What? What does an armband have to do this looking like an iPhone. There are valid reason to want an armband. Running or going to the gym are time when an armband might be useful.

I was going to make this exact comment, but I didn't know how useful it'd be to helping the OP(and me) find an armband for my phone.

I use this one. Not bad, just got to wear your phone upside down since there is no hole at the bottom of this case:

Time to bring this thread back from the dead!
I have been looking for an armband for a while. Is that one good? It doesn't have a way to close at the top, couldn't the phone fall out?
I found that same case on eBay for $11 shipped.
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-ARMBAND-P...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item2558426b9e
This phone is thicker then the iPhone by 4mm but could it fit in an iPhone case? I might swing by the store tomorrow and try sticking it in one.
Yes, the Tilt is tight in the sleeve. But I haven't had any issues with it falling out during my workouts, etc. I think the sleeve actually is an iPhone case, but I might be wrong. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
im looking for one that has another slot/compartment for cash. nothing too big, just a little slot.
I have been on the hunt for a armband that I can use that I don't have to take the bodyglove case off that I use. I have tried a few of the stores around my area and they are all made for iPhone and with the case on they are all just to small.
That armband on eBay looks great. Just worried about water getting in if it started to rain while running. Suppose I going at least hold it upside down if needed till I got home.
I think it makes sense putting it in upside down so you can glance down with it on your arm and read the screen if needed.
Now...any recommendations for some decent application that displays speed, distance run and tracks my route for uploading to Google Earth? Saves buying a Garmin 405!

Try Endomondo - it uploads automatically to its own site and you can extract the track info from there. Mine's been off a little bit with my TP2's GPS chip, but I don't know if that's the chip itself, the software, or the fact that I run with my phone in the pocket of my shorts.
Here is my review of the CLIP case. Just got it last night and so far I love it. Tablet fits very snug into the Clips, actually had a difficult time getting it into tabs. The stand function is great. I had been looking for the built in stand function ever since I got my tab. I got the white one since the black one was out of stock, but didn't really care about the color, although the white sort of looks like my uncles shoes down in Florida. No offense it2steve. The one tab does block the USB/sdcard slot, but I don't really use either very much so no biggie for me. The synthetic leather also had a very strong smell, but I imagine that will go away over time. Overall a very good product, will have to see how it stand up over time, and I will report back with any problems that do arise. Nice job it2steve.

Very. It pretty much filled up my office and bedroom. I'm happy to report that it's pretty much unnoticeable after 4 days unless you're, like, 3 inches away from it. So, uh, stay away if you're extremely far-sighted.
Hoping to grab a black one today...
but if someone is interested in swapping out for the white one, I would be interested in seeing it....of course if you live around DC it would be easier.
Do you have a link I can check out? I definitely need a case for my tablet. Also, did you get a plastic screen cover. If so, where did you get it?
So how long did it take you guys to get your stuff from Steve? I'm hoping to snag a Clip, but I will be on a trip from the 11th to the 15th, and I was hoping to get it for that.
CLIP just came in stock, I got a black one =D
My was delivered within 3 days of ordering. Excellent service from a delivery perspective.

Awesome, thanks.
Just placed my order for two clips, in black. Looking forward to having cases for my tab's so soon after they arrive (should get my 2 tabs tomorrow, and the cases next week!).
I really like the way it looks but i dont like that it is not leather and for $48 well? ???
Black CLIP on its way to my house as well...
I think I am all accessoried out. My wife is going to kill me when everything starts arriving. TAB coming today...then the screen protector...then the dock and charger from Steve...now the CLIP...and then the 16 GB MicroSD card.
Now if I can only get Vegan loaded without bricking the thing. :/
Grab the M1 then...cheaper price. Personally, I thought the CLIP looked easier to put on and off without covering the whole TAB. No one else I know has a TAB so I won't have any buyers remorse. I won't know what I am missing.

I have the white one and, while I may not be a leather connoisseur (hmm, that doesn't sound right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZr8bbKxYrE ), I do know cheap when I see it, and this definitely does not look or feel cheap. I think it's mostly due to the fact that it has that leather texture and it's not that shiny, puffy, padded type faux leather that you see on a lot of cases or folios.
IMHO, it's worth the money, especially seeing how many awful (and less useful) cases are out there for as much money.
Oh, and it only took 4 days to receive, I think, and Steve seems like a very good guy and responds to emails very quickly.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one.

It's worth it. And if for whatever reason you decide after you receive it that you really don't like it (I can't believe you would since this case is awesome) you can always sell it on eBay.
This is a place to show off your after-market watch straps (eat it, Gear Live ).
Whilst I haven't got my hands on the G Watch yet, or a 3rd party strap for that matter, I can at least see what straps you've all ordered. Right?
I'll be slapping this strap on my G Watch once the watch & strap arrive. I might also swap between the strap on my Pebble, that's a cuff-style strap.
Until people get their hands on devices, this thread will most likely be people just sharing links for straps. Once I'm able to, I'll be uploading pictures of my G Watch in various straps- And so should you!
-----
TL;DR, What strap(s) have you ordered for your G Watch?
I opted for the White Gold version, I haven't been able to decide what color bands would look good on the watch.
So where did you find that strap? It looks great.

I ordered the Black G Watch.
And got this band coming in for it.
Have similar band on my Pebble but its a one piece. Going two piece on the GW.
I can't find this anywhere, what kind of watch strap do I need. I don't want to accidental on purpose order the wrong size

the only issue you may have with the black metal ones is that they tend to scratch easily on desks and things, showing the silver though from underneath, a lot of Pebble owners are having this issue. Its the only reason I have gone for a leather strap. It looks like a nice one though.

Question for you, and anyone else opting for a metal band: Does anyone know or can anyone speculate how these bands will work with the charging cradle? From the pictures and preview videos I've seen, it looks like you have to lay the watch down on the cradle flat, so it seems like the closed metal band would interfere. Maybe you'd have you put the cradle on its side somehow, or put the cradle on the inside of the band? I really prefer a metal band, but I'm not sure how that would work.

I have that exact band on my own Pebble, and haven't had much of an issue with scratches. I'm pretty tough on watches (apparently I'm rather clumsy), and my band still looks like it did fresh out of the package. Maybe I got lucky with a really good band, even though it was a pretty cheap one from Amazon.
My friend is selling me his watch, that he got recently, for $130. It's a decent price, but I already use the Gear 2 Neo -- which I think is pretty great. The battery life lasts over a week! But I don't mind charging it every day...
Should I get it?

It depends on if you'll use it. A new watch is down to $179 now and it's going to compete against Apple watch, Moto, and LG G Watch R. Plus I think that $130 is a good price. I would pay that for a used LG GW in good condition. At the very least you could sell it for that if you don't like it.
$130??? That's a no brainer
I just purchased one from Swappa.com and I got it for $120. I think both rates are great considering that I paid about $30-40 less for the pebble watch. I would get it.

Here's mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55436398&postcount=123 It's one of those metal elastic kind that stretch with springs, so your arm hairs can get caught in between which is kinda annoying, but I had it sized just right so it doesnt move around much and thus isnt too much of an issue for me. If one gets caught I just stretch the band back out real quick and I'm good.
I think black leather with white stitching also looks really good and I may end up getting that too. You can see it around in other pics online.
I got a white one for $100 off of Craigslist. I'm liking it.
It will keep me busy until I get a Round

For some (like myself) the fuss with round watches come from the fact that a round screen mimic much better a classier round watch face. Also round display is bigger (at least on the Moto360).
However after using the square screen on my G Watch, I really think I'll have a hard time adjusting to a round one once I upgrade to the LGGWR.
Cheers!

The LG G Watch R has that bezel around the watch and will not have the same feel as the G Watch or the 360

Actually I do like the bezel on the Round since it serve as a bump protection and also have a full 360 degree screen... Of course my perception could change once I see it in person...
In the meantime, I'm happy with the LG G Watch.
Just got a white one for $80 bucks. Sweet.

Quite honestly since I got my white/gold version, I don't feel the urge to get a "newer" smartwatch anymore...
Don't get me wrong, I do love the idea of having the G Round for example, but even though I've been loving AndroidWear, and especially now that I know every aspect of it, paying more than $100 or $150 for a smartwatch on its current state does not make sense to me at this moment, at least not anymore.
I think I'll hold until the next round or two of AndroidWear hardware/software.
By the way, I think the white G Watch looks more interesting than the black one.
Tip: try to cut a small piece of Post-It and cover the charging pins to protect them from rusting, really easy to remove and replace every night. Just make sure the sticky part sits on the case and a small non-sticky flap covers the pins.
Cheers!
I like the idea of Android wear and I regularly wear a wrist watch its even not something I have to inculcate a habit of.
Recently I was able to find a Brand New LG G watch @ $110. At this price it was very tempting even though I don't like its design. But at 1/3rd the price of Moto 360, I am considering it and therefore need your valuable inputs.
Firstly, will the White Gold Piece look a little better then the black one.
Secondly, will a good leather band make its appearance a little more appealing.
Finally, is it worth it or should I wait for next gen devices.
No responses! Anyways have finally ordered it, hope it's something worth keeping.
Well I purchased one at the same price the other day, and it showed up yesterday. I'm definitely still shifting my daily routine to better utilize it, but I feel it would be worth over $200, and we just got it at bargains. Sure there are a few hiccups still, especially when you're running Lollipop on your phone, but I would have paid this price just for the sleep tracking and alarm that woke me up like a champ this morning. The other stuff is extra. Although expect to charge more than once a day while you are still exploring the device and getting used to it.

I had to try Android Wear and when it popped up at less than $100 for a brand new piece, I couldn't resist.
It's reassuring to know that its worth the price. Thanks.
Yes
Yes it is worth it (my personal opinion). If you want a Android Wear device, LG G Watch is a great choice for that price. The competition doesent offer much more specs on their watches for a much higher price.
I bought t Lg G Watch just to get a Android Wear device. Somehow I also feal that the G watch is the Nexus Watch, clean simple and does what you would expect from a smartwatch at this stage.
I get about 2 days of use before recharge and It sits comfortable on my wrist (I have a very small wrist). Great watch, who will last a couple of years before the newer generations smartwatches is to superiour, and then I`ll just buy a new one
Maybe. The screen is 280^2, so it is unique. If you want to save a little more try cowboom for $90 on used one, or wait for discounts and coupons..
Have bought a brand new piece for around $100. I am liking it so far.

yup. good buy.
I got mine second hand for 150 a few months ago and am pretty happy with it. am only looking to upgrade to the 360 due to a few extra features like dual mic.
I just picked up one off Cowboom for $70. Should be delivered tomorrow. I'm very excited about it. It should hold me over till the Android Wear V2.0 stuff is released. Although I really like the look of the Moto 360, I didn't really want to spend $250 on a gen 1 version - as nice as it might be I have to assume the gen 2 stuff is going to be even nicer!

It was the Cowboom "deal of the day" a couple days ago. It's been available a couple of times through them. So you might just want to watch their deals. The last round, even though the condition was listed as "satisfactory", everyone seem to get one with the protective plastic still on the watch. I'll see what mine looks like tomorrow....

Too bad. I'll keep looking and hope to find a deal. I currently have a gear neo and tried both the gear live and moto 360 and returned them for different reasons. I do want a wear device just to play around with and to keep me from being tied to samsung.

Just and update.... I received my G watch from Cowboom. Although it did not have the protective plastic on the watch, it looks brand new. There wasn't a single scratch or mark on the screen, watch body, or charger. The contacts are also bright and corrosion free. It was listed as "satisfactory" condition on Cowboom.
Again, if there are others that are interested in the watch, but want a good deal, I would suggest that you pay attention to the Cowboom deal of the day. This is about the 3rd or 4th time they have offered the watch - each time in the $75-$80 range (with tax and shipping). It's a great buy at that price and I haven't seen a single complaint regarding the condition of the watches. They all seem to be like brand new.
Happy hunting!
I too jumped on the cowboom deal. Great condition, looked brand new...
Great price...

I bought one too from cowboom. This watch is ok. I wanted something to use with c25k app like the pebble.
The default timer and alarm are both limited by the preset times. You can't customize a time like 6:14 or something. Sucks cause I wanted to use it while coaching. However there is an app in the wear store that will work.
Just got mine from there too. Had the plastics on it, but one pin has some corrosion and is silver. No idea how big of an issue this is. Should I return it?
The watch looks good! I got it for around 7500! :/ Missed out on a cheaper deal! Still a great buy I suppose
