A phone this size... it's bigger than anyone's arms I know. I just figured nerds that guy the Evo probably don't play sports.

HAHA, that is exactly what I was thinkin. If you have this phone, it's doubtful you'll have muscles any larger than it
I know the phone is large. I do a lot of running and I would like to use this as my MP3 player.
i actually got it to fit into my belkin ipod touch 2G arm band...just need to cut a little at the top to make it stretch wide enough to slide in the evo...it will be a snug fit.
My arms ar much bigger than the evo... haha... im just... serious
Google EVO armband and you'll find one. I got one for $4.95 shipping was like $ 6.95 but now I'll have one. I'll give a review once I get it and try for a few days.
Look it up on Ebay. 10 bucks. With free shipping.

Let us know how you like it.
I like using buddy trainer or something like that to track my runs and I'd much prever the EVO on my arm instead of my waist band.
Thanks!

It seems like a good deal. It fits into a neoprene slip that will hold the device tightly for when you are working out plus it has a zippered pocket behind if you want to store say a key, id, or money. It seems like it is of decent quality but not OEM or made for the device specifically. I ordered one for my EVO and one for my wifes blackberry and they looked different online but seem as if they aren't any different but for $4.95 I don't regret the purhcase.

Not much option out there right now, but this one it about 20 buck.
I got a lot of 3 universal ones from shnoop a while back. Look similar to this one except a bigger version I think. I don't have an evo yet, but I've used it with my Sansa e270 and Vogue both squeezed in. It zippers all the way around so nothing is going to fall out, but you don't have quick access to the screen either.
how is it that it works with the ATT HTC Aria as well as the evo...
why oh why...... just.... get like a sansa clip or something, they can be had for like 30 bucks. This reminds me of that british iPad spoof video where the guy is screaming while talking on his iPad in public.

Why do people have such difficulty understanding that not everyone has the same needs and desires as they do? Perhaps these folks want to use GPS program to track their run? Perhaps they are on call and need quick access to their phone? The reason doesn't really matter.

Agreed. I used to run with my Zune but after getting my Evo I've been using Cardio Trainer to track my runs. That being said, I ordered an arm band from Amazon the other day. It looks like it's out of stock now, but it's not bad. It's universal so the buttons aren't the easiest to get to. But, in my opinion I really don't care; it holds it on my arm that's good enough for me.
I stand corrected and apologize.

Maybe you try this one? Slimmer than some of the others ive seen and its designed specifically for the EVO. Ive not seen it in person but it looks ok from the site. Give it a shot, let me know!
Would work awesome with Google My Tracks
Evo Arm Band :: Run & Walk with your Sprint Evo!
um bb, can you post a link or the site? im interested in seeing one specifically designed for the evo, thanks!
i am still looking for one that will fit my arms...and yes i am a bodybuilder geek. the only one i see out there only goes up to 15" arms and i am at 19" maybe keep it on my forearm?
Sorry if this has already been asked, but the search function is down right now.
I'd LOVE to have a wood or bamboo case for my Vibrant like the way these iphone cases are made: grovemade.com
Anyone have a lead or know someone that will make custom cases out of wood or bamboo?
wow i went to that site and all i can say is wow. that is amazing. i have never seen anything like that for the vibrant but if you find anything let me know! i'm thinkiing of trying it out myself, i'm may be able to make something liek that, minus the laser engraving, it would be just wood, simple but could be cool.
woooooooow. That plain wood amber case is soooo tight. i would definately drop the cash to have one of those that thing looks amazing. My guess would be it would be way more difficult to do a case for the vibrant tho. Iphone 4 is pretty simple and symmetrical. Vibrant is curvy, and has that hump on the bottom of it, i like the way it looks but making a case out of bamboo would be difficult.
It would be GREAT to see some Android logos and guys on that. Wonder how well it holds up to water (washing it) and dropping (breakage)....
If it's Oak im sure it can take a fall its really tough not like that pine crap. As long as it has a good finish on it like Polycrylic or some type of clear coat, it'll be water-proof. I'm definately interested in something like this, I would make one but sadly I don't have access to any woodshop equipment anymore.
ok guys, i posted a week ago that i was thinking about trying to make one of these, and i'm pretty serious about it now. I'm no expert, but i've helped build a few houses and random jobs here and there so i've worked with wood alot. Never anything this small and precise though. I've been gathering up tools and bits for the wood work and i'm about to get started. I can't find any bamboo but i'm probably gonna use oak...we'll see how it goes, may take a week, may take 23 years, who knows. I'll definately post pics when i'm done though. the trickiest part is definately gonna be the hump on the back at the bottom.
I sure hope they start making these. those things are sexy
Never mind.
iPhone gets all the cool accessories -_-

well call me a fashionista becuz i want some cases that actually look decent on my vibrant.. no just some generic stuff.
If it's just the look you want why not try vinyl shelf paper/contact paper? That stuffs pretty durable, cheap and you can get it in oak, bamboo, whatever you want.
Go green guys! Save the environment.
Environment my ass.
Email them at [email protected] and ask them to consider making wooden cases for the Vibrant. More people that contact them, meaning more potential customers, the more reason they would consider making it for us.
Back case?

you mean wood veneer? like wood skin right? I've used the stuff on little boxes I've made and it looks beautiful but the tricky part is when you glue it to the wood you want to put it on top of you need something HEAVY to be on top of the ENTIRE thing otherwise it has air pockets and curls up with makes it a real ***** to fix.
but I want real wood! So if I'm about to jinx something, I can knock on my phone.

If someone started making these, i would definitely go in on buying one. I'm pretty bummed that all the high quality cases and accessories are only for iphone, where's the android love??
^
Apple = 1 design
Android = multiple designs and different manufacturers
It's a good and bad thing for us.
I just got the seidio case and hate it. I would love to see a legit case like the one in the op too.
I was talking to a rep on monoprice (which I'm sure many of you know carry some nice cell accesories for extremely good prices) inquiring about htc one x accesories and he told me they were gearing up for a bunch of new GS3 stuff. Just a little FYI for you guys looking for cases, docks and screen protecters and such in the near future.

I love Monoprice... but they havent actually ever carried lots of cell phone accessories, so I am lost as to why you think their stock will be extensive. All I have ever seen are cheap chargers and screen protectors, not anything more than that.
I didn't mean to have it read that they were getting a huge selection. But a big group of droidx users (when it first came out) hit them with a bunch of requests for cases and stuff and they came back with about 10 different cases, a few screen protecters and two docks. I have them right here.
I'm not saying they're super high end, just if anyones looking for a cheap case or screen protecter and doesn't want to spend $15 on it then you'll be in luck
After 2 years of an iPhone 4, I'm ditching IOS and moving up to a Pure Google experience Galaxy Nexus.
One of the things I really liked about my iPhone was the case. It was a Pad and Quill The Little Black Book" case that gave the impression that the iPhone was a little notebook. (padandquill.com/cases-for-iphone-ipod-touch/case-for-iphone-4-4s-the-little-black-book.html)
My question for the all knowing gods of XDA, is there such a case for the Samsung Gaxlaxy Nexus? I've found a case for the upcoming Nexus 7 Tablet. (treegloo.com/options/nexus7) but alas, my Google Fu is weak and I cannot find that which I seek. I keep running up against dead-ends of cheep faux leather "book style" cases, nothing like the style and panache of the Moleskin-like real-book-bound Pad and Quill product.
I would even consider having a custom one fabricated if I knew where to go to do that. (Seriously, I would pay $150~$200 to get what I want, such is the nature of a steampunk mental illness)
Any guidance, or the name of a good therapist, would be appreciated.
I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist yet. We here in android land are jealous of very few things on the apple side, but iphone accessory aftermarket is the biggest.
Sorry to say, but the best answer will probably be to get creative and design one your self.
We have a DIY Workshop with lots ideas on docks, charging and painting and stands, but nothing like you are describing yet.
From my time cruising Instructibles, I know the steampunk crowd is also very active builders and tinkerers.
Hope the idea of cutting a little leather doesn't sound too intimidating, because the project sounds cool. And can promise you'll be able to show it of with a lot more pride if its a custom, one-of-a-kind you made than just something anyone can buy.
Anyway, welcome to the light side, and I hope your Gnex treats you well!
im sort of annoyed how i browsed and browsed the cases suggested on this site, and read a LOT of the threads/pages...and people who got white cases, or had experience with them, never mentioned how the white will diminish and dis-color.
i have a nilkin case that was highly suggested here, so i got one from ebay for 10. case is exactly what i wanted, but after a few weeks i started to notice my white case turn a bit rusty-browny/ish. my otterbox iphone 4s case was white, and also picked up ink from jeans or something after so long. if i knew all of this i would have never gotten another white case... i figured the otterbox just picked up crap, and was willing to try somethin else light.

I reckon if you spend the money on a better white case like the UAG it wouldn't discolor.

Whats wrong if he shared his experience. Isn't it one of the reasons to converge on the forums. His purchase was based at-least partly on research and recommendations here. It didn't pan out for him and he posted. You need to loosen up a bit
Yep.. white discolors, lesson of life lol.
the UAG might not discolor cause it has clearcoat on it (I think, right?)
As for rubber/silicone/TPU white cases, try a magic eraser.

Ok so I read on JD power the 2013 Honda civic was best car for 2013 in it's class. I bought it. Now I hate this pos! Did I go to Honda forum and cry about it? Nope I mand up! Everyone knows white discolors/gets dirty fast. Maybe I was outta line but that's how I felt
P.S it's like he is mad at everyone because no one told him the white would discolor boooohooo in the words if Justin Timberlake "Cry me a river"

If you don't like his post, dont read it, dont open it, just ignore it.
It doesnt violate any rules as far as I can tell, however your responses to him are borderline harassment
I too find it odd he did not realize white tends to get dirty. But now he knows, and maybe others out there didn't know but will see this thread now.
No big deal.

Its not a question of like/dislike or buyers remorse. If there is an issue with the product and/or its advertized features, then yes, I will gripe, be it a civic or a beemer or the might pencil. Of late , a lot of sellers who stand behind the quality of their products have some sort of active/passive monitoring on social boards (check Amazon/Newegg) for feedback on their products and sometimes that is the quickest way to a resolution.
ok i need to get over my wasted 10 dollars. you need to get over me complaining about it...if i was looking for a new car and read a lot of positive (biased) reviews about that car, i would want someone to share their good [AND] bad experiences of the car..lets say the car has no cup holders, and 99 percent of the posters failed to mention that..what if i drove long distances and needed cup holders? and you were the only one that mentioned it had no cup holders. --NOPE dont do that. you're whining and crying about it. (dumb example i know lol)
its 10 dollars, just like you said. not a huge deal, although a lot of cases are more 20-50 dollars. im not making a huge deal about it. i was just trying to warn other people. what if someone is hung up between two cases, and they cant decide which one. and maybe my thread helped them pick what color they would like a little more easier because they're not reading the same post over and over ("oh this case is good")
Just wanted to let you guys know, the back of your phone will get scratched if you accidentally drop it without a case on it. HTC didn't list this in their product description, So I am letting you know.
I've got an OEM Samsung white case on my Note 2 and it's it's fared very well. I've had it for months and it hasn't discoloured or gotten dirty. It all depends on the material that the case is made out of.
I'm looking for a case for the One that I have now and I've used a Nillkin case before and it was black and it was great.
I guess it also depends on how dirty your hands and pockets are too.
Wow. Y'all need to get your panties out of a wad and get off the OP's back. It was just a post letting ppl know his experience with the case. Go find your next victim. Geez. -_-

Well I have the nillkin white flip case for over a month now and it is fine. Granted it being white it does get dirty real fast so it needs cleaning constantly, I have been doing this and its been fine for me so far.

I'd tend to lean with the "what's the point" crowd on this one-- no offense, OP, but this is kind of par for the course with...well, anything white! Which really does suck, because I know a lot of people prefer that aesthetic-- personally, dark and understated colors have always done me better.
That said, I'd also echo the sentiment that it varies from case to case. $10 cases are just about always going to be a hit-or-miss-- for that kind of cost, it's unlikely that the manufacturer invested in quality materials, especially if plastics are involved. Those will discolor on contact with just about anything "unusual" in the environment. I don't think TPU cases discolor much though, so if you want a cheap white option you could look into one of those.
Of course, the worst case scenario with these is if discoloration happens outside of the return period.
Yeah, I tend to avoid white matte plastic cases. The polished ones don't stain quite as easily, but scuffs are very apparent.

sadly, my thread didnt reach the two members on this website that got the nillkin white case, and are now disappointed and wish they got something else, because their case as well yellowed.

Uh, umad bro? If you want to go hang your heads in collective misery, a PM would probably be a lot more efficacious.
Seriously.. how do people not know white gets dirty easily?
Heres a few more tips:
Matte/rough surfaces tend to get dirty easily and stain.
Glossy/smooth surfaces tend to be easy to clean off, the gloss is a clear coat that protects the paint under it. Stains usually just wipe off.
Light colors tend to get stained because they are light, so any dirt/dyes will show up very clearly.
Your jeans were made with a lot of dye, it is highly likely that your case will get stained by that too, especially if your jeans get a bit wet (due to the rain for example).
