[Q] Recommendations for use while exercising

Now that I have something useful to listen to music with, I want to use it while running.
I have not come across many accessories to do this, but I did find this universal one:

Anyone have any pointers for the Focus? I figure something that attaches to an arm or waist would be appropriate.
I'll update this post with your suggestions as we go.
*edit - If this is as good as it's going to get, please post so.

If it says it can handle the size of the Xperia X10, then the Focus should be fine and this may be your best bet. I don't think there will be any armband accessories until the Focus becomes more popular so just go with this one.
But I don't really think that the Focus is a good choice as a workout MP3 player. I know I'd be on edge if I had my brand spanking new phone strapped to my sweaty slippery arm! That's why I've kepy my iPod Nano for working out--the perfect size.

Good points. But it's so shiny... Hard not to use it.

Perhaps the bluetooth route is doable

Charging solution (I know you already have one, but it's cool)
Mount solution
another option

arm strap

I just got the NS4G sprint version and all is great but no wrist strap attachment. Dough! Can anyone suggest anything. I don't like cases much.
Here is a picture of what I'm talking about:

try this one, i've seen it in another post. seems good

I should have been more clear. I'm talking about the little loop strap for your wrist. The kind that usually has a little hole for on just about every phone but this one

I have never seen a smart phone with a loop strap attachment. Maybe you could point one out. I have seen a lot of feature phones with this, and almost every camera, but no smart phones.
Alternatively, maybe you can find a case that has one, but like you said, cases suck.

I had an HTC hero with a wrist strap and I serio usly miss it on my Nexus.
My only part-way solution is to get a 3.5mm plug (wire free) and connect the strap to that.

you can consider these, it will take a fair bit of weight, but will not allow you to swing your phone.

most HTC has a hole for a strap, my HTC mozart 7 has one, it's a windows 7 phone.

Bracketron and Rocketfish BB Car Mounts

After trying different car mounts I think this Bracketron will work for me. I wanted one that I could put my phone into and take out quickly. I know I could find cheaper ones on the web but I got the CD mount and it didn't work that well with my cd player plus had a Best Buy gift card. I didn't really want a window mount but this one seems to made pretty good. Some reviews said it doesn't hold up in the sun but I park most of the time in the garage plus I use one of those sun shields in the summer. I haven't noticed it bounce at all probably because how's resting on my dash plus might help the suction (less weight). You can put your phone portrait or landscape. I chose landscape so it's not in my way as much. I like where I put the mount because I don't have to take my eyes off the road that much for GPS and it doesn't bother me when driving. I don't use the release button and just put the phone in by the bottom till it's snug. If it falls it falls, that what insurance is for. :thought: Oh yea I like orange. :hee:
BB has a few that are like this...

I tried this Rocketfish with the vent and window mount but it wouldn't even hold my phone. Stupid design. They have another brand "Dynex" which probably would have the same results.

Looking for good car and bicycle mounts

I just broke my Galaxy S4 which I had mounts for that I was very happy with. I use my phone with a tpu case so I'm probably going to have to use universal mounts, but I'm pretty picky and try not to spend more money than I have to.
Car: With the S4 I used an Owlpad wireless charger and it is by far my favorite car mount (with or without charging). I'm still using it in one car, but I want to find something similar for my other car. I like the Owlpad because it fits different sizes and holds them snuggly but doesn't require any adjustment. If I could find a non-charging mount in this style I would be very happy. Extra points if it uses a ball mount so I can toss the windshield mount and replace it with my own.

On the bike I don't mind taking the tpu case off. Unfortunately the mount I bought on Amazon is for a One M7 and the M8 seems to be a little longer. It still fits pretty securely without the top clip but it makes me nervous. And the one I have now rattles like crazy which is terribly annoying. For the bike I want a very snug fit.
This is what I'm using now (it sucks): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CL7YBBY/
And this is the one I used for my S4 and loved: http://goo.gl/PcGAHQ
Any advice?
