[Q] Armbands that fit? - AT&T LG Optimus G

Has anyone found an armband that fits? I've bought one that was advertised for the E970, but wasn't even close to fitting, so I'm hoping there's someone out there who's maybe found an honest armband for the E970.
It'd be a bonus if my case (Diztronic Matte case) could stay on while in it, but it's not a deal breaker if I have to take it off to use the armband.
There's one on DealExtreme that says it fits the E960 and E970 that I'm thinking of taking a gamble on.

HTC Touch Pouch

Does anybody know if there'll be a pouch for the diamond 2 like for the diamond? Or simply will the Diamond pouch fit the diamond 2?
the diamond 1 pouch does not fit the d2
Don't think there is an official pouch, pdair have quite a few different ones available tho.

If you look at the Tracy & Matt unboxing video, its shows an HTC Pouch in the box. However, everyone so far has said it doesn't come in the box. Conclusion? I think there is/will be one, but it will a separate purchase like the with the D1.
I've been looking at the Beyza pouch for the Samsung Pixon. The Pixon has identical size stats to the D2 (well its 1mm wider), so if its just a pouch you are after, that may fit the bill.
Pdair are now selling a vertical pouch without belt clip, just ordered one myself.

I was looking at that too. I just want something slim and simple to not add bulk so it can slip in a pocket. Can you let us know what you think when it arrives?

Not sure how long delivery will take but will do when I get it.
Horizontal Pouch, HTC Brand
I bought this one: http://www.negrielectronics.com/touch-diamond-leather-pouch-p-2424.html
It is a Velcro closure and the phone does not fit well. further, it does not have a hard side to protect the touch screen. I assume this is a general case by HTC. I bought this, but I will probably continue to use the case from my Trinity, the fit is the same but this at least has some protection on the sides.
In a word, Disappointed. I am not sure why they skipped the case, and then fail to offer a decent one at launch time.

Looks like Noreve are going to do one too. Expensive, but nice, classy cases. See upcoming products at bottom of web page.
Asia model comes with those pouch similiar to original Touch Pro.

Just be aware of these pouches
I did not get one with this or the TD1 ... with the TD1, the original one went on stock very quickly and I bought it for almost £10!
While the fitting was slim and snug, I couldn't help thinking that the tight fit had potentially caused light scratches on the rear (front I was not bothered as it had the protector on)
On the day I sold it, I did a very intensive clean on it and noticed there were indeed scratches that corrosponded with the pouch.
It only takes a small bit to be trapped in the pouch - you then slide the TD1 in and that bit goes down with it
I still don't know however what I want for my TD1, at the moment, I am using the original Ipod velour case that was bundled with I think the original 20gb ipods!

Yes, I prefer this pouch too. Unfortunately the HTC designation of that pouch is not mentioned on their website (i.e. the HTC PO S390 as for the D1), so a purchase seems to be tricky....
I just bought this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360151845729 since i want as thin as possible.
This isn't going to appeal to everyone since they aren't bargin basement cheap but I've just got one of these cases delivered this morning. I went for Nappa cowhide black B on the outside and red suede leather for the lining with no belt clip attached and hidden magnet closure. The case itself looks fantastic, stiching quality is excellent (not a loose piece of thread visible anywhere) and overall protection where its needed the most (on the screen) is hard to beat with the wrap over flap on the front. It took a couple of weeks from order to delivery, but for a case which is made to your own specification, right down to having your name embossed on the front, that isn't bad. If you want a quality product made to you want it, and personalised, give them a go, I'd definitely recommend them. They do a range of different styles so if a fold over horizontal pouch isn't to your liking have a look at the other options.
Nice, i just orderd one too
Nice cases, not cheap although they look very nice...
I have found my HTC Kaiser case that came with phone and I'll use that until something better comes along.

Got the case yesterday, it adds quite a bit of bulk so if you're looking for a really slim fit then look elsewhere, other than that it is of good quality and has a nice professional look about it so is ideal for work. It also offers lots of protection for the device.

@galvinize: is it possible to take the belt clip off? doesnt look like in promo pictures - but in yours.
edit: could you please take a picture with the front up - or is it just a sliding case?

Gel cases?

Just curious if there are any gel cases yet? I know the Xoom has one now. I really don't want a case unless I'm going out, just want a gel case so I can walk around the house with. I've got one for my mobile phone which is just basic black, but it works great and holds better in my hand, I think the same would work better with the Transformer too.
Let me know!
I am considering the same option, for basically the same reason. I have a TPU case for my Captivate and it was one of the better investments and would live to find a similar case for the TF. Just keep searching eBay for TPU and eventually they will start appearing.

leather book style cases

So I really like the pdair book style case (http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001131_11001398&products_id=35041), but I'm not really keen on spending that much for a case. I was wondering if anyone knew of other (cheaper), cases in the same style: specifically a case were the tab is inserted, as opposed to the case being clipped on (which seems to be most of the cases I've found).
Verizon sells a Belkin case that is pretty similar for $40. Someone posted some nice shots of his VZW tab in it, and I can confirm that the fit is excellent on my P6810--only issue being an extra cutout where there isn't an IR emitter on mine.
Ordered the pdair cases, as I already have one for my Note. The cases are very good quality leather and well made.
cool, I'll check out the belkin case. Thanks
i am using the attached gnarlyfish cash cost around $30

Leather Belt clip/holster?

Looking for a quality leather belt clip/holster for my 4G LTE and not finding much.
This is what I had for my Evo and 3vo
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-messenger-side-case-with-belt-clip.html
Looking for the same thing for my Evo LTE.
Found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Horizontal-Le...7I/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1338874338&sr=8-15
and not much else.
Do any of you know of something similar that isn't a cheap $12 POS?
I also found this and it's right up my alley.
http://www.spigen.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html
but no belt clip.
I got something like that from walmart. It's in their electronics/cell phone accessory section. It's textile, not leather, but has a similar clip on the back. Uses velcro not magnets to hold the front closed (somewhere I read that magnets can be damaging to the digitizers????). For $10, I can't complain. Phone still fits even with the tpu cover on.
If you got no cover, verizon has a nice leather case that fits also, and is leather. $20
Thanks for the reply - I'm looking for something a bit nicer than textiles. I'd really prefer leather.
Any idea what phone the verizon case is for?
I too have been looking for a good leather belt case, but have found none.
Have you found one yet?

Still looking. I have a local contact who works exclusively in leather. I've asked him to see how much it would be to make a case like the HTC one I already have, with the higher quality of the Spigen one.
I'm still looking. Anyone find one that fits yet?
I apparently used the wrong search terms and didn't see this thread until just now after posting this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697882
They day I got my phone in the mail I went to best buy since I knew sprint didn't have a leather case yet. Found this, it's by rocketfish. Best holster I ever had, and I only use holster's with all my phones. I don't like hard cases. The magnets are strong, it feels great, soft inside, the clip is very strong so it won't come off your belt, and the best part is there is a hole in the bottom you can use a finger to push the phone out with so you can get it out of the holster easier. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...Id=5070815&st=rocketfish phone case&cp=1&lp=3
I got the one for the evo 3d for my LTE and it fits little snug but it works only thing I could find. I might need to get the last one a bit expensive but it is what I wanted just like my old blackberry pearl case.

I also bought this case. I highly recommend it if you want a horizontal holster
Edit: I decided that I wasn't gonna run this phone naked, so I exchanged the holster for the Platinum Series case and holster. Forgot to check and see if the Platinum case fit in the leather holster. If someone doesn't try it before Sunday, I will, and post results. I really liked the leather holster

That appears to be one of the better leather cases I've seen to date.
I'll check it out tomorrow at my local Best Buy.
Thank you for the link.
Noreve
Hello Everyone,
Hopefully Noreve will come out with one soon. They have one for the One X
Monnie
Definitely headed to Best Buy tomorrow. That's just what I was looking for and not finding. Looks about like the old HTC leather case I had and still used with my 3D.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get a custom leather case from easecase. They've been around on ebay for a long time and I've seen reviews going back to the fuze praising their cases.
Did you ever get your easecase case? How is it?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I'll be looking into easecase as well. They made a nice one for my OG EVO to my specs (I wanted it to fit a cased device).
Not cheap, but they do good stuff.
SPE Leather Cases are the best. Period.
I've been using them since the OG Evo.
I'm waiting for them to release the case for the EVO LTE.

I also ordered myself a crocodile case from PDair.
It just came in, and works great.

I'll upload some pictures later.
I know this is a old thread but might as well ressurect it .
I bought this belt case

Hopefully it fits my EVO 4G LTE and my SGS3. Its only $5 after shipping.

Silicone 'jelly' cases LS970->E970

Hi all-
just a followup to my prior post about this in another thread. Until proper E970 cases are available (why not already?) the soft silicone cases for the LS970 that seem to be found quite frequently on eBay and elsewhere do fit the E970. Silicone cases are much more flexible and stretchy than TPU plastic, and I've been using this type since my Blackberry days because I think they're much more shock-absorbent when a phone is dropped.
Here's a couple photos of my E970 with an LS970 silicone case from ebay seller Casewear. If you know where to *really* get these cases (wink-wink nudge nudge), there are literally HUNDREDS of sellers already and the cases are ~$1.50 apiece or less; I just went to eBay because ebay sellers have much speedier shipping than the wholesalers over there..
As you can see with the attached pics, the LS970 case isn't perfect, the E970 is a little too thick or a litlte too long and the rim around the scree nis exposed a bit on the edges. Likewise on the back, the camera cutout is wider to fit the wider 13mp module on the LS970. In a few days or weeks the plastic will probably loosen up a bit and fit a little better anyways. But for $5, I'm not complaining and it's a damn sight better than letting this glass-back curling rock slide off my table.. desk. kitchen counter, books.. anything I put it down on.

These type of silicone cases are available for the AT&T model. I just ordered one.
The jelly case I got from eBay is too tight. For 2.99 it's alright,but I'm willing to spend fifty bucks if I can get something really nice and slim as well.

I had the opposite problem. I originally ordered from eBay and mine was very, VERY loose. Picks up lint and dirt from your pocket like most do but this one seemed to be a magnet for it; of course, I did order black.
By the time I'd pull the phone out of the pocket on my scrubs, which are looser than jeans obviously, the case would be halfway off. The packaging and the eBay advert all stated E970 so I'm assuming it was a defect in that particular case. Not worth the shipping cost to get my money back.
