Most people who want an armband want it for running, biking, etc., where they won't pull the phone out during their event. However, I need an armband for hiking because I use my Razr Maxx as a GPS (using offline maps and the ViewRanger app). It's never going to be acceptable for me to try to use it while it's in the armband, because I would not be able to see it well enough, much less manipulate the GPS program. I need a safe, secure pocket for the phone from which I can pull out the phone dozens or hundreds of times over the course of the day. I don't wear shirts with pockets while hiking and even if I did, the straps of my backpack would interfere with getting in the pocket. I want something that will let me keep my phone on my bicep so it will have a good sky-view and it's easy to pull out.
Any suggestions?
Saw one at best buy close to what you are looking for. Its neoprene and made for large phones. The neoprene should make it easy to pull out and put back. You'll have to look it up or just go to the store and ask as I'm not too sure who makes it or what its called.

Tell me what you end up getting, Id like one for when riding my bike alot, keeping it closer to my bluetooth headphones would be nice to stop the audio cut outs. Also then the screen would be easy for me to look at and change a song when riding
Also let me know how adjustibe the armband is, im kinda really skinny and my biceps arent that big
Here is one...
Just in case, here is the one I purchased and have been using at the gym and when riding my bike.

I was wondering if anyone has one or if they have seen/heard one. My girlfriend wants a USB cradle for her Wizard and as it is only £4 more than just a cradle I thought "why not?". What I am interested in is the speaker quality for listening to music arround the house (away from the gooooood speakers). I don't think it would be a waste of money either way as it is still a cradle even if the speakers are absolute cricket droppings.
If I do get one I'll post an update, it looks likely though.
I've been looking to get my hands on something like that as well. Only places I've seen it so far have been outside of the US. If someone ever carries it in the US, I'm going to be all over it.. Would make for a nice radio replacement at my desk..
Expansys opperates in the US under the name of Mobileplanet, I've not had any issues with them in the UK and all orders have been prompt and problem free.
I found a review:
http://www.mobilitysite.com/articles/link.php?id=342
Only cons are low volume... I'll have to see...
Bummer on the low volume.. Also noticed that the 8125 doesn't fit.. Looks like I'm out of luck for now.. Nuts..
If you have some polycement (melts and re-sets plastics) you could remould the dock section to fit, it is only slightly different shape. You'd need some setting putty to make a cast of the bottom of the Wiza100 then you case the cast to get a wiza100 shaped lower part. you place polycement in the regions that don't match (may require some dissasembly of the cradle) and gently push to change the shape... Would probably make a mess so nvm... LOL
Speaker cradle
Yeah , it looks good , but there's one that looks even better and fits the cingular 8125 !!! But $ 40 is a bit too much to spend on something that'll not work on it's own , well .........

What about this cradle I found at BargainCell: http://www.bargaincell.com/product_11268_1201.html

I really like the look of the blue case. Cheers for showing us these.
Looks like from doing a bit of research on google they are roughly a good $15-20 to buy so not too bad (that's Aussie dollars)

amazing... where i am buy in indonesia ?
Great case (I have one) although it doesnt cover much of the front of the phone ie front edges or buttons when lying face down on a surface and the camera/mic area is also exposed when lying down on a surface - otherwise excellent case.
Oh yea the right hand side of mine pops off and the case moves slightly back and forth over the phone causing scratches - the movement is solved with sticky tape between the back of the phone and the inside of the case.
I have incidentally since bought a Krusell case which is far far superior in many ways (see post) but does increase the size of the phone a lot more than this slim fitting profile Imak case.
P.S - dust/dirt getting between the back of the phone and the case can cause a sandpaper scratching effect between the hard surfaces and I used some sticky tape to stop the slight movement as the case moved over the phone to also stop the scratching (and the movement).
So I was having the rebooting issue that so many of us are having with different cases.... I know about the other mod where you modify the back of the phone but I did not really want to do that so I took the case and phone and really looked into the problem...
What I found was otter is putting a really nice "bump" of rubber on the inside of the case so the users get a nice and easy button push... Well after some playing i realized this made the button way to easy to push. So easy that any pressure was holding the power button down. Now our phone have a ultra slim easy to press power button as it is, but with the cases added "bump" on the inside its over kill. So I took a razor blade and SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY cut the extra bump out...

It looks a little sloppy in the pictures but by taking my time I got it smooth and flat. Now I have a little play room on the button (I actually like the feeling more now!) and it has not rebooted alllllll day.
I would say if you're like me and don't want to modifie your phone... I would try this first.... With the case on you can't see it and no body will ever know you did it when you go to sell the phone .. unless they really know what to look for.. ... But when you go to resell your phone they might notice the base cover being modified....
This might work with other cases too! Let me know what you think and let everyone know if you try it and it works with other cases!

Not sure why guys with rebooting issues don't hold the case manufacturer accountable for an obvious design flaw. I owned 4 different cases and none of them had this problem. If my case was causing my phone to reboot, I would just return it for one of the many other cases that work fine.

I just got the Nexus 6 as a replacement for a defective device. Long story, it's not a size I would have chosen, but I'm falling in love with this beast against my will.
I'm not a large person, but I'm pretty active. Obviously my old jogging armband doesn't work with the 6. Has anyone found one that will? Ideally with the case on it? I have this case on it. It's a PITB to get off.
Thanks for any advice you have.
I have this one I got from Amazon.
I like it a lot, but you won't be able to use your case with it.

I have a little fabric armband that a friend gave me the other day. It's actually for a iPhone 6+ so the headphone jack hole is at the bottom. No biggie I can flip the phone upside down in the case. It stays in there fine. I used it for the first time today to work out. Um.. well during one arm rows whenever I'd pull up the weight the volume would go down. At one point I'd somehow booted into the bootloader screen. It was insane. I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I almost hardcore factory reset my phone while working out with just my left bicep.
Moral of the story? Try to find an armband that is made for this phone. I'm sure I can use the armband my friend gave me for running but nothing else. For those wondering this is the armband. I hope I can post this link.

I have the supcase armband as well. Have had it for several weeks and gone on several runs with it. It holds great and you can actually remove the band from it and use it as a case as well. My only complaint, which I don't know if you would even call it a complaint is that the velcro on the armband holds REALLY well. To the point where it is a little bit of a struggle to pull it loose.
Thank you all very much!
So my Gear S does not fully latch on to the charging cradle anymore it only adheres to the back what has happened. I don't want to get a new one that I have to pay alot for so for now I have a hair tie to hold it together that is the only way it will charge for now. However I don't want it to ruin my watch to the point where it will not charge at all. Any ideas or solutions

Try this .....
Ok so I just saw the charger the top piece broke off a little which holds the cradle in place. So for now I will try the pill bottle method if not hair tie it will be.
Both my clips broke
Both of mine broke and now it's a real PIA.
I really can't believe Samsung came up with such a horrible design when such a simple and effective method like what LG or even Apple is going to use exists. I still enjoy my gear S but now that both clips are broken, I really am ticked as it's making charging a PIA.
I've already made the decision to switch to the LG Urbane LTE the moment it's available in the US and while I don't know when that will be, I'm definitely going to make the move. IMO it looks 1000% better too.
In the mean time, I just jumped on Amazon and via Prime ordered the cheap charger only cradle for the Gear S. Due to arrive Tuesday so I'll post back the findings but the dozen plus reviews show it works perfectly. I don't really use the built in battery on the existing one much if at all since the Gear S holds a charge so long.
look here

Just call Samsung and they will replace it.
