Hi everybody,
If you are looking for an armband for your Nexus 4 I could recommend you one of those two. I tested both with a bumper on my phone and both work fine. Phone fits tight. Tune Belt seems to be crafted slightly better. Arkon has wider plastic screen and is cheaper.

I was just thinking of going running next month to get in shape! But I thought the Nexus 4 was too ridiculously huge to run with. I'm a short guy 5'6".
I'm 5'6" run with it in hand. Prefer that, but I wish I could find a hand strap like an old Sony sports cassette Walkman from the 80s.

I used to run with phone in my hand but it was to awkward for me. Armand and bluetooth headset is a perfect combination.

I'm curious, I run with my N4 on a waist pouch and use Bluetooth earphones. Doesn't the armband get annoying? After I put enough mileage on a run even my shirt bugs me. I would think a phone strapped to my arm would drive me nuts. Thoughts?

$4.. im in. my ipod armband and i were fused together all day everyday in college.
Heads Up
Just a little heads up to others looking for a Nexus 4 running armband.
I got this, designed for a Galaxy S3: [not allowed to post links, google the phrase
igadgitz Black Reflective Anti-Slip Neoprene Sports Gym Jogging Armband for Samsung Galaxy S3 amazon

... and the relevant amazon link should be the top result.
It fits Nexus 4 perfectly (when not in a case). You'll have to make a little hole in the fabric for the headphone jack (I used one of those thingies to make holes in belts with), other than that a perfect fit. Been using it a week without issues.
Any recommended armbands for the N4 in the original bumper?
I've had good success with PDO: http://www.amazon.com/Sporteer-Armband-Samsung-Large-Screen-Smartphones/dp/B00D614GBE
Edit: It fits a naked N4.
Anything that fits a Galaxy S3 will also fit a Nexus 4. If you want an armband that will fit the Nexus 4 with a bumper on, you will probably need an arm band that can fit a Galaxy Note. The bumper adds quite a bit of thickness to the phone.
I use a Tune Belt AB85, it's pretty big capacity wise so I don't need to take my case off.
It's designed for thick cases, so I've actually padded mine out with a bit of foam, which has the added bonus of moving the phone away from my sweaty arm.

Ringke Hybrid Case fits Tune Belt
I have this case "Google Nexus 4 Ringke [Fusion] Premium Hybrid Hard Case" and just bought Tune Belt with Extender. It fits perfectly. Love this combination.

Ahem.. Sorry. I would go for the Aegis case. It's covering everything and looks more protective to me. Good luck!

I have the Aegis case, the only thing TRIDENT need is to revise is the screen protector that comes with it, is to make a cutout for the earpiece to fit the GT-N5100. Otherwise, case is highly recommended.
I have the kraken for my S3 and love it. It adds a lot of bulk. If you use your note in an active situation or work in a physical job and use it in the field, I would get it. If you are an office worker or generally good with your fragile gadgets then go with some thing like a folio cover.

I have Kraken for my Htc one x and I love it ..But for note it has a big hole for the attachment thats why I am thinking
I got this case when I got the 8 with my S4 from at&t combo sale:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E0EY9P4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1375461871&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY19
It's a great case granted you don't have to take pics but that's what the S4 is for. Very protective from all side and I'm sure you can find it chapter elsewhere. The rep at the sore hooked it up so I got this case and the one for the S4 for free.
Hey guys trident has some special sale for summer .35% off on all ur purchases ..

So Kraken case comes around 45.47$

Trident Kraken Case review:
I have kraken case for htc one x and I am very happy with it but samsung note 8 case is the worst kraken case ..Build quality is very poor,Screen protector has small dots which make it rough when using the screen,ports cutouts are very lose,infrared port is not covered and finally speaker cutouts are towards upwards which I didn't expect.
.
Tablet holder:
Its made up of poor quality .While rotating it feels like its gonna break ..
Totally disappointed returning the product and I am back to poetic revolution case
Anyone know of any waterproof cases like the Otterbox preserver or lifeproof being developed for the Note 4? Anyone know of any waterproof bags or pouches that will fit the note 4? Or even works/seals out water?
I ordered an ipad mini waterproof bag/pouch that should be arriving today. I'll update when I get a chance to try it out. That seems to be the only option so far for making the Note 4 waterproof.

There are plenty of options for pouches out there without having to resort to one made for an iPad Mini. A quick search on Amazon will bring up several of them. Here are two of them:
JOTO Universal Waterproof Case Bag
Says it fits the Note 4, and it has great reviews.. Since there are several reviews that mention that it fits the Note 3 (without a case), I would wager that it does work with the Note 4 (also without a case).
DandyCase Waterproof Case
That one fits the Mega, so it should have no problem with the Note 4. Great reviews too.

I have an otterbox defender on my note 4. So the total length goes up to 6.5" x 3.75" approximately. My ipad mini waterproof pouch just came. My phone is mostly usable even with the pouch. There's a slight problem with being able to push the side volume and power buttons, as well as pulling down the notification shade. I think it's due the tightness/taughtness of the plastic - there's no slack.
I might try a pouch made for 7" tablet, instead of an 8"-incher. It'll be a tight fit and probably have even more tightness issues. All of the other pouches, even for the Galaxy Mega 6.3", were too small for my Note 4 with my otterbox on.
A waterproof case like the Otterbox Preserver would be best.

Gotcha. In your original post, you didn't say that you were looking for something that would fit the Note 4 with an Otterbox Defender, rather that you were looking for something to fit the Note 4. That's why I posted those links. Thanks for clarifying your needs. Knowing all of the details is important for people as they try to help.

I found this on amazon. The medium is just slightly bigger than the phone and is clear on both sides: http://www.amazon.com/LokSak-Waterproof-Pouch-Pack-4-5/dp/B000BT80U2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
This what i ordered and arrived today: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L1R5UPG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It's unusable because it's a little too big and the backside is opaque.

Not a case I would trust my phone to. Reviews for their other cases are poor, citing an inability to use the phone while it's in the case.
I don't think any phone can be used, with a waterproof case or pouch that has a touchscreen. Capacitive touchscreens use small electrical currents if I'm not mistaken, and when wet, the screen on any waterproof device goes weird. I have the Gear 2 which is water resistant, and I can't use the screen when it has water on it otherwise it goes all weird

There are actually many waterproof cases and pouches that are designed so that you can use your smartphone's touchscreen. In fact, essentially all of the good quality ones allow that. Of course, when the screen protector on the case gets wet, it can be difficult to use the screen for the reason you mentioned. But when dry, a waterproof case of any decent quality will still allow you to use the screen.
Bring up the post.. hopefully there will be many waterproof case coming [emoji1]

Now if I could only find some submersible Bluetooth headphones. All the headphones are either not Bluetooth or not completely waterproof.

Guys,
Here is the quick review of the Samsung Note 4 S-View Wireless Charging Case and the Fake China S-View Case and some other cases ( Wallets and TPU)
Question?
Just wanted to put my opinion in also mate. Gotta say this is the worst case I have owned on any phone. I bought this case as I wanted to try the flip case. Firstly only get this case if you NEED a flip case. It covers the LED so only way to know if you have notifications is to turn the phone on. The edges of this case a hard and narrow, therefore holding the phone for periods becomes very uncomfortable. It also will not protect the phone if dropped, the front flip becomes slightly flexible so you will damage the corners of the phone if you drop it. Also the screen gets incredibly smudged by fingerprints unlike the actual screen. Very hard to keep clean as it has two sides to it.
Hate flip cases anyways

Yeah, The looks. I actually bought another S view (Gold color) without wireless charging
Verizonwireless.com has the charging case for $39.99 and the standard S-view for $19.99! Damn good prices considering the retail prices of these cases. Just ordered the charcoal one that has built-in charging. And no, you do not have to have an account to order. :good:

Yup that's where I ordered. The gold one looks better than I thought
Thanks for the review.
I have a fake chinese flip S-view cover for my Galaxy S4, and for the price it was simply great. the S-view worked fine, and quality was really decent.
One I'm considering buying a similar one for my new Note 4, and I think that the original OEM cases (both wireless and non-wireless ones) are simple overpriced!
I made some searches, and noticed that there are no fake chinese ones with the IC chip which enables the native S-view windows. They all have those custom badly functioning apps you have to download from chinese websites, just like you mentioned in the video.
Is there any fake flip case with a working native S-view cover??
Thanks!!
I grabbed one from Verizon for $19.99 (as mentioned above). I found the price acceptable, but wouldn't pay the full price for it. It's a nice case, but the window smudges are annoying (as others have mentioned).

$20 is not that bad for a real S view case from Verizon. I don't think any fake one works same as real Sview because of the small magnet/chip insert cost more.

i got that unicorn beetle case (i think that's the name). it "fits" with the glass screen protector and the wireless charging back (i still have to order a qi charger for my nightstand, office desk, and car, but im still looking for a case that will fit it perfectly. i really wish samsung shipped the phones with the wireless back, or at least make it the same size. is this a mythological case that i'm looking for? will any manufacturers step up to the plate? was this an issue with the note 3? i hope i can find the perfect case with a holster!
