Hey guys, i got this in a few days ago so I can verify it fits the MOTOROLA DROID X not the Samsung that the description says.
You can even tell by the part # that it is made for the DROID X. Why Verizon has it screwed up I dont know, but it is the ONLY face-in snap-in holster I have found.

Enjoy, I will post pics of it on my phone in a bit.
They have a better one that comes with a back shel also
It is called shell/holster combo for $30

I have the holster. It's a little flimsy and I'm probably going to replace it with the Seidio. As for the holster shell combo, it sucks. I had it for my incredible and it gets loose.

Check out this one...

I like that better because it comes with the protective case, and its a clip on.
That's the one I had, it's made by Amzer. It doesn't protect the top of the device either. Mine fell out of the holster and dinged up the top of my phone.

I have this one and hope it loosens up over time. Right now, it takes two hands to get the phone out of the holster because it's so tight. It works great for me though, no worrying about the phone falling out of the holster.

I might have to get this one then, if its that tight.
I work at an auto parts store so im constantly moving around, brushing up against greasy things or crawling under people's cars so I need some protection for my phone. How is the quality of the case?
Also, does the case wrap around the front of the phone? I mean if I lay the phone face down will the screen touch or will the case protect it?
Yes, the case does wrap around the front enough to keep the glass off the counter when you lay it down. Both the shell and the hoster are rigid with a rubberized feel.
It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone like some cases I've looked at, so the phone is pocketable when you want to go without the holster.
I picked mine up in my Verizon store, so would recommend you stop at one and ask to see it on an X.

yea im going out tomorrow to buy that thing. it was exactly what I was looking for... I need a good screen protector too, as i usually have dirt and grime on my hands from dealing with car parts. I heard Vzw screen protectors suck and dont even cover the whole glass. Any recommendations?

Yes i have this holster. Just picked it up yesterday. And it seems secure and I liked the look and the feel of it in my hand. Just didn't like that it left the top of the phone exposed. In the holster its protected though. Its when you take it out it seems like it could possibly get dinged at the top of the phone if it fell. Otherwise it seems pretty cool. Im looking to see if someone comes out with a holster that includes complete coverage of the phone and holster combo. I think they didn't cover the top because the antenna is located there. Not sure but just a theory.

The screen protectors we talk about in this thread (the SGP Crystal Clear ones) are the best by far, and they also have the anti-fingerprint ones too.

Hi,
I am about to buy one of the above cases and I would like the opinions of those who have them. The plus and the minus of each of these cases.
Thank you in advance
Good post! I am picking between the two as well.. I am leaning towards the Case-Mate Pop out case because of the stand and how useful it is since I video chat with google talk often and being able to set it on the table and watch a movie or chat sounds great.

I just bought a case mate pop. Looks good and will def provide protection but too bulky in my opinion. And i didn't get a free screen protector!!!
I'm using SGP hybrid for several weeks now, very happy with it.
One thing u should know about it is that curved headphones is problematic with it and some micro usb connectors might not fit the case (but will do fine after some shaving ).
Can't comment about the case mate.
I was actually picking between the Case-Mate TOUGH series and the POP...
I went with the POP after deciding between the two, and it was because I liked the idea that you could set it down as a stand - for me it'll save having a cradle and at night like Im used to my blackberry having a large clock and I kind of wanted that feel.
But when it gets here I can vouch for its quality. Right now, im playing the waiting game...

I also bought the case mate pop but also find it a little bulky. I passed my phone to a work mate the next day and he dropped it from a few feet and it didn't damage the phone whatsoever. So I do like it and I like the kickstand. But I am thinking of getting the Barely there case for when I want to travel lighter with less bulk. I always tend to get a handful of cases until I find something perfect
I was looking at both of these cases myself last month. I ended up buying both to try them out.
The Neo Hybrid is nice, looks good and is very form fitting. Bought in Red.
I settled on the Case Mate Pop case, in White. It has a bit more bulk. My biggest fear is to drop the phone and for it to land face down and break the display. The Pop case has more material around the edges of the phone so if it does fall face down there will be a larger gap between the display and the pavement(a mm or less, probably). The Pop case is a little harder to remove as well but I think it protects more. My .02¢.

Just had the Case-mate Pop! delivered today (white and grey). It's very well made and looks and feels excellent (even the girlfriend said so), and although it adds a fair bit of bulk, it does seem to protect the phone quite well. All sockets/holes etc seem to have plenty of clearance so access to them and sound coming out shouldn't be an issue. Very nice case, especially since Amazon UK were doing it for ~£17 instead of the usual £25.
Case mate pop + 2000 mah battery and cover
Does anyone have both the case mate pop and samsung 2000 mah battery? I would like to know if they fit. Thank you!
i personally don't like neo hybrid. the silicone is thin and the plastic is flimsy and can be easily deformed

Where are all the pictures?! Show us what you bought.
I'd like to see the case off the phone sitting beside to see how much thicker than the phone it is.
Can someone help with that?
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.

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.

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?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
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.

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:
If you search for "galaxy s3 grid armband" on eBay, you'll find it. I bought from "wanghaostore".
It's also listed under other names, you can search further under "galaxy s3 sport armband" once you know what the auction picture looks like.
The armband came a bit folded in half probably from shipping, I need to set something heavy on it to flatten it out....
Fit
The armband fits really good. All the buttons are accessible. You can change the volume while running, as well as easily access the ports and power button.
The armband also works with cases! As you can see in the last picture I have my diztronic TPU case on it.
Feel
The material is a little scratchy, but overall it's comfortable and will stay put on the arm. It's a tech-fabric material with what looks like a nylon weave "cushion" underneath.
It should be pretty sweat-resistant, the material where the phone sits is neoprene, so it shouldn't absorb sweat or scratch the phone.
The strap length is a bit on the short side. It fits for me, I have 13-14 inch biceps. It could probably go up to 19-20 inch biceps, but beyond that you might need a different holster. Smallest it could go is probably around 11-12 inches.
Usability
I always have problems with the plastic screen protector on armbands bubbling up. With this one the case stretches it, so I can easily use the phone while its on my arm. I don't anticipate issues being able to slide or use Pandora.
The main benefit of the armband is also its biggest detriment: All the ports are exposed. Don't plan on using it in the rain. But for a sunny day, or indoors at the gym, it's a great holder.
Price - $1.99 + $1.50 shipping on eBay.
So buy 5, so you can replace it if it becomes stanky from sweat.
Good review. Do you think it will fit those with extended batteries with a tpu case?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Maybe. Its thick enough, there's plenty of vertical space.
My friends phone with incipio silicrylic case fits. Bit tight (width-wise, height has plenty of room),
May even fit with otter box.

Ah, yeah, same here. I was pleasantly surprised, I would say it is the best armband on the market right now.
It may not work with extended battery + TPU case (depends how thick), but I'm fairly confident in saying it'll at least work with the extended battery.
There are a lot of complaints about the Belkin armbands absorbing water/sweat.
I had the iArmbands style for my last phone, they suck.
I might get one of the iGadgitz or CrazyOnDigital type for rain, but this will be my primary-use one, since I don't have to take off the case.
Looks like it's $4. shipped now.

I've thought of this too. I'm intrigued by the Tetrax and whether it would be stable (mostly because I've been thinking about getting one for my car).
http://www.tetrax.com/us/products/iphone-ipod/tetrax-xway
It'd be interesting to get one of the FIX connectors and epoxy it to some sort of strap, like the TuneBand.
Or you could get a cheap case and make your own TuneBand

Wrong button, enjoy the thanks.
NO. That is not the right one.
I actually bought that one through eBay, it sucks. The one I got, the phone doesn't fit in it (not even without the case, it kept pressing the volume button). And the strap is huge, the arm band wouldn't fit on my arm. I ended up throwing it away.
As far as the arm band goes, it should easily fit with the SGP Neo. The diztronic, despite being thin on the back, is quite thick around the sides.
