There are several varieties available on Ebay.
I've got this vision of it looking like a medieval shield if I were to mount it on my arm.

The best thing I ever did for using my phone while working out was get a bluetooth headset. Obviously that costs a little more than an armband though usually lol. I got the rocketfish ones off ebay for like 20 or 30 bucks though.

I usually use an armband and a bluetooth headset!
Here：http://dx.com/s/armband+case+Galaxy Read these reviews before you are going to place an order.
I still haven't decided on whether or not I want to take mine into the gym. Thanks for the link though, it'll help me make my decision.

I am a loyal "tunebelt" fan and have used them since I had an HP Ipaq HX4700 about 8 years ago, I have an e-mail into them now asking what they have for the note 2. It will likely be their universal ab85 case but I will come back to this thread if/when I get an armband. i will also follow this thread to see what others come up with.
The items I see on amazon have a lot of plastic-y parts on the arm part, my tune belts have always been all neoprene with a plastic window, not the most "air flow" material. I cant bring myself to use one of these "packs".
Cant wait to develop the "note 2 farmer tan" lol.
I am waiting for my VZW Note 2 and I realized that for my kind of physical activities (Mtn Biking(Dirt Jumping specifically), Skiing, cycling) I am better off busting out my old iPod touch.. I dirtjump on my bike and I have broken 4 phones so far and I have learned my lesson.. I have an old iPod touch that I leave sitting in my car as my Music Hub with ~3000 songs on it that has turned into my "There is a possibility of killing this electronic device doing this activity" Device..
On my phones I use Spotify 95% of the time, but I figure I will just download a playlist of 200 songs I listen to most, on top of my already existing library and call it good.. If I am on the way to go ride, I can just kick up my hotspot and download music to the iPod then (less then ideal, but works)
Pros-
- I dont have to worry about breaking my pretty new N2.
- iPod is about half the size and the battery lasts 10x as long
- If I break my 6 year old iPod, I am not really any worse for the wear..
-Doesnt look like I have a cookie sheet hanging on my arm or in my back pocket..
Cons
- I cant use Spotify anywhere..
- Another device to manage..

HA! large phone joke. too easy. :laugh:
Does anyone else have any input on this? I really want to get a armband for this. I don't care how silly it looks. I get the last laugh while watching movies on my mini tv from my arm lol. I don't actually plan on watching anything but just having it secure on my arm rather then my pockets is what I am after.
i've been using one from ebay, seller named shimshop and the item is called "SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 II N7100 LTE SPORTS GYM RUNNING ARMBAND POUCH CASE COVER" and it works well. the only thing is that the headphone hole doesn't line up exactly with it, but you can simply fix that with a little cut with some scissors, the material doesn't rip more than what you cut, so dont worry about that.
Got this one for $5 shipped on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VOISGY/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
It recently arrived. Shipping took a little longer (2-3 weeks) than expected but it works fine. It's a little tight with a TPU case on so I had to take it out and slip it in bare. :good: The padding is sufficient for me.
17 - 31 days for shipping? Damn that's a bit too long for me.

I too having been scouring retail stores looking for an armband for my Note 2.
I'd love one that has an extra spot for a key, there's so much real estate that comes with a note 2 armband, whats a little storage? The above link looked promising but that's way too long to ship.

I mentioned above an ebay seller who I recently bought my armband from, this armband came with a key slot, my key fits very snug.
I also bought the amazon one that kipghost linked. I bought this one first before the ebay armband. The amazon armband's velcro wasn't as secure as I'd like, but the phone does fit well without any tpu case. I ordered mine from the $0.01 +shipping seller. One problem I noticed was that my volume keys kept getting pushed while I ran, turning up the volume really high or off randomly.

So I ended up buying this one, got it in 11 days, so quicker than I expected. Going to try it out tomorrow.
EDIT: The band popped loose on my first rep at the gym. I can see this thing maybe working for cardio workouts for me, but not lifting. I don't know how big my biceps are but if you buy this and you try it on and only have the end of the strap coming through the loop before finding back over, it's unlikely it will work for you too.

I spent 30 bucks on the otterbox for Xperia play
I want my money back now.
It's the biggest load of crap I've seen the company make
Main FLAW
When the phone is close the case actually pushes the screen off the keypad portion of the device.
The reason is because the case has 5 clips on the bottom holding the lower portion on
The clips are so big that when you close the phone it actually causes them to touch each other (the bezel one and lower one)
causing a huge gap inbetween the two parts. Almost enough its scaring me
I took the case off. Not using it now.
The second problem. The L and R buttons do not work
The otterbox company assures you they will work but trust me they dont.
The silicone is very thick and it is not responsive or ductile at all
You cant get it to manipulate to push the buttons unless you have a death grip on the phone.
The volume rocker is EVEN WORSE.
All in all I would rate this case a 2 of 5.
Very dissapointed in Otterbox and probably wont buy any more of their overpriced crap
Especially after my Droid X Otterbox defender broke (holster snapped in half)
I would email them your complaint. I have had 2 otterbox cases before one for Droid 2 and the other my Cperia play. Mine didnt have any issues with pushing the screen, a,thought one of the clips did break. I email them about the broken case and they replied asking me for my name and address and 3 days later I had a free replacement. If you really dont like the case email them and ask for your money back. It doesnt hurt. But to be honest about otterbox their customer service is really good. Not just from me but 2 of my family members.
I did email them today
We will see what happens
I would take a replacement or I would take money back
either way. Aslong as I can use the dang thing
why would you need one when you have the Xperia Play's gamepad?

Trident is the way to go. I bought one and no complaints with the case at all. Gives the power and volume buttons a nice feel to them. I find it easier to use them now with the case.
otterbox is poor
trident aegis the best
bought a £3 gel case from ebay also did the job probably best vfm
I also bought an Otterbox for my Play last year hearing glowing recommendations from here and some other forum.
Used it for a day, did not like it at all. My problem was that it wouldn't stay on - it would pop right off if I put pressure on certain spots (which together cover probably 80% of the case).
I replaced it with some no-name crystal clear hard case from eBay which only cost me something like $6 shipping included. Fits perfectly and stays on, and all the buttons are more accessible than they were on the Otterbox, and does not interfere with the slider or any buttons or the speaker/mic. It is slimmer than the Otterbox and has a smooth finish which helps get it into and out of my pocket more easily. I am very much pleased with this case which was only 1/5th the cost of an Otterbox.
I wanted the otterbox for ny play, but been hearing bad news with r&l buttons.. so i went and got the one from verizon and it loooks sick. It shows off the ericson logo and xperia. Im not downing otter my, friend dropped his iphone 4th floor. The case didnt make it but the iphone like nothing ever happend. I really recomend the verrizon case sleekest case for the play.

You forgot to mention that it's almost impossible to use the face buttons without inadvertently making touch screen selections because they raised the bottom edge and it's too close to the buttons.
Anyway, I filed off some of the clips that weren't needed so I doubt I'm eligible for a refund.
I've just received my otterbox and the back clips just doesn't 'clip'..
I can push at hard as I want and even push them in, they always come back..
Is there any way I can get a refund while I've bought it on ebay (new - sealed)?
Ok, I have a 10" plain Targus pouch I used with my HP Touchpad last year, but it clearly is twice as big as my nexus.
This was the only case I was able to find with similar padding to the touchpad case I have. Are there any better/cheaper suggestions out there? (I only say cheaper because I have seen many cases going for $5-10)
I also found this but I have no idea if it's as well padded as the case I linked earlier.
I just ordered a timbuk2 Kindle fire pouch. It should fit perfectly

I just received the T-Mobile Tech21 Universal 7 inch Leather Sleeve from All4Cellular (can't post the actual link since I'm new, but just go to their site and search under the name or search for D3O). It uses D3O anti-impact technology and I could not be happier. The Nexus 7 is quite snug inside and it even comes with a strap that allows you to pull the tablet out quite easily. I have to say that I am quite happy with it as it almost feels like it was made for it.

A little pricey but I have no problem paying for great products made in America. Their website is here: http://www.sfbags.com/ with the link to the sleeve at http://sfbags.com/products/tablet-cases/sleevecases-tablet.php When ordering you need to order size 31-19 which isn't currently in the drop down.

I really like Waterfield, too -- I have had several laptop cases from them. Pricy, always, though; and I'm still kicking myself over giving away the netbook case (don't judge ) with the netbook.
It looks like they updated that page with one just for the Nexus 7, now, too! I had one of their ultrasuede pouches for a phone once too, it was very nice.
I'm debating between their bag you bought and their travel case (for the Galaxy Tab 7, but with the size it should be enough). Basically I was thinking of getting one with the straps; I have a quick question, about the Ultimate Sleevecase, though, if you don't mind. I can see on the page that it has the back envelope area like their laptop cases, how much room is there in that? Can you slide a USB cable in there, for example, or a phone? Thanks!

I ordered that one too... I expect to get it today.
I just plan on keeping a screen cleaner in the extra pocket.
Here is an excellent pouch that is similar to the roocase that others have pointed out, but much cheaper. I received it the other day (still waiting on my N7) but the quality and padding on this thing is fantastic! It comes in 4 or 5 different colors (I purchased black) and it only costs $6.99, free 2-day prime shipping. Love it!
One of the image notes says an N7 fits in it nice and snug. It's the best zip sleeve I could find for the quality/price/shipping time. And the reviews all have 5 stars, so others seem to like it as well.
I cannot post links yet, so search Amazon for: "Neoprene Zip Sleeve Case Cover" and it will be the top results.

Wow -- thanks! That's perfect. Seeing that the charger can squeeze in the back makes me think it can handle whatever I wanted to throw at it.
Im looking for a small backpack for when I want to travel ultra light and just have my nexus 7, plus a few other bits and pieces.
I already have a 13" laptop backpack.. the only things I can seem to find online that are small in size are messenger style bags... as I do a lot of cycling to get about, I prefer backpacks though as messenger bags tend to swing about a bit whilst cycling.
Any links would be much appreciated!

No mention of cost so I will recommend chrome bags. I have 3 different styles that I use and they are well known for making bags that work well for bike couriers.
I use my most recent bag from them, victor, just as you describe. It is just big enough for my nexus, a few cables, a usb thumb drive and a wifi hotspot. The main pocket secures with wide strips of good, strong, durable velcro. I have no problem trusting it.
However, if you need something a little more versatile and secure, I would suggest getting a mini-metro. I have one of these as well and use it for anything and everything when I need a little more space than the victor. It is probably the best of the three that I have for cycling due to an extra strap that goes under the arm to keep the bag from moving. This one is a bit bigger than what you need but doesnt really seem big unless you stuff it.
I have the classic messenger also, but it is less secure/ loose so I would not recommend it for use as you have described unless you are just carrying stuff a short distance. This one is not as ideal for cycling.
Here are a few pics of the victor with the stuff I carry in it:

Check out the Camelbak Mule or Lobo. (sorry, they won't allow me to post a link) I have the mule and it works great. If you don't need the water reservoir you can use that pocket for your nexus 7, it is padded and fits in nicely. That leaves the main compartment for other things and the small pocket for keys, wallet, etc.

I did read it, but I'm still going to recommend a messenger... The timbuk2 ipad mssenger is really good, and the strap tightens up so that it doesn't swing and actually sites really nicely on your back. The cushioned pouch is way big for the N7, and there's also a decent sized main compartment. On top you get a passport pocket, card holders, and a zip compartment with more slips inside it. Yet it's really small! I am amazed at how much I carry with this thing. IT's become my work bag, holiday bag, and festival bag all in one. I got it from Dell for £50 in the UK.
I know it's supposed to be backpack related, but I don't think that you'll have an issue with swing on this one, and it really is amazing quality for the money.
Having read this thread though, I really want the Chrome Victor too. Looks awesome.
I use a Kifaru E&E for the purpose you mention. It is more like a pouch with straps. Light and very well built.

I like that one. I have been looking at getting a maxpedition fatboy versapack eventually but this seems to be a contender for the same category. I will have this one bookmarked for when the Microsoft Surface Pro comes out.
Thanks for all the links guys, Im going to check them out this evening
Ok, so I've checked them all out.
The Belkin slim too big for my purposes... I already have the incase which is great, but Im now looking for something smaller. Ive shortlsted the following (btw, I didnt realise there was such a thing as a 'slingback' until today, these also seem to fit the purpose as the sit on the back) :-
Chrome Victor
Timbuk 2 catapult sling
Camelbak mini-mule or lobo
Eddie bauer slingpack
So these should give an idea of what I'm after if anybody else has anything else to suggest.... thanks in advance!
Are you in the US or Canada?
Take a look at daypacks for rock climbing - the smallest ones are usually big enough for a pair of climbing shoes, a water bottle, a chalk bag and a couple of snacks. You won't carry any of those, really, but the point is they're small packs.
In Canada, MECs got a few choices: http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/Packs...newSortType=price&newSortOrder=ascending#list (sort by price, lowest to highest). The Blitz Crag Daypack is only 7.5L (450 cu. in).
You can probably find something similar in the States at REI or EMS.
Why not try looking for net book accessories. They're pretty small and will probably do the trick.
This one is leather so it might not be exactly what you're looking for.
Amazon
How about a street pack from Dakine? They're small, well made, and usually come with a lifetime warranty. I'm thinking the 13L would be a good bet. It's cheap too!

Got myself a cheap temporary dock for my Note 2 until I get the ProClip one in a month or two (waiting till after xmas). Found this one on Amazon for a nice $20. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FH716W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I like it so far. Very stable and has a good range of motion to it. No vibrations at all, (does start shaking a little bit when doing 150).
Also works nicely to hold it as a dash camera.
Also holds my phone with no problem with the Body Glove case on it.
Oh and that white square isn't part of it. Thats one of my NFC tags to start Waze and CoPilot whenever I put it in the dock.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer them as best I can.
Anyway, here's some pictures:

This dock is technically one of those "universal ones", but it works well because of the spring loaded lock.
When you press the phone in, it hits this little button and snaps the side grips closed on your phone.
Then once they are closed, to release, just press these two and it unlocks the phone.
And nice thing is, because of how you have to release it, the phone will fall into your palm and you can just grab and go.
thanks for posting this, looks like a nice mount, the only thing i wish it had was a built in microusb cable to automatically start charging without me having to connect it lol
+1 for STi
/highfive
The nice thing is that it will grab textured dash just as well. Mine has been on my dash for over a week and it is not losing it's grip.
Do the holders at the bottom block the mic?
Thanks for the pics and the review, I've been looking for a cheap dock. The phone falls out of the cubby holes in my car's dash. lol
can you show a picture with the arms at their WIDEST with the phone in it ? IE how much "wider" can it go? (my cases add a lot of bulk to the phone)
I don't know why you guys buy car dock for. Its big and ugly. Its always in the way. It looks like a cawk sticking out from the windshield. Its best to get a 1 inch rubberband and 3 dollar case and modify it. I had it done on my sg2. I'm waiting on my case and will post pictures later.
because in order to use the phone case as a dock you need to use the phone SANS CASE and that is not acceptable to me
as for why a dock? thats easy. fumbling with the phone while driving is a good way to die and possibly kill others ie don't do it.
dock makes it convenient. Slip Grip made a case for the impact case I use for the S3 hopefully they will make an impact case for the Note II and hopefully slip grip will make a grip for the Note II in the impact case
Newegg has this one on Black Friday special for $10 with coupon code BLKFRIDAY27. I wish I live in the States
Sorry, the $10 with coupon is for the iPhone model, the one for Note 2 is $25 and am not sure if the coupon code applies.

If you'd used the official s2 dock you wouldn't be asking that question! Awesome piece of hardware with fantastic integrated charger and audio out.

Your bulky case couldn't possibly be bigger than this behemoth:
There is still a couple of mm on each side so it wil accomodate even an otterbox defender is my guess.
actually that's what I call a slim case the cases I use feom case ology are quite a bit thicker in both thickness and width
Though this jelly tank korean case I got today is pretty impressive

Hey does this have an AMPS pattern mount? I have a Brodit base and I'm looking for a holder that can grab an iphone as well as a note.
Any stores sell this car dock?

Hi Not sure if this is allowed, maybe I should read the rules again.. But anyways, I have gone through a few cases for the m8 trying to find one I really like and want to stick with. So now that I have the UAG case which I'm happy with, I figured I could give away or sell my other cases at a really cheap price to some of you who are looking for a case for your m8. First come first serve, preferably free cases to someone who doesn't have a case and actually needs it. Shoot me a message. I'll update with posts below as things go. Will have pics up soon of the ones I'm selling

I know it's against the rules to sell anything on the forums. But you should be good on the giveaways.
Also if you decide to giveaway the otter box I'd love to have it so I have a super protective option.
U got any more cases

I knew I wasn't "crazy" and alone in having 3 or 4 cases usually for my phones for the particular need I have at that day/moment. Powered cases, hard cases and cases that are somewhat "my children proof". I've had, mm, 8 or 9 Android devices, maybe more and the kids have managed to spill or pour drinks on 5 of them. My 1 year old even threw (literally threw) my HTC ONE X into a bucket of water.. Plop.. HA, oops.. Counting, XOOM can't be mobile, needs to be connected to power to work after water spillage on it. 2 Nexus 7s (2012 models, my 2013 model is hands off) don't have working USB plugs now, but I can charge them via the dock and POGO pins. A Samsung Galaxy S was water damaged, wifi doesn't work, forget if sim card works. Some motorola phone that was given to us was stepped on and yet again, water spilled, for some reason my kids love mixing water and android devices. Yet they can spend 'a good time' using them for Youtube and kids games, 2 + 4 year old are their ages now. Have been Android user since 1 + 2 respectively :good:
I've only got the case that came with the international M8 and bought some ebay HK "genuine leather" case that will let me put it at various viewing angles and fold up like a wallet/purse thing so I _hope_ that manages to keep my kids at bay. May this phone be the first one that doesn't go for a swim! Oh, I hosed my LG G2, 'somehow'', use FreeGee to backup EFS, tried a particular radio, no good, did a 'simple restore'. Phone was hosed, EFS was corrupt or dead, or whatever. It was giving boot loops, constant reboots once in ROMs that worked, no wifi/sim.
I finally have it at a state, it is in either a LG or KK ROM as I want, 20 minutes to restore JB Stock ROM or so, and upgrade if wanted, but no radio/sim/wifi which sometimes reboots. I'll play with it if and when I finally find myself not glued to the M8 at any true spare time (No kids, not on motorbike, not doing stuff with tablets or PC). Hopefully, August, heh heh heh.
