Has anyone had any experiences running/jogging with the Note 2? I was going to post this in the accessories forum, but wasn't just looking for a good arm band, but also some experiences and tips.
I have the Nike+ App and the Zombie running app that I really want to try, but can't see how carrying my Note 2 around is going to be suitable.
Thanks
I've never ran with a phone but I would have to guess running with the note 2 is a bad idea. I am fixing to start riding my bike soon and I am thinking it will not be such a good idea on handlebars either. Unless you have hulk hogan pythons. Lol.

Ive tried it with an armband and the weight of the phone means it just slides down or the velcro eventually comes undone. I use blue tooth headphones now and put the phone in a waist holder

I think it would be uncomfortable and tbh I wouldnt trust many straps to hold a heavy phone like the N2. For piece of mind I just got a cheap 20euro 6gb mp3 player. No display and no light but does the job. When im working it is the only time I dont want modern technology around me
I have run with the Note2 in my hand. No probs at all...
Waist pack and headphones. Nathan makes some good packs.

I run with the Note 2 in cycling Tshirt with rear spare places. I put it in rear pocket in a plastic bag (for the sweat) and it is all right !!

i run every day with note 2 (use a water resistant/proof waist pack) ,
either use bluetooth headset and listen to music or
use headphones to listen to radio.
Size is no problem at all.!
i have tried app" zombi run",but after a few runs it gets boring !!!
Got my nexus today and the official quick cover I ordered came with it too, even though the order indicated part dispatch. I had assumed this meant the case had been delayed.
Have to say it is a very nice case, feels great, nice snug fit and it is really thin. While it is still bedding in the front flap is lifting slightly when closed (see pic) but I am sure this will give a bit in the next few day's.
Not worth £35!!!!! But it is a nice case. If the spigen one is as nicely made (seem to be looking at pics and reviews) then it will make them a bargain
Nice, but I REALLY miss the Nexus sign from the back...

Hey there, quick question:
The Notification light is not visible with this front, right?

Yes, correct. Notification light is obscured by cover.
LG/Google case design = FAIL
Time to get out the drill or hole punch, shall I take the phone out of the case before I begin drilling?
haha, there aren't many pictures with a broken screen yet so do it! ;p
where did you get the quick cover? Play store?

Yes, play store.
Was in new gadget blindness mode and didn't really think about the cost, at £35 it is a bit too much.
I reckon at that price the hole punch cut out for the notification light should go for about £4 on eBay

Well all the pics show a hole for the notification light. If there is no hole for your camera also, then you have it installed upside down

You had me going there for a moment - I had to reach all the way past my keyboard at work to test your theory.
Phew, I am not an idiot after all, although most of my daily actions would prove otherwise, LGoogle have forgotten to poke a hole in their case!
I will have to ring them and see if they can mail me a hole upgrade? If the makers of polo mints can remember to put holes in their products, I don't see why LGoogle can't
What do you think Google will charge me for postage on a hole?
I really like it but to bad the nexus logo on the back is lost
Id love to get this but losing the nexus logo is a no go for me. I think ill just buy a real bumper.
Does that mean that the front flap isn't magnetized? I'd heard it was and that when you open it, it unlocks your screen.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I have the case as well myself. The flap IS magnetised. The magnet is actually located above the volume buttons, so that when closed the magnet touches the screen glass over the volume buttons.
And I agree, while the case is nice, it definitely isn't worth £35, more like £15 and that's pushing it.

Ok...how did you guys get the case? When I look in the Google Play store, it says "coming soon". I'm in Canada (eh?) and never have any issue purchasing other stuff. I got the white Nexus 5 and thought the white flipcase would look SIC!!!
I received my Quick Cover with my Nexus 5 on Monday. First time I have used a case like this and I must say I am impressed. It feels premium (perhaps not £35 premium) and does not add as much bulk to the phone as I expected.
I for one am glad it has no notification light hole as the light used to wake me in the night on my bedside table.
One question to any other owners, is the rear too thick for wireless charging to work?

Pretty sure wireless charging is fine with this case, think I read it somewhere?
I am sure LGoogle wouldn't overlook this, especially considering they are releasing a charger for the nexus devices too.

The hole in the picture is at the top for the earpiece so you can talk on the phone with the cover closed...
What happens if the flap is closed, you receive an incoming call and open the flap? Does that automatically answer the call? What happens to a call when you close the flap?
Thanks for your feedback.

Opening the flip just turns on the screen. All it does is it saves your pressing the power button. You still have to swipe to unlock if you have it turned on, still have to enter your unlock code etc. When there's an incoming call, after opening the flip you still have to swipe to answer/reject/silence the call. And closing the flip doesn't end calls either, it just turns off the display, or the speaker hole on the flip would be pointless.

Musta been very few...I was on this like a hen on a junebug....but alas...no case. Good for you though :good:
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:

Everything looks great. I keep wanting a case like this but taking pictures seems to be a pain. How easy is it to take the phone in and out of the case?

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.

Hi Guys,
I really like the concept of S view or Quick Circle i have seen one or two such cases on the interwebs and wondered, does OPO has the hardware to support such kind of cases?:silly:
The idea behind the s view case is that the amoled screen on Samsung devices save power by using less of the screen since an amoled screen only draws as much power as is on the screen. LG use an LCD panel like the OnePlus and have copied the idea with their circle cut out, for what ever reason I don't know, it doesn't save power. The key requirement is a hall sensor, a magnetic switch that tells the phone when the flip cover is closed. The oneplus does not have a hall sensor.

I think i saw a video of the opo where the flip case made the screen to turn on. So i guess it has the hall sensor...

I've read on the Opo forum that cases like the above don't work for international Opo. It seems to be designed for the Color OS rom. I'm holding off from getting the Nillkin Sparkle case because I'm not sure if it would work properly.

If I place a magnet 2/3 down the rhs of the phone's edge, my phone will turn off. I am sure that something can be done with this so that we can all profit from a QuickWindow Case. eg. Nillkin

Mine behave the same, I think there must be a hal sensor.
I think cm11 has introduced hal sensor drivers because cm11 on my s4mini the sensor works
Hi guys , i recently purchased the band mentioned in the title and have had it put on by my local jewelers which by the way slightly damaged the sides where the pins go in by marking one of them not sure how. Now i am paranoid it would make it crack i hope not.
My question is in the long run have any of you had any issues with that band at all seeing as though when on my wrist it really doesen't put pressure on the back of the watch as my wrist is not that small.
Some photos , not sure if you can make it out but you can tell where hes damaged the sides lol. Should i worry as per the photos?
Thanks
Anybody?

It seems that your jeweler filed the back sides in order to reach the lugs ? Yes I do believe this weakens the already poorly designed plastic back. I think that anybody owning the watch could have done a better job at this, because owning it makes one handling the watch responsibly.
Mine cracked a week after I put this band on. But I have a smaller wrist.

I have the same band in black. I put it on my 360 without SteelConnect lugs and knew immediately that the back would crack sooner, rather than later.
Got some SteelConnect M°180 lugs and now it fits and moves like it should. See below.
Also bought the black steel mesh band which imo looks amazing. Decided against buying the steel connects, just looks missed placed.
So what I did is use my dremel tool to file down the rounded plastic back. All seems well.

Yeah, if you don't get the steelconnect (or similar) lugs, the only other option to prevent cracking is breaking out a dremel and sandpaper. BUT, this would warrant denial of warranty should anything else go wrong with the watch, so I decided to go with the lugs. Black lugs on the black band looks good to me.
What's the difference between the 180 steel connects and the 225?
