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.

Where did you order it from?
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 ?
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.

4th pic shows the accessible earphone and ability to remove from pouch without disconnecting earphone... as for charging, cut out a small slot?
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
Edit for reply about no mods: Sorry buddy, did my best.. hopefully someone else can weigh in

No problem. Thanks for helping either way. I will consider these since this is actually the best I could find as well but let's see if anyone else can dig up something interesting. Thanks again for your effort.

i like noreve cases, been using them since i had a nokia 6630, and have one on order for the galaxy nexus as well
i wouldnt recommend going with the top 2 class of leathers, since they do take some effort to maintain them, although they do look nice

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'm not after your reward, so you can keep it, i'm only here to help in all ways.
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
I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
It will fit into the Maxpedition 5" Clip-On Phone / Radio Holster. It is a bit pricey and a bit rugged (so not so good with a smart suit or tux!) but it will hold your phone securely.
Junk the metal belt clip because it can pull out. Thread your belt through the 3 Molle straps horizontally or make a belt loop from a Maxpedition 3" Tactie (Google instructions on using Tacties) or a Malice clip. I use this holster for my Galaxy S2 with a Tactie and it's totally secure.
One point to consider is that the corners of the phone are exposed but I find that the phone cover protects those.

Happy to help. Bear in mind that the 5" holster is really 5" tall and a Nexus is 5.33", so you'll have a little bit of phone protruding. Personally I think that's perfectly fine and gives you something to get hold of to pull the phone out, but I should probably have made that clear. The retaining strap is plenty long enough to accommodate the extra length.
I bought 2 of these for my SGS2 (black and khaki) and I love them. They're totally secure so long as you junk that crappy metal belt clip.
Please post back your opinion once you've tried yours.
Just received mine last week. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't have any 5" tac ties left to get it on my bag. Ordered those, should have them today sometime.
Overall I don't really have anything to complain about other than wishing I had a way for molle to be both secure and also easy to remove when I don't need it

Have you tried Malice clips? They're easier to thread and to undo providing you have a suitable tool handy. I personally don't like them because I find them big, clumsy and inflexible. They make horrid belt loops but they do hold stuff to a pack more tightly than a Tactie and won't ever come undone by accident.
If I don't mind something swinging about a bit I just fasten it with a carabiner. That's the ultimate quick-release Molle connector. :laugh:
I'm looking for a pouch/slip style case for the S3. It is an open top type with elastic on the side.
I just want a case like this for when its in my pocket at work to protect the screen.
I am going to buy the official Samsung S3 flip case when it comes out as well. In general I hate cases as they make phones so slim, and then bulky cases go on them.
I like the look of the S3 whereby if the back gets scratched you can replace anyway. I prefer to use the phone naked, but when in my pocket I want it in a slip case oe pouch.
I don't want one of these pull tab pouches, last one I had stained the screen on a phone I had.
btw I'm in UK, so online, shop, eBay etc is fine
cheers

Sort of, but there was a case before I had (trying to find a pic) that was more open on the sides and had elastic on the sides. Sort of like the Blackberry case you get, where they just slide in, and are quite sturdy to protect the screen. I prefer to use my phone naked when in use
I can find a lot of sock type pouches, this one I'm after was a little more solid to protect the screen
after looking all day, think I've found one, not sure its exactly what Im looking for from the pictures though, was £8 so will see..

Well received that one, but its ridiculously too big. the height is fine but its not thin enough for the phone. it just slips straight out, about twice too thivk for it.

Im looking for a flip case where you can detach the 'flip' part of the case. At the moment im using the Samsung Flip case (instead of a screen protector) within a cheap TPU case that has a kickstand. Im finding the camera tricky to use with the flip part of the case getting in the way, so it would be good if i could take it off when needed, then reattach it. :good:
I've done a DIY mod on the flip case - cut off the 'flip' part and stuck it to the TPU with velcro - as you could imagine its far from perfect...
I've been searching for a while but nothing so far.....
Well here's something the case makers seriously have to do.
Imagine something as convenient as the Microsoft tablet detachable keyboard?! But a detachable flip.
I would buy one without thinking twice.

Looks like a practical solution.
However it has a magnetic clasp. If I understood correctly, this is bad for the Note, because it interacts with the digitiser ?

Is there any flip cover that only the front one like apple ipad one? So could use any hardcase...
Thanks for the input.
The Mercury colour case looks good, i'll bear it in mind. There a couple of youtube vids knocking about so i'll do some more research.
As usual, you need a woolly coat to get the things you want...
Detachable front cover case for the iPhone A larger case for the Note would work well.

There must be a demand for such a case? I can't be the only one who prefers not to use screen protectors, but finds a flip case gets in the way of using the phone, especially the camera!?
The search continues....
Edit; Found another one;
Luxury window flip case- not sure where the 'luxury' element of the case comes in as to be fair, it looks cheap and nasty!

I have one of these : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIO-BLACK..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2570d08d2f
You can remove the phone relatively easy when you need to use the camera, is a bit fiddly to get to the stylus (but I have large fingers)
the magnetic clasp locks around the rear of the case/phone so does not affect the digitizer.
Hope this helps
I was also looking for a detachable flip casing .....the normal flip casing is uncomfortable feels weird when capturing pictures & recording videos
