Jogging Armband for the N1

Doing a bit of research and came across these:
* Tuneband for Nexus One (US Amazon)
http://www.amazon.com/Tuneband-Grantwood-Technologys-Silicone-Protector/dp/B003GMHJAS
* iGadgitz (UK Amazon)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/iGadgitz-Neoprene-Sports-Jogging-Armband/dp/B003QJ6MR2/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1
* Belkin Sports Armband for iPhone 3GS (UK Amazon)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002CVCK...de=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B002CVCK0S
And a few others.
Also - a lot of iPhone straps, but not a lot of confirmation, despite the similar dimensions, that the N1 will fit snuggly.
Anyone tried any of these who can advise on which are good \ bad? Any good ones I have missed?

There was a lot of arkmband discussion on another thread...maybe some scoop there.
Found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672443&highlight=armband

I rock the tuneband, its solid enough... i wish the strap was wider for a bit more support for the phone but definitely does the job...
I put on the screen protector as well for ****s and giggles and its actually not bad

Just Ordered the Iarmband one. Will let you know how it fits when it gets here.

Have you done hard sprinting with it? I love my Tuneband, but haven't dared to run full sprint with it.

Slip it in between your heart rate monitor band its not in the best position but it works for me.

yea it jostles around a bit... i would recommend you strap it high enough to tuck a sleeve over it

I run with the Belkin armband (from when I had an iPhone), and sony bluetooth earphones. I find it fits the Nexus quite snugly, the sound quality is great even while sprinting and no cables!

for those of you with a tuneband, does the phone fit with a case?

It fits perfectly, but I haven't dared to do hard sprinting with it yet, since it's not a full coverage. It's like a silicon sleeve and the band goes through the back of the sleeve.

This works perfectly for me. The normal way of using it with the iPhone will not work with the nexus because the hole for the 3.5mm jack is on the wrong side. Rather than destroy the thing, I put it on upside-down and it has two holes on the bottom, one of which I can use. Also this way the flap that allows you to slide the phone in and that's supposed to keep the phone inside the thing is on the top and somewhat secure thanks to the 3.5mm plug. Also, I've used it on about 15-20 different runs and it's never bothered me or showed any signs of wear.

Got it.. Ran 3 miles today, did back and biceps! Cord NEVER got in my way, and stayed plugged in the whole time!! **** YEA
Never even felt it was there, i can still swype text. Never really even thought it would be comfortable. I had to put it up higher than my bicep... If you have over 17" Biceps this would be a uncomfortable product.

has anyone else found any decent ones?

Try the one I linked to. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

non of these places ship to Australia

I use the Belkin Sport Armband - but I wear it around my wrist so the N1 ends up riding like a big flat watch. The RunKeeper app is really well done, and wearing it like this allows me to see pace and distance, etc.
I haven't tried it with headphones yet.

I just got my Tuneband a couple of days ago. The days I got it I used it one the treadmill for a 30min jog at 6mph and no issues. Yesterday I used it at the gym on the weight machines and no issues either. I figure if it the N1 did pop out at least the speaker wire should keep it from hitting the floor. But it felt solid the whole time. Good product, especially when it was 12.99(?) on sale at amazon.

I ended up buying some iphone armband for like $7aud. Went for a 10KM jog the other weekend, and i cant fault it!!!
I had to cut a hole for the nexus one head fone jack but other than that perfect! Just on the outside of the where the phone sat was sweaty but inside not one drop!

armband?

Anyone found a suitable armband to go running/work out in while keeping my lovely g2x safe and sound from falling out or getting my sweat all over?
or if you have a universal sized armband and are having success with your g2x in it please do share your experiences!

though it is nylon and i dont know how i feel about nylon... i would prefer neoprene...

looking for an armband as well. All I saw were those few amazon entries and one bad review that said the phone sticks up above the cover. I might go to target and try a bunch for the iphone.

Well I am going to take one for the team, I ordered the one that amazon has listed with the ONE bad review... for 17 bux shipped so its whatever...
i went to best buy today and opened a bunch of boxes of stuff and nothing seemed to really fit... i tried the miCoach for the IP4 and it was a huge fail
I pondered using my tunebelt from my nexus one and just getting a different silicone case but with the phone being as big as it is and 12 grams heavier that it may be a little too flimsy and flopping around for my liking...
I want something with the form factor that the amazon armbands or miCoach has where the phone fits into a sleeve and wont flop around... assuming the phone does not stick out literally an inch and the phone will stay in when I am jogging or doing plyometrics, i will be happy with my purchase...
full review to come when i get it...

Thanks looking forward to the review.

Thanks for your upcoming review I appreciate that

Ok so here is my review of the VanGoddy Armband for the G2x/O2X/EVO4g/Atrix/any other giant ass phone!
(Picture album is linked on the bottom of the post)
First off I would like to state what sort of view I am coming from as to eliminate any bias by stating my biases from the get go. I am a slim, athletic body type, 14 inch biceps, 6 foot, 160 pounds. I typically will be doing a lot of running with this device and I referee soccer and will often strap it on while I run a game so I can track my positioning, distance, ect. so I wanted a band that would not be too gaudy and I could hide a bit under my sleeves (underarmor and uniform sleeves). Since again running was my main use with some use in the gym I wanted stability while holding the device so it was not sliding around, flopping around or possibly flying out of the pocket. The other main feature I was looking for was material quality and anybody that works out knows neoprene is clutch especially for people who sweat a large amount, like myself, when I work out or go running. Tad bit of personal information for ya there!
The unboxing and first impressions: VanGoddy shipped it in a bubble wrap envelope, nothing fancy and the item did not need anything fancy. Right away when I looked the thing over I could tell that the pocket to hold the phone looked a tad large for my phone and that the plastic screen was cheap and small. Just putting the armband on, I put it on as tight as I could get the velcro to go and it was a perfect fit, very snug and even tighter when I flexed how my arms would be while running.
Upon slotting the phone in I noticed two things, the clear screen cover does in fact suck, and the phone will fall out of the slot naturally. The device was definitely made with a "universally wide" pouch and I would argue favors the wider phones such as the Atrix, Evo4g and DX; our slim phones got the shaft in this design. I put the armband back on, tightened up, even loosened it a hair from where I had it last time and boom! it actually felt pretty good. Swinging my arm around the phone was pretty snug, I could not get it to fall out regardless of what I was doing which earned it some "do points" in the do or die ratings! I would clear this for use in the gym for bench pressing and doing other strange arm angle lift routines.
Onto the screen cover. This was my biggest grip with this thing. You do not get a lot of cover real estate to work with and the way the cover was stitched into the armband was absolutely thoughtless because it does not even come close to sitting flush with the screen. The part that is stitched around the screen on the outside is a flexible plastic and on the inside they overlapped material so that the screen is not sitting against the plastic cover screen. (See picture overlap flap) This caused another problem that annoyed me a little, if the phone shifted in the slot too much to one way or the other the edge of the phone would get caught on one of these flaps on the inside around the screen edge and offset the phone. It did this twice during my little 3 mile jog while I was trying to skip a song. Getting to the notifications bar while in the slot is damn near impossible, I had no trouble hitting the softkeys but the notification bar is inaccessible. This is partly due to the long "ass" our phones have so the top part of our screens will not be within the clear cover's viewing range.
I did and do not play with the phone much while running because I have very satisfying playlists. Handling touches through the screen was about on par with other covers of similar thickness. I did not really have a problem executing touch commands but changing the volume was a little weird since I had to essentially just squeeze and guess where the volume buttons were on the side. On the bright side, because the screen is not very tight to the screen and the neoprene resists water, I never noticed the screen to fog up on me.
All in all for $17 something cents shipped this is not a terrible armband by any means. It is no 30-40 dollar custom phone fitting armband but it is not so cheap that I just pitched it laughing at what I bought, I would say I got what I paid for and maybe a bit more. Score wise I would give this guy a 7/10. It is good but it definitely has some shortcomings. If you are skinny and dont have at least a 13inch bicep I would not recommend you purchase this device, for fear of it sliding off of your arm. Get used to running with this on your left arm, I found the cord positioning much better and it was getting tangled less around my arm.
Some things I would have liked to see and would be a more quality screen cover. A bit more velcro (one more inch) to possibly go tighter for maybe some more extreme sports or intense working out and for smaller biceps. A slot for a Key is always a nice addition but I usually find a place in whatever pair of shoes I have; sliding it behind the phone you would risk it flying out, I would bet money that it flies out on smaller biceps.
If you are looking for something to get the job done then this is the device for you because it does exactly that. It does not do it extremely well, wow, or impress me in any way but it for 17 bucks it served my needs. Again 7/10 from me...

G2 Arm Band?

Anyone else use the G2 with an arm band? I'm thinking of it since I don't want to go out and buy an ipod nano.
Which one are you using and how's the fit?
I have a feeling the G2 feels a bit too heavy for comfortable running, but it's worth a try to ask!

G2 is a bit heavy for armband imo
l think they cost around £10-20 so if you want to use it for running i would just
buy an ipod shuffle £30 or sony Walkman W-series £27 it is waterproof (if where you live rains all the time like here in scotland) and it doesnt have any wire.

^------------ Pretty much what he said. another option though, as it may sound silly is to have a light belt with a side pouch to put the phone in and keep it secured. you can probably combine that with your housekeys and necessary cards and have a 1 pouch for all.

edit: something along the same vein as http://www.bargainstation.com/Produ...-Detachable-Shoulder-StrapNylonBlack-Platinum
not exactly this one, but the same idea. I have a plain one that has 2 slots. a big one for whatever electronic i have and a tiny one for keys or cards.

I just hold it in my hand, and I'm a girl. Not very comfortable but it's not the end of the world.
nano and shuffle don't have GPS on them and I can't google tracks or CardioTrainer on them.

I would like a functioning armband also. I can't hold the phone in my hand when I'm on a bike. I have a Nano for music, but I'm also wanting to use Endomondo or Sports Tracker

Check your local walmart, ive found quite a few iphone 4 pouches that fit my dz fine. Usually the cheaper no name brands fit, as theyre usually too big for the iphone because theyre so cheap lol. But i mean hey...whatever works right?

I used one for my G1 and loved it. When I upgraded to the G2, I got an iarmband to fit it. I also use my iarmband to 'mount' my phone on exercise machines at the gym using the strap doubled over and velcroed with the additional tab.

I began using a football wrist coach with my Touch Pro a few years ago and my G2 fits nicely, as well. (google or bing "football wrist coach" to see more versions than you'll ever need) I stumbled on this while trying to find something in my stash of extra parts to secure the relatively brick-like Touch Pro to my upper arm and reduce the flopping during runs. The wrist coach holds everything securely and I'm not constantly having to readjust it.
When running, I have it rotated so the clear panel is facing away from my body to prevent the phone from hitting my torso. When riding, I have it rotated so the clear panel is on the inside of my wrist, which is convenient for quickly glancing down at the screen while in the aerobars or drops.
Cons:
- the come in several sizes, so you need to find a sporting goods store to assure you choose one that will fit your device and your arm
- you may need an extension cable for your headphones if you want to listen to music on your device while running; the swing of your arm can pull the earphones out of your ears easily - not a problem while riding typically.
e.g. My high-end Shure earphone cables are modular and work perfectly, whereas my mid-range $50 Sony's cables are too short for running comfortably.
As always, YMMV

Finally received and tried the iarmband. It works for my runs. I like that the touch screen works through clear screen cover. Issues are the headphone hole is not perfectly aligned. It is a little tight on the arm, could have more ajustability. Overall I am very happy with this solution, issues are minor. I would recommend.

I have the Arkon SM-Armband and it works amazing and is only $14.95. Maybe find it cheaper on ebay or amazon. Here is the link to view videos and purchase:
<P><P>http://www.arkon.com/sports_armband/tmobile_g2_armband.html

I bought the Arkon SM armband for my G2...
I had read this thread plus the one over at androidforums.com before selecting it.
Here is the link.
EDIT, guess i need to make a couple more posts to put in a link....ok so here is the link text then for someone to copy if desired.
amazon.com/Arkon-Sm-Armband-Blackberry-Motorola-Smartphones/dp/B004VFFT3I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1327086415&sr=8-2
It works ok, although to make it real tight like i like it I put on 2 wristbands first (even though its up on my bicep area), then slide the thing on. Also, any case for the G2 must be taken off for it to slide in....even then its quite a tight fit. Not something you just pop in and go, gotta work it a tad. This is due to phone width, not.....face size....I guess.
Overall, pleased for the 16 bucks i dropped on it.

I bought a cheap armband a while ago off Ebay similar to this.
Works perfectly for me. Touchscreen works through the transparent plastic window.
Had to cut off a very small piece of the neoprene for the headphone plug to fit.

[Q] Arm band case for the gym?

Are there any arm band cases for the Sensation yet? I hate putting my phone in my pocket at the gym, and lately I've been leaving it in the locker, but I hate the music they play there.
I saw Motorola has a universal one, but it covers the touch screen.
Any ideas or suggestions? There seems to be a lot of universal cases.

bad idea in my opinion. I repair electronics for a living. Salt water damage is a tough fix, (sweat) - i have always been against wearable electronics for this reason. the dtr(duration til failure) is increased exponentially when used in active environments.
I sweat like a faucet when i exercise. and unless the case is waterproof, i wouldn't risk it.

I have used one bought from Ebay. It was about 6$ and does it's job well. Unfortunately it ripped once I was trying to take my phone off. So if you wanna just disposable item bought one like mine or find item with better quality.
Can't post the link for mine because I'm new user.

Arkon's XL-Armband fits the Sensation. I have one with the Incipio NGP case and it fits with the case on.
We designed the armband to fit most phones with screen sizes from 3.7" - 4.3". I've tested it with the Sensation as seen above, Thunderbolt (with TPU case), Droid 3, Droid X 2 and a couple others and they fit.

I bought the Tune Belt armband from amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZJGZ8O
I was a little worried about it fitting before I got it, but it fits perfectly. It is comfortable to wear. I use it for running. I have worn it for a few 10 mile runs and a bunch of shorter runs without any problems at all. The touch screen can be used through the plastic cover and you can plug the headphones in easily. it slides down inside and the flap covers the top to keep it from ever falling out. It is about 23.00 after shipping, but it is well worth it. I have used cheaper ones, but the plastic always cracks and they never fit quite right.

Awesome. Thanks for the input guys.

I don't sweat that much, actually. (Which is odd because I go through a lot of water.)
I figure these things are sweat-proof from the bottom, in the first place though.

[Q] Sensation compatible armband?

Hello!
I am searching for a good armband compatible with HTC Sensation, I have found on the net the Adidas Griffin one but dunno if it's good for Sensation or not?
Also I have a little big arm because of gym...

I created a thread for this a while ago. Didn't look like anyone had anything specifically for the Sensation.
Bump for a recount! I'd love to see this happen. I really don't like putting my phone in my pocket at the gym.

http://iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-HTC-Sensation-4G-CAB-Sensation.htm

So nobody tried the Micoach by Adidas? It's stated at mobilefun that the Sensation fits in it, reading the sgs2 reports they say it fits but the earphones cable doesn't fit, yes I know sgs2 is bulkier than Sensation but dunno...

Just make sure to get the XL for the Sensation. They have smaller sizes also for iPhone and other ones. Found this at Amazon, not the cheapest but should work. I'm in for one. The reviews seems to be good.

I hope my sis will find it in NYC, here in Lebanon we have ONLY iphone armbands

I found another that seems to fit perfectly for our phone. I like the fact there is a velcro for easy installation and removal of the phone. It's almost the same price as the other one.

Haha! I don't think my arms are that big. Both the arm bands fit well. The iGadget one has a shorter strap. With my arms, (slightly larger than most) I have to use close to the end of the velcro.

Yeah me too I have some muscles thanks to gym so I will choose the longest wrist, which is??
I have found some cheap armband over ebay, this one looks like a good quality one with neoprene but I wonder if the belt is long enough...

The Arkon will cost me 30-35$ from ebay which is too expensive for an armband, the problem I have found with all the Sensation compatible armbands is that the transparent plastic cover is thick and bulby, though this ebay one and Tune Belt look better

Hey guys, would anyone be able to post pictures of the 2? Is there a preference you have, the i gadget vs the Akron? Need to buy one this week. Thanks.

When you chose your Armband beware people of your sweat!
I had the Desire before and I got an ILuv ArmBand made for iPhone 3GS of VERY high quality that I overpaid about 34€ (which should be around 46$). I decided to go for the quality since it was meant to protect my much more expensive device....all neoprene and I thought it was the best choice....which in the end led me to pay around 180€ more for the replacemente of the MoB of the Desire due to "water" (sweat) infiltration!! Yes: I do sweat a lot when I train myself...but anyway WTF: it was meant to protect it!!
Obviously I couldn't do anything about it cause it was meant to be used with an iPhone and not with my Desire...but...all this to say: be carefull in the choice of your armband..!
I'm searching too an Armband for my Sensation: so far I got a TuneBelt which seems fine but since its a "universal" armband it doesn't really fit exactly with the cellphone and another chinese crap that was meant to be totally waterproof (more plastic than neoprene) and made on purpose for the Sensation but it's too small and it doesn't fit in.
Looking forward to know about the Amazon ones you pointed out!!
