Hello,
Anyone know where i can get armband for the Dell streak, its hard to find one that fits 5" screen.
Thanks
LOL.....you are kidding aren't you?
dude......you need to go buy yourself an iphone so you dont go asking stupid questions like that around here again
I actually run in the mornings as well and have ALWAYS used my phone for my mp3 player when i do so, I would also like to know if anyone as found one.
My daughter would like to have her mp3 player back since i basically jacked it from her and wont give it back. Hers even has the micro sd slot so i can even listen ot my own tunes and i am not settled with her chick music crap. but it does not have blue tooth so i can use my stereo blue tooth headset that i have used for the past 3years. (i really got used to the no wire thing)
I also bike ride too and would love a way to strap it to my arm or somthing for that as well.
try a backpack... or one of those ancient things called a "fanny pack"
I suppose you could slip in under your sweat band...
I actually tried an old sweatband but it did not hold it very well. it would not even hold it accross the room.

have you tried tucking it into your panties
...just a thought
The problem with waist band type holders when jogging is that area takes a lot of shocks from landing feet which I think is partly why arm bands were invented in the first place. The Streak is too big to fit comfortably on the arm though I'd have thought.
Take a look at skiing accessory suppliers - a lift pass holder might work if you can find one large enough.

yea...i guess we will just have to wait till some company make one, till then we can't really use the streak while exercising.
Funny!
The funniest thread I've ever read!

" oh man i love my new laptop, i just wish it came with a armband so i could surf the web while im running"
in all seriousness though. a wrist strap would be a better idea since the phone functions in landscape. now that sh*t would be scifi. hell all you need to sort that out would be a rubber skin and some black nylon straps

Now that I would get.
What you need is a Cell-mate, Google it. Would be perfect for your needs and you can do away with the silly wires too then
what a bunch of obnoxious arses people have become lately..
I think I'll join in as well!
I'd quite like an armband for my streak, and it doesn't look too big on me, but then I'm not a 15yr child like some of the posters here are behaving like!
I use mine while exercising, i use it everyday cycling to work. I've taken to keeping it in a rigid sunglasses holder and have a belt fitting for that, but its not ideal although mytracks and mixzing running over bluetooth. Mytracks voice announce feature is superb.
But for navigation I need a better solution as I need to see the screen.
I don't understand what the big deal is here. I would like an armband too. Sure, I could get an MP3 player, but why? The streak plays MP3's. In addition to that, wearing it on your upper arm would work just fine with the landscape format...just lift your arm up a bit (as if you were looking at your watch) and it should rotate so that you can read things normally.
I got this thing so it could satisfy as many of my needs as possible. Using it at the gym to track my workout and listen to music falls under that category.
i was begining to think i was the only one that honestly was interested in this (other than the original poster) Thanks for chiming in guys.
I also wouldn't mind getting an arm strap, as long as it was designed well and not just a pocket that then wraps around your arm cos the then it wouldn't sit on your arm properly and would eventually swivel, loosen and then fall off due to the gap (phone being wide and flat and your arm being round).
I currently use a waist pouch fanny pack p*ss bag (its yellow ) thingy along with my bluetooth headphones and it works perfectly for me at the mo but then again, I don't run on the treadmills so I wouldn't know how it would cope then (I either cycle or use the Xtrainer). Still, nothing wrong with wanting an arm strap!
I was looking through PSP accessories for goodies to maybe modify, but the PDAIR flip case should meet MY needs. Long wait for it to get here though.
Give the guy a break.
Try one of these. Not sure how well it does with the weight but I attach mine to a camel bak when mountain biking
http://www.aquapac.net/ukstore/large-waterproof-armband-case-br-212-1122-0.html
I also use a bluetooth head phones for music so it can be sealed in. if you stick with wired head phones then you can half seal it in an still be secured

I just saw an armband for the mytouch at a Tmobile, but it was still behind the counter, so I think it's almost here.
I'm also waiting for it. I've been running with the phone in my pocket, but I get scared that it might get jostled to death.
they have armbands at walmart for ipods, I use it for biking. the phone fits perfectly with it and I can still use the touch screen also. its in the fitness section and its about $8.

wait and see what Tmo got
I have just ordered
iGadgitz Neoprene Gym Jogging Armband for Apple iPod Classic 80gb,
120gb & 160gb
Will post my findings, it got good ratings though.
Compared to ipod the Magic is like 10mm higher, 20mm thinner and not much slimmer. I THINK. Erm
EDIT: fits in well enough, feels secure, I like! I feel the need to mention Buddy runner here, awesome app.

They charge a lot for just about every accessory...
The rep at one of the t-mo stores here gave me the white charger and red gel for the price of the kit with the black charger and black gel...but I didn't get the mug included. Oh well, my wife got what she wanted for $10 less than I paid for them individually.
The store did not have the fitness kit. Wonder if they'll start selling the arm band separately. $5 arm band + $5 belt + $30 water bottle...lol.
There is a solution right now. I've used it for months on my Dream, but now that it's gone to that great cellphone store in the sky (phone died while flashing new rom) , I plan on using it for the Magic.
It all involves a case made by a company called Krusell. They make very high quality leather cases for both the magic and the dream . On the back is a mount that allows you to use your phone for running, bicycling, in your car, or just clip it in your pocket securely without the ugly clips that other companies use.
All of this is purchasable through Amazon.
Here is the link for the case for the Dream
http://www.amazon.com/Krusell-75431...12?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1256415764&sr=1-112
and here is the link for the sports pack
http://www.amazon.com/Krusell-Multi..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1256416577&sr=1-1
Now I'm willing to bet with a little bit of creative effort (and some superglue) you could pick up a less expensive case , and just scavenge the mount off the back of it. (for example the blackberry pearl case uses the same mount, but its 1/2 the price off of Amazon.)
had pretty good experience with this armband
http://www.staples.com/Griffin-Streamline-Sport-Armband-for-iPod/product_792628?cmArea=SEARCH
It has some flaws: back is not insulated so I had to wear it over my sleeve, a little hard to operate through thick front skin. But in general it's inexpensive, fits pretty well and does it job
I bought this Tunebelt. It is for the iPod Touch but fits the Magic like a glove. There is a hole in the bottom for headphone connector and you can control your touch when running.
I also use Cardio Trainer from the market and it is great.
SAMBO, Do you still like the iGadgetz armband?
Any new good Arm Band?
Or
Is Tune Belt AB5 worth the extra 7 £ compared to iGadgitz Neoprene?
amazon.co.uk/iGadgitz-Neoprene-Jogging-Armband-Classic/dp/B000WBDD56/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_title_0

I have one question about the Igadgitz. Is it possible to connect your headphones i the center-bottom, where the usb is placed on an Magic? I cant find at picture that confirms this possibillity
I use this one for some months now and I am totally happy with it:
iarmbands.com/LARGE-ARM-Universal-fit-Arm-Band-uab-010.htm
You can connect your headphones through a hole at the bottom but I prefer a stereo bluetooth handsfree. I bought this one from ebay:
dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8422
Definitely it isn't the best around but it is very handy when running because you can easily pause/skip tracks/adjust volume.
Hi
Just thought i would let you know about a case for the streak that i found ,it is a portable hard drive case such as the one below for the Dell Streak. I paid less than £5 for mine and the Streak fits perfectly, even with the 'form-fit case' attached. There is also room in the case for the data cable.

It seems like a box to me
Too big for my taste.

bluetooth, it's a great invention
Fair point, I tight bluetooth had gone out of fashion, I barely use it. I must be one of the few peeps that uses this phone like a normal phone.

I do as well, (and it doesn't look big on me) but when cycling I don't really fancy holding it up to my ear so I use a really nice bluetooth headset with stereo buds so I can listen to music, the nice lady from google mytracks, and answer calls)..
and the streak goes in a neat case (not that dissimilar to those posted except it was from aldi for sports sunglasses) and into my bag..
bluetooth trouble
i'm new to my DS and i've troubled by the bluetooth connection. i've already 'paired but still not connected' with other device. i've installed the support software from the market but still it won't worked. so frustrating just by the bluetooth. any suggest, anyone?

For travelling on long journeys I use a Case Logic hard drive case
http://www.caselogic.com/compact_portable_hard_drive_case/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=80400
the Streak fits perfectly in the bottom under the elastic band and in the top lid behind the netting I keep headphones, cleaning cloth, spare SD cards etc.
I can throw the case into my travelling bag without fear of damage.
Actually the OP's case looks the same and at a fraction of the price so that is a good find.
Magnetic Trick #1
Okay, so you are loving that you can sling a football game to your new NC while snacking in the kitchen, but your are stumped.....where can you safely mount your nook? If you purchased a Industriell Easel Cover, then your problem is solved. It turns out that the magnet, built to hold the clasp in place, is a very strong rare earth type. So strong in fact, that you can mount the entire thing on the refrigerator door. I know it seems risky, but the mount is surprisingly firm. Now, I not suggesting you attempt with house full of drunken Super Bowl buddies, or lot of active refrigerator friendly little ones about; but for breakfast news viewing you might find it handy.
****note: Any metal surface will work, you could for example use the side of the refrigerator if you find the door too risky. Please whatever you do, don't use the oven.
Magnetic Trick #2
Still not sold on this versatile NC cover? Then check out this second horizontal or vertical mounting option. Take a metal bookend holder, the old school library type, with the cork or felt protective base. Bend the vertical tab to your favorite viewing angle, then slide it between the flap and back cover. The magnets stick to the bookend, the mount is extremely stable ,and it looks nice to!
Very cool. Thanks for the info. Now if I only had a car from the 60's or older, this would make a perfect dash mount.
I shudder to think of driving an old car like that; drum brakes, metal rings on the steering wheel, no seat belts, metal dash and seats without head rests. How did people live though accidents?
OP thanks for solidifying my choice. I was on the fence before this idea of yours.

It turns out that I have such a car, and old 66 mustang convertible, and I used to drive it, single bowl drum brakes and all, in Houston traffic! Yes, I was younger, yes I was very very, okay, extremely stupid, but the funny thing was the way other people reacted. I had driven an old 3/4 ton company truck and it was dog eat dog.....brutal Darwin style driving, but when I hit the road in the Mustang, the traffic parted like for the Red Sea for Moses. People would wave me in, if you've ever hazarded the Houston Interstate nightmare you can appreciate how incredible that is. It was an amazing experience. Hmmm, you've got me thinking now, I might have go see if that thing will stick to the dash...........

The Nook Color works well with my slingbox, I think I have an AV model. I can also confirm that it tethers to my captivate (froyo 2.2 rom) and slings over cell network.
I almost learned about the magnet the hard way. Was home working on a computer and had my nook next to me with this case and just about set a hard drive down on top of it until I noticed all of the screws sticking together. I just figured the magnet was in the metal buckle and not the case. Never thought about sticking it to the fridge though. Tried it and it worked pretty well. THANKS!

Well, solid state drives are getting cheaper and faster every day. For that matter, I haven't used my venerable old laptop much since I fell in love rooting some nookie. If the recent breakthroughs in Bluetooth plays out I might have to retire the old girl.
Wow! I wonder how early BN opens...
very darn cool...I was trying to stomach getting the Lautner case, as I wanted it to look half descent but want portrait and landscape positions (landscape for airplane flights)...I may go with this...
Thanks to the OP...
I got my nook a week before my wife went into labor. When we were leaving the hospital I forgot my nook on the rook of our car. Our house is about 9 turns and 4 miles away with speeds from 40-60 mph. I got to about 1 mile away from home going 60 mph and I heard a thump. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw my nook on the spoiler. I stopped and everything was fine. I am betting the magnet helped the nook stay on top of our car and I am so thankful I got the case.
Bouncing Baby
Nice magnetic nook save and a new baby to boot. Heck a new baby is almost as nice as getting a new phone, even better because the baby will get continuous free upgrades for life. Samsung and HTC can't match that. All joking aside though,can you imagine how sad and primitive all Dads' hot technology will look to that little one twenty years hence? Well my best wishes to mommy, the little one......and congratulations to the new Dad!
I was planning on going to BN this morning to buy this case and use it with the book-end mod for landscape viewing, but then I found (and ordered) this:
It's under $20 and has 17 5-star reviews and 3 4-star reviews (out of 20 total reviews). There are also a couple of customer-contributed images of a Nook Color in a case sitting in it, in both portrait and landscape.
Hi jason, I saw that stand too and at the time I thought it might make a nice bedside stand. I went with the mag cover for the portability, the protective cover it would provide and, because of my poor impulse control..., the old "I have to have it right now". Its best feature, the magnetic component, was an unexpected bonus.
I'm still interested in how your stand performs, stability wise or, any such observations you might wish to share, once you take the plunge and get some user experiance.

Dilemma, I have a nook color and the kids are bugging me to watch movies in the backseat of the car with it. I am looking for a mount that can strap to the two front seats headrests and basically allow the NC to hang in the open space between the seats. Has anyone seen such an item for the NC yet? I have three kids back there so middle location mounting for the NC is a must.
Yea, I was thinking about the same thing. I'm going on a trip in two weeks and would love to get some ideas from people. I was thinking of rigging something up with bungie cords.
Ebay is your friend... This looks to be a universal dock for Ipad and Galaxy tab, so we should fit being in the middle of the two devices.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Car-Headrest-Mo...ultDomain_0&hash=item255d934bd8#ht_1864wt_831
Not sure about the middle placement, but this is what I did in my infiniti.. (kind of a hack, but no drilling or cutting was required)
Thanks for the tip on the eBay item; I will keep that in mind for rear mounting to one headrest. I am going to keep on the search for something I can do between the two seats so I don’t have kids attacking each other back there trying to see the movie!!
I am considering getting a cheap silicone sleeve for it and then super glue some sort of strap to the back of the sleeve, to hang between the two seats. Likely will not look pretty but may serve its purpose if I can’t locate a "true" device to meet my needs.
PS- your hack looks pretty darn good for GPS usage!

Jeez man, you hit the brakes hard and that will act as a sling shot shooting the nC back into your kid's faces. I would try to find something that will hard attach to the center console if you have one. Don't use bungy cords or anything like that unless you budget some dental work to go with it.

Yeah point taken! I guess I typed my last comment faster than my mind was processing it. I will consider the kids safety first with my design- if I ever get around to building this. I think I will look at those dvd bags they sell at the store for portable dvd players that mount between two seats and get some ideas from one of those.
Anyone know of an accessory that would help my Shift stand by itself, such as when taking a picture? Or maybe a DIY stand?
Thanks!
Never heard of one. Evo users always flaunt their stand like it's a big deal. Never seen the need for one.
The main use I see for the stand that Evo users use it (or any phone with a stand for that matter) for is for playing movies and music. (This is why I have an HP touchpad).
I actually went to breakfast with a friend today that has a Windows Phone 7 on T-Mobile with a stand and tried to start watching netflix.
I then started laughing at him because he couldn't get service and I said hold on let me turn on my "4g". Turned 4G on, got connected and then I said "Oh wait.. I cancelled netflix 3 months ago."
Moral of the story: It's useless. And there is only 1 camera on the phone and it's on the back. So I guess you could DIY a stand for the camera but honestly I just don't find it very practical or see a high demand for it.
Don't let me stop you from googling it further or creating a DIY tutorial though. Never really cared for this feature on my phone. More important than a stand to me is that lovely hardware keyboard.
i do enjoy my keyboard
thanks for the help!
If you look in amazon for tripods for cameras, there's one that comes with a clip that can hold your phone so you can user your camera with the timer mode.

You could get a car dock that has a suction cup and one of those bean bag things that are used in cars for the gps. May be slightly bulky but would be a fine short stand.
I have a setup similar to this for my car and could use it as a tripod in a pinch.

If you just want it to standup like the Evo does with it's kickstand you can easily modify one of those little white plastic things that come in pizza boxes to do the trick.

TEAM MiK
Mik Roms Since 3/13/11
i haven't seen one specifically for the Shift yet, and i'm surprised no one has created a case with one built in. hell, i'm just happy the MikShifted-G ROM lets me use the volume button to take a pic lol. pressing the button without looking at the screen was a pain in the ace.
I used an old cd and used a lighter to soften it up to bend it into shape I could work with, I only use it while listening to music.
Got the idea from some DIY site and it has worked fine for my needs.
I found that a PSP-1000 stand works great... unless the app has a fixed landscape and doesn't rotate. However I could just tilt the shift so the usb plug fit underneath and the stand still functioned (if at an odd angle). It doesn't hold the phone securely, so no carrying it around in the stand but it is good enough to withstand a table bump.
