Running arm band - Nexus 6 Accessories

Any recommendations? I have only found one made for the N6 but there maybe one fit for the note series our iPhone 6+ that will work.
This is what I found: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OHFHOZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_.WRCub1FY0X05

It's not an armband but i'm a large fan of the flip belt. It has no problem holding my iPhone plus, and i was able to keep using my current case.

Interesting. Do you run with it? Do you track your runs if you do, and is it accurate? Otherwise, for less than $10 the arm band in the OP looks decent to me.

i ordered this one and it will arrive soon. I will come back and report in when it does. I like the hard case design because my experience with the pouches is pretty mediocre

I have not ran with it yet, too big to keep in the pocket and don't care for the idea of holding out.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered the running armband. I like the design of it better than the generic one I have for my Note II

Another Belt- based option.: http://www.amazon.com/SPIbelt-Small...e=UTF8&qid=1416851897&sr=1-1&keywords=spibelt
I grabbed one of these from a Running store a while back and have used it with my Galaxy S II (T989), Nexus 4, and now my Nexus 6. The nexus 6 is a bit of a tight fit but it works perfectly and does not fall down so long as you tighten the band correctly and have it above your hips, and not on them. I pair this with a cheaper BT stereo headset while running because I can't stand cords at all while working up a sweat.

I do run with it and it does track my runs rather accurately.

Just had a 3 miles run with running buddy 6+. It attaches very well with my track pants. Nexus 6 snugs nicely (seems like it will fit well with snap on case) and do not bounce while running. It do feel awkward mainly due to how big phone is. I think will get used to in a while. Its definitely better than arm bands. Attached few pictures.

I was running yesterday with the Google Nexus 6 Easy Fitting Sport Case and Armband Combo from SUPCASE.
I'm really happy with the armband. It holds the Nexus 6 perfectly in place.

Does the rubber case part of the armband easily come off or is it pretty tight on the phone? I was thinking about getting this one.

On the front the case covers all the non-display area. The Phone sits tight in the case. To get the phone out I always pull on an edge on the bottem (2nd photo). So I have no problems to get the phone out of the case. The whole case consits of rubber.

Awesome. Thanks for the detailed reply and photos. Looks like I'll be purchasing one then!

I've always used TuneBelt. I went through AB86 for the Galaxy Nexus, then AB88 for the Nexus 5 (I had to order the AB88 from Germany because it was not available in the UK at the time).
As again, the TuneBelt is not available in the UK yet, I found this one on Amazon and gave it a try as it was so cheap http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00QV6849G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 although knowing it was going to be crap.
Well, it's not completely crap, but you get what you pay for, no surprise, and it's too tight. It came with the cardboard insert for the Note 4. It's even tight for the Note 4! (tried with my son's)
So I just went ahead and ordered the AB92 from the Netherlands http://www.ipodhoes.nl/tune-belt-ab92-sport-armband.html
I probably won't be using it as armband at the gym as the phone is so big for my arm it looks ridiculous , but it's still more protection than just the case and with BT earphones I don't need it on me but I like to be able to see the screen for the HR monitor (with a pouch style it would not be possible).
I'll post pics when it arrives.

I'm using a Spigen SlimArmour case which is still quite big and it fits very well, it would even take a bigger case.
If you don't use a case, it might be a bit too big, maybe the AB91 would be best.

awesome! im getting my nexus 6 this week and i already have my seidio case for it. this is perfect! 16" max so looks like i gotta get the extender (i hate having to spend more money!). so i take it the headphone ports won't work, but i guess i can use my bluetooth headset instead
http://www.amazon.com/Armband-iPhone-Plus-5-5-display/dp/B00NMWWIJY/ref=pd_cp_cps_2
is this the one? looks like it's a little cheaper than their actual site, and i do have to buy the extension piece as well, so if i can save a few bucks here and there that would be great

I have the same one that xaraxx posted and love it

Silicone Case Suggestion?

I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Soft-Silicone...h=item110357833639&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase
CW any pics mate ??
i got the silicon case from ebay and its not a tight fit.come off very easily. am now on the hunt for another case. there is a case for the iphone which is a plastic case but a rubberised finish.

My CLIP Case Review

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.

[Q] Arm band holder

Has anyone tried a hold like THIS ONE. I'm thinking about getting one so I can use it while running, but I'm just afraid of the phone falling(Flying) out. And does anyone know if the touch screen would work through the covering?
Looks good, but yeah I hear your concern about the phone might be flying out while running and swing the arm to hard.
It doesn't seem to have anything on top of the insertion point to secure the phone. Maybe you have to mod it a little, i dunno.
i wouldn't worry too much their pretty snug i have one for my itouch and it doesn't move at all when you tighten the velcro band around your arm it basically seals itself
Edit: and to save you some money their is also this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Blue-SPORT-ARM-...868534?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27bc4cb636
this one is just like the one you linked http://cgi.ebay.com/Sport-Gym-Armba...655725?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20bac8806d
I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Belt-Incredible-smartphones-protective/dp/B003ZJGZ8O/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt
I used it for my OG EVO and am now using it for my 3D. It works great. It's quite snug, but that's how it should so it doesn't fall out. I haven't noticed any condensation like that one reviewer stated. I've used it for long runs - half marathon, 10ks, etc.
And will I be able to use the touch screen at all through the clear cover on the arm band?
yes, you can use the touch screen through the clear cover

I use the old one I had for my EVO 4G and it works fine too. Can't remember where I got it, but it was a snug fit with a flap at the top to stop it from flying out. I'll try to take a picture later.
I bought one of the red ones that OP mentioned and it fits well and haven't had any issues with it at all. The quality I was a little worried about when I bought it but it seems to be pretty decent.

I end up buying one armband for the ATT infuse 4G off ebay for about $7.5 shipped from USA (HK is cheaper but i didn't want to wait that long), I reasoned that since the infuse is both taller and wider (but less thick) a 3VO in TPU case should hopefully fit.
I should get it later this week or early next week, will report then.

[Q] Cases with a kickstand

Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.
This one seems okay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163
But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

Thanks for the link and the info...I too got my SGSII on launch day and was disappointed at the lack of accessories and items available for the AT&T branded SGSII. I even have communicated with Body Glove about one of their cases (As I have been a fan of that one and used it on my Cappy and Infuse both) but they said they will not be producing a Body Glove case for our phone So I am going to try the above listed one and I will let you know. Maybe even post some screens and update the thread.

I bought this today instead of the leather case...
Its definitely not as bulky as I thought it would be (previous experience with the thrill and infuse pop cases) and the kickstand works great!
It also fits real nicely. The leather case seemed a little too tight and that it would require some effort to put in properly

I've had this for about 3 days now. I think its called Minisuit
Pros: Thin, light, tight fit, good kickstand, cheap, quick delivery
Cons: no hole for secondary mic, generic micro usb rechargers have trouble given cutout (stock cable works fine)
Happy enough with it for now.

Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.

Best VR Goggles for Nexus 6? Any?

Wondering if there are any VR Goggles that work with the Nexus 6. If so, which would be best?

Lots of goggles in Amazon. The really good ones, like Zeiss are way too expensive. I bought Pop Tech 3D VR glasses. Had a cheaper pair, Joy Geek.. Returned them. My new glasses being delivered on Wednesday Dec. 30.[emoji2]

This is what I am using. Fits nicely and has a remote control..not sure if we can just use Bluetooth remotes (wiimote would be nice) haven't really tried them yet.
Do any of these work for a Nexus 6 with a thin cover, such as a Seidio Surface? I'd love to try one, but don't want to have to remove my cover every time I use it.

I was looking to get this one. Can you see everything on your screen? Our phones are pretty big.

Yeah it fits very snug in the headset...comes with some padding to situate it correctly...the volume buttons kept getting pushed until I figured out where to put the sticky pads...
As far as the viewing ...I can see everything...you have to move the eye lenses around to make it clearer but I can see the corners very well.
Overall I would highly recommend. Pretty cheap so no reason not to.
Make sure to check out the Star Wars app for some very cool VR stuff.
Also there is NO WAY to use any case as the phone BARELY fits as it is....it does fit but has to be naked.
What good software goes with specific pair of VR goggles? Do not want to spend bucks on a headset and find nothing useful to run using it.
You gotta pay to play

Not much yet mostly slightly interactive videos...some games but its in development still. Don't buy if you don't want to but it will only get more development as time goes on. If you want something to google while your looking for software...try this
https://www.google.com/search?q=tri...id-tmobile-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
It let's you remote your PC with a vr headset
Can confirm it works pretty well with gta5 in first person.
As long as your PC and WiFi are above average.

Thanks. It looks like there is a newer version of that headset. I just bought it. The name is VR BOX 2.0. I will report back how it is if I don't forget.

Can you or anyone provide a list of VR goggles that will work with the Nexus 6, preferably with a case, although that doesn't look possible.
No! I'm looking myself

Could you please-please-please post some photos of the phone inside? Is it a set it and forget it setup, where you can adjust everything once and then just easily drop the phone in or do you have to align the phone centrically each time you drop it in?

Does anyone have the Giant Version of Cardboard from this link? If so, does it fit the Nexus 6 any better than the VR box 2.0? Also, what is the remote for that comes with the VR box, as shown around 3:45 in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaIhOIZTalY

Just curious, why would you want a cardboard when you can get a proper VR headset made out of plastic, which also you don't have to hold with one hand for about as much?
For the remote -- search aliexpress or gearbest for "bluetooth vr remote".

I would rather have a plastic one with head straps, but previous posters have said that the Nexus 6 doesn't fit in them. I have asked and searched for one that will fit, but no luck. Ideally, I'd like to find one that will fit my phone with a case, but it might take a next generation for that to happen.
I want to buy one for my Nexus 6. Those with experience with these gadgets, which one would you advice ? Price isn't a concern as long as it is not more than 50$.
Thanks.

I have another model which I bought a year if not more ago for my Nexus 5, but for Nexus 6 the VR Box 2 seems to be the winner features-wise. Last I checked it could be had from aliexpress for less than $30 with remote and shipping all in.
Hey all,
Just stopping in to say I purchased the VRBox 2 from Gearbest.com about two weeks ago. It should be arriving today according to the tracking number. I'll post an update when I get it and try and take some photos and give you guys details on how the Nexus 6 (not 6p) fits in there and how the VR is.
It cost me 25 USD and I ended up paying 10 dollars extra for express shipping which still in my opinion took way to long.
Will post an update tonight after I mess with the headset.
