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!

I finally found a case that covers the phone and you can still use the keyboard without removal. I never seen this case before and ran across it on ebay HERE.
I just order the smoke colored one I will let you know how it is when it comes in! I will use it without the clip and just throw it in my pocket.
make a picture how the wizard looks in it when you get it! look good but I wonder how much it adds to the depth of the device.
here some pics they not that great but they will do. the case doesnt add much to the overall size. fits well too.

will this case work with the 8125 also...?
it wont work because the button layout on the 8125 is different than the mda.

blah thats what i thought. I don't understand why you can't just make a jell case that covers both pieces seperately! HOW FRICKEN HARD WOULD THAT BE!?!?! Honestly! It is so frustrating. I wish I knew how to make jell cases like that and I would do it myself and make a mint selling them on eBay.
Fantastic

Wow this is exactly what I was looking for! Only is it tough? I am using the Aluminium one and believe me it has really protected the phone from some nasty drops. Though makes it bulky.
This one for 8125...

Saw this on Gizmondo, it's for a iPhone but don't see any reason why it wouldnt work for the G1
http://www.dessinemoiunobjet.com/iphone-and-itouch-paper-stand-dock/
As soon as I can get to a printer I'm going to try it out.
Use CARD not Paper though (despite what the title says)
nice!
the G1 might be a bit heavy but let us know how it goes, i wouldn't mind trying this either!
Will try on Saturday at the earliest, don't have access to a printer ATM.
I guess if its card it'll be ok
I've tried this for my G1 and I'm very pleased with it. Slight modification is needed as the G1 is a little thicker. All I did was widen the top of the 'T' shape that needs to be cut out by about 1/2cm and then it was perfect. I also cut out a little square underneath the dock to accommodate the charger lead.
I'm really happy with it! And I thought it was a tad ironic that I used the box from my Apple keyboard for the purpose - worked great!
I'm currently working on a modified template fitting the G1.
For the iPhone and iPod touch it looks awesome already.

Got any photos mate?
Breen - Excellent work! will you be posting the modded version on here?
Here's a little photo of the modified dock. Note I've bent the back flaps a little bit as well as that seems to support the G1's weight better:

this is great cheap easy and great i gotta try this
Hi Everybody this is my "Review" of the Seidio Active Combo Case that I got from Amazon this is the case without the Holster and its way cheaper hehe heree about 3 days after I got my EVOLTE well I have been using Seidio since the original Evo, I don't regret purchasing this Case it does what its suppose to putting it on the phone was easy the rubber was easily installed, while I had some trouble with the plastic because it would press against the rubber on an area, I think with time that gets better since the case is brand new.

Also the kickstand is not as durable as the one onthe EVOLTE but it does whats its suppose to, it stands just in one way contrary to the phone that you can even stand it up, for me that was not an issue since I never use the kickstand.
I wanted to show everybody right when I got the case.
Here are some more pictures
Thanks for the pics. I have the red version of this coming soon and really wanted to know what it'll look like with the phone inside.
I can barely feel the new Evo in my pocket but wanted to know if the case is bulky in your pocket?

I have the all black and it does add some thickness to it but i dont feel it makes it too bulky. Only thing I have encountered it since the screen is so darn big and goes right to the edge of the phone I sometimes miss the letters closest to edge when typing. Doesnt really bother me since my swift keyboard usually corrects. I LOVE THIS CASE!!!
it doesnt add much bulk at all, it protects the camera aswell when you put it on the table or anywere, its great
Ok... after having a tpu cover for several months i finally took it off and gone nekked.. it's my day 2 and boy it sure does feel pretty good in the hand and i'm loving the fact that i can always glance at it and admire its build quality and the overall looks of it. Although don't get me wrong...even though covers serves your cell extra protection from slippage, nicks etc it still won't prevent it from damages like scratchess and i'm just not a fan of slight bulkiness. what's your take on this???

this is what i have on full body cover http://www.ebay.com/itm/180800325521?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
cheap , one of the best in market , easy to install
I have a tpu case myself and as much of a keep it bare kind of guy HTC did a stupid thing with making the touch screen higher than the body itself. But the tpu case I'm a fan.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!
I have a TPU cover with translucent back that shows the rear and HTC logo. I mostly have it on for work and when working out. I go naked whenever I go to restaurants or out in public and just slip it in its Nexus One like "Andy" pouch.

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.

Just call Samsung and they will replace it.
