Running armband or waist pack

Anyone seen an armband or maybe either a waist pack for a running belt that would hold the Note 4? I'm trying to find something that can hold it in an Otterbox case without having to take it out of the case for each workout. I can't even find an armband that would fit it naked and it doesn't fit in my Nathan running belt's pouch.

Won't let me post a link, but search SPIBelt on Google. I use one with my note 2 with a large case, haven't tried to fit my note 4 in it yet. They work great, if you have it adjusted right, and are wearing it correctly, it doesn't bounce around at all, and you can hardly tell it's there.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SUPCA...B00MP3P6X6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp_Ow6tub1DH3SDJ_tt This one looks very promising but I haven't pulled the trigger yet...
*EDIT* I made the purchase now. The price has gone up from $7.99 to $11.99. I waited long enough..missed the deal but will really be kicking myself if it goes up in price again.

I second the spibelt
http://www.spibelt.com/products/spibelt/large-pocket-spibelt
This is what I purchased for my note 3 and still using it for my note 4. I have an armband for the note 4 as well but I can't tell you how ridiculous it feels and looks having a 5.7 inch phone on your arm. Might as well carry a boombox like the 80's...Seriously though I catch a good ribbing from friends who say I have a fanny pack but the spibelt is barely visible and you don't even realize it's there, holds phone, keys, cards, etc... I can do running and jumping rope and nothing moves in it. It just stays put, it's fantastic.

This belt goes over my shorts and my shirt covers it, nobody sees a darn thing unless I am pulling my phone out of it. But if you think a gigantic phone strapped to your upper arm looks any less funny, you are nuts! Besides I could care less how it looks, it holds everything I need it to so when I go jogging I don't have a phone on my arm, and keys jingling in my pocket. If I need to change music I just use my bluetooth headset or moto 360.

This might work. Used it with my G3. Have not tried it with my N4. It had lot's of stretch room.

I have one of those too. Used it for my note 2 since using an arm band was extremely awkward. Lol. Works real well.

So.. I ordered the SUPCASE Armband. I would not recommend this case in any way for using it as an armband while running. It's basically just an extremely flimsy Silicone/TPU bumper case with two holes in the back for the strap to run through. From the pictures on amazon it looked like it was going to be made out of some sort of Plastic/Silicone. But I wouldn't dare go running knowing that any minute my $700 phone to flip right out.. or go kaaboom from the silicone ripping around the band. Anyways.. have it on eBay now.

Bump.
I want an armband because in the gym I use equipment and do exercises that would put pressure on something attached to my torso. Any more learnIng since November 5?

So this is the one I've made my everyday use. Absoutley ZERO rain or sweat gets into it. Stays in place and super comfortable. Hands down the best armband I've ever used. Expensive option in my opinion but after owning its worth every penny. They should carry these in your local Best Buy store.

So this company makes one called the i-40 and is their biggest model designed to hold both Note 4 & iPhone 6 plus. The one I have (i-35) will not allow for any case at all.. Very tight fit and from their website says its designed for the Note 3 but once I tried a test fit in best buy I decided that one would work for me. I can only assume that the next largest one should be able to fit the Note 4 with a case...no problem. It's also $5 more for the i-40

I know these are meant for bicep mount... Has anyone tried forearm mount?

I have this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ID1I2XK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is snug with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case on, so it might not fit with the Otter Box. I use it at the gym only so I don't know how water proof it is.

To case or not to case?

I've ordered 3 cases, received 2 so far. Both are just ok. Nothing looks as good as the naked phone. What caseems (if any) is everyone using? Those who don't use a case, do you worrun about scratching the camera or screen when laying it down? Thanks.

I keep my phone in a sunglass bag and in general it's always worked well. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the S6 because one drop can crack the entire back. Plastic may not be "premium" but it is a lot harder to break. That being said I'm not even sure a case would prevent a crack just from shock rather than a direct hit. It'll be interesting to see how many phones get messed up in the next couple of weeks.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

A lot of reviews seem to indicate that the S6 is rather slippery. That alone would warrant a case for a lot of people, I'm sure. It prompted me to order one.
A case probably won't save the phone from a high drop, unless getting something pretty bulky. I'd rather get something slimmer to protect the edges and back from scratches and chips and just be diligent about not dropping it. The case I got is the gunmetal version of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Though I think they sent me the slate one by mistake because the color is nothing like the pics on Amazon...

As painful as it will be, I'd suggest using a case. I went with a case from LUVVITT that has a transparent scratch resistant back. So while I can't see the metal sides of my phone, I can at least see the back of the phone, plus at least I know it's safe

I'm going to put a case on first months because I need to get used to shape and form I'm always clumsy first months now I use my s5 without any protection since September nothing happen but on first months the more I take care the more I hit the phone on surfaces.

i've always used the flygrip on my devices but also always used it on a case , i never ever ever have droped my phone once my fingers are locked into the flygrip. i will however be putting a case on this device.

i just ordered this same case, but in clear. hopefully i can stand having it on my phone. i should have put the phone in a case the moment i got it, so i that i would not have enjoyed it for a few days without one and i wouldn't want to continue to carry it without one. haha.

will the otter box cases be ok with the wireless charging pad ?

It's on the way I should receive it day 10 then I post pictures myself I always buy 2 or 3 cases in the first months after that I use it without a case

Already Ordered front and back Tempered glass with metal bumper case. and didn't receive anything yet.
That combo worked fine with my Z2

Agreed. I have the regular S6 and with the glass on the front and back, it can slip right out of a loose pocket. EASILY. I bought the Spigen NeoHybrid case and I have zero complaints on it.

The official Otterbox site says "no" (at least for the Commuter cases), but lots of anecdotal evidence gives a qualified "yes." I suspect Otterbox's flat refusal is so nobody will ask for their money back if the wireless charging doesn't work.

The longest I've ever used a case was maybe two days. I hate cases because they make the phone feel bulky and I prefer to feel the actually phone.
But a couple weeks I dropped my Z3 on tile, cracked the front glass and part of the screen doesn't respond to touch. So, the S6 case is on the way. I'll save money in the long run from having to replace screens.

Phone skins are really great to add style to any phone, plus they’re not expensive, but they provide minimal protection if you happen to drop your phone. On the other end of the spectrum are cases, which are generally more expensive but offer much more protection. Cases are bulky and they don’t let the beauty of your phone show through because they often have to cover all four edges as well as the back of the phone.

That’s where CrashGuard by RhinoShield comes in. CrashGuard is essentially a bumper case, which means that it does not cover the back of your phone but only the sides (thus giving your device a more “naked” feel), but because of how it’s engineered, it provides more protection than most cases. CrashGuard is far superior to the bumpers of the past because it has been engineered to absorb impact. This is done by utilizing a proprietary polymer material that is far more shock-absorbent than plastic, and it also has a protective honeycomb structure within the bumper to disperse impact properly. In fact, within the honeycombs are compartments of pressurized air that act as airbags and deflect impact energy. If that sounds really elaborate, it is, and the net result is that you can drop your phone from a variety of heights (up to 11 feet) and if you have a CrashGuard bumper on the phone, you’re going to have a completely unmarked phone. If you want to see how incredible this protection is, watch this video from David Pogue where he does everything in his power to smash his phone by dropping it from a tall ladder.
Not only are CrashGuard bumpers durable, but they’re lightweight (with most of their bumpers coming in under 14 grams). They’re also pretty grippy thanks to the matte finish, and they come in a variety of colors. Another thing we really like about the CrashGuard line is the pricing: the Pixel XL is priced at $24.99, and you can pre-order a CrashGuard for the Pixel/Pixel XL.
Use discount code "XDAFTW" for 15% off until November 10, 2016. Check out the RhinoShield store here.
Thanks to RhinoShield for sponsoring this post and contest.

Where is the blue to match VZW true blue? Anyways, good bumper, true bumper, is always welcomed!

Any pictures of the bumper? How wide is it?

Any plans for clear and or orange?

This bumper added a lot of widness/tallness on the 6P and I imagine this will be the same. It will probably be manageable due to the Pixel's smaller size (XL included), but still... I'd like to see them make a more minimalistic bumper too.

Loved the crashguard on my Nexus 6P, so I might as well get this too for my Pixel XL

I just hope this Bumper is better than the crappy one Verizon sold for the Moto Z Force. That thing really was bad. The best bumper ever was the Nexus 4 I think, the all glass Nexus. That bumper was great looking.

I can say that this bumper is great, I have it already and it adds very little bulk to the device. I didn't like it in the 6P so much cuz it made it very wide.

You guys should try it in person, it made my 6P horrendously large and hard to hold that I returned it.

Reviews looks pretty poor on the Pixel Xl version. Is there gonna be a revised 2.0 version?

I've received mine today.
I was using a Spigen rugged armor before and the bumper feel so much nicer. It doesn't really make the phone wider and it feel good to touch the glass/metal

I've seen such mixed reviews on this bumper. Right note I'm using a cheap tpu car and it's ok but I'm looking for something more premium. My wife just dropped and shattered her iPhone today and I'm thinking I need to bump up my protection but I hate bulkiness

Yeah, I don't get it. Some are saying maybe it's the first batch that is an issue. I have such a hard time taking the bumper off and I'm even scared that I would damage my phone putting so much force on it just to remove a simple bumper. It's such a shame cause I really like having it on my 6P and it feels real nice on the Pixel except for the tight feel. You can't even put a DBrand skin on it with the bumper cause it'll scrape off the edge.
I've reached out to them to see if there was an issue with the first batch. And if they say no, then I would not recommend them to anyone.

I can confirm its pretty tight.
I tried to remove it and I couldn't. I'm also scared that it will crack my screen from the pressure needed.
Even with the bumper in, I can still use it in my daydream so I won't bother to remove it at all.

So, I just decided to buy another one but from Amazon this time, which has mix reviews. This one still has a tight fit but not as bad as the one I pre-ordered from RhinoShield. Their response to me was to make a video and direct me on how I can get it off. Did not feel like putting that one back on because it's just that dam frustrating. Don't know how many people that had issue actually emailed them but I think they should take the review more seriously and actually test it themselves. At this point, I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Unless they want to test their luck on getting one that isn't so tight.

Those who are using this bumper, is there any problem with 3.5 mm jack? Heard that its difficult to plug in and out headphones and IEMs, is that true?

Mostly an issue with headphones with a 90 degree connector. My favorite IEM has one and I can't use it with the bumper. I am waiting on some adapters to remedy this but they will negate the benefits of the 90...

There are NO case yet online at all

I really would like a case option. I like the peace of mind of a case or at least a thin bumper. I can't find any but wallet cases on eBay and Amazon. Essential website has no accessories but the 360 camera. I already have a phone on the way I would really like a case.

I'm in the same boat. I cannot find anything available either. Would have been nice for Essential to sell something alongside the phone.

This is probably why there aren't cases. The 3rd party manufacturers typically get a cad render or a demo unit early to have their cases ready for launch. Hopefully Spigen or someone gets a case out quick. I'm fine going day to day without but when I go out I want a case.

Well there are a bunch of screen protectors already. (I already have a pack) but I am hoping I can run this phone naked. The only reason I got a case for my Nexus 6P is because of the soft as butter aluminum that was used on it that allowed the edges to scratch if you just looked at it sharply. I used a HTC 10 prior that didn't have this issue and it shows when one manufacture uses a softer form of Aluminum than another.
The one thing that does irk me is the curved edge to the screen. Why nearly all the latest phone designs have this is beyond me since you aren't doing the actual curved edge like a Samsung, why the heck are you trying to copy them with the subtle curve on the edge that just attracts scratches like nobody's business if you run naked, and a screen protector doesn't fit exactly to the edge because nobody makes a curved one for anything that isn't an iPhone/Samsung device so you get only partial coverage and if you don't put it on jussst right, the edge might lift just enough to be caught at some point when you put in into a pocket, causing gunk to get in there and ruin the protector.
I am hoping that the near edge screen means the curve at the edge is smaller than say, the Pixel, but we will see once it is in hand.

I have found Skins,... Dbrand Skins I'm definitely thinking about this and a screen protector, but more than almost anything I want the heft and feel of the Essential Ph-One more than anything,...

Not so sure I'll go for a case. Here is one that popped up on amazon. No real pictures of the Ph-1 version makes it questionable...

I really wish this came with the same shatterproof screen that Motorola has. That combined with the titanium and ceramic really would make this phone the most durable phone out there of modern day, right up there with the old legendary Nokias. And then we definitely wouldnt need cases for any reason.

From the reviews on the Moto screen is that it might not break but gets scratched all to hell just in your pocket.

Yes cause it's some form of plastic. But much easier to prevent scratches than cracks with a simple film

Don't need a case, LOL. So they are replacing broken screens for free?

Then put a tempered glass screen protector on and it solves both those issues for you while retaining a screen that won't break even if it falls badly. Easy solution guys.....

I reached out to Spigen. From their answer I think Spigen wants to make a case. But essential isn't giving them information. At least for now...

Dbrand is making skins for it. So if you want to protect the back there you go.

No ship date yet though . They are probably waiting for their own essential phone to make them. Then it will take another week or two to ship.

Recommend any good cases?

Hey guys,
Im looking for a case for my phone but i'm extremely unsure what to get, anything that'll look after the phone without getting damaged. I'm not interested in those flip cases because I know they wont last long as I seen someones case literally been torn apart within a month not sure if it was from excessive use but it looked nasty af. Your recommendations will be appreciated greatly!

If you like the look the black Spigen case hands down. I've been using this model on my Onyx and 6p both still like the day I bought. This case can withstand the hardest of drops even on concrete.

I've been pretty happy with this one:

Survived a few drops.

I've used this one for a few years (E LV). Dropped the phone on concrete and its been fine. for 10 bucks you get basically two cases one with a kickstand and one with a belt clip.
Nexus 6P CASE, E LV Shock-Absorption - Dual Layer Armor Holster Defender Full Body Protective Case Cover with Kickstand and Belt Swivel Clip for HUAWEI Nexus 6P - [BLACK]
The edges of the case has become a bit chipped now from dropping the phone a bunch, and it is plastic.
I apparently can't post links yet.

I used these cases;
Spigen Neo Hybrid EX 7 / 10
Perfect fit. Perfect Protection. Good looking. But case started turning yellow after a while.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid 6/10
Perfect fit. Good Protection. Good looking. Gets yellow after a while too
Spigen Rugged Armor 10/10
Perfect fit. Perfect Protection (dropped many times, and my little son throwed it almost everyday ) But it still protect.
If you want to protection , I strongly recommend that case.
(All cases bought from Amazon.)

Been using a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle since day one....Has withstood many drops from as high as my lifted Jeep onto the roadway. Love this case, still retains much of the great look of the 6P as well, until I slapped a big piece of metal on the back for my magnet mount in the car. I have also used the same iCarez screen protector since day one, no lifting, no cracking, nothing just a beautiful tempered glass screen protector that has withstood the test of time. FULL DISCLAIMER, I love my devices and I take great care of them. I avoid damage, immersion, destruction for the most part but we aren't perfect and accidents happen. That being said, if you are someone that beats the crap out of everything you use, you may want something stronger.

Buy them, you won't be disappointed.

I bought a Spigen case, I didn't like it. It leaves a grease like substance that gets all over the screen. I just leave it nude cause I hate cases anyway

That doesn't sound right I would of sent it back. Either you got a knock off or factory defective.

After making this post I looked at it again. Ran it under water to clean and try it again. It seems to be just a waterproof coating wearing off on my hands
Still couldn't recommend it because of that

My Nexus 6P survives well with the incipio case.
The screen protector has not shattered/scratched since I've bought it 2 and half years ago.
It fell a lot and didn't die so i guess this case is great ^^
