The Official Accessory Thread

I've never owned an android phone so forgive my ignorance.

I'm wondering if anyone knows who makes the best cases with fan designs (such as the ones you find for iPhone on Redbubble or Threadless.) The only sad part about my migration is giving up my Doctor Who and Buffy nerdy cases.

Is there a site that had these types of designs available for the Nexus 4 that might soon offer them for the 5?

Thanks!

actually, there is a case with a clear back that you can print anything you want and have it as the design. Amazon.com: [AIR CUSHION] SPIGEN Google Nexus 5 Case ULTRA HYBRID [Black] Bumper Case with Anti-Scratch Clear Back Panel + [1 FREE Premium Japanese Screen Protector & 2 FREE Graphics] for Nexus 5 - ECO-Friendly Package - Black (SGP10609): Cell Phones

I ordered it but it hasn't come yet.

I have that one on order as well. I know it comes with a template or something, but I'm curious how one is planning on getting high quality prints to put in the clear case?

I'd like a professional look instead of the homemade job it really is.

Thanks to you & shelliewnj.

I too would ultimately prefer a professional look, but for this price, I'm happy with a slightly more home-made style for now. I really enjoy having my nerdy loves on my cases. :)

Amazon.com: [360
 
It seems most folks are buying the Spigen protective case. Why are the ones that's linked to Amazon, not on Spigen's own website?

I don't know how I forgot that I need an armband for running. There are only a couple on Amazon. I think I'm going to order this one. Anyone got any thoughts on an armband?

That looks good. I'd put the phone on the inside of my arm. I've had a weird few years of either falling down or getting knocked over. :eek:
 
I'm a runner and use to wear some type of arm band. However, I run with a light weight runners fanny pack now.

Set my music and running app and I'm ready to go.

That's what I used too when I went bike riding. Unfortunately my bicycle is in storage. :(
 
I'm a beginner and sadly, still have a bit of belly and things around my waist just aren't terribly comfortable. I've used an armband for years when doing yard work and such and never had a problem. Though, the iPhone is considerably smaller than a N5. Maybe I'll hate the feeling with a N5. We'll see.
 
Ya, phone size is an issue too. Can't imagine running with a phone of the N5 on my arm.

Update how it goes though. I'm always interested in running accessories.

That case looks nice for running. I might get it. I ran last night with my N5 in a baggy pocket of my cargo shorts and it was just fine. It didn't seem to be in any danger of popping out. I suspect the pocket of my sweat pants would be just a good. I hate stuff around my wait too.
