Usable armband?

Could anyone suggest subject?

Friend of mine ordered the smaller version of the tunebelt and he's ecstatic over it. He's been through a couple too.

My wife loves her tunebelt, not too expensive on amazon either.

Thanks for reply guys!
I was looking at the same model.
AlgorithmX, because you have it, could you comment on quality and usability. I need this thing mostly for sports. It's kind of difficult to judge on picture. Does touch still works through that plastic? How it holds moisture? And how good is velcro?

I posted in the Vibrant and i9000 forums, but I got the larger version of the Tune Belt. It fits with my phone still inside it's TPU case which is what I was looking for. I think the smaller version would be too tight if you want to keep it in your case.
If you have above average sized biceps, you will need the extension as the band is one of the shorter ones I've seen, but luckily the extension is very cheap and works well.
Here are some pics.

Thanks for good pictures!
No hole for a headphones cord?
And how do I know what is bigger/smaller version? I have only thin silicone on my phone and do not want to take it off every time.

The headphone cord comes out of the flap at the top. I can take a picture later, but it's the same open you slide the phone into, so there's plenty of room.
The model numbers tell you if it's the smaller one or larger one. As you can see in my pics, my phone has a TPU case on it and fits very well inside the armband.
AB82 = Smaller
AB83 = Larger

Finally got my paws on it and used it for a while.
IMHO, this armband is useless for sports. It is like a sponge!
I got bigger version and it fits the phone in the silicon case. However seams inside do not allow plastic to touch the screen, so it's pretty difficult to control phone on the run.

I'm assuming you're talking about the TuneBelt right? If so, it's neoprene. While it may "retain" sweat/moisture, it shouldn't absorb it, neoprene is basically sweat proof. It "retains" some of it temporarily, because the material is breathable (which you definitely want) I have the smaller ab82 that I used with my Touch Pro, and I can tell you from using it at the gym a bunch, if you check it a few hours later, it should be bone dry again as the sweat evaporates out of it, doesn't leave it gross or smelly, etc. Wetsuits are made out of the same material for this sorta reason.
As for the seams on the screen.. ya it looked that way in the pictures above. Still, looks to be the only good solution out currently for phones as big as ours.

Best belt holster or case?

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.

nuvi 200 clip works great with skyrocket

I have discovered the best car mount for my skyrocket ... a Garmin nuvi 200 series mount works awesome. I have the SGP Neo Hybrid case on my phone and it just snaps right in to the mount.... it doesn't move or slide around no matter if I have the phone vertical or horizontal.

Interesting. Got any pics?

I'm in middle of vacation right now..I'll get some pics up when I get back. Loving it so far.... I can even video my driving ... navigation is great ... see who's call while wearing a Bluetooth headset.

Just tried it. It works well.

Has anyone tried this with a seidio active case on the phone?

Any chance to get pictures of it in the cradle?

Hi, I looked - there are so many cradles for the nuvi 200 out there
Can you link something so we know the one you confirm is working ?
Thanks

I've been using this set up for quite a while. It's perfect with the TPU case. It snaps and very steady. I use it with Garmin friction mount that I bought from Amazon for $13. Pretty cool set up I may add.

For the mount:
http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Fricti...HFOS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1338393180&sr=8-5
You can get the bracket from ebay for $2. Search for Nuvi 250 bracket.

I have that same mount and yes it's the right size for the Skyrocket with a TPU case. I don't use it only because I can't get the angle right in my car with the suction mount I have. I ended up buying a RAM mount.

buying one of these, hopefully its a 100% perfect match to the original ones...

Here's a pic..

good fit with pop case
This is very snug with a pop case - love it.

Has anyone tried it with a seidio surface case? I think it should be about the same thickness as the TPU or Pop case but I'd like to make sure.
**EDIT**
Just to let people know, this works great with the Seidio Surface case.

I found this case on Amazon .
Did anybody of you already buy it?
It looks very good, and the aluminium plate inside the case should give a very good protection if you put your Nexus 4 in a rucksack or bag with some other things.
Is there a similar leather case with some sort of protection built into it? Because the main downside of this bag is its high price...

Looks like a quality product but the price is pretty high to buy it without any reviews.

Looks good, but $30? Probably not. I'll think about it when it's $20 since it's aluminum plated on ONE SIDE ONLY.

I've ordered it but it won't ship for another week or two. I currently have the SGP Crumena leather pouch for my Galaxy Nexus. They aren't making one for the N4, so I had to hunt down for another similar pull tab case. The only ones I found are this one and another from PDair but theirs does not have the pull tab. I had a Proporta leather case for my old iPod Touch and found it to be very good quality.

Maybe I don't get it, but won't this shield the phone from cell/wifi/etc)

I think you are right, but as richteralan said - the aluminium plate is one side only, and the antennas are on the back - so they should work fine.

I bought one. I'm not typically into these types of cases, but heck, why not?! I've spent $30 on dumber things

Got an email from them. They cancelled my order because of "compatibility issues". Seems like they were intending to use one of their cases for another phone for the N4 and it doesn't fit properly? who knows. pretty annoying though.

Heads up! I bought it before it got discontinued. Just tried it out.
They are right.. It doesn't fit. It's waaaay too tight and the phone doesn't fit all the way in That's a real bummer imho. That's the best looking leather case out there in my opinion.
So if anyone knows of a similar case. Please let me know Doesn't need to Nexus 4 exclusive. Just Nexus 4 compatible

ANY case will make make it hard to mount. the there is NO tolerance for any type of case. If you have a case you may want to look at the universal one that clamp the sides.

This dock works fine with the Trident Kraken on my phone. The Kraken and the Otterbox Defender are probably the two thickest cases on the market so if you want one which works with any case get it:

...there's another thread in here on the features. I am really pleased with mine.

with this mount, you cant fit a case on it. If you take a look with the phone installed there is no way a case can fit in it. You may have a slightly different model of it

The lower arms are adjustable. This allows them to extend far enough for the lip to sit in front of the phone with the Kraken case on it. The top arm has plenty of length to clamp the phone in the Kraken case.
I've been driving with the phone in it's Kraken case secured in this window mount for the past week. I realize it's more expensive than the $8.00 mount on ebay but I think if you can afford this phone and need a windshield mount you can probably spend a few extra $$ for a better mount.

i took a video on my way into work this morning on a really crappy road. and my suspension is set Medium.

your mount is adjustable. the one that i posted is not. just depends on each persons need. Not sure if yours does but this one has a cutout for flash and camera if you want to take a video while drive. A important feature for me.

updated with a video test.

will post some pics and video review when I get it.

looks like a decent option, I have my Sprint branded mount that I have from when I had my EVO lte, it worked great for my S3 and now my S4 :good: very similar to this mount actually, I did have to remove the charge port though

bump, i saw a thread about mounts
