I like to listen to music when I jog and go to the gym and since all my music is on my phone.. are there any armband cases for the Nexus S that anyone has seen and/or tried out?
i bought the Tune Belt Sport Armband with my nexus s because i jog alot ..
the case is ok , i put my nexus s in an Amzer case then in the armband case..
because sweat seams to get through the armband casing..
i'd give it 8.5/10
I cut holes in a TPU case and use a separate armband through the holes. Works like a charm.

i usually place phone in my right front pocket
what the best pouch or case that protect streak from cracking if placed there? i dont want to use holster clip (i like pouch beter because it also protect the screen)
i also read that even otterbox defender cannot protect the streak from cracking it screen...
any idea? some people use the case from other gadget, like the old school pda hard pouch or nintendo ds pouch
I am currently using the Defender and I don't really see a means of cracking the LCD other than to drop it while using it.
It would be very difficult to bend it in your pocket without you feeling some noticeable stress on your leg.
I personally would not trust any other case for my Streak. I looked around and price was not an issue but just didn't see anything else that looked solid.
The belt clip is removable. It also acts as a stand which is very hand.
Good Luck and let us know what you end up with.
anyone bought the 'open face' or the '2 in 1' which is the 'open face' plus a flap that you can button onto the 'open face' case from fortte.com ? 39.99 for the 2 in 1 and 34.99 for the open face version.
Not everyone likes these open face ones but I just love these as I love the clip which I clip onto my belt (or shorts) and am able to just look down at my phone for 'time" (yeah i don't wear any watches); so I've always had Krusell flex orbit cases, however they don't make one for the vivid, i guess they only make the orbit flex (the open face one) for phones that are under certain weight and vivid is a little on the heavier side. anyway, if anyone had bought one of these, let me know of your thoughts. also, i found another open face case on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190651454200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
if anyone bought this before, let me know how you like it.
thanks.
I work in a warehouse environment so I keep an Otterbox defender on mine with the screen facing in. You can carry it either way though. If you dont mind the extra girth on the phone, the OBD is the way to go. Ive had cases like the one in the ebay listing you posted and they do alright, but the belt clips are pretty flimsy. If a belt clip is a must and the OBD is too bulky for your taste, I'd check into seidio cases. They make several different styles offering different levels of protection and most of them have a belt clip so you can carry it on your belt the way you want.
It is best OtterBox
Otterbox is great for iPhone but I had otterbox for the Vivid and it just seems to be too confining...it covers the screen too much..its usable but I just couldn't get used to it..went with Speck candy shell..

I want a case with a holster and these are the only two I've seen besides ebay stuff. I cant tell which offers the better holster though. I would be carrying it horizontally so I like how the otterbox has the clip on the top. The seidio seems like it has a better clip though since it has a spring in it. Any thoughts?
Otterbox. The way it clips in place it ain't going anywhere. I've owned several. The clip on the Seidio seems to want to push the rubber of the case off the phone, have to really push it out of the way of the phone to put it in. Of course this is speaking of the active...where the rubber part is just too loose.
Also the sedio doesn't allow you to put the phone in face out like the otterbox does. I have the sedio surface and i really like it. Much more slim than the otterbox defender, however i want the ability to put the phone face out as i plan on using the holster as a car mount. Hope this info helps

Thanks for the reply guys. I also want to use a holster as a car mount but also plan to use the holster for my belt. Does any one know if you can order a spare holster with the otterbox?

Should be able to. Would most likely have to go direct to them. Contact them and see what they say. I'm curious as well

after seeing pictures posted of the OtterBox I'm thinking that it's just way too big for this phone. I might go with the siedio surface holster and case, I would go with the OtterBox Commuter if it came with a holster but it doesn't. Has anyone had any experience with the surface holster and case with thier note 2?
Siedio cade is also available at Best Buy. They make their Platinum cases brand. Comes with built in kick stand and belt clip. $35

I have been looking online for a vertical pouch style holster for a while.
I found one I think might work but it's 39.99 and I hate waiting for shipping...
Every time I'm out I check for any type of anything that I might be able to shove this thing in! Drives my family crazy I'm sure.
Last night I was in hhgregg (a store I never go to) and I found this Garmin pouch that fits the gn2 perfectly!
I also have a flip cover, modded cruzerlite tpu case and a flygrip on the phone.
The pouch was just that. No clip or anything.
Tonight, I was about to go out to get lunch/dinner and hunt for some sort of belt clip that I could try to attach to the pouch. I looked down and saw a metal clip that came off one of our garage door openers..
OMG I had it all along!
The clip is optional so it slides off the opener. It also happens to have 3 holes in the back of it. Perfect for sewing!
Ok dinner would have to wait.
I got out some black thread and a needle and proceeded to sew the clip to the pouch.
I also mashed the clip down a bit with pliers because I think it's made wider to be able to clip to a car sun visor.
It's not perfect because it sags just a little. The pouch looks like neoprene but it's actually fabric covering some sort of thin foam so it's not quite as firm as neoprene. BUT....
It is very low profile and will definitely work for now! I can't believe I will finally have something to hold my phone in where I can actually get to it without digging through my purse.
I figured I'd share this in case someone else might be interested!
Ok It's time to eat now! I'm starving!

Does anyone know of a reasonably solid in-car holder that will grip the Note 2 while it has the official Samsung flip case on? I assume there isn't going to be one built for purpose so just need a reasonably strong universal one, presumably windscreen mount.
Anyone got a decent one they use that can hold the weight and size?

Just picked up the iOttie XL for my new-to-me Note 2, works great. Best quality car dock I've had yet. Fits the Note 2 with a Case Mate Tough Case just barely! I understand the Note 2 with an Otterbox Defender is too big for it, but it should be fine for your application.
Looks good, thanks, I'll give it a try

iOttie should work well, check out my review links in the signature. But keep in mind that if you planning to go later with Zerolemon battery or thicker case like Defender, iOttie side grips won't cut it.
Ram mount x grip will work.

self mod
I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I mod this myself. I use two 1 inch rubberband and a rubber case where i cut along the side, top, and bottom.
I don't know why the picture is upside down when I uploaded
Rocketfish makes a decent mount that will fit a Note II with an Otterbox Defender. The contact points are flexible rubber, and seem like they'd securely grip any case. It comes with both suction and vent clip mounts, I've been very happy with it.
