Xperia Z2 Armband - Xperia Z2 Accessories

Anyone have a particular armband they use with the Z2? I can't seem to find a quality one, and most are just made for a general size smartphone rather than the Z2 specifically. Any insight into a quality armband that fits the Z2 nicely would be greatly appreciated.

This is a decent enough armband and will do the job just fine if you're just looking for something to strap it to your arm whilst running. It is by no means the best armband I've had and it's obviously a generic band which is cut differently according to the phone it's being sold for. I doubt the band will keep the phone dry if it's raining as the top cover isn't sealed down, it just rest on top - but I'm not sure this is a major issue given the phone itself is waterproof.

Sports Armband, is there any?

Hi
Does anyone know if there is a sports armband for the wrist/arm that fits the TD2?
I have searched and searched, but haven't had any luck yet...
If anyone knows of one, I would be a happy camper.
Thanks in advance.
I've been looking too and fear gaffer tape might be the only solution...
Ok, maybe a bit extreme for your needs (I assume)

Why?
Why risk a £400 phone by strapping it to your arm when you can slip it in a pocket or secure belt case?
If you want mobile audio while out jogging or something, why not a small pouch with your phone safely stored in and a set of A2DP headphones? No wires at all, then.
If it's some obscure use, then I've no idea... I can't see their being much of a market for an arm-based mobile phone holder... Kind of makes it difficult to answer unless you plan on walking around doing an elephant impression!
EDIT: Or get an iPod Nano
VIVANCO armband for Iphone
I purchased this one from VIVANCO which is sold as an Sport Armband for Iphones. This was the best I could find for a reasonable price (12 Euros) and is very comfortable.

Erm perhaps because you want to do some exercise and you don't have suitable pockets? Nothing worse than having a phone bouncing around all over the place.
I use the band which came with my Motorola S9s. The phone fits in perfectly though it's very tight with the plastic case on.
You can make your own with a random armband and a diamond 2 silicon case.
I just got for myself this from Nike. Fits the TD2 perfectly.

for sure the sportsband that comes with the motorola S9 is most excellent fit for TD2.
Maybe with some luck it is possible to buy just the armband with ebay!

Sport Armband for Xperia X10

I am looking for a good sport armband to keep my X10 while running. Looking for it, I found a couple of items that seems would fit well : a cheap chinese armband and the Nokia CP-402 ...My only doubt is: would it fit well???
What's your opinion about these items??
Anybody using a sport armband with X10??
If you check by dimensions, there's little room for error
Unless you are looking for a plastic molded holster, then any that fits an iphone will work. I was out looking for cases and whatnot and everyhting that fits the iphone, my x10 fit perfectly. Again unless it was a hard plastic mold type cases which obviously will not fit. WOnt be hard to find one if looking for one that fits an iphone, as there is a million an 1 accessories for the dumb iphone.
using one meant to have around neck but instead of that i tied it on my pants belt loop thing so if i happen to drop my phone it will stop at knee height, has saved my phone twice.

I thought it too. Maybe I was unlucky with the model, but I tried a PURE Arm Band that was made for Iphone and it was ABSOLUTELY impossible to fit the X10 in it! The aperture was just too little...
In any case I think I'll look for an Iphone Armband and hope that it fits well!
Thank you all!
I am looking for one too. Since the Pure didn't fit, I am quite anxious to buy one online. So a proven armband would be nice
Today arrived the Sport Armband I ordered from China trough Ebay (
Look for Gym Sport ArmBand Case Holder for Apple iPhone 3G 3GS).
The building quality is poor,but the materials seems, on the opposite, to be quite good. The X10 perfectly fits inside the pouch and,despite the top is open,I don't risk to loose my phone.
What more? It costed me only 2.99 bucks!

Hmm, well. It does not sound that bad. But it would be nice with a picture of the armband, if possible?

Any news on this?
anyone got lucky and found an armband?
Photo!
Sorry for the hated Iphone inside. After a long period using it I can confirm that it perfectly fits the device (despite being open on the top) and that it is great for running!
ps I posted a Bonamart picture, but if you look on ebay it is plenty of similar items!

yes and you can close it at the top
Exactly!
As you saw it seems there are several versions of the same item, with few differences, sold by several sellers. The whole building quality is middle-low but I never had problems using it.
I preferred to buy the open one, since I was not sure it would fit with the closed top. Anyway, despite being open on the top, it is so tight that the X10 will never slip up!
I found some on ebay. Out of the few the list, there is one made by Motorola, and it's rated "Top-rated Seller."
X10 Sport Armband
Stupid forum rules ... I can't post links.
ebay search: Sport Armband for HTC HD2 Leo EVO 4G Sony Ericsson X10
Just picked this one up on ebay. Hope it fits well ... The x10 is a great phone, but a little bit on the heavy side when jogging My old Nokia Xpress Music 5310 was better that way ... Let me know if anybody wants to know how it is.

Hi. I got it today. Here is a picture (sorry about the flash backfire).
It doesnt close at the top, but it doesn't have to: It fits fine, so I can hold it up-side-down and shake it. It doesn't fall out.
Also, there is a small pocket on the side where you can put away any extra headphone-cable. This was a nice feature. The quality looks overall OK.
Here is the not-so-OK-part: The plastic in front is stiff and lumpy, so the touch is kinda "so-so". Maybe this will get better after some use (maybe the plastic even out), but if you're planing on using the touchscreen alot while it's inside the case, this isn't the case for you.
I'm just gonna use it for music playback while jogging, so for me it's perfect! (7/10)
this is what i've been using. it's a tight fit but the material is stretchy and is able to fit the x10 securely. i bought it last summer for about $10-$15. it doesn't feature a headphone out opening but i use my mw600 bluetooth headphones so i don't need one. it has grip pads on the inside (not shown) to prevent it from sliding down your arm and an adjustable strap.

[Q] Jogging Armband that fit HTC EVO 3D?

So twice now I've brought armband, once off Ebay and once off Cellphoneshop.net and neither of them fit. ebay one won't fit at all, the cellphoneshop.net one barely barely fit with no case on, but the cover don't really close properly and the headphone jack hole is on the wrong side!
Anyone know a good jogging armband with clear face cover that will fit the EVO 3D? preferably with a TPU case on.
Is so frustrating when seller advertise something as for our phone and its actually some generic crap!
I'll throw this out there in case it ends up working out for your. I used to try finding clear cases and arm bands but they never really worked very well and I ended up prefering the phone near my waist and running my headphones inside the back of my shirt.
It works great for my uses. I love it for jogging/working out/shooting around (basketball).
SPIbelt sells jogging belts, bands, etc.
http://www.spibelt.com/spibelt.php
http://store.spibelt.com/Waterresistantspibelt-p/7bl-a001-001-waterres.htm
It does not have a clear face. It's just a slim water resistant pouch/belt that you can order to fit your phone. I just specfied "pouch for HTC EVO" when I ordered mine.
Again it does not have a clear face and I wouldn't even say it's "easily accessible". But for holding your phone securely while being very active (I use it for jogging, lifting and shoot arounds) it is very secure. I strap it around my waist and you forget it's there.
Just thought I would throw it out.

I went through the same PITA.
Finally found this one which fits beautifully... the little holes for the headphones can be a awkward depending on your plug style/size, but other than that it is the best I've found:

I'm coming to the conclusion i need to buy the expensive armband also, but I was worry they are just more expensive version of the cheap stuff too.
Can you please let me know if the iarmbands one would work with a TPU case on? if it can then it would be perfect. as far as the headphone holes goes i'm not TOO concern, my headphones have very slim jack, and worse come to worse i can always enlarge the hole a little, as long as its in the right general location

Arkon's XL-Armband fits the Sensation. I have one with the Incipio NGP case and it fits with the case on.
We designed the armband to fit most phones with screen sizes from 3.7" - 4.3". I've tested it with the Sensation as seen above, Thunderbolt (with TPU case), Droid 3, Droid X 2 and a couple others and they fit.

Pics with the EVO 3D:
It fits a naked EVO 3D nicely, I'd say it would probably fit with a TPU case.
Got my case from iArmband today and I'mot impressed at all. The holes don't line up at all for the headphone jack, it's more of a generic size then specifically for the 3D and the arm strap is way too short.
Edit... So I received an email from iArmbands about my issues with this item. They apologized for the inconvenience and issued a full refund. They also told me to go ahead and keep the product as well...pretty outstanding customer service if you ask me.

Belkin DualFit Review

So I had been looking for a good armband for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II and I couldn't seem to find any decent ones. The only decent one I had found was for the International Version of the GSII. I thought this would be a slight issue since it wasn't for the AT&T version, but then I realised that they are pretty much the same size. My biggest concern was build quality and all the ones on Amazon seemed to be very low quality overall.
I began the search to try to get the Belkin Dual Fit in the states since they only sell it on their website in Australia. I did manage to find it on sale through Expansys but they didn't have a listing on their site for the states. Changed the domain and bam I found it available for delivery.
Here it is if you want to order it
It arrived this morning to my job so I haven't had a chance to work out with it, but I will say, the build quality is very nice. It's a well built device that seems to be meant for just a slightly larger device. There is a bit of give in the case, though that could be because the Dimensions are just slightly off for the device.
Getting the phone into the case is a bit difficult since the plastic front does stick to the phone itself. I found it easiest to pull the plastic away from the face as inserting. Seems to work best. It also is quite difficult to remove the phone from the case as well. The headphone jack does line up perfectly with the phone though that isn't a big selling point for me since I use Bluetooth Headphones exclusively. The other design aspect is since the International GSII has the speaker port in a different spot, the hole in the back doesn't line up, but I didn't notice any real issues there soundwise.
One BIG design issue (which is related to not having a proper armband for the device, is turning on the screen, you actually have to press in on the case blindly to hit the power button. Took a couple times for me to find it, but it is not easy to do off the arm. If the case is on your arm it is much easier to work with. The case does seem to have a spot on it to store your headphones as well, a small little pocket, maybe that's for cash, I'm not really sure.
Overall the case isn't half bad, and I'm sure the plastic/neoprene will stretch out slightly over time to fit the device better.

best armband case for working out?

like the title says, what's the best one out there?
This one fits perfect! Everything align and you can leave in a PT case.
Riot Outfitters - Arm Band for 4" Samsung Galaxy Android Devices - Black
You can get it at BestBuy. Search for the above.
I use this one:
http://www.amazon.com/iGadgitz-Resi...6HQO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322619735&sr=8-1
I like the inside velcro flap - no way the phone can fall out or get loose. You really can not have a case on the phone at all with it though - it is very snug!
Hope it helps,
