Arm band for running w/mytouch

It seems like there are a lot of good apps out there for exercise and what not. But it seems like that is going to be difficult if I carry it lose in my pocket.

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.

t-mobile price tag $40.00, no thanks !

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.

Yoobao Similar Case for N7???

I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with the brand Yoobao, but the make really good cases for the iPads (yes, I know, an Apple product. blah blah blah). My GF currently has it on her iPad2 and the fit is awesome.
http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Case-...&qid=1342654596&sr=8-3&keywords=yoobao+ipad+2
Anywho, I was wondering if anybody ran into a similar case like that of the Yoobao for the Nexus 7??
I've seen the YooMee, and frankly its not what I'm really looking for.

Don't see anything for the Nexus 7, only stuff for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

they make cases for the Galaxy Tab 7.0 which has similar dimensions. I wonder if it would fit...

Yea, but Belkin is way overpriced and their products are crap

Finally got an email from YooBao. Be on the lookout for next month, they make really good cases and the fit is phenomenal.
Dear XXXXX,
Nice days!
Thanks for your interests in Yoobao products and sorry for our late reply.
The case for Google Nexus 7 will come out next month.
When it comes out, you can see it on our website.

Funny I just replaced my 10 year old belkin 54 g wifi router not because it didn't work anymore, but because I now have a roommate and want more bandwidth for the home network. Guess 10 years of solid reliable service is crap, huh?

The case is displayed on their wbdsite. Looks like smaller version of the good Ipad case.

Had a yoobao case on my sensation. The case is actually flame resistant and honestly had a great fit and look.

Looks like the case is out:
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...Case-for-google-nexus-7stand-wholesalers.html
$30 with free shipping. A much better deal than the Official case for the same price.
also available on eBay for $5-10 more.
Has anyone used Aliexpress or Alibaba? I think they're mostly direct to retailer/wholesaler shop out of China.

oh, and does anyone know if these will have the velcro strip on the inside to keep the flap that holds the tab in place from slipping out? I LOVED the Yoobao case for my iPad, except for the lack of this feature.

I looked a lot before I settled on the Yoobao case for my iPad and haven't seen a nicer case. Their N7 case looks like the same design which is great. The only thing about my iPad case is that it is a version 3 meaning it took 3 tries before they ironed out the issues. Version 3 of the iPad case corrected some issues with the smart on features as we'll as add magnets to hold the front flap in place.
I suspect that this N7 cover may not have the smart on/off feature yet and if they follow foot steps of the iPad they will probably produce a v.2 in short time with the smart on/off. At $30 plus, I'd wait til they produce one with the smart feature.

It's actually $30 with free shipping, so just flat $30. I think it's a much better deal than the official case which costs the same (if you add shipping).
I'm actually assuming that they've incorporated all the things that they learned from the various versions of the other cases and implemented them into the first version of their newer cases. I know that my Yoobao ipad case had the smart on/off but not the magnet to keep it closed. It didn't fling open though. The one feature it lacked was the thin velcro strip to keep the flap that kept the ipad in the case from slipping so it constantly needed readjusting. Did yours have this?

I just ordered one of these from mobile fun.co.uk

amazing case brilliant quality here it is its out and in stock but be quick they sell very very fast

My Version 3 Yoobao iPad case did not have the velcro to hold down the flap, however, I never found the iPad moved around and needing adjustment.
Your assumption about Yoobao incorporating all the things they learned from other cases for the N7 case is sort of right. They actually already have a Revision 2 case for the N7 with a "fixed Sleep/Wake" and Magnetic Closure.

The review from mobile fun.co.uk seems to indicate the case puts the tablet asleep when folded all the way over. Waiting for reviews from here before I take the plunge.

I've just ordered this from the kevikev ebay store. It's cheaper to do that with shipping than to order here in UK. Here's hoping the version 2 has the magnet issue resolved. The case looks very nice.

Bluetooth Keyboard Tablet Stand Leather Case, anyone got one?

Just saw this leather case, bluetooth keyboard with stand combo (i saw the 5 or 9 dollar case with the usb cable and hated the look, don't mind spending a few bucks extra)
anyone got experience with this one?
http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...f-20&qid=1344477981&sr=1-114&keywords=nexus+7
that image they have is real tiny online so i can't see the details but i am digging the red/white one

I just got mine this morning. Connecting is easy. But the keyboard (as I expected) is very small. If you have dainty girl like hands, you will be OK. It will take some getting used too. I've noticed the back stand that props up the monitor is pretty flimsy as well. A very slight wind can knock it over.
The case will most certainly protect the screen if you toss your tablet in a backpack or in your luggage. It's more sturdy than I anticipated in that regard.
Considering the cost is low, it's easy to overlook the minor flaws I've found so far. I'd give it 4 of 5 stars.

Can you post a pic when u have a chance I want to buy one but prefer to see the actual thing than to base it on the stock photos thanks

[REVIEW] Swees Nexus 7 Case

Hey Guys.
I've just received my Swees Case for Nexus 7 and wanted to share my impression about it.
First of all, i couldn't find it on the American Amazon website. So after the review, if anyone in the America is still interested, you might need to look for yourself.
So here we go.
Similar to many products for the Nexus 7, it this case has tried to imitate the Smart-Cover look. That's fine.
So on the bottom, this case is like a hard-case protecting the Nexus from Scratches, Bumps, etc. quite well. There's a gap between speakers, and all Buttons and Microphone, so you get no disturbance using the Nexus with the Case. At the front, there's this Leather-Like material covering the Screen.
The cover can be used as a stand. Application is very easy, every child can do it and your Nexus will stand on table-tops or even your couch. It's quite stable I'd say, at least from my testing on even softer surfaces, it still stood like a rock.
At the end of the covering, there is some magnet build inside, so the cover will fix itself to be closed at times. It's not the strongest magnet though, but for transporting and carriage it's quite alright. The cover will also trigger sleep / awake mode when opened or closed.
For this unbelievable price it's quite a good deal if you ask me. Many covers I've seen in stores were priced 3x as much, but didn't show the quality. Anyhow. I can recommend it :
UK* : http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=swees+nexus+7
* I got the black one, but i guess other colors are quite nice. 7,99 Pounds ( Don't know if they charge shipping in the UK ) is quite a deal.
DE : http://www.amazon.de/Swees-Schutzhü...K0ME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351992143&sr=8-1
This is exactly where i ordered from. ( all for 12,99€ )
http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_ss...wees+nexus+7&sprefix=swees+%2Celectronics%2C0
Again for DE - diffrent colors are available.
At least for the german amazon, they even give an additional Pen & Screen Protector. Compared to Samsungs "S-Pen" this pen is quite better build wise. I wouldn't recommend using it for drawing professionally. For notes quite alright.
Can't really say much about the screen protector, I don't usually use one and probably won't use it.
At last : 2 pictures showing the Stand function and overall look of the case.
I am open for any question regarding this product. I am not affiliated with this product or company in any way, I just want to help our users to fight an excellent case which is affordable.
( Btw. I had a long way finding this case. There are 100s of cases to be found on amazon and i read through a lot of feedback from each of them. From the cheaper cases, you can expect poor quality, chemical smell as well as rash on skin, and many other things. Therefor i am very pleased with what I've got my hands onto. )

Thanks for the review, but this is the common 'eBay case,' there's a 140-reply thread about it already. Can be had for about $10USD with free shipping.

Bunker Ring 3

I just received my Bunker Ring from 'The Hi Shop' last week and I'm loving it so far. As someone with very small hands and a massive phone, I find myself dropping and having a very hard time of gripping the phone. This solves that problem. Although the ring is too big for my finger, it still works very well in providing excellent grip. I also looked into the FlyGrip but the price-point really pushed me away. $30 plus ~$14 shipping plus very likely brokerage fees with FedEx put me off. That being said, here are some of the features of the ring:
- 360 degree rotation in the ring (allows for a large variety of viewing positions for landscape and portrait)
- Kick stand (both landscape and portrait) in which viewing angles can be adjusted
- Reusable/easily removable adhesive (it's micro suction, you can wash it with water and it'll be as good as new; doesn't leave residue)
- Price (at only $20 plus $3 shipping, it's much cheaper than the FlyGrip)
Here's the link to where i bought it:
http://www.thehishop.com/ths-bunker...-permanent-adhesive-360-degree-rotatable.html
Hope this review was helpful!

INCIPIO Samsung Galaxy Note II Dual PRO Shine Case

I also have the bunker ring but I only paid 6.37 for it. it's here on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/251147580077?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 It ships from China, but I received it in 11 days. Here it is on Amazon for $5.98 with shipping, http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Bunker-Holder-Iphone-Galaxy/dp/B009T11WYO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359302268&sr=8-1&keywords=bunker+ring

You can definitely see the difference in quality between original and ebay one, just by looking at it. But I'm sure ebay one will work the same way. Oh, I just wish they would come up with some universal clamp so you don't have to stick it to the case and use it with any case.

I had the OEM bunker ring. Very nice. I liked it a lot on my Note 1. However, after using it for about 6-12 months, it started flipping in the opposite direction. Over time, it got very loose and would no longer function as a portrait stand.
Recently I purchased the cheaper ebay version. It's very hard to twist to make it 90 degrees so you can put your finger in it. I have to use two hands whereas with the original, I could do it with one hand. At the same time, the good thing about the ebay version is that because it's stiff, it'll also less likely move in the wrong direction (picture the ring flat but in the wrong direction). Also, the hinge on the ebay version is completely plastic. This means it'll likely give and wear down over time...but then again, it only cost me 6 bucks vs 20.
In the end, I'd prefer the OEM version, if only they could improve the hinge. But in it's current state, I had to remove it. I'm using the ebay one now.
