Arm band too big?

I am 6 feet medium build.
Do you think the note2 with an arm band would look ridiculous?

Work out those garter snakes into pythons = profit & problem solved , lmao. :highfive:

Ever since my phone screen size had gone bigger than 4 inch I have used SPI body belt. It fits any size phone and doesn't bounce around. Also I can put my car key in with it. I use Bluetooth stereo headphones so I don't have to worry about wires.
And yes I think running around with a galaxy note 2 strapped to your arm would look ridiculous.

I don't think it would look too big at all.
There's a arm band case available on eBay and it's waterproof.
I'm getting one so I can go running with it.
Get on with it and take no notice of the nay-sayers.

Have you found an SPI belt that will fit the Note 2? My buddy just got one, and said it's tight on his Galaxy S3. All of the ones I see on Amazon say size "small".

I haven't got the note 2 yet as they are not in stock in my area.
They make a large pocket version of the spi belt. They actually gave me the larger one for free because they made the mistake of sending me the smaller one when I asked for the large one.
Edit:
I have a pre-order note 2 case from last week. I just tried putting the note 2 case in my large pocket spi belt and it fits no problem.
It definitely will not fit in the regular size spi belt.

Hey sorry I wasn't able to see the attached picture for some reason :/ I was thinking of getting the AirFlow Lite too but I have a thicker case (the Seidio Active. Do you think a case of that thickness would fit in there? How is the fit by the way? Is it snug or like super tight to put it. How much free room is left after putting in the Note 2. Sorry for the large amount of questions!

Former Note 2 Owners

I am a current Note 2 owner and I love the phone but it has seemed a big oversized lately. I love the S pen and all the features it has but its getting hard to overlook the size thing. Any note 2 owners regret the change? I might attempt trading on craigslist for mine but just wanted some input.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I do. The phone note 2 imo has better battery. I miss the size on my note 2
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I just miss the Note 2 Roms but that will come with time. SG4 just works a little better for me. I probably will still try the note 3 if it's not any bigger then the 2.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I miss the big screen, but not the overall big size. Too bad you can't have one without the other.
As for the s-pen I never even got around to messing with on the Note II besides I still have a Note 8 if the urge to check it out crops up.

I am a former Note 2 owner and still have the plan was to sell for some of the cost of the S4 but I cant bring my delf to sell it I love how big it is and gaming on it is great as well I love the S4 for sure its a amazing device but its in another level than tha Note 2. I miss the most thw size of it but that is why I got rid of it to as said by others before

seriously if its any bigger than the note 2 might as well just get a Nexus 7 with 3g and turn that into a phone. Note 2 is cool with the S pen and other features cause i really do miss the stylus days from like the HTC Mogul and other phones like that but screens as big as the the S4 its like perfect size and everything. Any bigger and i would go back to the SIII easily.

I miss the screen size...but not the overall size.
The S4 is every bit as fluid, has a little better screen and is certainly easier to manage in the hand.
Screen is brighter. Colors are better.
My hearing sucks and I miss the loudness mods on the Note 2 which helped with the alarm clock in the morning. The S4 hasn't failed to wake me but somehow I don't trust it just yet
Camera is definitely better on the S4 and that's a big plus for me.

I sold my Note 2 for $440 on ebay. It was also mint, spare battery and cheap charging dock. Easily paid for the S4. And as others have said, I miss the screen size but not the phone size. It never really bothered me, but every now and then I'd wish for a slightly smaller phone.
I do like the res bump. The Note 2 seemed a little S2 like to me. I also had an S3 so comparing those two side by side made the Note 2's screen look slightly cartoonish like the S2. It's definitely faster, and just running Shabby's kernel with the frandom mod on the Slim ROM, it's that much quicker.
You can also throw a decent case on it and it still feels a ton smaller than the Note 2. I have an S-Pen with the Ativ, and for taking notes and such, it makes much more sense on a larger screen.
So the more I readjust to a smaller screen, the more I'm confident in my choice. I'd still much prefer a slider and an S3 slider would have me ditch the S4. I much prefer working in Docs To Go with a real keyboard.

I still use my N2 for daily stuff and the S4 atm for dev only.
But.... if it is true I can unlock the SIM and thrown in an overseas one - it will be my main overseas one.

Two days in I've been very happy. I loved the Note2 but trying to carry it at work caused a headache because of the size. I'm figuring I'm more in love with the software and using a single hand :laugh: so everything is great so far.

Anyone come from moto x?

Been considering this after all the positive hype this phone is getting however I'm very iffy on the size. I had the note 2 for a while and even though I got used to it, it was certainly still big. Just wondering if it's worth its price off contact over the resale value of my moto x on swappa ($500ish)
Thanks in advanced

Rob was on the same boat as you man, Took me about 2 days to get adjusted to the size difference I was coming from a HTC one, but had a note 2 at one point for about 2 months before that. Love the display, and really loving the phone. Had the G2 for about 3 weeks, Scrossler is doing great work over there, rid of carrier IQ, plus they were able to bypass the bootloader only thing i miss

the size of the note is the only thing that kills me. Its great when i take advantage of it, but its a beats to lug around when im on the move. Will take more than two days to decide if the size is good for me.

No. The S5 still has Samsung's Touchwiz monstrosity and it still looks a bit cheap. The camera does look amazing, I'll give it that. But after having the Moto X running (mostly) stock Android, I can't imagine going back to a skin like Touchwiz.

Whenever I had an s4 I just hit it with cm, we'll have to see if developers can use the fingerprint hardware

No. It has TouchJizz, ugly dimpled back, 5.1" screen, and physical navigation buttons.

My initial impression of it is not good, but I'll wait for reviews and a chance to play with one before making final judgement.

The Z2 blows the S5 out of the water.

What he said.

Are you kidding? It's bigger and uglier than the s4, the stock ROM is supposedly 8gb, there's no innovation, the fingerprint scanner is basically unusable with one handed usage, still uses a pentile screen, new touchwiz looks as bad if not worse than the old one etc.

I don't see anything coming out or announced that would make me leave my x this year.

I would be more tempted to check out a new iPhone than anything Samsung is putting out these days. I just can't stand the look of their phones anymore. I had an S3 and the S5 looks pretty much the same in terms of design. same dumb home button, same obnoxious backlit buttons, same clusterfudge of features that do nothing for me and never will.
Its gonna take a really really great phone to get me to throw away my custom made, beautiful piece of technology.

So true on looking at other phones. They look like they are curved opposite of our phones. It's freaky. My wife laughs at me every time I look at her G2. It's seriously odd, lol!
