Armband? - Moto X Accessories

Anybody find an armband that works well and is specifically fit to the Moto X?
I've got a Tune Belt that I used with my Galaxy Nexus and that'll probably work with the X as well, but obviously the headphone jack isn't in the same spot.

I have this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E8OK3G0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is pretty nice. The plastic piece kind of gets folded over, but other than that it does the job.

Nice, i've been looking for once since i got my X. How comfortable is it? How long/big is the band that goes around your arm?

The band is plenty long and wide to fit around my arm. I dont notice it when I am running so it is fairly comfortable. If you wear long sleeves it is great, it slips a little on my bear skin every now and then.
I think it is silly that there is a cut out for the camera considering you are going to strap it on your arm, but no big deal.
I pull my phone out of my regular case before putting it in this one, I also didnt use the screen protector.

Awesome, been looking for an armband.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had seen that one on amazon but didn't see any comments/reviews that were specifically for the Moto X version of it...mostly all iPhone users it seemed like.
I'm planning on a run this evening and I'll probably give my old TuneBelt a try. I was surprised the phone does seem to fit in there better than I expected. I'll see how that goes and if it doesn't work out I'll probably order this one...price is right!

Could you get a picture of your case/armband considering the amazon page shows the iphone one for all but 1 picture?

Can you post some pics of it with your Moto X...as I am also looking for the one.

So while not specifically fit to the Moto X, I thought I would share a finding. My wife has an iPhone 4s with a lifeproof case. She uses the lifeproof arm band for running. Today I took it for a run with my Moto X (in a foaming slim fit TPU case). It is super secure, fits in the arm band well and has NO COVER OVER THE SCREEN. It was easy to stop and start my running app and get to the volume buttons for music (that I also have set to skip music)

Neoprene Sleeve

Is there a neoprene sleeve out for the Droid X yet? I have a Nexus One that I use for work and it came with a sleeve that is easily slides in and out of. Looking for something similar for the DX for the times when I want to throw it into my laptop bag or backpack.
I came from an N1 as well and wanted the same thing, but couldn't find anything so I made one out of duct tape, lined with material from an old T-shirt.
It sounds funny, but it actually works REALLY well.
Here's some pics:
Wow, that actually looks well made! gj

If I order it next week it will still get here before my phone does from Verizon.

1) This is true.
2) Thanks
I've been using this for a few weeks now and it's actually a really good case.
If you guys have a spare T-shirt (or sock) and some duct tape, I actually do recommend making one of these.
Maybe I'll make a how-to video.. haha
I've been using the sleeve from sfbags.com for about 2 weeks now. Its pretty decent, a thin sort of grippy material so the phone doesnt slip out on its own, but doesnt grip enough that it causes a problem trying to remove it from the sleeve. Main reason I bought it was so it wouldnt get scratched in my pockets from my keys or change and it does well with that. If you ever had a G1 its almost like the sleeve that came for that with less padding. Also I've dropped it on the asphalt already, so the material was thick enough to protect it from a dent, gouge or broken screen thankfully.
Just a word of warning. I just got a "Tune Belt Sport Armband for HTC EVO 4G" today. It fits the DX fairly well. I went for a one hour run and after when I was taking the DX out of the sleeve, the clear plastic of the sleeve stuck to my Zagg Invisible Shield and started pulling it off. End result is now I have a big crease in the Invisible Shield. I'm thinking of cutting the plastic out of the Tune Belt and see how that works. I also just got a waterproof Dry Case for the DX, I'm wondering if that's going to cause the same problem.

Gaffers tape might be a more durable solution?
Sunglass Micro Fiber Pouch
Why not just use that Micro Fiber Pouch that they give you when you buy a pair of nice sunglasses. Not only can you throw it in there but you can tie it so it doesn't fall out. You can use it to clean the screen. They might even be able to give you one for free.

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.
rescuesupply.co.uk/aquapac-aq218-large-armband-case-waterproof-1129-p.asp
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.
http://store.aquapac.net/explore-product-range/waterproof-phone-cases/large-armband-case-218.html
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.

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:

tripod and neck strap for the sgs2

i just bought this app called lapseit and i would like to take time lapse videos while i travel using my sgs2.
can anyone recommend a portable tripod similar to a gorillapod that has a clamp for our phone?
and a gadget/phone case with a neck strap that will allow the phone to dangle horizontally grom my neck while i walk around?
For the neck strap thing, all you need is a case which doesn't cover the little hole on the right hand side of the phone (if you look at it from the back) and a neck strap like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-NEW-Ne...rap_Charms&hash=item35b99c28c3#ht_2410wt_1396 The case isn't necessary, but if you do want a case you'll need to make sure that little hole isn't covered.
Trekmates do a GPS waterproof case. You have to take the phone out to use but will keep it dry and its quite cheep.
There are universal tripods like this
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=190612518567&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=99464512784
Tight fit however.....I used one for my Sony arc and it was a squeeze. Not sure how long it would last, and with a case it will be an even tighter fit. But it is cheap.
One that is more specific is this one that is built into a case but is more expensive
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=250957189841&index=13&nav=SEARCH&nid=36013783954
This obviously can't be used with another case either

The problem with the hole on the sgs2 is that it is only in one side. So if I were to use it with a neck strap it would hold the phone at an angle and that just won't do.
I'm looking forward something that can preferably keep it horizontal so I get a wider field on the video.

Aluminum Bumper Mini-Review

Got my silver aluminum bumper from AliExpress today and it looks great for the price. When I came back from lunch with my boss, this thing was waiting for me in my mail box. It was extremely well packaged from China and you can tell the package was beat up in it's week's journey. Shipping to me in TX from China only took a week and that is extremely fast for me. I was expecting a two week delivery time.
To the case: To quell any questions on call quality; I have placed one call with the bumper on since I installed it. And it works. No noticeable drops that I can initially tell. I'll update if anything changes.
My bumper came with a generic N5 screen protector, which I will not use, because I already have a spigen one installed. I proceeded in taking the included bag which had a philips type of screw driver and upon further inspection, the bag also have a few spare screws, which is always welcomed IMO.
I removed my tpu bumper and slapped this one on immediately. I first came across the bumper looking like it may not fit due to my dbrand cf skin. Being a bit thick, I was a bit worried. But with a little more wrapping the case closer to the outer bezel, the screw openings aligned up better than before. The reason is because of the little foam pads on the interior. Once you work it down a bit, you should be able to screw in the teeeny tiny screws with the included screwdriver.
Will it work on my orb charger? Yes! It holds up as I thought it would.
Does the little screw tab that reminds me of Florida really bad looking? No, when looking at the phone at its entirety, I honestly can say, I like it.
Does it protect the back camera? Uhhhh that's a no. There are ridges on the bottom of the micro USB port and where the headphone port is, but it is not enough to keep the camera lens to sit on the table. This will detract quite a few people. But keep in mind, this is a MINIMALIST case, not a Seidio or Otterbox or whatever bomb proof case that's out there now lol. All the openings are nice and big, except for the headphone port. If you have anything like a Shure E215 plug, you will need to use an adapter to extend the port or use another headset/headphone all together. Another issue, I kinda dislike is the opening for the power button. You have to really search for the button because of it being a cut out compared to buttons on top. I just got to get used to that feeling.
However saying that, I am 100% comfortable placing my phone flat down because I have a dbrand carbon fiber skin on my Nexus 5 backside.
Another bonus is that this aluminum bumper fits in my Seidio Dilex Holster for the Nexus 5 without any issue. The little tab on the bottom plays nice and I am one happy camper. :highfive:
Do I recommend this? For now I say yes aesthetic wise. Everything seems to work thus far so I really don't have anything too bad to say about it.
Pros:
It's thin
Aluminum color is sleek and sexy with my cf white dbrands skin
Ok with wireless charging orb (will test out Tylt Vu later on as well as the Nexus Wireless charger in my truck)
Cons:
It's thin
This bumper will not protect the camera lens when laying it on it's backside.
The lil "Florida" tab where the screws are. Even though not a dealbreaker for me, it's still a slight 'con' in my book.
Pics below. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll field them if I am not working
Thanks for the review, I will probably buy one. Does it seem like the metal would be able to scratch the screen where or makes contact?

wow that looks awesome
Could you take a photo of the hole for the headphone jack when the case is on the Nexus 5 or measure the diameter of the hole?

No it doesn't seem to scratch or do anything to the screen. I have a Spigen protector on it and the bumper did not peel it up. I was more worried about the dbrand backing.

Yes I have used the Nexus wireless charger. I have it installed in my truck in conjunction of a Kenu Airframe that mounts to the vents. It clears Kenu Airframe so that the magnets can catch without much issue. And bumpy Texas roads and highways are no match thus far. But don't go off roading lol.

Not too good with measurements with that size, I'll try lol. To me and my ruler, it looks like 6mm? I'll attach a pic.
Reporting on a half day of full use of the Aluminum bumper. I really do like the look of it and fits in my Seidio Dilex holster securely. However, I have to report in that if one has a dbrands back like me, I have a white carbon fiber back, it may bubble up a bit depending on how you put on your back and if you used a blow dryer on the edges like dbrand suggested. I did do that, but I did find a slight bubble/rise on the corner where the screws go in. Also, you can see that the bumper does not fully wrap around like a tpu would because, this is really not that flexible. I'll post some pics and hopefully you can see what my OCD eyes can see. As for the lil bubble, I'll need to do a follow up blow dryer event when I go home for lunch and see if that makes it go away or not. Not really all concerned with the bubble, I can hardly see it and I can learn to live with it if it doesn't go away lol.
looks great!! but in the back is a bit to thin imho

I agree, but I am ok with it. I mean if it was naked it would have the same issue. However the dbrand back is protecting it from scratches so I am ok with that.Drop protection, I don't know, even though the box does mention drop protection on corners lol.
Can you comment on your cellular connection with it on.
Have you done any speed tests with and without it.
I mentioned in another thread that I had one on an iPhone and it did not do well, but the iPhone antenna is around the device, different than the Nex 5.

Can you comment on your cellular connection with it on.
Have you done any speed tests with and without it.

No I haven't done speedtests on it. But I am getting full bars LTE right outside my office, which is pretty much on par with what I normally get. I have to admit, I do think it affects the antenna slightly, but not to the point of dropped calls. However, I do not have anything to back up this theory.
I'll report back later on to see if my wife said she called me and I didn't answer or what have you.
can you do a signal test w/o case and w/ case?
(Settings, About Phone, Status, Signal strength)
Thanks!!

Because you asked and I don't feel like working on my next project right now lol...
Without the bumper on, the phone went to lowest LTE at -112dBm
With bumper on, the phone went to H and jumps here and there, but didn't stick and settled on 3g (or UMTS) at -101dBm.
So my initial feelings are correct that it does hinder reception but I am still connected. Well in the office anyway. But I used my phone at lunch with co workers without issue. I was getting emails and notifications while I was out.
unfortunately, I barely get signal in my office so I can't really get this :/ I wish there was a good looking bumper that has same look/feel as this one but made of a different material that would not jeopardize the signal quality.

Sorry man. I wish I had better news. But I will continue to use the bumper for myself until something happens or if I get fed up with it for whatever reason.

No not so much, but after my first Seidio Holster broke, I have been running it naked and got used to its slim design. This was minimal bulk that still showed off the back dbrand skin goodness and also helps with any corner bumps. Which I have to say it did do its job the other day when I knocked it off my charger in my truck.

I have to add, which I didn't in the OP, is that I did add a bit more for a tracking number. I think the extra shipping cost less than 3 bucks.
