I really love the iphone bumper, and i'm looking such case for the atrix,
Is there something fimiliar?
Highly unlikely. The main reason the Bumper was created for the iPhone 4 was because it suited the overall design of the phone. Just covering the aluminum antenna band while leaving both glass panes exposed. Making a bumper-esque case for the Atrix probably wouldn't be worth it, since it would also need quite a few more cutouts for different connections, as well as for the fingerprint reader, which would leave a rather small amount of material near the top.

Can you clarify what you mean by "bumper"?
If it is what I think you are talking about, check out the Incipio Feather case.

.... Bumper.... as in the iPhone 4 Bumper case.... as in the piece of rubber that runs around the outside of the iPhone 4 that Apple somehow thought to charge like $20-30 for which prompted some people to craft their own out of a Live Strong wrist band.

horrid case IMO. I tried that case on my phone on launch day...they only had it and the otterbox monstrosity. For 35bucks, i laughed and told the salesman to take it off my phone. That case, while sturdy and thick, should only cost $10, if that.
Yea... with that, you'd be better off getting one of the cheap, but quite nice TPU cases off eBay like i, and several others, have.
Had the otterbox but took it back. I got our because there is nothingelse available locally...and keeps the phone small

I do not agree. It is a great case as Speck makes awesome cases for phones. However, it adds too much bulk, but it is a really good and sturdy case. I switched to the Seidio Innocase II Surface and I love it.
I have the official Moto ruggedized battery cover. Very minimalistic and adds a nice grip. Available at cnn.cn. Extra discount if you order from a mobile phone web browser. Enjoy!

I don't even think it's possible to make a bumper the same style as the iphone for the motorola atrix simply because the design is not the as the iPhone. The back of the atrix is curved and rounded off so there would not be a rubber band styled case that would stay in place.
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.

Nice review !
Is it possible you could post a picture with the arm holster on, just to see how it fits ?
And how long was the shipping time ? From where to where ?

Shipped from hong kong. I bought it on the 24th (weekend), shipped on the 28th, in america on the 30th, and delivered on august 3rd (midwest).
I'll try to get a picture with it on my arm.
I was thinking of actually making a custom armband, any thoughts? I've seen people do it for their iphones

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.
Have you guys seen this?
BUILT TO TYLT
They look pretty decent, and I am glad they are not leather! I have been using a silicone band, and while it looks good and feels good, I actually prefer the feel of resin bands, the type Casio and G-Shock watches use.
(see my mod here... http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-360/441678-moto-360-sport-edition-watch-strap-mod.html)
That being said, these look great and I like that there is a metal clasp at the end of the band to control the extra slack, and not a loop.
Also, there is no pricing that I can see...

If you had clicked on the "BUY NOW" button you would have seen that they are $29.95.
lol, i didn't see that on the mobile site, maybe i gotta use my eyes!
___
Actually, just checked the mobile site again, and it doesn't seem to have a buy now option!
For $30... that's kinda reasonable. I know that if I buy it, I don't have to alter it and it'll be guaranteed to fit.
I just received a blue one and it is really nice. Perfect size, the blue isn't really too BLUE.
I really like the clasp snaps back into the band to keep it tidy.
Very happy with it.
was going to buy one but then got to the payment page and saw $30 shipping to uk sad times
wondering how these work without the band cutout
Responding to my prior post regarding cut out concerns ... I was no longer worried since this is now sold on the Moto website as an officially recognized accessory.
Ordered one on 4/14, shipped on 4/16 and delivered 4/20 via USPS
Installation was a little trickier than I expected with one of OEM pins acting stubborn. The TYLT included new pins, so I didn't reuse the leather ones.
I didn't feel any resistance installing the band without the cutout.
Impressions:
- Feels lighter and more comfortable than the leather
- Blue color is a nice dark blue and looks nice enough to wear to work
- The metal tip can be trickier to get through the buckle portion of the band.
- Overall I prefer it to the leather (for now)
- Recommended, but $30 is steep for silicone band. I just couldn't bear with sweaty leather any longer, so it's a quality option if you wear your watch during workouts
I think that smartwatch 3 has so much potential, but Sony aren't making use of it and they could easily sell loads. Firstly smartwatch has the most features in a watch such as GPS and WiFi, 2 day battery life and its even one of the cheapest. Now they have a potential of making the watch look amazing, mainly because the core watch can come out. Sony have created a silver metal band but you can't buy the band only. Sony could make different t variants of the band such as black or brushed metal making the watch more appealing something like that Apple watch. After seeing the G watch urbane and its basically the g watch R but in a different case. Sony could do that have different design cases. I have the Sw3 and love it but the look it's starting to get dull now that they are a lot of better looking watches. Sony have something great they can make it really good. What do you guys think?

I think they dropped the ball with the accessories.
If they had the alternate cradle and steel band being sold separately then they could market the utter crap out of it...
https://twitter.com/sonyxperiagb/status/595519485253165056
2nd/3rd week of May can't come soon enough...
Hopefully that means the strap alone and a worldwide release. Sony Xperia GB has really been the only official source I've seen any news about this since the Xperia blog in February saying that it was launching that week. A couple months ago they did say early May, so we really could be seeing this within 2 weeks now.
Really hope that Sony mean what they say as I've been eager to get the steel strap for ages, but without wanting to sound negative, "2nd or 3rd week in May" doesnt sound exactly concrete. I saw another tweet from them which said 5th May and that has gone by with still no word. Come on Sony, prove me wrong

Sounds good and hope they include more changeable bands and shapes
Sony UK webstore are now selling the SW3 with the holder and brown leather strap (for £229, same as steel one), but still no sign of selling them separately. They seem to have totally forgotten about existing owners of the watch who might want to buy different straps.
Its going to be later this month

They could but then they have to charge a pricepoint which some might complain about. Otherwise it wont make sense to get the steel band bundle. Funny thing though, i got the steel band and now i want to get a silicone for running

Rubber band is approx $30 on its own...
If they sold the metal or the leather for approx $40-$50 each I'd probably buy them.
Thats not undercutting the original at all.

If you can get the silicone bundle plus the metal strap cheaper than the metal bundle plus the silicone strap, nobody will get the metal bundle. Though if they make it cheap for people to buy straps, I myself would make sure I have everything. Silicone for exercise, metal for general use. Leather for formal.
I'm guessing the Steel band will officially be between £35 and £50. Hopefully other sellers might have it a bit cheaper. Not sure if I would pay more than £30.
Handtec are now selling the SW3 with brown leather strap, first place I have seen it on sale outside of Sony store. Still dont understand why they are taking so long to roll out the straps.
Well, we are getting closer to the end of the month and still no sign of the steel strap or holder being sold separately.
I'm too waiting for the holder to be sold! Damn! I want the leather band so much because the white silicone, is only good for sports and not for anything else.
Sony Time
Sony follow-up releases are measured in geological increments, unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.
Also, the metal strap is actually a decent looking/feeling piece of kit and it's custom-built for the watch. I'd be surprised if it's less than £60. I'm thinking £79.99 RRP.

INSANE!!!!
I originally purchased the Huawei Watch with black leather as I prefer leather bands to metal. All I ever really knew for metal watch bands was the normal steel links, which to me are heavy and rip the hairs out of my wrist. Not exactly something I would like to wear all day long. I have been curious about the Milanese style bands since I seen them advertised by Apple for the Apple Watch. Anyways, I started browsing Amazon to see what was on offer for the Huawei Watch. There are two styles as far as I can see. Milanese bands with a "clamp" style latch and a Milanese band that loops through with a magnetic "latch". I definitely was more attracted to the magnetic style band so I figured I would order it up and give it a go. The only thing I was worried about was the magnet being too weak and coming loose throughout the day, which is not the case at all. It also comes with the quick release style pins, so no tools are needed.
Needless to say, I love it! It makes the Huawei Watch look very sharp and unique in my opinion. It is very comfortable and provides a perfect fit due to the way it "latches". I am pretty sure it would provide a perfect fit for any wrist. It fits the watch so well that it appears as if it were made by the watch manufacture itself. Ever since I have swapped the leather band for the Milanese, I have had quite a few different people ask me about it and wondering "what kind of watch is that?". Also, if you compare it to the other Milanese Bands on Amazon, this one "fits" better. The band itself is slightly wider than the part that attaches to the watch / the part the pin goes through. This is how the original Huawei Watch bands are as well.
They are available in stainless steel, black, and rose gold. The stainless steel matches the standard Huawei Watch perfectly! The part that attaches to the lugs is a "brushed" finish like the sides of the Huawei Watch and not a glossy finish like the face. I actually prefer this, as it will not scratch nearly as easy. I am sure the black would match the black just fine as well. They were $17.99 when I purchased, but they are now $23.99. Still, worth every penny! I guess you could always go pay $129.99 + tax for the Huawei official Milanese band, which has an inferior clasping mechanism in my opinion.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178KWW3C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
Very cool. I've been interested in this style since I first saw the Apple version. I've looked online but all the ones I've found were using clips to latch. The magnetic band is very cool. I ordered one to give it a shot.
I would love to see some actual pictures of it on your wrist.
Can you post some pictures of the band on your watch?
Thanks for sharing! I have been searching some 2 months ago and could not find a magnetic loop band back then. I immediately ordered this band for HuaweI Watch and also for Apple iWatch and Gear S2 Classic... (Yesoo sells for all those watches!!)
I have a similar band by Hoco...black melanese mesh with magnetic clasp....couldn't recommend it enough! https://plus.google.com/111656357014042389917/posts/ePHuhxVeRpg - photo
I just received this very same band last week and love it! After purchasing a very similar 3rd party band for my wife's Apple watch, I thought this would be a great option for the Huawei watch and am very pleased. The magnetic clasp allows you to adjust for a near perfect fit on your wrist. This also has quick change pins, so it's very easy to swap back and forth between this and the original Huawei leather band when you want a different look. The only negative I've found so far is that the hair on my wrist gets snagged in the magnetic clasp if it's not aligned to the band perfectly.
Also bought it
I also bought one. The only thing I don't like are that some of the links stick up a little on mine near where the mesh is joined to the solid metal parts (You only notice if you look closely and from the right angle, though), and also the metal is slightly darker than the watch case.
Overall though, I'm pleased, especially considering I paid under $20 for it.
I can confirm. This is definitely the best band for this watch. I was thinking the magnetic band would come off, or the links would be messed up, but everything is perfect. As soon as I put it on I got a lot of complements about my watch. Too bad nobody know what a Huawei Watch is around where I live. They always give me a blank stare like I just spoke some foreign language.
I have both the clasp variant mesh band and this magnetic variant mesh band. The magnet is nice and easy to use, and it's very strong too, but the quality of the mesh is much higher on the clasp mesh band. Slightly thicker and feels sturdier, plus it's pretty much a 90% exact stock mesh band replica.
Sorry, I didn't even think to post pics. I will post some later today.

I have the hoco milances magnetic clasp band in stainless steel and I also really like it. My only complaint is that the magnetic clasp slips when I am doing any kind of physical work. I am a social worker my day but in the weekend I like dyi projects around the house. The watch slipping lose sometime is annoying. But over all the w a huawei watch looks great with this band.

I ordered this and have been using it for a few days.
The Magnetic band does come loose over time. I've had to tighten it a few times throughout the day.
I think I want to exchange mine because the magnetic clasp piece doesn't seem to be connected to the band very well. It isn't aligned properly and looks like 1 side is coming out. It isn't loose, but there is a brown (rust?) line that I can see. It is barely noticeable but I think it makes it look cheap.

I bought this one as well and really hated it. My review is on Amazon if anyone cares to read it (Cory S). I suppose I might had rated it better if I wasn't comparing it directly against the OEM mesh band...but probably not being they lied about the material it is made out of.

Nah looks the same shade. Just the shadows playing tricks on you.
I've been wearing this band for about a week. I have to adjust it a few times a day but it feels good. I haven't had any compliments on it either. The magnets get a little crazy taking it off. The band kinda all sticks to itself. I am getting faster at getting off and on one handed.
The thinness of the band really makes the Huawei looks super thick, hence why I liked my thick metal band. I also think it looks more feminine (IMO).
Thanks for this. Got the black one and loving it.

I've purchsed the clasp variant you mention here. The mesh is fine, as you write. Otherwise I consider the band pretty much useless, as taking on the watch is a project for a minute or more. Ok, I might not be the handiest guy, but the problems are:
- very tight clasp, the band barely goes through
- very awkward clasp system itself, very hard to use when watch is on the wrist (typical use case, isn't it?).
I can hardly use the claps even off-wrist. From what I can tell from the photos, original Huawei OEM band uses the same system, so it's possibly cheapishly implemented here.
I got the item "packed" in a soft plastic envelope, due to what (probably) it has a very ugly dent on the part which connects to the watch. One of the quick release handles on the hinge fell apart until I got home from work.
tl;dr;
Don't buy this totally noname chinese crap.
