Looking to start running outside and wanted to use my phone to keep track of stats and listen to music.
Anyone have suggestions on good armbands?

Subbing for info, I haven't found one that fits worth a **** yet..

The best arm band I have been able to find (sorry i dont remember the brand, i lost it a little while ago) was for an HTC phone, one that came out around the same time as the GS2. I found it fit the best when the phone was in its case (a TPU cover). I was able to use that one quite well for a time.
This is the one I bought and it's adjustable and very sturdy

I came here to post this same one. I have purchased a few, my wife is a marathon runner, and she has the old one as a backup. She recently misplaced the one in this link and had to use the back up one for almost a month. She very much missed the comfort of the band linked, compared to both backups we have. She says the armband in the one linked is softer and does not feel like its digging into her arm.
So thumbs up to the one posted here.

I've been trying to find an armband for my droidx for working out but i can't find one anywhere so i figured id just use an evo armband but i couldn't find any for that. Anyone know where i could find something? Or is there just no love for big phone users that workout?

I'm grabbing one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sport-Armband-H...Accessories&hash=item20b24ef295#ht_1414wt_911
because the price is right, once it ships in i'll report and how well it works
I picked up this last weekend. Got it in the other day. I haven't gotten to "use" it yet but i have put it on and everything. Has snug fit and can still use the screen easily. it does cover the 4 buttons on the bottom though. overall good for the price. beats the $40 dollars i spent on one for my iphone a year ago
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370408218322&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
See i saw a lot of those and didn't go for it because it shows the orginal droid and I figured the size would be way to far off to fit and x in there. Is it the same one in the picture for the droid?
Just got it yesterday, little disappointed that the band around the arm isn't very stretchable, putting it on something like my bicep might be uncomfortable or fall off. but I guess if I don't do arm work outs it might be ok, in anycase I'm going for my workout today and i'll report back.
Need a case for running and working out. Need it to hold to my pants line well and need access to the headphone jack. In the past I found the leather cases worked well. Any suggestions? Would love to find one on amazon with prime shipping.

In for looking to see what someone posts. Looking for one as well. (Armband over beltline, though)
I just received this one that I ordered from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZJGZ8O/ref=oss_product
Quality of build doesn't seem bad. However, I have the Seido Innocase II on my EVO and I may have to take the case off to get the EVO in. Also, the arm band may seem a little short if you have normal to bigger arms (I'm way on the "normal" size). When I put it on, it was a bit snug.
I'm going to try it out at the gym tomorrow morning and I'll post a follow up on my impressions/comments later.
here you go, had to look through my posts to find the thread

Don't get a belt. It is clunky for running and is pretty dorky (obviously that is a very subjective point).
I got this armband:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZJGZ8O/ref=oss_product
It works very well. I like it. Your Evo has to be nude, however.
100 percent agree....... it is very subjective personally i plan on getting this as you can pair it with some jaybird's and have it under your t-shirt/etc. also it allows to carry more than just the phone etc. that one i linked is running specific belt and all reviews in that thread state is doesn't move at all. Plus your more than likely going to get a better fit with a belt than an arm bad, small and big arms usually get the raw end of the stick

Which product did you order?
Hello everyone, I like running a lot and usually have my phone with me for listening to music and GPS tracking with Sports Tracker App.
I am looking for an armband that will fit the Arc so I can have it with me now that due to the summer coming will be wearing t-shirts mostly when running. (Until now I usd to carry it in my jacket's pocket.)
The armband should let the 3.5mm jack open so I can plug in my headphones.
Can you suggest one?
Thank you.
I'm looking for the same acc
tried to modified for iphone 4 but no luck
why not make your own
I know this might be tacky, but why not make you own; from an old sock.
If you have an old sock, with a long top part (the one that extends to the calf), you may cut it at the ankle, fold it inwards half-way. Stitch from the fold up to the edge (two rows wide apart to fit the phone in the middle), and voila! :good:
Wear the "armband" up your arm (with folded side to the bottom). Insert you phone inside the pocket created with the stitching.
ebay has a lot

Yeah try order online from those China sellers in ebay. Its cheap so buy several until u find the one u love lol.
Anyway im using my old Nike's for MP3 player, its a hard fit, but it stretch well and keep the phone steady. As long as it works i guess

I presume you already received yours. How is running with it? Does it hold the Arc well enough? Which one did you order by the way, have you any link on Ebay yo it?
i use the sock armband hahha it works pretty well! and it is very comfortable!
Stumbled over this a few minutes ago. They all look pretty amazing IMHO and it's kinda interesting that HTC will be shipping an external battery. Hope that's not an indication of poor HTC One battery life.
Check it out!

I saw some pics of a hardcase with a kickstand (no not that flip one).
I don't like how the hard shell is 3 different colours =/ I'm tempted by the Double Flip Case even though I don't normally like them... I wanna look after this phone!

I'm excited HTC is finally releasing official accessories for their flagship phone this time around. I actually plan on getting one of their cases on my phone for once.

maybe im wrong, but i would guess that it's unlikely there will be any bumpers from main manufacturers considering the phone is very thin at the edges and also the fact that it gets narrower at the edges (ie. not constant thickness)
There doesn't seem to be any official pouch at the moment which is unfortunate. I like my phone to be nude when I use it but be protected in my pocket.

Bro, check on http://www.pdair.com they sell high quality leather pouches. I'm like you and I like my phone to be naked and only be covered by a pouch so that people can see the device I have (I know, it sounds kind of egocentric) but also, I like to see my phone as it is, without anything covering it except the screen protector
The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them
I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone

Anyone bought an official accessory yet?
Specially the HTC Car D160?
I want to know if it's indeed in stock in the UK or not
flip one looks gorgeous but they should make one without kickstand. they'd be surprised if they know that not many people watch long duration videos on their phones.

About Handtec,are they always asking for your ID before accepting to send the item?
I heard they can loose days just for security check
Here it is guys, the review I done for this case. Absolutely in love with it.
I thought I'd share this with everyone as if you look online there really are no wallet cases in the world like this to have the sleep wake function.
If you want more information about this case reply to this thread and I'll try to best answer your questions.
Hope you like the review and the case as much as I do!
Whoever this sonivo crowd are, they smashed it with this case :good:

Does the magnet interfere with the phone in any way? Maybe the compass or any other sensors?
[Edit] also, is the phone held snugly in the case or does it seem like I could come out with just a bit of flexing?

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out. If you insert the case one side at a time its really easy. I normally insert the phone in from the left side then once that's in, clip the right side it. Getting it out is the same thing just in reverse. The support on the case is tough but does have a bit of allowance to allow the phone to come out.

Been using it for a few days now and haven't had any problems with it.
No movement from the phone once it's in the case. It's a hard case support thats made especially for the Nexus 5 so once the phone is in won't be going anywhere.
Hope that answers your questions.
One other question: does qi charging work with this case or is it too thick?

Seconded. This looks like the best case with an autowake cover. But it's also the only one that's not available in North America
I was curious about this wake n sleep function and played with a magnet on the phone, the sensor seems to be on the top left corner of the screen. Might glue a thin magnet into the cheapish pink wallet case my gf got for her N5 to ad this feature :good:
Where can or will Americans be able to purchase this? This case seems to be the best option and I only use wallet cases.

I have one that's similar:
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Googl...=UTF8&qid=1384880507&sr=8-13&keywords=supcase
The only issues are (1) doesn't work with a car mount as is a frequent case problem and (2) the phone seems to get hotter with a wireless charger than the phone gets without the case on.
I'm assuming if you have this case, you have your phone in your jacket pocket.
I'm also a bit worried about the magnet for the flap, wouldn't it demagnetize your cards?

I've not had any problems with the case demagnetising my cards, I really only keep my one credit card in there which I use on a daily basis and thats worked fine since I've been using this case.
