Neoprene Sports Armband

I've just ordered one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...6&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:AU:1123#ht_2130wt_1139
I'm a bit apprehensive about the capacity of it, as I'm not sure the 5.3" format _really_ does fit but will post back when it turns up and let you guys know.

I'm been searching high and low for a suitable arm band.
But unable to find any, hope post back soon.

on description:
Made for most large smartphones including HTC EVO 4G, HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Droid Charge, and other devices up to 3.3"W x 5.1"H
isn't compatible with Note.

No offense, but I really don't know what you were thinking when you ordered that armband. The Note is clearly in a size category of its own and will never be compatible with accessories for a phone like the Evo 3D

I've bought this one.
rescuesupply.co.uk/aquapac-aq218-large-armband-case-waterproof-1129-p.asp
Looks like it will take the size. I'll let you know when it's been delivered.
I now need to get a case, I dropped it today and it's put a little dent in the shiny bezel.

How about this one? Several people on this forum, including myself, have decided to go with this one. It helps that it comes in several colors and DOESN'T look hideous.

fairly sure thats the one aquapac said would fit, (although their website says 7.5" circumference and the Note is 8") I like their kit, works well.
http://store.aquapac.net/explore-product-range/waterproof-phone-cases/large-armband-case-218.html
although in the velomobile I tend to find using one of these around my neck works better
http://store.aquapac.net/medium-whanganui-fits-kindle-3-658-17.html
(not sure if the small version would work)

Just got my aquapac arm band. It fits perfectly. There's a little room at the top but it can be folded down. Great fit width ways very snug.
Arm band is nice and long so it will fit around jackets if needed. Very impressed.
I bought it from Kit protector on amazon uk.

cool, can it be like fold at the bottom and top part together? like hidden it .. so it looks like the armband just fit nicely for the phone? (i mean with no space at all)

Yes you can do that quite simply.
I took it out for a run yesterday and I need to adjust the arm band or get a different one. It's almost to elastic and kept on slipping down, if you have runners arms the arm band need shortening somehow.
But overall I'm still pretty happy with it.

looking at your pictures, the small whanguni case should fit then ...
as the armband is listed as 7.5x6.8
where as the whanguni is 8x6

My small whanguni (cheers aquapac That sounds really silly).. Arrived. Today, note fits perfectly length and width. downside (obviously ) its not ideal with the Samsung for flip cover..
Closed it slides in and out fine, but not a lot of use... With flip open can't use camera inside the aquapac, and the felt face of the note flip cover makes it tricky with to extract.
With stock back on (no flip) its superb, works and fits perfectly.

hmmm do you think it would Fit still if the note had a gel case on it?

Ok, just to clarify: the Small Whanganui case is basically a plastic bag, right? As in, we still have to purchase the armband from Aquapac separately?

if you want to look at it like that, all the aquapacs are plastic bags, much in the same way the galaxy note is a mirror to shave in..
it the whanguni doesn't have an armband, uses a lanyard, so its an alternative to the armband one.

Yes it fits in but it is a little snug. The gel case and the Aquapac do seem to stick a little so it doesn't just slide out, you have to coax it.

Ignore this, I found your link

Is there a way to buy a normal armband for Note (i need it for running), not an aquapac armband ?

Find This Case: Recieve $5

Here's a little something interesting for you guys. I'm looking for a very specific type of holster and I am in need of your mass searching skills to come up with one that meets my requirements. The first person to find one recieves $5. However, it must match EVERY requirement that I will list below. If even one thing is off it does not count but I would like to see it anyways. If nothing is found that meets every requirement, I will award the $5 to the best one I see fit here.
Here are the list of requirements:
All leather (preferably genuine but will accept cheap if it's the only option out there)
Must be a minimum of a horizontal-only holster *No Vertical-only*
(Even better if it has a swivel belt clip but it has to be able to fit horzontally on the belt)
Must have a cut out for BOTH the headphone jack AND the micro-USB port *No Exceptions*
Must fit extended battery with extended back cover
Preferably black leather but may consider other colors
Phone must not be attached to the holster
(Must be meant to easily slide in and out and not made to use in the holster)
Phone must be held in from all sides (no unprotected openings on one side)
If you can find this match I think you well deserve the $5. Best of luck to everyone. Find me something nice.

I can't say for sure about extended... but extended isn't that much bigger, and considering leather stretches more than plastic... it would probably fit

I actually saw this just before and there's a few things I can't tell about this case. Is the phone attached to the case to use it (or is it meant to slide out easily)? Does the headphone cable slide out with the phone or do I have to disconnect it everytime I slide the phone out and then reconnect it again while it's in my hand?
The one almost appears to be more of a case with a belt clip rather than a slideable holster. I will consider it but let's see what others can find. Oh and direct links to cases only, no search result lists.

I've looked at more holsters than I ever thought I would.. it seems in all of them you would have to cut some sort of slot to get all your features.

First one was direct. Second one wasn't really (there's a bunch of cases on there not just that same case in other colors).
Something like this is almost perfect: Link
I just wish the front didn't flip out and it didn't have that clear screen protector built-in.

I actually also saw this one. This is also almost perfect I just wish it had the charging slot already there (I don't want to do any modifications, hence why this is not such an easy find).
Something like the mix of this one (no flip front) and the one in my previous post (cut outs for headphones and charger + rotating belt clip) would pretty much be exactly what I need.

As for this... you can (ghetto, I know) glue the flip out part to the leather border, then cut the straps on the right side (not the securing magnetic strap but the ones connecting the frame to the back) this way you have a pocket and can remove the phone from the side.
Not ideal - but yep, definitely can't find the ideal one

Hmm, very interesting case but boy what a price. I can't tell if this is a case or a holster though. It looks like it's just a case with a belt clip. Also although they mention access to the charging port but I don't happen to see that on those photos. Unfortanatly there are quite a number of things limiting this for me but thank you for showing this anyways. I appreciate your effort.

I will be going to shenzhen china in about a weeks time, they have plenty of these, i'll have a look for you, but as mention, finding one that has the openning for USB and headphone socket at it's right place isn't easy, but find a leather holster that hangs horizontal that fit's the gnex isn't hard, but no promises.
As for cost, sholdn't cost more than USD 10 not including shipping.

Final Bump

air cooling case for GN. (pic inside)

Actually, I really dont know how to describe such case.
Since there many holes on the back and might be help for to cool down GN.
So I just call it air cooling case.
There're also other kind of case with holes on ebay and taobao. But they are
too rough and too ugly. Usually cost around 3RMB,but u won't want to put it
on your GN which might scratch ur GN.
I bought this one around 10USD. And the color is green with little bit metal
feeling.
The only disadvantage is: It won't fit with 2000mah battery. So u can only use
1750mah battery with it.

looks nice. could you post a link?

Black one looks great! Might pick one up... Kinda pricey for a generic though.
Seems cheaper from the company: http://www.anymode.com/shop/goods/goods_view.php?goodsno=12347476
But I don't read Korean enough/at all to figure out if they ship to Canada or how to checkout.

Plenty of cheap ones.
These are called "Mesh snap on" cases.
Here's for the GSM Nexus: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=i9250+mesh&_sacat=0
$1.92
There's no "snap on mesh" cases for the Verizon, they're more fully formed so it's not cheap.
$7-$9 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=i515+mesh&_sacat=0&_odkw=i9250+mesh&_osacat=0

Those are the cheap feeling ones the OP described. I was asking for a link to a cheaper site for the Anymode version the OP recommended. Thanks though!

this is not going to cool your phone, you are adding another layer of plastic to trap heat. do you cool yourself by wearing a sweater?

The "air cooling" is just a term to describe this case. Just a comparison

Great case! I ended up getting it from eBay since I can't read Korean/Chinese nor trust signing up with credit card info to foreign websites I don't understand. Nice matte finish on the black one here. Feels solid, snug and good in the hand. The wrap-around to the front leaves just enough of a gap between housing and screen that edge-to-edge screen protectors should work nicely. And the design and materials seem excellent for signal, WiFi and NFC (unlike my last case)! Would definitely buy again.
Very, very pleased... now I just need my Fantom tempered glass screen protector:

Those ones don't really count. The pictures show a full case with the snap on mesh that goes over it. So the mesh on those cases is just for looks.

My issue with these mesh cases is that dust collects in the holes REALLY easily. :\

ELTD® PU Leather Smart Cover Case For LG G Pad 8.3 With Stand Function

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GPKONYI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Received this case on the first day of the long predicted window for delivery. Although it's marketed as ELTD, the clasp is labelled IVSO. I'm very pleased with the quality of the materials, very good fit with the hard shell, all cutouts in exactly the right place and the foldable cover has a quality feel to it, almost too stiff. Auto-wake and sleep works perfectly, and the magnetic clasp is very strong, no danger of it coming open in your bag. It's a bit tricky to find the right position for the more vertical position, turns out you have to attach the magnetic clasp to the top hinge of the case which keeps the case from lying flat over the speakers. It also needs to be on a flat surface. Can't fault the supplier either, very fast and satisfactory responses to my queries. All in all, highly recommended.

I bought the IVSO version, but it looks like they could be the same case. Mine was delivered today too so hopefully I will be pleased with it too.
Edited to add, I'm very pleased with the IVSO case.
Build quality is great, though the case is quite weighty. The magnets are very good, there's no way the cover will accidentally open.

Yes it's sold as ELTD but the magnetic catch is labelled IVSO.

Excellent - finally, confirmation that this thing does NOT seriously block the speakers in stand mode. Also, that the more vertical stand mode actually works.

Does the magnet turn off the screen when you fold the cover all the way to the back?

A review on Amazon says it did.

My ivso turned up today, mixed feelings so far.
The case certainly feels strong enough, good fit, but the metal magnetic tag is a little too big for me, it is very close to the screen when closed.
The auto sleep/wake function mode does not work correctly for me, only works when the front cover is folded round the back, no idea why??? But then the function does not work when the pin lock is in use so it is not a deal breaker for me.
The horizontal stand is also a bit hit and miss, often comes loose but i expect the fabric grooves to soften over time and i expect it will work fine.
Speakers are covered with stand horizontal but i did not bother me. Still loud enough.
If anybody wants pics let me know.

Well I can assure you that mine doesn't.

Would like to see a "nicer" band option.

Being as the SmartWatch 3 is kinda modular, what are the chances a "nicer" wrist strap will eventually be available?
Would be nice to use the rubber strap for running/ working out and other more outdoors environments and be able to slip it into a more elegant leather (my preference) or metal strap option. Any news on a possible Sony or third party option like this?

I would like this too,

I've heard some rumours on some tech websites about a metal strap coming, but any concrete details are scarce.
I don't get it really as sony would be onto a real winner here if they just made some premium straps that we could buy and swap out according to our needs. The main criticism of the sw3 is that it's unattractive. I think that's mainly to do with the functional nature of the strap.

My SW3 wont arrive until Monday, so I've yet to see or handle it in person and don't know how it exactly slips into the strap. Don't know if it would be an issue to slip it into a strap that isn't at least partially rubber? What do you guys that actually have one think?
Either way, I ended up winning a Asus ZenWatch on ebay that will be my more dressy option. I really like the look of the ZenWatch, I personally prefer it over the Moto 360 or LG G watch R.
I nice looking leather/metal band option would give the Smartwatch 3 some real flexibility though. I'll keep looking to see if it happens.

Looks like the Smartwatch 3 holder will be the answer from Sony for a way to use your preferred style band. Mine arrived today just in time to hear the news. Still it not as nice as I would hope.

That holder is plastic or metal?

looks plastic, that why I'm not so excited. Still doesn't look very premium. Wish it was black metal or SS.
I haven't seen anything stating the watch pops out of the new metal model. Would be nice if you could just buy the metal band.
Here are a few additional pics I found:

Thanks guys.
So I am gonna buy the metal watch.

The metal band is interchangeable.

Available on amazon but not the band alone...
