Anyone have an armband case that works if your phone is already in a case? I'd like to have an armband for working out so it's not flopping all over in my pocket, but don't want to remove it everytime I go for a run. Any suggestions that work well?
I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UA4G4QA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a Spigen Ultra Hybrid on it, which is probably a bit slimmer than the Commuter, but I would expect the Commuter to fit in it, as well. I liked this particular armband because it only has the one hole for the headphone jack whereas some of them have several holes to accommodate other phones.

I like that one! Looks like your case is a bit slimmer, but I actually like that case too haha. Worst case, I'll order both For $8, it's worth a shot. Thanks flu!
Did you end up getting this armband? I also have a otterbox commuter and would like to know your experience with the armband. Or did you find an alternative?
Thanks

I did! It fits perfectly, but I did have to cut off the cover that goes over the headphone port. Like, the rubber flap. But I like it!
You mean cut it off of the phone or the armband?

Well, the armband has a hole so your headphone plug can go through. But you can't keep the cover on the otterbox bent back while you shove it in the case. So I cut the rubber flap off from the Otterbox. Does that make sense?

Ah gotcha. Makes perfect sense. That's a shame, but I guess it's not too big of a deal.
does your phone get wet if you start to sweat? Also is it comfortable to run with?
I've never actually ran with my pone or an armband before but want to start so I can listen to music and map my runs, etc.

I like it! I used to run with my phone and my pocket, and that got annoying. This is my first one also. If you sweat a lot, the back might get a little sweat on it. The back is like a foam.
Awesome. Thanks for your help. I think I'm going to get one.

I have the Seidio Innocase II combo with Belt clip holder.
I'm going to buy this and check it out, hopefully it fits the spring clip holder.
I ordered this a few days ago. Ill let you know when I get it. If this works the way I want it to, this should be one of, if not the thinnest nexus case to date.

Doesn't look like it offers much protection to the top and bottom of the phone though.

I received mine a couple days ago. Totally bummed out about it. Doesn't snap on firmly on the sides and is loose. I had to improvise and apply some double-sided tape in it so the phone doesn't pop out of the case. Its not THAT loose but again its not firmly snapped on in there to the point where I feel comfortable with it.
I have the seido innocase II as well and I like it a lot better except for the fact that it slightly bubbles up my screen protector where the edges overlap (I have this OCD of flawlessness and it drives me nuts).
I've currently got the Defender but it's WAY too thick and the front bezel part is in the way too much.
In the past I've just used a basic slim TPU or similar case coupled with a vertical slide in holster. My problem has been finding a holster that is big enough to fit the phone with the slight bulk added by the cases I know of. Any thoughts?
I never drop my phones and they always look brand new when I sell them a year later, so the defender is way overkill for me...anyone interested in it because I'll be selling it when I find something new.

That looks pretty good, although it doesn't look like the camera portion is thick enough to protect the camera at all, even by a millimeter. Do you have one? Does it offer any protection at all?

Ok, so I got one anyway and the answer is NO, it doesn't protect the camera at all. The Camera bezel is perfectly flush with the case. That being said, it's the only real negative about it. It's SUPER easy to take off if you want to go naked for some reason, the holster works great and the case itself provides just enough grip and heft to make it easy to hang onto.
I'd say about a 8/10...
anyone want a lightly used Defender?
I use the Seidio Innocase but it might be too bulky for you as well :\
I'm searching for a holster/pouch/belt clip for my phone. It's not to protect the phone, but the headset instead. I always go around with the headset connected and eventually they go bad, possibly because my phone is always in my pocket and the cord gets alot of twisting. I'm now on my fourth headset since buying the phone last December, and think that to protect them better I need to wear the phone outside...
My phone already has a fishbone case, so the accessory has to be large enough to fit it. I also want the ports to be easily accessible, so the headset doesn't have to be disconnected when I take the phone out, and possibly so I can charge the battery on the go with my power bank. I've seen some possibilities, but they're typically too small to accompdate my existing case, or the clips come with cases themselves and probably wouldn't properly fit mine. So I'm seeking some advice to find a suitable clip/holster.

Out of the four cases I have tried for the Charge I think I finally found my favorite. The Trident Aegis has some problems as did all the cases I tried but it is the best. It comes in 5 colors and they look great. I got the blue one and it looks as good in person as it does on the site.
The materials used are very nice and the surface has a great anti-skid finish that provides great in hand grip. The hard plastic outer shell covers all 4 sides of the phone for a tight fit. It is thicker then the Otterbox Commuter at the phones curve at the bottom but I actually like that. It gives the phone a great feel when using it in landscape mode. Even though it is a bit bulky it does fit in pockets easily. The corners of the case are heavily padded for drop protection.
All of the ports are covered to prevent dust, moisture or any other unwanted substance getting into them. I found that the usb port was hard to open at times (I have no finger nails) and that the hdmi cover opens a little to easily. The power button and volume rocker are covered as well and easily accessible. One of the things I really like is the dust filter on the speaker opening. The speaker is loud and clear and will not be getting dust in it. The lip that goes around the screen is not as big as the Otterbox but provides just as good of protection.
The protection this case offers is great. Its not as heavy duty as the Otterbox Defender or the Trident Kracken II but it is good enough for every day use. It comes with a screen protector that I did not use. I would recommend this case without a doubt. While its not perfect its does correct the things that I did not like about the Otterbox Commuter and provides just as good of protection. If I can get access to a camera at some point I will post some pictures to go along with the review.
Thanks for all of the info. both here and via PM.
I want to hold out for the Kraken 2, but my Otterbox is driving me nuts so I might just grab an Aegis.

The top and the bottom edges of the Otterbox are not covered by the hard plastic so it is kind of loose. The buttons are also covered which I don't like and the hard plastic is kind of slippery.

I don't like how the top of the silicon portion isn't supported by the hard case, so it easily separates from the phone if you lift the phone by that area.
I also find that, while it's nice to slip in and out of your pocket, the hard case is too slippery for my tastes. It slides off of sloped surfaces and I've almost dropped the phone a few times now.
Personally, I like having the hard buttons covered, but the silicon that covers the buttons doesn't seem to fit tight against the screen, so debris can work its way underneath.
I never use the HDMI port, so not having it protected by silicon makes no sense to me.
Don't let my dislikes make it seem like it's a bad case, it's not, but I think the Aegis will fit me better. The Aegis should arrive tomorrow, so we shall see.
I'm thinking of making a short video to show the differences between the cases. I'll let you know when it's up.
Moondrius and Romemo,
Have either of you had the Incipio case before your trident case? I'm wondering how they compare. I'm surprised to see the trident case so slim since I always incorporate trident cases to be monsters.
I had the Incipio double cover and the Feather and both were sent back. The double cover was alright until I noticed it covered the hdmi port. It did seem thin and less bulky. The Aegis is the most bulky of the 3 but in a good way I would say. Its slightly thicker at the bottom. I would say I liked the Double Cover more then the Otterbox but I used it for like 5 minutes. The Feather was complete garbage. Its a shame because I really liked the Feather when I had my Atrix.
Thanks. I have the Incipio double cover. I really like it since I never use hdmi, not sure I can handle anything that would be bulkier.

Does verizon sell the Incipio case for the Charge? If so, how much do they ask for it? I really like the looks of the Incipio case and I am just trying to figure out if a covered HDMI port is worth it. I get 25% off accessories at Verizon so if the price is reasonable I wouldn't mind picking one up to try it out.
So I get my Charge on Monday. I have the cyclops series trident case for the fassy. It felt good. Overall I liked it. So I purchased the aegis. I bought it from the same ebay seller I got the fassy from: cyclopscase.
A good price too 23.33 with free shipping.

My dust cover for the hdmi port ripped off yesterday. I went to go use it and while pulling the tab off of the phone it just ripped right off. That tab is really flimsy and I used very little force around it.

Yikes... Yeah, that's a definite weak spot. I was thinking that, if I go back to my Aegis, I would just remove that cover.
Is it easy to take in and out of the case? I bought the media dock and the car dock, which leaves no room for a case. So I've been using the zagg shield that covers the entire phone. Problem is with the car dock, the sides have been tearing off due to putting the phone in and out of the dock. It's pretty useless, so I want a real case, but I don't want to buy a new car or media dock for it.
Does the Aegis come off and on pretty easily?

IMHO no. The hard outer shell is designed to be a reeeeally tight fit around the soft inside cover. As a current owner I wouldn't want to constantly take it off and put it back on for a car dock. Plus I think it would eventually wear on the buttons and dust covers.

I really want a Ringke case but that cut out really urks me. I know why they have it and I know most of them have it. Any good cases without it that are like ringke or at least in the same price range?
The G2x Bodyglove Grasp case is really really nice. They used to have em at walmart (mentioning that makes it seem like a cheap case, but ignore that because it isnt), but they seem to have stopped carrying recently.

I can always return it, its not a big deal. I couldn't find much on the case on the web and YouTube. What material is it and does it collect dust and are the power and volume buttons still responsive with it on? All the TPU cases I tried they were hard for me to use the buttons.
It's hard to explain, but the buttons are made with another material so it's very comfortable to push the buttons. It feels better than without a case actually. Ill see if i can take a picture for you

I bought this case the day I bought my phone, about two months ago. It's literally the best case I've had for any device. It isn't a hard case so it feels flexible in the hand. But it isn't a gel case, either, and feels sturdy enough to withstand. I recommend this case for sure. 9/10.

It's a weird polymer material. I've never felt another case like this one. The buttons are as easy to press as the phone naked. If its like $7 as the link said, I'd pick it up. I spent $14 on mine at WalMart and would gladly do it again.
hmm...I just ordered like 2 other $2-3 ones from ebay to test them out (literally yesterday or the day before - haven't even gotten them yet), but as soon as I saw this thread and the pictures, I bought it. lol
Cool :] Hopefully you like it as much as I do
I just got a Seidio Surface case from Amazon and it's by far the best case I have had for the G2x so far. I have a Trident Aegis case, which to me adds way too much bulk, but this one actually makes it nice to hold.

Yeah that case looks nice. I like the ringke case, I have come to just accept the corner cut out, still urks me but I'm over it. Its probably the best case I have owned, but with that said, it still has flaws. The sides are loose, and I'm really glad the case doesn't collect dust and lint but the camera lens which is exposed collects A LOT. as well as the corners of the screen

Ignore my ignorance but, why are the corners cut out on all the cases?
because theyre made for the O2X and the antenna for that phone is where the cutout is
Here are a few pics of the case I just got (At the mall) I'm not sure what brand but it fits nice and makes my phone feel better, at least to me. This was an O2x case (Corner cut out) but I don't think it looks bad.

That case sucks so badly. I returned it two days later. the rubber around the hard case edges peels and gets messed up after moderate usage putting in and out of pockets.
The white case-mate has been holding up for me perfectly fine. Had it 2 weeks now, looks as good as when I bought it.

SGP speaker cutout is not perfectly aligned, but it does not affect speaker volume at all. I've got the black one. I also bought the TPU case and Otterbox Impact case. The SGP is my favorite of the three. I returned the Otterbox & keep the TPu as a backup.
Keep in mind the SGP is perfect for someone who removes the case from the phone on a daily basis. Literally takes 1/2 a second to do.
But on the flip side, it's not a super tight fitting case. More like "adequate".
I ended up getting a clone of the SGP off Ebay for $9. It fits perfect. But it adds alot of bulk to the phone which I do not like. I think I will probably go with the ghost armour

Then it's not much of a "clone", since the SGP adds no bulk at all.

I have this white Casemate case from AT&T. It fits great and feels great when holding the phone. My only complaint is that the auxiliary cable that I use in my car cannot make a connection (no connection at all!) to the jack due to the hole in the case being too small. I don't want to buy another cable to fit the case. This was the only case AT&T had for this phone, too.

Yeah! I enjoy the hell out of mine, and the customer service, and quick shipping is awesome.
I received the white rearth usa case for my skyrocket early this week.
Very nice Case. I had to chuckle because the headphone plug is actually a bit too snug I think I'm going to have to gouge it slightly I have spot to grab on it to be able to more easily remove it to plug a headphone jack in.
I also wish it didn't expose the chrome side strip like it does, but its still a nice case. Very happy with it.
edit: Just realized when the plug is put in correctly there is a white tab that sticks out on the back to grab... whoops.
