6027.htm

what DOES your mom think of it? pretty bodacious? lol, kidding
hows the sound clarity?
Got it today. Feels good, hugs the phone nicely and doesn't feel too bulky. Only thing is power button Is a little deep. Other than that it's good.

not bad in my opinion. we will see what happens with time. favorite case so far.
I have this one too. Use it as a daily driver for 10 days or so on my Sprint V20. I like the idea of emergency credit card and copy of my driving license are always being handy and hidden inside of this case. I see folks complaining about inconvenient cutout for fingerprint scanner or something. IMO, it couldn't be any more comfortable, I don't recall having a single reject from it, works flawlessly and superfast! The only con that Tridea's case is slightly bulky and being in combo with enormous phone is quite a task to manage single-handed operations! I might search for something skinnier (and may be with card compartment on a back) later on, as phone has basic drop-protection itself!
