I'm looking for a vertical soft pouch/case/sleeve that will fully cover the G2. The main reason that I want one is to keep pocket lint and such from getting in the keyboard/grill/etc, and I'm not able to find one that FULLY covers the G2.
Something similar to the oem G1 neoprene case, except with maybe a magnetic lid on the top would be really nice.
I ordered this one

The G1 case works perfectly, I received my [email protected] today it started using my G1 slip case immediately.
Any other protective cases out for the g2 yet?
I'm using the Nexus One's.
Tmobile actually sells a nice gel case for the G2 that feels good in your hands and makes the phone a little thicker but not too bulky. It doesn't have a belt clip and its rather nice. It goes for 16.99.

Just bought one of these: http://www.builtny.com/phone-sleeve-prod.html
I'm using the sleeve that came with my nexus right now, but it's not a very good fit. Hopefully this sleeve works well. BuiltNY is TOP quality!
That one listed there is for the iphone, will it fit the g2?

Good question. Most pouches are large enough to fit any phone that isn't ridiculously huge, though.
BTW, LS-VTEC CRX here, boost soon. Fun little gas-sipper
I used a friends N1 case, it was way too tight. Have to find someone with a G1 case to try it out before buying.
The case that shipped with the G1 is an absolutely perfect fit (probably better than on the G1, since the G2 doesn't have the lip)

I beg to differ. I use my n1 case for my g2 and it is just as nice a fit as the n1, I just had to stretch it a wee bit by shoving my brothers Samsung Epic in there over night

I'm using my G1 case which fits the G2 PERFECTLY. the slits at the top side of the pouch is perfect for the USB port too, granted charging the phone in the pouch isnt the greatest idea since it will get pretty warm.
Hmm looks like I'll give the N1 case stretching a shot, if not G1 case.

Yea your right when I get home I'll compare the size of my ipod touch to my G2, it should give me at least some kind of idea as to how the case should fit
Nice boosted ls's are capable of nasty things, I currently own a 07 si sedan and I'm loving it.

Does anyone know if the leather pouch that the Touch Pro 2 came in would fit the G2? It looks about the same size.

Yeah its a poor mans b18c5 really, all ITR spec stuff EXCEPT forged parts and the block is a b18b. Crank, head, etc is all b18c5. Aiming for 500whp on premium. Should be "too much" for street use and I'll probably use a ebc to tune it down to 300-400 during daily driving.
Here is is months ago, granny-shifting and untuned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bp3aD3rBJ4
Has been tuned since and now that I have a better video camera should re-record.
I still have my G1 case somewhere so will give that a try.

Just got my pouch in from BuiltNY(the one I posted about earlier) and it fits perfectly. Way nicer than my Nexus One case, and a little thicker material too. I'll post up a few pictures when I get home tonight.
It seems pricey, but it's soooo worth the quality. It's basically and over-engineered nexus one case. Which is exactly what I was looking for.
I can also confirm that the G1 case works perfectly for the G2

I'm looking for an armband type case for my Desire HTC to use when out running or on the bike. I want to take the phone for emergency's and also because i use SportyPal to track my route, etc.
I don't really want to pay a lot, under £10 would be perfect.
I've had a look around and found one on the auction side for that kind of money but no others. Any body got any recommendations?
Also wondering if there is a different phone of a similar size that has more and would be compatible with the Desire HD
Cheers
Carl
Well, the HTC HD2 and the EVO 4G have nearly identical dimensions.
So anything for those two should work with the Desire HD.
I'm also in the market for something like this but I haven't looked for anything yet.
I use an armband that I got when I owned an ipod touch, I no longer have the ipod, but my desire hd fits in the armband perfectly, only cost a fiver from ebay too

Excellent. In-law has an ipod touch so i will size it up against that and if it is the same size i will at armbands for the touch.
Cheers
You'll find that the desire hd is much bigger than an ipod touch but the armband i have fits my phone perfectly

Nice find, that looks very interesting.
Will probably give that a try later on.

i just got my TuneBelt AB83 this afternoon, i only purchased it as we are theme park freaks and ive lost a few phone on nemesis at alton towers.
the armband is actually very good, and comfy to use, the suprise for me was the touchscreen still works when in the case.
it has the holes on the bottom as well for your headphones, but it takes a bit of effort to make it sit correctly in the case.
it is rather expensive for what it is, and im sure a couple of months down the road it will be a lot cheaper, but it still works out cheaper than looseing another phone.

Thanks for the tip. I've ordered the same one from another UK-seller. Hope to receive it within a few days and post my findings here.
I used my iPod touch arm band for a while, but the phone was too big and would stick out a bit and was very tight! Not a problem in the summer, but when it rains the phone gets wet.
I've ordered a tunebelt from amazon to replace it. Can't see how the phone will fit in an iPhone case, as the size is wrong

Well, I received this APPLE IPHONE 3GS 3G BLUE SPORT ARMBAND and as promised, here are my findings:
Pro's:
- The DHD fits snugly into the pouch, the width perfect.
- The On/Off-switch, headphone jack and micro-usb port are easily accessible through the open parts of the pouch.
- It looks pretty decent.
Cons:
- The Volume-Up/Down buttons are not accessible through a hole in the pouch. It's quite difficult to operate these buttons and because of the snug fit, it's easy to accidentally push one or both the volume buttons. I'm considering to cut into the fabric to make these buttons accessible, but am afraid that this might destroy the pouch altogether.
- The height of the DHD fits into the pouch, but since this armband is designed for a slightly smaller phone, the top of the screen (notification bar) is difficult to read/pull down.
- There seems to be some excess glue on the inside of the pouch and this transfers to the sides of my DHD so I have had to wipe my DHD clean a few times.
TuneBelt AB83
Anyone bought this?
Yes, i have. I use it with a Casemate Barely-there. It's a tight fit, but perfectly usable.
I use it for running.
yes the AB83 was the one i bought
wife tried it lastnight said it did its job well
held the cable out of the way, held the phone securely so yeah recommended
Does anyone know of a good armband to use with the sgs4g? I want to use ths micoach app when i run but i cant use my pocket to hold the phone and dont want to hold it the whole time

I have not tried it but its cheap and looks like it would do the job.
Yeah, I looked at several of those... probably try them; just hoping to not kill it with sweat. (I did that to an old Sansa Clip that I'd clipped to the waistband of my jogging shorts...)

Ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004APXAL2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01
(Igadgitz)
Taken it on several runs now and it works great. Fits the GS4G perfectly! (Assuming you have a normal sized back. The thicker leather one my wife has is too tight.)
I bought this one off DealExtreme awhile ago: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/sports-gym-arm-band-case-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-black-82385
It's alright, gets the job done. It fits the 4G since the S2 is larger. The only issue is you cannot use this with a case. Only the phone can be in there.
There are others on Dealextreme that apparently have a stylus attached.
Following up. I have now run approximately 200 miles with the arm band I referenced above.
I have run in the rain.
I have run on humid days where I sweat terribly.
My phone has stayed dry through it all.
Would recommend!

has anybody found an armband that works well?
I've been looking everywhere for one, too. Tried to order one off of amazon, but the seller screwed up. I found a similar one at a retail store and tried out, but only so I could prove to the schmuck phone rep that the HOX will not just slip into the same case that an iPhone would. The search continues...
Looking for one myself... any suggestions?
I use a black tube sock. Cut the foot part off and slide it on your arm, and then fold it in half...the phone will sit down in the folded part perfectly.

Anyone using that case?
Thanks in advance!
Had it. Returned it.
Offers no protection and makes the phone very slippery.
Got it for $15. Not worth it. Definitely not worth it at $30.
All imo of course.

If you don't want any protection go for it.

How ridiculous of HTC to release such a flimsy case for such an expensive price. I saw a picture of this case snapped in half quite easily.
Clearly someone at HTC was playing a joke, I mean blue and orange? $30? I feel like they're virtually feeding us crazy pills.

I like mine and use it when not at work. I work out in the field and use the best buy case and holster combo. It's nice when going out to dinner and showing off the great design of the one x. FYI that link is for the one x and not for the att or rogers(xl) version.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I realize now that this is a slightly different case than the one I was mentioning. This is the official case for the international One X. I don't know if this is quite as flimsy as the one for the One XL, but it probably wouldn't fit on the XL anyways. Could anyone confirm this? i'm interested in grabbing the white one for my fancy times.
The white one reminds me of a golf ball.. but they should've kept this pattern for the US version instead of the stripe/bar pattern we got.
I can't vouch for that one specifically. I do have the HC 700 for my XL though. Unfortunately since I'm a new user it won't let me link it, but you can find it on the site you found that one under the HC 700 model number.
It's for the International version but I decided to give it a shot for my phone. It does fit, just not perfectly. You can feel a little(barely) flex in it if you press down on the back of the phone's edges. The camera lens also doesn't line up completely but luckily the flash is not covered and the lens is not covered, just a little of the ring around the lens gets obscured by the case. Same thing goes with the hole for the speaker, it just barely comes up to the point where the holes for the speaker are but it doesn't cover them, but it does leave a larger gap at the top of the speaker holes. None of the buttons or input/output jacks are affected though. Since that is a similar case I'm sure the results would be similar.
I primarily got the case to keep the back of my White One X(L) from getting scratched, so far it's doing its job so I can't really complain too much about the minor alignment issues.
Yes,also know this case from other forums that it's don't do good protection..
