Tune Belt Armband

Posting here in case you don't read the Vibrant forum.
I've been searching for an armband for my Vibrant for awhile and decided to get the Tune Belt Armband.
This is the one I got:
https://www.tunebelt.com/domino/tunebelt/shop.nsf/parts/3FBB580A8B45C3DA852577AD00660D14
So far it's a very good armband except in one area. The length of the band itself is kind of short. If you have decent sized biceps, I highly recommend getting the extension. It only costs a few dollars more so it's well worth the investment in case your arm is too big. This should fit just fine on most women.
The armband fits with my Vibrant still inside it's case which is exactly what I was looking for.
Here are some pics.

Hopes this helps anyone looking for the right armband.

How well does it cope with water? Not just the kind from above, but also sweat from where it touches skin.
How much does it take to make the phone fall out? Looks like its "just" a flap with no velcro securing it in place?

I used to have a neoprene case exactly like this for an ipod and they don't deal with water...

It would take a LOT for it to fall out. The "flap" actually curves over the top of the phone because of the stitching and holds the phone very securely. I shook it as hard as I could and the phone did not budge.
To get the phone out, I have to hold the flap open and push the phone from the bottom, otherwise it doesn't come out.
As far as moisture, I would not run a marathon with any neoprene armband (at least not with a $500 phone in it). But for gym use, I think it's sufficient.
I'm going to run it through the gym the next few weeks and see how it holds up.
The build quality looks to be on par with my other 2 armbands and they've survived for a number of years now. Only time will tell.

PS, its coming in the following colors:
Black, Sapphire Blue, Burgundy, Amethyst
and
you can get it with or without a holster.

Any idea how long its going to take to come to market? Is it more like a few weeks or months. Is was just about to get a skinomi skin for the phone and a leather carrying case 4 work but I will be more interested in this if this and the holster would be available within the next few weeks

No going to make it.
I called and the person on the phone said they won't be making the case. Hope they are wrong.

I had emailed them on thursday or friday and receive a quick reply back stating that it isnt available yet but to keep checking back on the website because it is updated first.

Ok great i figured the guy i talked to really don't know what was going on.

According the the website, they are NOW SHIPPING in BLACK.
And i just contacting them and as the website says, IN STOCK.

I just received my combo case.. It's very nice, the purple(amethyst) is shipping now also...

I just received this case in the mail. Any tips on how to remove this thing?

I had to basically destroy mine to get it off. Its an awesome case if you never want to remove it...

No need to be so dramatic...
It IS basically impossible to remove without tools, but pretty easy with a little help.
I used a razor blade to carefully lift the bottom piece of the shell up so it would release the latch from the top piece (without doing ANY damage to the phone or case). Next time I need to get it off, I think I'm going to try a thin guitar pick, since I won't have to be so carefull with those rounded edges...
I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
EDIT:
I think I like the tight fit on my phone, but for those of you who anticipate having to get at the sim, sd, and battery often - you might think about putting a piece of scotch tape between the two halves of the shell. The case will still hold on pretty well, but you won't have ANY problem getting it apart without tools in a hurry...

Beer Case (heavy-duty)

Was checking out eBay cases and found this gem.

I'm not associated with this seller/auction, HOWEVER, I have purchased this exact case (but in all black) from this specific seller and can recommend both. It's a three-piece case with silicone in the middle and a hard (but slightly grippy still) front/back that snap together. I think this is really the most protective case available so far for the Nexus 4. And unlike many other cases that snap, this one makes me feel a bit more confident that the small plastic pieces aren't going to break like they do on so many cheap cases. That said, I've only had this case for a week, so we'll see...
The cutouts are perfect, buttons feel great, and if I were going to drop my phone or knock it off of the table, I'd really be hoping I have this case on it when I do! Ultimately, I got this as my going-to-the-gym case, otherwise I use a Meifeng. But it is a beast of a case - don't get this to be anything but a beast, and a mug o' beer, of course!
If you want to search for the other designs for this case, search for "e960 case tuff" (no quotes) on eBay.
Also, I *am* able to charge my phone on the LG Qi pad with this case on. It must be *perfectly* placed but it charges just fine then. If you take the back hard plastic piece off, then you can move it around much more.

"Oh Yeah! Time for a Beer!"

LOL... Might lose it in a night club or at a bar!

Only if we knew if it fit any of the Seidio holsters active or surface, I'd be all over this like white on rice (don't worry, I'm Asian lol)

That case looks awesome!
Could you post some pictures of how it fits onto the phone?

Interesting.:laugh:

Found this on ebay yesterday, really like the case and am going to buy it! I thought of getting the beer style, but as I will take this case with me on drinking nights, I advised myself not to buy the beer style, because I might be raising my phone instead of my glass occasionally!

It wouldn't take you long to realize your mistake...

Just received the white black version of this case. Its actually pretty nice. It feels good in hand and looks like it would protect the phone pretty well.
The only cons are, it has a weird smell, pretty strong plastic smell and also proximity sensor doesn't work too well, like for it doesn't work for phone calls.
FYI
So back to the Poetic Bumper

Do they offer it in darker colors?

With the beer, no. But in solid colors, yes. As I stated, I own the solid black version.

I have one too. So far so good, though I didn't use the screen protector that came with it.
Is there a docking cradle that works with this case? I bought the one recommended by Samsung (EDD-D200BEGSTD) but it doesn't fit at all. There's a ridge in front of the USB connector that pushes up against the keyboard. I don't think it would fit even with the case off...

you mind posting links to cases that fit well?
i didn't get a case for the new cell so far since i always had trouble with them falling off when sliding the keyboard in and out after a while or didn't really fitting at all.
but if there's one that you ppl could recommend... my new electronic toy could use a lil extra protection

Case/cover.
I'm trying to find that case in UK as from us it will be about £20 !
Does anyone know where to buy it in UK or any online site but cheaper.
If not I will go for it as need to protect my precious (still waiting to be delivered).
Can anybody post some photos of that case as even on google pictures they not show it cover fully unit.
Or maybe someone have any alternative?
Regards
Mac
UPDATE
I just bought SA-321
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...alpro-hard-shell-case-with-silicone-core.html
And even found discount code 20% less !
So I am happy now, no need to buy screen protector even.

Looks pretty good honestly, I may get one of those feather cases.

(If you want to buy one there, you may want to use the coupon code "inc20" - saves you 20%.) (expired)

Just ordered the SA-321 for my wife's Relay. Btw, the coupon code no longer is active.

I have just received an SA-321 case. It's of very good quality and I like the rubbery-but-not-too-much feeling of it. Compared to the SA-316, it covers the power and volume buttons. It makes the power button a lot easier to press and the slide-out mechanism feels somewhat more solid.
I like it a lot.

Agree. Though a bit pricey, my wife fell in love with it instantly. Great feel, good protection, and looks great too.:good:

Custom Holster For Honor X2 and TPU Case

Heres my latest creation with a thift store find (I don't know what the black thing was made for but it was almost the same size as the phone and it was $.78), a needle and thread, and a laptop bag strap to make the holster. I'm going to stetch one more piece at bottom on both sides.

Nice ... looks professional and very usable. Better then the one they sell on amazon. Nice job. Next step mass production for all the other X2 owners

That's my dream. Phablet holsters. Only one out and it is not stylish.

Looks nicely done! I will usually carry mine in a waist pouch but that's obviously only viable during the weekends. Fortunately the X2 still fits in my pant's back pocket (when I'm walking) and the front pocket (when I needed to sit down).
"What's that bulge in your pants? Are you just happy to see me or is that an X2?"

HAHAHA Good One!!! X2 Jokes

I bought one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7MFAKU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
Its a bit of a tight fit when you first get it, but it really only needs an extra millimeter or two of width to make it perfect. I took mine to my local shoe repair guy who stretched it for me, and now it's perfect! It's a great case too. The fact that it can swivel and come off the belt clip has turned out to be really important since the phone is so big.

Does it just have enough space for the phone without a TPU on it or can it have a TPU.

Well, It's pretty tight, but it loosens up with use, and you could probably get a tpu on in it if you stretch it a bit more.

I'll give it a shot. I like having backups for everything in my arsenal for the phone just incase something breaks. I bought a lcd screen and keeping it on the shelf in the event I break it. $56.00 dollars for it on aliexpress, you can't go wrong for the phone for that price. I'd rather fix it myself, then send it back to china and wait 2-3 months or get it back at all.
