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.

DecalGirl Skins

I'm not currently using these, but my wife has used DecalGirl skins on her phones several times. They were always good quality fit and very durable. Lot's of designs. Someone mentioned to me they finally had G2 skins so I thought I'd share the link in case anyone hadn't seen their products before.
I'm really considering ditching my gel case for this one:

Like tis one too:

Awww... I saw the thread title and thought there were some decal girl stickers. like those girls on old planes or pinups. Those are cool and sexy at the same time... these are nice too though

Good luck getting the final product to look like that. I've heard nothing but good things about DecalGirl products, but a quality installation makes all the difference.

I agree... heck, I have a hard enough time putting on a screen protector let alone an entire phone skin. It does look sweet how the wallpaper blends right in!

link the site on the first post please

I was looking at these and they're sweet.
Website is http://www.decalgirl.com/
But if skin really does blend into the background that turns me off. Obviously you can opt from doing so, but still it'd get boring after awhile.

I showed the site to the girlfriend.... now she wants one for her evo .

I don't know... that's kinda the coolest part, imo. Oh well, sticking with my gel skin anyways.

I just really like their selection of designs. I had skins from them on an original Xbox and my first Xbox 360. I also installed one on my wife's old blackberry. Installation wasn't as hard as other brands because their material was thick and had a lot of give (if that makes sense). The only thing that I noticed is that if you look at the pictures close, these don't seem to cover the sides of the corners of the phone. For that reason, I'm not sure I would ditch my gel case for one. I like to keep my phones as like new as possible.
If anyone tries one of these and could post pics, it would be appreciated. But I think I'm actually going to hold off for now.
And sorry for neglecting to link in the opening post.

DBrand for HTC One M9

Hey people, it's Moomoomania here. Realized no one has really seem to have gotten a DBrand skin for the HTC One M9 and uploaded their results so I thought I would share you with mine. First and foremost, my apologies for the crappy camera shots as I just took these photos in a span of 30 seconds (with my Nexus 9) so they're definitely not professional to any extent.
Moving on... I would like to say that this skin has definitely gotten people complementing me on the phone and asking how I got it etc. as it looks much much MUCH nicer in person and the texture is also nice on the hands. Gone are the feeling of metal but I kind of prefer this in a sense as the "sharp" metal feeling (you know what I'm saying) was beginning to become a displeasure to my fingers. The only gripes I would have with this skin was adding the camera cut-out vinyl-thing made it super ugly (so I did not add it) and I had difficulty aligning the HTC logo and the cut-out for the camera; you can see it's not perfectly straight. I would most definitely recommend anyone to purchase the HTC logo for a buck so you can align the camera cutout more pefectly and whatever slight imperfections you have with the HTC logo, it would be covered by the HTC logo pieces you have bought.
I'd like to see other peoples skins too if anyone here have gotten theirs too!

I am usually not a big fan of debranding and even my protection case is fully transparent to show off the beauty of the M9. But I've got to admit that this looks REALLY nice! Congrats, mate!

Hey man this the dbrand skin im currently running on m9, i had the same for the m7 and the m8 aswell. The only downside was i noticed when placed in to the case it kinda ruined some edges but other than that its been fine.

Looks like you have a couple of blemishes here and there around your case but overall, I think it looks nice. I was about to get the carbon fiber skin but I felt like it wasn't too "hipster" so I opt-in for the mahogany skin. I had to look up on Google to see what the mahogany skin looks like in other pictures as the dbrand picture doesn't really do you good

Wish they didn't stop doing full one piece backs, it was so simple to apply them. I have OCD with lining up at the antenna strips lol.

0.46mm Super Skin. A case hater's dream.

It isn't exact, I hand cut it, but it is pretty close. Cut the volume buttons out on the wrong side. Got mad, so did a pretty crap job of cutting them out on the correct side. oops. All I know is that this sucker would probably stick to a block of ice. And for the first time this phone isn't hurting my pinkie when I am holding it.

Good work, although I don't like cases as they generally make the phone look worse, this makes the phone look much worse, but probably MUCH gripper.

What's this, the skin?

LOL what the...
It's actually a good idea in terms of protection without adding size but it's too ugly for me. Still, always good to see people thinking outside the box.

It really doesn't look that bad. The pics were taken with a 13w daylight sitting a couple of feet away using a six hundred dollar point and shoot. Which exaggerates how much it stands out. I'd put it up there with the gaudiness of carbon fiber or that new dragonskin stuff dbrand is pushing. Meaning I totally get where you are coming from. When I see people putting those gaudy skins on their phone, I wonder why they are compelled to buy it. Especially when they do nothing for the grip.
This though... I think you would be surprised. It gives massive confidence without adding any bulk.

Check this out!!!! Maybe what you where looking for?

That's pretty neat. Car seat fabric. Should do decent job for grip. But that one doesn't cover the sides. Hmm. Makes me want to go to Upholstery fabric shop and brainstorm.

A good effort on a difficult task.
I've been using the custom skins from dbrand (https://dbrand.com/) on my last two phones and now on the Pixel XL. These skins are precise beyond belief, so the challenge is installing it on your phone. The adhesive does allow "peel up and retry", so mostly it's just patience that's needed.
The quality is excellent and they have wide range of materials and colors to choose from. I've order black carbon fiber for my Pixel XL ($9.99) and will post a pic once its installed.

That's just it though. They don't have a wide range of materials. It's all the same thing. Vinyl sheets cut out with a laser cutter. They are all slick, and none of them are anywhere near in the same ball park as this.
Post your pics if you want. Seen em all before. Used em all too. Dbrand is a hype machine. Form over function.

From the looks of it, this itself can be used for the Watch 4 because it doesn't have any equipment in it. Just slots to put in your own stuff!

Looks like a good possibility... but someone needs to try it!

My god, this thing is fugly !

I tried it and it didn't work. The Galaxy charger dial is larger in size than Apple and this box is designed for Apple. So it didn't fit. Even by force.
Luckily I could return on Amazon and got refund.

I have used the black sided ones (so you dont even notice theyre there) since the Active 2, and now just got a set for the Watch 4.
They are the great protection and cheap..... AUD$18 for like 4 of them

Best thing to buy is the Spigen rugged armor pro casing. Doesn't add fugly trash around the watch, it creates a completely new look and is rock solid. Doing mud/obstacle runs with it and hell yes, I'm really beating it.... having some protective glass could be helpful as well, but this kind of ugly watch condom is a joke

Looks terrible, completely covers everything and doesnt add any bulks, most people wouldnt notice it
But that sucks, right?
vs, this, at 7 times the price and no face protection:
you were saying something about a joke?
