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.

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.

That's a pretty sweet case.

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.

there's really not even a case for the Razr i?

Ye, there is. Look on eBay for an soft case RAZR I. U can get it from there.

I have a body glove dropsuit on mine. It's for the RAZR M, but it fits perfectly as long as you don't mind losing the camera button. It's also very slim, I love it!
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app

It may be the case that you are mistaken in your assertion that there are not cases built for this phone. Might want to case out cases for the Razr M. Some even have a camera button cut-out in case you need one. All depends on your usage case.

Have you looked at PDair dot com?
I ordered from the states, however it was delivered to the UK within a week.

Cheers for the link, I've still got some godwafwul bulky thing on mine that I got cheap off of ebay. Protects the phone, but looks awful and makes it pretty bulky.

i still search for a descent protective case

Also cannot find case which suits and protects well - all that separately yes, but not at once
Bought DC case (model Top30 XXL at local store) which suits very well, but last two milimeters of top part of mobile are going out of the case (corners), so my phone is not 100% safe once it falls in "good" angle. Anyway I like it for this time. Avoid those fake suede cases. Bought one and everytime I needed to pull that damn thing out It turned my pocket "inside out" ....
See dc-cases dot com.

You can get some decent cases for the Razr i on ebay, but to be honest, they suck. No good brands make them.

You can get some pretty cool snap on ones from a website on ebay called headcase.. I bought one, but if you want decent protection, they're not the best, thin plastic.... If you go to pdair.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=motorola+razr+i+xt890&order=name&dir=asc you can get some pretty decent ones, aluminium, rubberized, flip cases, they're in America so not sure about delivery timescale.

Seek eBay. There are a lot of them...

check this one out, its the one i'm using right now and fits perfectly http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310635918980?var=610180588948&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Seidio case
Hi all, just type seidio case for razr m on ebay. I got the Seidio Active Rugged Protector Case from a seller called sfplanet. A two piece case, the inner is made from soft silicon, the outer from a rigid but flexible plastic. Comes from America and costs around £30.00 with p&p but well worth it imo. Had it for nearly 3 months now. Seems very well made, fits perfect with all cut outs apart from the camera button but this does not stop the operation of button. In fact there is a slight ridge of extra silicon exactly where the camera button is which serves the purpose. Feels good in the hand, a lot less slippery. I have dropped it a couple of times but it hasn't left a mark. Have tried to upload some pics, sorry about the quality.

Cool stuff
Some cool stuff are going out. But I really want new roms.

I bought a Razr M otterbox for my Razr i. It fit and everything but it covered up the camera button. I hated that camera button anyway.

All the cheap cases on eBay for the RAZR I are pure junk. I've purchased and tried them all. I'm still looking a quality leather case.

I am using INCIPIO one. It's originally made for Razr M, but perfectly suits Razr i - the only difference is the camera button, but I never use it.
It's very thin (that was mine main criteria) and the material is great!
Plus they ship to Europe! The cover costed me around 25 euro overall.

Few days ago I ordered http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/motorola-droid-razr-m-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case for arroud 18$ on eBay. Before I used Ballistic case for Atrix and in fact it stretched but after almost one year so it's not so expensive to pay few $ for almost one year using.
This one is for RAZRm but I never used hardware camera button so event if sometimes case trigger camera I will disable this button with Tasker or in build.prop.
So my conclusion is: it's better to have good case than crappy (yes RAZRi has really crappy camera button) camera button.

recommendation for armband

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.

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.
http://www.niteize.com/product/Clip-Case-Cargo-Mobile-Device-Holsters.asp

^^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:

Thanks. That's a good find, might pick it up.

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.
