Cheap Alternative Case For Now ! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories

Just picked up one of these at the local Target for $20USD. Fits nice and snug, side to side, but when opened allows the note slide right out. Allows access to the volume rocker and power button. No belt clip, but for now will work great. It's for a Tomtom GPS 5". Magnetic cover as well. I will post pics after I have eight posts. Sorry for the delay in posting the pics - I didn't want to spam the forums to up my post count.

A 5" Case for the Tomtom GPS.

You realise when you type "I just got one of these", we can't see what you're holding up to the monitor?

When I was at Target today, I couldn't help but think about this thread and what the op was trying to say. I went over to the navi section and saw that pouch. It looks pretty nice. I don't have a SGN yet so I couldn't test fit it.

Yep saw this at Best Buy and picked it up.. The semi techies there were freaking out on my phone but it does fit and I added crappy photos of it with a stupid cam but wanted to include the phone in the pic. It will last till the real cases come out for the phone. Oh ya the price was like 20 buck somewhere around there.. Most likely find it for cheaper but I wanted one right way as carrying in the hand without case made me nervous..

Sorry to leave everyone hanging, I am now at 8 posts !

I like your Motorola Atrix in the background. I have one too!

You can get it on Amazon for cheap $12.97. This should hold me over until a nicer one comes out.

I'm using the neoprene slip case from my Bolle shades for now.
Perfect fit and has a draw string too, it'll help keep the dust out until I find a case I like better.
Edit: it looks pretty much like this one but with a drawcord.

Ha, that is exactly what I did, look on Amazon. Both my phone and that case came in today. Can't wait to play with my new toy tonight.

Making do with this US$6 plastic case while waiting for my PDair black bookflip from Wanchai 168 Plaza in Hong Kong. A bit of eyesore looking at the back, but it gives me peace of mind for now.

Lol post.
Deebo took your bike too?
wow, I couldn't imagine having the SGS2 on my arm working out. Thing is huge! I always laugh when I see dorks at the gym with their phones attached to their arms. Get a mp3 player. Plus, arm bands usually max out at 17-18". Don't fit me.
Not to be rude, but if you actually worked out and didn't just go for show...then you would know that having a phone , especially one the size of ours makes NO sense to use in the gym or out running. Go buy a sansa clip or something of the sort. It would prob cost as much as a armband case for this beast anyways.

Look up the Tune Belt AB85 on Amazon, that's the one you want if you want to run w/ the TPU case still on the phone.
I have the Tune Belt AB84 and use it many times a week w/ my T-Mo SGSII, but the AB84 won't fit the device w/ a case on it at the same time.
Great case, I run in the rain here in Seattle, it fits well and is very comfy to run with. Touch screen works great through the plastic cover on the case.
I used a tune belt for about a year, which my GS2 fit in. However it drove me nuts how it would build up with moisture on the inside causing me to not be able to see the screen. I switched to the ArmPod http://www.amphipod.com/products/holders/music/-electronics/armpod and love it. I know it shows the iPhone only in it, however it fits our phones as well.

dont think he meant you... meant the guy with his arms to big for arm bands and probably more so the guy laying into him for using his phone at the gym for "show"
and to answer the question the above link to the walmart one is about all i could find i don't imagine there is a big market for cell phone arm bands... could always look for a universal one though.

It's replies like this that are useless. If you have to start your reply to his question with 'not to be rude...' then you're being rude.
The SGSII is lighter than the iPhone4 and works just fine in an arm-band. Why should anyone buy a separate MP3 player when:
A) The phone they have works great as a music player (especially w/ Spotify or Rdio)
B) The phone they have can track their run/bike with GPS. (and you can get a heart-rate monitor if you like)
C) They may take a phone anyway if they're running in the dark or a not-so-nice area.
D) An arm-band is all of $20. Show me a $20 16gb MP3 player...
...you get the picture. The SGSII is fine for running.

I browse through Ebay, but most look too bulky, I want some that fit almost exact.
Thanks.

Please search "armband" before posting. There's a lot of threads on this.
Unfortunately, there's nothing on the market yet that's like the TuneBand for the iPhone:

Hopefully that company will release one for the SGS3.

Armpocket.com
did you look at www.armpocket.com ? they have one that is large enough for the phone, a couple credit cards, cash, your car keys, and fits comfortably on the arm. The armband comes in 3 sizes. I use mine when I'm running/walking/biking. Very comfortable. Nicest one I've seen around. Unfortunately the larger model which fits the SGS3 only comes in black at this point, unlike their smaller units which come in multiple colors. hope this helps.
iGadgitz Armband
iGadgitz make a couple of armbands for the galaxy range. I have recently bought the black neoprene one off amazon. Not trying to sound like a **** but i have thick arms and it fits quite well. I went for a six mile run this morning and i hardly noticed it was there. The screen hasn't lost any responsiveness,(i'm not using a screen protector) but the power button and volume controls can be a little fiddly. Time will tell how well it responds to being washed, or if it ends up stinking like my last armband.

Double Dip... in full grey!

We have all seen the official HTC double dip case and most of us hate that red and grey color scheme. Was just on the HTC site and looked at the case and saw that one of the screenshots showed a full gunmetal grey double dip case. Can't find it anywhere though. Does anyone know when HTC will be releasing this one?
If it's really that big of a deal, you can probably use vinyl dye to change it to all black or all grey. I've been using Duplicolor's vinyl dye on a lot of plastic and TPU with no issue.
Aye just seen it on the HTC UK website under accessories.

I had this case in OE style and took it back, it's kind if cheaply built.
This is how they should show it, no felt inside and weird clicking slots.
Plus sharp edges grab the screen.

What would be even better is if we were able to swap out the actual metal strips on the phone itself.
I do like it a lot more in all gray. I wonder when it will be available in the US
never mind, wrong link.
Is it wrong that I actually like the double dip colors? lol I picked one up at sprint the other day and have been using it for a couple days. I do wish that it had a soft inside though. Especially with the aluminium body I feel like if there's anything in there to scratch the phone it will scratch all the way down as your sliding it in.

Have had one for a few days now off eBay.
Knew it was obviously fake due to price but thought I'd try it out anyway (packaging was fantastic lol, taped up Google box)
The sides of the case come in on an angle towards the phone, not sure if it's like that on official model. Buttons are literally 1-1.5mm in height so pressing them is impossible.
Apart from those defects, the case fits great
hahaha awesome. gonna have to snag one asap

Thanks for the info. Wouldn't be surprised if they are exact replicas of the original with maybe some color variations...And I noticed the taped up Google packaging on one of the eBay listings..lol
I'd be a bit worried. Google couldn't even get the case right with it's early degradation problems. Maybe this will be a case of the knock off being superior to the real thing? I'd have my doubts though.
Can someone that has this case post pictures?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Looks like I'll be getting the black one tomorrow. I'll post some pics
How much are you guys getting these? On eBay they're 22 and amazon 18? A bit expensive for a clone isn't it?
Sent from my white LG Nexus 5
Amazon was knocking another $5 off at checkout. I do think that's still expensive considering you can get a tpu case for a couple bucks, but when comparing to what Google's charging, its a decent deal if the quality is the same or better.
Just received the black case. It came in a legit Google package that didn't look to be tampered with. Only issue being the packaging is for a gray case. The case fits like a glove and quality seems alright. The color is uniform throughout, unlike the two toned look of the Google bumper. Overall I'm satisfied..

Real wood backed cases

So I saw this on Amazon and am very tempted to check it out. Some reviews for an older version say its not very well made but this looks like a revised version. Anyone got one? Love the official wood backs on the moto x but they aren't available in the UK.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HFFY05Y/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_m0e4sb0YAV16X

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/810qJa9x8GL._SY600_.jpg
So my case finally arrived from boxwave. Its very well made, it has a silky texture on the plastic edges and the back has a rubbery feel texture over the bamboo. All the cut outs are precise and neat, boxwave logo even looks pretty good. It snaps firmly onto the phone and I think it looks really premium.
The plastic is slightly raised above the screen at the front, leaves the top and bottom open like a lot of hard cases.

That looks pretty awesome. I would like to see more pictures from the front though. Really need a case that can protect from a fall unfortunately.

My coworker has that case on his Nexus 4. It's pretty nice. I just don't like the logo on there.
Yeah agreed about the logo. I'm waiting for pay day to order one. I'll post some pics when I get it ?

So I saw this on Amazon and am very tempted to check it out. Some reviews for an older version say its not very well made but this looks like a revised version. Anyone got one? Love the official wood backs on the moto x but they aren't available in the UK .http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HFFY05Y/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_m0e4sb0YAV16X

Ha very true! Also I read that all bamboo dies after about 10 years because it is degraded from the inside out by a fungus.
Wish someone would make a oak or beech back...

Wow, didn't know that. Learn something new every day.
I'd go for Cocobolo Burl. Coolest looking wood I've ever seen. Of course it's super rare and probably costs more than gold haha.
Yeah that stuff looks amazing! Very regal, type of thing you'd find on a baroque period dresser or something. I think really I want a moto X but moto maker (which you use to order custom colours and wood backs) is USA only right now.

Yeah, if they made a case out of that, I would jump on it so quickly.
I want to like Motorola, but after the hellish experience/treatment/neglect/no updates/etc I had with the Atrix 4G, where they just abandoned it after less than a year and pretended it didn't exist.... I don't think I'll ever buy another Motorola phone ever again. That cost so much (bought outright) and was so disappointing, it just turned me off to them (they do have the best USB cables out there though!).
