A phone this size... it's bigger than anyone's arms I know. I just figured nerds that guy the Evo probably don't play sports.

HAHA, that is exactly what I was thinkin. If you have this phone, it's doubtful you'll have muscles any larger than it
I know the phone is large. I do a lot of running and I would like to use this as my MP3 player.
i actually got it to fit into my belkin ipod touch 2G arm band...just need to cut a little at the top to make it stretch wide enough to slide in the evo...it will be a snug fit.
My arms ar much bigger than the evo... haha... im just... serious
Google EVO armband and you'll find one. I got one for $4.95 shipping was like $ 6.95 but now I'll have one. I'll give a review once I get it and try for a few days.
Look it up on Ebay. 10 bucks. With free shipping.

Let us know how you like it.
I like using buddy trainer or something like that to track my runs and I'd much prever the EVO on my arm instead of my waist band.
Thanks!

It seems like a good deal. It fits into a neoprene slip that will hold the device tightly for when you are working out plus it has a zippered pocket behind if you want to store say a key, id, or money. It seems like it is of decent quality but not OEM or made for the device specifically. I ordered one for my EVO and one for my wifes blackberry and they looked different online but seem as if they aren't any different but for $4.95 I don't regret the purhcase.

Not much option out there right now, but this one it about 20 buck.
I got a lot of 3 universal ones from shnoop a while back. Look similar to this one except a bigger version I think. I don't have an evo yet, but I've used it with my Sansa e270 and Vogue both squeezed in. It zippers all the way around so nothing is going to fall out, but you don't have quick access to the screen either.
how is it that it works with the ATT HTC Aria as well as the evo...
why oh why...... just.... get like a sansa clip or something, they can be had for like 30 bucks. This reminds me of that british iPad spoof video where the guy is screaming while talking on his iPad in public.

Why do people have such difficulty understanding that not everyone has the same needs and desires as they do? Perhaps these folks want to use GPS program to track their run? Perhaps they are on call and need quick access to their phone? The reason doesn't really matter.

Agreed. I used to run with my Zune but after getting my Evo I've been using Cardio Trainer to track my runs. That being said, I ordered an arm band from Amazon the other day. It looks like it's out of stock now, but it's not bad. It's universal so the buttons aren't the easiest to get to. But, in my opinion I really don't care; it holds it on my arm that's good enough for me.
I stand corrected and apologize.

Maybe you try this one? Slimmer than some of the others ive seen and its designed specifically for the EVO. Ive not seen it in person but it looks ok from the site. Give it a shot, let me know!
Would work awesome with Google My Tracks
Evo Arm Band :: Run & Walk with your Sprint Evo!
um bb, can you post a link or the site? im interested in seeing one specifically designed for the evo, thanks!
i am still looking for one that will fit my arms...and yes i am a bodybuilder geek. the only one i see out there only goes up to 15" arms and i am at 19" maybe keep it on my forearm?

upper right corner. i spoke to a sprint rep today apparently it's an after launch item for sure. and sprint might not even carry it initially may be exclusively through htc online for first couple months.
did you notice the back cover below it has an apple in the middle of it... Just thought it was kinda funny. Im holdin out for powermat to come out with there induction batteries.

Thanks I was actually looking for more information regarding this exact case. I totally overlooked it when I looked through that gallery. I was thinking about holding off for that case but may go with a normal pouch. I liked the fact that it seemed to be an all-in-one. Protects, Charges, Holster, and Kickstand. Based on the mock photo however I prefer the Evo's own kickstand as the clip being used as a stand defeats the point of placing it horizontally and it covers the default one. Also not sure whats going to charge the phone, I'm assuming a powermat though as sprint sells them in store. Guess I'll have to wait for more information on it.
i think its more like a battery case like the one for the iphone

I spoke with Mophie regarding a product for the EVO and they replied they make cases for Apple products exclusively and have no plans to enter other markets.
hey there might actually be a white evo, if you look at the charging case it's whit. not talking about the apple looking one but the one above it.

That was actually the prototype version of the Evo. It originally had a satin silver speaker grill around the camera and rear speaker however in the final release the removed it and went with the solidblack with peaking red backing instead.

What a great business decision. Align yourself with a single company, of course, that company has 4% of the marketshare on a carrier that blows monkey chunks, but hey, those that buy it are about as technologically clueless as most Luddites.
One more reason to never go apple.

As much as I hate it, It's not a completely boneheaded business decision. I mean, the iPhone is the largest single form-factor market. I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of new options soon. This is after all, Sprint's follow up to their last two "iphone killers" the instinct and the Pre. The EVO sold 3x more the first day than those two sold combined in their first weekend. You can't really blame them for taking a "wait and see" approach to preparing accessories.
Now that the EVO is a proven success (and a success with very little packed in the box) I'm sure they will be working quickly to supply the market.
I mean, my last phone, the vogue, came with a case, an AC charger, data cable, headphones, screen protection, dongles galore, extra stylus, etc. The instinct came with all that plus an extra battery.
I was wondering about all the reviews *****ing about no HDMI cable -- the EVO didn't even include headphones! The aftermarket for this phone will be very big. Eventually. Still not iPhone big, but big.
i really really want this case, i hope some info on it comes soon, seems like a wicked good case.

You do know that Sprint just admitted that they may have "overestimated" those sales figures on the first day right?

Looks fugly as hell, I actually like the slimness of the EVO w/o the girth.
I've been trying to find an armband for my droidx for working out but i can't find one anywhere so i figured id just use an evo armband but i couldn't find any for that. Anyone know where i could find something? Or is there just no love for big phone users that workout?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm grabbing one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sport-Armband-H...Accessories&hash=item20b24ef295#ht_1414wt_911
because the price is right, once it ships in i'll report and how well it works
I picked up this last weekend. Got it in the other day. I haven't gotten to "use" it yet but i have put it on and everything. Has snug fit and can still use the screen easily. it does cover the 4 buttons on the bottom though. overall good for the price. beats the $40 dollars i spent on one for my iphone a year ago
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370408218322&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
See i saw a lot of those and didn't go for it because it shows the orginal droid and I figured the size would be way to far off to fit and x in there. Is it the same one in the picture for the droid?
Just got it yesterday, little disappointed that the band around the arm isn't very stretchable, putting it on something like my bicep might be uncomfortable or fall off. but I guess if I don't do arm work outs it might be ok, in anycase I'm going for my workout today and i'll report back.
Check it out. Made it with some sold scrap metal I had around the shop. I will get more pics when I put some spray on it.
Here it is all finished. The bolts make it so I can tilt the phone more forward or back by loosening or tightening the jam nuts. Comes in handy when watching video. I put some VW lug covers on the head of the bolts to protect the case of the phone. Not bad for a days work.
Sweet!

wouldnt really consider that ghetto. have you seen the ****ers around here using the cardboard box the phone came in? or the guys using paperclips?
he could probably market this to iphone owners as some industrial steampunk phone stand, get "Made for iPhone" stamped on the box and sell these for $200 all day long.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Im going to make another for my touch pro 2. I will post pics asap.
What case is that on the phone? I just ordered a Vibrant (it'll be here tomorrow. Can't wait!) and I'm looking for a good case to put it in. That one looks pretty nice. I was a bit disappointed to find that Otterbox doesn't make a case for the Vibrant.

Its just a rubber case from the T-mobile store. I got it when I got the phone. It was only like $15 and it fits real nice.

love to see it. i'm a car guy too. buddy of mine made some lamps out of old cams, cranks and turbine housings from some shot turbos he had in his garage.
i like to see stuff like this. lots of people dont have an open enough mind to figure stuff like this out.
Nice Job. Money tight? I hear ya.
New Dock
This is my new one, for my touch pro2. Same basic design as the first, but a little rougher around the edges. It also fits my vibrant really well. I think Im going to play around with fiberglass and see what I come up with. I did body work for awhile, and I can sling mud with the best of them.
Need a case for running and working out. Need it to hold to my pants line well and need access to the headphone jack. In the past I found the leather cases worked well. Any suggestions? Would love to find one on amazon with prime shipping.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
In for looking to see what someone posts. Looking for one as well. (Armband over beltline, though)
I just received this one that I ordered from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZJGZ8O/ref=oss_product
Quality of build doesn't seem bad. However, I have the Seido Innocase II on my EVO and I may have to take the case off to get the EVO in. Also, the arm band may seem a little short if you have normal to bigger arms (I'm way on the "normal" size). When I put it on, it was a bit snug.
I'm going to try it out at the gym tomorrow morning and I'll post a follow up on my impressions/comments later.
here you go, had to look through my posts to find the thread

Don't get a belt. It is clunky for running and is pretty dorky (obviously that is a very subjective point).
I got this armband:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZJGZ8O/ref=oss_product
It works very well. I like it. Your Evo has to be nude, however.
100 percent agree....... it is very subjective personally i plan on getting this as you can pair it with some jaybird's and have it under your t-shirt/etc. also it allows to carry more than just the phone etc. that one i linked is running specific belt and all reviews in that thread state is doesn't move at all. Plus your more than likely going to get a better fit with a belt than an arm bad, small and big arms usually get the raw end of the stick

depends how picky you want to be. i bought the LIVEstrong arm band, for i think the iphone, at radio shack and i had to drop an elbow on the phone to get it to go in but after that it's pretty sweet. comfortable, flexible, breathable and a hole for your headphones. that's all i wanted. ya mean?
I tried one for the iphone 4. They are WAY to small. You can get it in there and the hole for earplugs align, but its to hard to get in and out. Not worth it
I just put it in my back pocket, works like a charm. I don't think I've ever run across an arm-band that was big enough to holster this beast.
with more and more giant beastly phones coming out there has to be something! I found a decent sized one that fits my evo but the hole doesnt align for the headphones... its really annoying... i guess i could cut one into the right size...
Best Buy Generic Android Arm Band
I looked online, but didn't fine many options, so I went to local best buy and found a generic HTC Android arm band that has been great. I was roughly $20 and is good quality. I have the extended battery (3500mAH SEDIO) and it works like a charm. Use it when lifting, running, and elliptical and it stays put. Definitely recommend.
I went to wal mart and got a Phillips one, made for the Iphone, but it is sort of a nylon/stretchy type material, my evo fits in it great, plus the holder is thin enough you can "sort of" see through it when screen is on..I set up swype guestures w/ cm7 on the lock screen and can register my "next track" guesture through it...works good enough!
I like this one
I bought this one a while back. Fits like a glove. I tried a similar Nike strap and the EVO didn't fit and the strap was too short to go around my arm. I don't have big arms. I just think the Nike was made for a girl maybe. Anyway, here is the Amazon "link".
Black Durable Neoprene Exercise Sports Workout Armband with Adjustable Velcro Strap for Sprint HTC EVO 4G Android Smartphone
Sorry, first post. Can't post a link, but I copied and pasted this from the title of the item on Amazon.
I'm on my second arm band, and still no luck finding the right one. Anyone know if HTC sold OFFICIAL arm bands for the EVO?
I usually ride with my Camelbak.. there is a pouch in it that fits my phone just fine.. I find these sony earbuds that I got from radio shack has a long enough cord and there is no binding..
Although I have herd of some people using iPhone buds and are able to control functions like Track up or down and volume..
any thoughts?

I searched for an armband for both my Evo and iPhones in the past and found that the better solution for me was a holster case for it that holds it horizontally (landscape) on my hip. It works with shorts, sweatpants, or whatever as long as the waste band is somewhat tight or has a drawstring.
