Ordered this on 4/27...with expedited shipping (I'm impatient, so sue me =P), it came to $20. Has anyone on here ordered one of these yet? If so, what did you think of it?

My sentiments exactly. I have a generic waist bag with a clip on it for normal, every-day use; I use the android slip for whenever I'm in formal wear; and I want to use this for at the gym (since I use workout programs on the phone and the stock headphones with track control anyway).
Well go for it and let me know how it is I need a new one soon because in 2 days I'm starting my P90X workout again and Love to listen to the perfect beat of music for it.
-Charlie
Got it in today....might have some pics for you tomorrow but I love it so far.

LOL someone doesn't exercise!!!
Let us know how it goes OP.
Is it secure?
I'd love to get an armband for running (ahh, love California) but worry about it falling out and just being heavy while swinging my arms.
pls let us know how it works while running!
I ordered one too so I'll let you guys know how it works when I receive it!
It's fantastic. Not only is it comfortable and fits the phone perfectly, but has just enough "give" that I can view a text message or look at what routines or weights I should be doing, and even type SMS responses (though I usually just go the lazy method and use voice input). I've also been using the stock Android headphones, so I clip the cord to the armband using the supplied clip (and I wrap the slack around the back of the phone). When I'm done, I pop the phone out of the silicone sleeve and toss it in my gym bag.
As far as the weight goes, the phone itself is the heaviest part, but it feels no heavier than my second generation Zune did. It IS kinda bulky, but hasn't gotten in the way of anything yet, and I don't expect it to. Just situate it on the very side of your arm, and it really can't interfere with anything. It does feel very secure, requiring a fair amount of "tug" to get the phone out of the silicone sleeve....not too much or too little, just right....definitely not gonna fall out, though - besides, if you have headphones in, the headphones themselves provide a natural tether to keep the phone in the silicone.
I've been a bit busy this last week (I just graduated from college on Sunday =D), which is why I don't have pics up, but if I remember, I'll pull the sleeve out of my gym bag when I come home tonight and take some pics for you guys. To me, this thing has been worth every penny.
How tight is the fit?
Do you think there would be problems with fitting a phone in that had a clear protector skin on it? I'm currently using the BestSkinsEver.com one.
And congrats on the graduation! Just graduated myself this past summer!
Thank you for this, I wonder when they were gonna make one of these I hate putting my nexus in my pocket while working out... We need this to show it off. lol.
I have a full body shield from Skinomi on mine and it fit just fine. As I said, it felt snug enough to be secure with just enough "give". Also, when you have headphones in, those act as an anchor.
Had to do my brakes and change over my brother's tires, so no pics today...hopefully tomorrow.

Try a bluetooth headset!
Here's the one I use when I go running:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S305-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B002BH3I9U
No wires!!! I love it!!!
It can even do calls too!
I'll have to look into it, everyone I've tried has been tinny and I can't stand not having good quality music
-Charlie
Motorola's and Sony's are generally pretty good quality.
Pics at long last!!!
Oh, and remember, I have a skinomi shield on my phone...so this case definitely works with protectors.
Case by itself:
Case with phone in it (note the holes for all corresponding ports):
Obviously, it's pretty secure:
Headphone "anchor":

I like the velvet sheets
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.
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/412983/XtremeMac-Sportwrap-For-iPhone-Black/
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!
I've just been getting a bike (pedal bike) and would quite like to use my DHD on the bike, for GPS , etc is there a case or mount or anything that will go on a pedal bike , or if not is there a decent case I could strap round my arm, that would protect my phone in case of rain/falls

Bike mount
Hi,
I have found this fits a little tighter and feel like the phone wont flop about http://www.buybits.com/product/9264.aspx it is only £20 in the UK and I found in my local store a voucher to get some money off. Might still work "TESCO 1" at the checkout bit.
Anyways decent mount have used it on a mountain bike for gps and no issues with the case or mount. just not tried it yet when wet.
That's exactly what I'm after, cheers mate, will order one at the weekend I think.

Very cool. I've been thinking about taking videos while cycling (both looking into the camera or the camera pointing forward) like this guy (fast forward to 2:09) and this looks to be just right for that. I also use a tpu case so I'm hoping it will also fit inside the frame.
Thanks.

Getting slightly OT, but I think a camera mount on the helmet is the best bet for recording a trip, since it would point where you're looking (not where the handlebars are pointing) and bounce about much less.
Depends if it's road or mountain-biking I suppose...
On that point, I have often wondered about just how vulnerable a handlebar-mounted phone would be in the case of a fall: I have a feeling that beyond the shock of the fall, I don't think it would actually receive a direct impact, unless the fall was unusually spectacular. I've had a few and the stem-handlebar area doesn't seem to actually hit the ground.
I do wonder, though, on just how much vibration is healthy for a high end phone....
Yeah the helmet cam is a good idea (like many skydivers use) but to be honest I don't wear a helmet or head gear.
The guy in the video has quite a few cycling vids (he's just almost finished crossing the States on his bike) and his cam stability is pretty good and tripod based. I don't mind the shaking and vibration or wind too much. I use a mountain bike and it wouldn't be serious stuff - just out and about sometimes. To be honest - the glare on the screen makes me imagine the experience to be not so brilliant when using the display - unless riding at night maybe - but the screen should time out otherwise the battery won't last long. I'm hoping the TPU case would add extra padding.

I got this on Tuesday and it works spot on. Feels very sturdy and secure attached to my bike, I can confirm it is indeed very waterproof as I got caught up in some horrible rain and when I got home the phone was bone dry.

Why not try a bluetooth headset, and get a usb charger for the phone instead. Usb chargers can be bought from ebay.
Hey, I was wondering if any other nexus users also drove a motorbike? Any suggestions for how to mount (securely) and charge it would be greatly appreciated. I have a Honda CBR250R if it makes a difference. Currently considering a Ram mount but i dont think they make a nexus 4 model...
http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResu...77045072079076045085078055066085/Default.aspx
This seems to be the best i could find, not 100% it will fit. But it seems adjustable. And heaps sturdy.
If anyone has a better suggestion, just post or PM

Don't you have a waterproof case or do you never drive in the rain?
I also have a nexus and I am looking for a waterproof case, mountable on motorbike, and cable connected to battery.
Something like this : www.rammount.com/Products/AQUABOX/MediumAQUABOX/tabid/4885/Default.aspx , but I don't know if this is big enough to fit nexus 4 and a usb chargercable in it. According to the specifications it would be a very close fit, but maybe if i remove a little bit from the inside bottom it might work.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
Tim

So did you find anything?
Well, I ordered a Ultimate Addons tough case for galaxy s3 with handlebar mount.The S3 is slightly smaller so there is more room for an adaptercable in case to connect to battery when u use nexus. But the S3 is also about 1/2 mm thinner so i can close the case but it leaves some space between edges because if bit to thick. There is a big rubber plate in case to secure phone (1/2 cm) where i was able to scratch off the right amount to fit the nexus in perfectly. Rear camera is still usable, volume buttons not and audio jack not, front camera half visible.
The phone now fits perfect in case and u can touch and slide. Because of not reaching power button i use the shake app wgen i use case and so I just shake to unlock screen. I attached the handlebar to my motorcycle, looks nice and firm, but was having doubts for putting my phone in the case for the first ride, so i just connected case but without phone in it and went riding. All worked great, u can twist phonecase in any direction at and then fix it at good viewpoint, problem is I have feeling it is never fixed solid enough, if i touch it a little , it moves, but it never moved when driving, I drive a honda transalp 650 and I quite push it to limit on speedbumps etc. I haven't tested it with my phone in it yet because on the first testride i got hit by car (his fault, again..) and slammed to ground and ended 40 metres further with bike against rail, i was lucky having very good protection, and the case was still intact and didnt move . My bike lost two mirrors and scratched and bruised all over, but in the end, good test, too bad my phone was not in it. I will test it when my bike gets back from garage

Recommend the best car mount here for Galaxy S 5.
A bit more expensive, but the CraigsDocks Dock is billet aluminum and low-profile and is true one-hand operation and adjustable to work with S2, S3, S4, Note series and now the S5.
http://www.craigsdocks.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-s4-note-2-3-car-dock/
I've had mine a year and won't have to buy a new one when I upgrade to the S5 because it fits all large Samsung superphones.
It's also adjustable to work with ALL cases, including the extra large cases that have built-in batteries.

The air dock is what ultimately tipped the balance for me getting an S5, after seeing it I knew built-in Qi charging was a must have and since Sprint only offers the Nexus 5 in 16GB flavor (not nearly enough, I've got 15GB of stuff on my SD card today which easily exceeds the 12GB formatted capacity, not to mention 2 years from now).
Hope they will make something like this one :

It looks nice but the expense of it, $70 +20 for the charging coil, then still need a car charger so there's another $30(for an OEM)its a lot of money.
I got one of these a while back and its quite good, just make sure to hold the back of the phone whilst removing or sometimes the back cover comes lose on a clip or two with S4, the magnetism is quite strong.

Because its so hard to plug in USB lol, is it really worth an extra $75? Also there's no way that thing could output 2A so charging is going to be much slower, just my opinion.

notice my cd changer is curved out but the rubber "fins" still fit snug and very sturdy. They are rubber and do no damage. if for some reason it just will not fit in there on your car model, you can always send it back worry free (with Prime) but it shouldn't be a problem. the grip has a light rubber pad and is controlled by a spring action adjustment. I love it because i can easily place my phone into it by pushing my phone up and in. I take it out with the same motion, press up and pull out. it is made in Korea and the material and parts are very well made.
I really don't know why some of the people here are buying 50-70 dollar suction phone mounts. that is a total rip off.

thanks for the detailed write-up and pics! I have the phone and iPad version sitting in my Amazon wishlist right now... maybe will push them to checkout next payday
Upon inspection of both of my vehicles, it looks like it will work really well and actually sit at a great height (within arms and eyes reach) and not block any controls to anything else (only blocking a clock in my Civic and a clock/temp screen in my Highlander)
thanks again :good:

notice my cd changer is curved out but the rubber "fins" still fit snug and very sturdy. They are rubber and do no damage. if for some reason it just will not fit in there on your car model, you can always send it back worry free (with Prime) but it shouldn't be a problem. the grip has a light rubber pad and is controlled by a spring action adjustment. I love it because i can easily place my phone into it by pushing my phone up and in.

I ordered a similar one, well basically identical, and it fits superbly in my 2008 honda accord exl. It sits just below all the controls. I was some what worried about it not reaching out far enough as the cd player is recessed when compared with all the radio and nav controls. But it's about as perfect as possible. The best part about this mount in my opinion is that it keeps a person like myself from having to many items on the windshield. Without this I'd have- Radar Detector, Phone, toll tag, and gps, way to many things, phone being the largest of them all. Anyway, I'll take some pictures and maybe a mini review later. I highly recommend to anyone who want a good out of the way docking solution.

thanks! I'd love to see pictures. I have an '08 civic ex... by looking at my dash, it seems like it would sit above all my controls and only cover up that little screen that shows the radio station and the time.

I'll take pictures when I get home this afternoon. I forgot my camera at home today. Was a bit flustered this morning. But I'll get you some pics for sure.
