Hi all,
Anyone have a good suggestion for an arm band carrying case for my G2? I found threads for other phones, but not sure what phones are a comparable size to the G2. All help is appreciated!
Seems like I can't post links because of my post count.
But I bought a Tune Belt and it works great for the G2. Search Amazon for "Tune Belt AB83".
Will check it out. I appreciate the input.

One other thought is to use something like the motorola S9 bluetooth headset. I run and bike with mine, and then I can put my phone in any old pocket or pack that is protected. It is one of the best solutions that I have found except that there are a few bugs with how the G2 handles stereo bluetooth headsets.
I have been using this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ZYHSNK/ref=aw_cr_d_sporting-goods?qid=1300337075&sr=8-2
I have a case on the phone and it still fits. Screen reponsiveness through the plastic sucks, but I couldn't find anything better.
So I went with the generic armband from Arkon. http://www.arkon.com/sports_armband/tmobile_g2_armband.html It fits very snugly, and you have to punch a hole for the headphones, but other than that it seems to work well. The screen responsiveness sucks like others, but I think that has to do with the type of screen we have than the armband itself.
Here are a couple of lousy pics I took so you all could see:

Has anybody tried Griffin's miCoach Armband?

If it fits the Droid X, it should fit the G2 no? Maybe I'll see if any local stores have this arm band.
i'm actually looking to see if there is one that might fit the DZ with the otterbox case on it.... since it adds quite abit more bulk to it.
Dang running with the g2 on your arm? Why not just get a ipod nano?

When I run or walk, I always bring my phone with me just in case something should happen. Getting an iPod would mean carrying 2 devices.
Ya since everyone wants to go backwards...
I used to have a mp3 player, palm pilot and my cell phone on me at al times. Let's not go back in time...

I do have a S9 but when running I still need an arm band so that the phone won't keep shaking in my pocket. The problem now is it's hard to find one fit a G2 with a case.

Hi all, I have one question, do any of you have a armband for the sensation that you use? I've searched around,and all I can find are genetic ones, nothing specific for this phone.

I would love to see one of these too. I use Adidas micoach a lot and need a good armband case.
I bought this one last week. It won't let me put external link here yet (damn!), so search for "Black Sport Arm Band Case Cover For HTC Sensation 4G" on ebay.com.
I'll let you know how does it fit (or I put some pictures in here) after I receive it.
lol its looks like its for a evo/incredible intstead of sensation

Hey Rala, please post what you think of the armband once you get it, would like to know.

I got the same armband off ebay. It's well worth the cheap price tag. However, the screen is unusable while the phone is in the armband and I have to take my case off for it to fit. These aren't problems for me personally.

Hmm not good, I need a armband and also be able to use the screen, I suppose I could just use a huge rubber band strapping my phone to my arm.

Hiya,
I picked up on of these : Tune Belt AB83 Sport Armband for HTC Sensation from Mobilefun ( Can't post a link as yet sorry )
Its a little bit more expensive than the Ebay items but the phone is held perfectly and the the screen is fully usable. Its very comfortable too, I've had it on for a couple of hours when I've been out and about on my bike.
ps.. don't shoot.. although I've been a member for a couple of years and used some of the amazing ROMs and tips from this site.. this is my first noobie post !! eeeep
Doesn't look like they ship to US Anyone got any US ideas? The ones on Amazon don't seem particularly great. Best one ive had is this for my N1:
http://www.amazon.com/Tuneband-Incredible-Grantwood-Technologys-Protector/dp/B003GMHJAS
Sorry for my late response, I was few weeks out of my home, where the arm band came. Have some pictures for you. The quality is quite high (considering the low price). It fits well, except the top hole for inserting phone (the phone is kind of exposed there). Also it is possible to use touch screen over the plastic protection in the front, but it is not very comfortable. You have to press it hard.
Hi guys, I resume this old post cause I have the same "issue" (to find a good ArmBand) and I just got this phone.
As you all can see from my signature I had a Desire till yesterday and I've already been through this research. The best one I could find at the time was an ILuv ArmBand made for IPhone 3Gs which costed me around 30€..very comfortable & practical, it actually looked like the one you can see in the post above myone. On the other hand my excitment vanished away after a few jogging session: made of neoprene it was not enough "water proof" & since I REALLY sweat VERY much when going for fitness, after a month or so I had to send my beloved Desire to the HTC customer care, where they informed me they had to replace the whole motherboard due to water infiltration & charged me around 170€ for that!!!!!!
So..my question to all of you is: IF you think you sweat a lot when you go running & you found a good armband to use in your activities, did you experience any similar problem? Which armband did you choose then?
I don't know how you people keep your phone in your pocket all day...

I had the otterbox on the MT4G and plan and getting it for my MT4GS when available! It's not that bad!
Surprisingly, the same leather holster case I used for my Touch Pro 2 works fine with this one. There was only one 4G slide branded case at the store, a gel skin in hot pink, so I ended up browsing the Universal area. The smaller T-Mobile Universal holster didn't fit, but the larger one that normally would fit the Dash and Touch Pro 2 worked just fine. So I ended up not buying another and going home and using the one I've had for years.
Leather HTC Evo case from Sprint... I've used it for an Evo, Optimus, SGS4G, G2X, and MT4GS.

When I was in the T-mobile store buying the phone, There was a leather belt case for the Mytouch4G right there, we popped it open and tried it out.
Fits nice and snug, I put it in so the camera lens is at the bottom. It exposes the usb charging socket at the top of the case, so I can plug it in while it's on my hip.
I read about the camera lens getting scratched and didn't want to ave it exposed. I could go for a better case, but this one will do the trick until something made for it specifically comes out.
T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Leather sleeve w/ clip (is what the package says)
OtterBox people say they don't know when it's coming. And so I wait....
I've been sketchy about magnetic cases since my cliq's touchscreen messed up and was replaced four times. My last cliq lasted till I got the mytouch 4g slide (about 9 months).
Not only that, I'm scared of my phone being out of my pocket while I'm riding my bike. My G1 fell out of my case on the freeway lol.

I have the Trident case, do you think it would fit with that on?
Thanks
I have say I really enjoy this case. It's got a nice soft matte touch to it. It's not too extreme though where dust gets stuck to it and you feel it. Those cases drive me crazy.
I definitely recommend it if you can wait 2.5 weeks for it to arrive. They come in black, clear, and blue. They all have a slight frosted look.
Also, this case is designed for the international HTC One X. So the camera and speaker hole will be slightly off since the AT&T One X and One XL is slightly longer. It still fits great though and the camera lens is PROTECTED!
I was only able to find them on eBay. Here are the links: Blue Black White
Thank me if you like and buy one too!

It's pretty slick but I'm anal about my cases, if it doesn't fit perfectly than i won't use it. That said, if they came out with one specifically for the AT&T one I'd be all over it like flies on sh*t.

This is one of the better minimalist cases I've seen. Might pull the trigger soon if no ATT version comes out.

It fits perfectly fine. The camera is the only thing off. Either way, the lens is protected. Heck, it's only $12 lol. I'll use it until a proper one comes out.

This is the only case of this type I have seen. Am I missing something or do all the cases seem bulky and hide the design of the device?
I'd buy this if it fit immediately.
So far I like it fits the phone almost to well was really hard to get off I got the grey one. was a bit pricey but IMO worth it.
Picture please

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.
Here some pictures:

(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:
I've been looking for a phone stand for quite some time now. Would really appreciate suggestions or recommendations of stands people have used.
Things I am looking for:
Can hold N4 in portrait and landscape
Minimal coverage of the entire front
Good cable management or built in microUSB charger
Sturdy construction
A lightweight designed stand is what I'm looking for. Let me know if you find anything... I'm new to Nexus and have to replace my iPhone gear.
Are you guys open to diy or strictly something professionally designed?

I was looking for the same thing for my newly bought Nexus 4.
I've searched ebay and didn't find anything that looks decent to be honest.
The most beatiful / pratical thing I've found is this LG Wireless charger: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-WCD-80...51188?pt=Battery_Chargers&hash=item3a7fa87b34

But the price is simply obnoxious.
Then there is this ones:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sync-Dock...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item3cd011bd82
Which seem very.. meh. Plastic thing.
Now that first one is sexy! I'd personally be a bit wary of the price and location of the item but if someone gets one and works legit I'd love to know.
Your 2nd link is a charger stand I used with my old LG 2x, they are very good, I had 2 of them (one for work one for home). :good:
I've got two of the second one. Bought off Amazon. Work fine but ensure that they supply the non-case insert adapter as the first one I purchased didn
't come with one. Phone still charges but is slightly loose in the cradle.

I would say pro design, I'm hoping to have something slick in appearance.

The two images posted look pretty good. Too bad the top one is so expensive and out of the price range I was thinking about spending on a stand. Thanks for the suggestions though.
