recommendation for armband - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

do you have some recommendation for good armband at ebay ?

Not sure if it's available on eBay, but I got this from Amazon and it's great so far.

I'm using the Tune Belt model AB86. Fits my S4 fine even with my UAG case on it. Use it along with my Jaybirds BlueBuds X at the gym and when running outdoors. Have not had any issues with sweat soaking through. Great armband for the price in my opinion. I bought the Belkin one for the S4 but it was difficult use the buttons due to the way the armband is designed.

Best horizontal belt holster?

I am looking for a holster that:
1. Fits my Epic without making me fight to get it out.
2. Has a belt clip that keeps the phone attached to my belt.
3. Won't break after a few days of usage.
I've been able to find ones by Case Logic and Eddie Baur (at Best Buy) but they both have a belt clip that doesn't wrap around your belt. They'll attach to your belt but get knocked off very easy.

I bought this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/LEATHER-HOLSTER...ccessories&hash=item43a22e69cb#ht_2774wt_1008
after watching a video of a guy doing a review on it. It fits the phone perfectly. It is very new so the leather is kind of stiff and the flap doesn't close completely unless I tap it down until the magnet takes over, but that will work itself out in time. It feels like fairly nice quality, and is cheap as well. Holsters for me typically last around a year max before they are falling apart, so I tend to buy the cheaper ones.
Holster is made of leather interior and exterior. Epic 4g fits in very snug for the first couple fits, and then after half a dozen in and outs is a perfect fit.
How durable are the belt loops?
I have the one from Sprint, no name on the case...it fits the phone perfectly, but the only thing I don't like about it is that with the belt clip on I'm unable to charge my phone because the top clip part goes over the charging port.

Probably not too durable for the cost, but it will last at least a year I think.
I'm using this, they work well for my needs. Just search Amazon for mor info.

"Galaxy S" Case
I'm using Samsung's own Galaxy S case. I got it at the Sprint store (25% off thanks to my Sprint premium discount) and is really really good, high quality leather and nice fabric on the interior.
The phone fits comfortably and is very elegant looking. I'm including pictures!!!

How much was it without the discount?
I use the Galaxy S case also. I haven't found a case yet that'd suit my needs better.
That's the downside of this case, the full price is $34, but considering how well the phone fits and how elegant it looks, it's well worth it.
Just as a side note, I didn't get the case right away with the phone, I searched everywhere for a good case after I got the phone, but couldn't find it, then one day I popped into the Sprint store to solve a problem with my wife's phone and stumbled on it and fell in love, the 25% premium discount made it a lot more attractive
Best Buy
Just got one at best buy that is a hard case and comes with a belt holster. So even when you take it off your belt, it still has the hard case so if you drop it, the edges are protected.

Here are some picks of the one I bought off ebay- expensive but very well made. It looks a little large on my belt but the phone fits real well.

Sport armbands for Nexus 4

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.
Tune Belt:

Arkon:
http://www.amazon.com/XXL-ARMBAND-A...id=1361744928&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+4+armband
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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
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?

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

Click to expand...

... 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.

Any good kickstand cases for S4 ?

I'm looking for something like this :
http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Holster...67243950&sr=8-10&keywords=galaxy+s4+kickstand
The design of the case is perfect, not very thick, can kickstand portraid/landscape, and even use it as a hook for a firmer grip. But to me it is a very cheap looking / feeling case I want something more premium with the same functionality ?

A little on the pricey side, but they make great cases.
I bought the Seidio Active combo w/ kickstand this morning. I had an Active on my Nexus S for 2 years, very durable case...
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2
The Seidio Surface case with the kickstand arrived today. I was a little worried about how much the kickstand would protrude, but it's only about 2 mm, so I'm glad I got it. I've also used Seidio cases for many years. My last one (S2) is still as good as new and I've had it since the phone was released for Sprint. Aside from the durability, I use multiple batteries and their cases are quick to take on and off.

Best buy's platinum series of cases are near identical to seidio, but about $20 cheaper. There is one with a belt holster and kickstand. I have it on my s4, and am quite pleased.

Any arm cases tested for use while jogging

I've done some searching on Amazon but was curious if anyone has found a good case for use while walking/running/jogging? I prefer something that straps to my arm for ease of access.
It never feels comfortable holding the phone in my pocket while exercising because I'm always worried it'll fall out.

Holster Case

Just picked up the phone and I am looking for a good case. I always keep phone on the hip, wondering if there is a good holster case for the phone that isn't too bulky. I've never been a huge fan of Otterbox cases but if that's all that is both durable and a holster I guess I will consider it.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Supcase makes a decent one that is thinner than the otterbox. The only downsides of that I've seen is that no matter which way you put the phone in the holster, the volume buttons can be pressed. The advantage I see with the otterbox if that the phone can be locked in screen out and the holster used as a kickstand. I personally prefer the otterbox but you will pay more. And the otterbox when I looked was only available from Motorola and otterbox.
Try seidio. They have one that I use and have used for years for different phones. The one for the Moto x pure edition makes the phone less slippery to me. I usually buy an extra holster because I am hard on them and the spring clip breaks eventually.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't think Seidio made for the 2015, but will look again. I've always had pretty good luck with their products. Will compare that and the Otterbox if I can find it.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Seido does make one. They sell the case and holster both individually and as a combo
Supcase holster and case can be modified actually . I just took a hack saw to the other tab that would cover the volume and power keys . The only downside is you are left releasing the phone from one side only and in one orientation . If this isnt a problem for you . Then this will be a fix for you . Also removal of the built in screen shield is a pain in the ass . Otherwise I love mine since I modified it
Good to hear that there are cases available. Do any of them work with a GPS type mount for a car? Not sure if one even exists that fits the phone either way.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Not sure about GPS mounts. I've seen a few that claim to work with phones with 6 inch screens (i.e. Nexus 6) and they might be big enough.
For the car, check out the arkon MG279.
Holsters
I use a NiteIze holster http://www.niteize.com/product/Clip-Case-Cargo-Mobile-Device-Holsters.asp - the extra tall one. I've used their other holsters for previous phones and they work quite well at protecting the phone.

^^The "double wide" works well with this phone too.
If you want to carry your phone without a case but in a holster, this Note 5 spring clip holster works great with the Moto X Pure:

My Seidio Note 4 holster I was using for my MXP just broke. I'm giving this one a try. Holsters always break around the clip. I'm hoping this one is strong as advertised.

The Note 5 holster really is a perfect fit and better than a Note 4 holster.
