I've been doing some searching for an armband for the pro but have yet to find a specific one made just for the pro.
Anyone have any luck with this? I understand it is a bit larger than what I would usually take to the gym but it would be nice to consolidate much of my activities into one unit.
The closet I've come to finding is someone posted that an iPhone belkin armband worked for their Diamond. Not sure if this would be a good buy.
Any help would be appreciated.

armband. LOL. I'm looking for the same thing and i dont know to translate it either.
Wristband maybe
( I wouldn't like to have it higher on my arm )
You might be interested in this, however, the one review I found wasn't very positive.

RE
I'm getting a tailor to custom make a breathable mesh wristband which allows me to slide out the top section and use the kb and have a cover to close it when not in use. It will work on both my wrists
As for armband you can get those meant for handphone from sports shop like NIKE sports shop
If fashion is not important for you...
Please take a look at the page here:

Thank you for the input gents. I suspect I won't have this device on release date so I'll have to mull over these options a bit. Appreciate it.
Try ebaying for a universal mp3 armband. You should be able to find one that can fit the Touch Pro's dimensions.
You tried this:
S9 Fitness Pack
I got it and it fit the TyTn II perfectly (obviously came with the S9 headset as well!)

Bump
Anyone ever find anything that worked?
I found these - http://www.amazon.com/BLACK-CELLET-...ts=1&colid=&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
Buy it has bad reviews about some glue like substance and such.
I'm desperately looking for an armband that has a clear cover over the front so I can control the phone.
Cord hole is not too important. I work out with my Jabra BT8010 Stereo bluetooth headphones all the time (LOVE them!)
That motorola S9 stink! Had one for a day before returned to newegg. Ear pieces were uncomfortable. But the solid band on the back of the head was annoying for working out! Benchpress with music was impossible (bench would knock off the headphones)
I recently bought a target stylus at Best Buy for 20$ and didn't find it to be as good as I thought it would be.
I was doing some research and I stumbled across this bluetooth stylus for the galaxy tab...
http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-bluetooth-stylus-29-09-2010/
Does anyone know if this would work with our a500?
Anyone have thoughts?

Did not find the specs, you want one for capacitive screen.
the stylus is capacitive, but there are sensors om the pen as well, transmitting data via bluetooth. This is why I want to know if it works, anyone can test this?
Pretty sure you'd need some driver or other software on the tab to understand the data coming from the stylus...
could I copy the drivers from the galaxy tab? I'm no dev but I think what I want to do is possible
Sure, if you can identify what the correct files are. You'll probably need some kind of IME from the tab, too.
I wouldn't have to edit a driver? Hmmmm like I said, I'm no dev but I'm good at copy and paste! Lol
I honestly don't know. You could always try one of the custom ROM's based on the tab...
We have a rom based on the tab?? Can you point me to it?
It's in the dev section. It's quite old though, might even still be a 3.0.1 version ROM...
Sweet... Thanks for the heads up. I also realized that I do not have a samsung galaxy stylus laying around lol.....
Anybody know of anybody else with a samsung galaxy stylus wanting to help me find out if this works??
This is just a stylus with a built-in Bluetooth handsfree or vice-versa if you so prefer. So Bluetooth technology in this accessory has nothing to do with character recognition, it's just for answering calls. So don't bother.
Anyway, Samsung never released it. They have released a Bluetooth-less version.
Sucks. I figured that out haha. Hmmmmm. I'm still seeking an inexpensive way to find decent handwriting via a stylus on my a500.... Any suggestions.
I'm on that quest too. Nothing good so far... iPad has much better options. uPad, for instance... I mean, software. As fow hardware, I was using a plain $3 rubber-tip stylus with a built-in ballpoint pen from China.
What about using the SAMSUNG Galaxy Note Stylus Touch S stylus with the Pen Holder Kit?
The Galaxy Note S Pen Stylus can only be used on a Galaxy Note and, perhaps, on an HTC Flyer. The tablet has to have certain touch screen hardware to be able to recognize input from such styli.
That's a pity. All the other stylii I've found or seen have to wide a tip for me to use drawing & writing apps.

I have used the bamboo stylus, alupen and a cheapo kensignton sylus I picked up at Staples (Can with a crappy pen on the other side too!)
All three are great for taking notes and such on the tablet.
I think the Bamboo has the smallest tip if you need the finer point.
Just randomely googling tonight I came across this article:
http://www.slashgear.com/vortex-vr-turns-lg-g3-into-sub-100-oculus-style-3d-headset-01343851/
looks pretty exciting! Hopefully developers will pick up this unit!!
Does it detects head movements?? (right/left, up,down by own or phone's hardware). If not than for this price it's a crap because you can find universal 3D helmets for any 4-7" device from 10$(carton made/pre-made google cardboard) to 40-50$ (plastic).
I just ordered a VR google cardborad to try some VR apps with my G3 The cardboard demo seems working pretty well and
I have bought Cmoar VR Cinema on the playstore to.

Ok, thanks for the info.
hello friends I am planning to make a Google cardboard to use with my moto g can anybody tell me is moto g work with Google cardboard and how it performs?
Argg how did I miss this
I have already made it last week. waiting for lenses. I have installed the app it works as it should, only don't forget to attach that magnet and metal ring cause it's like a switch for it. It works w/o it also
share your experience bro I am very excited.I orderd the lenses waiting for delivery.that magnet switch work in moto g?some sites say that switch did not work in moto g because our sensor is placed in different place.

I think your cardboard will be ready before mine, if I got the lenses after 27
then we have to place that switch at correct location. ok just leave it, it's not that important you can touch the screen select example and then place phone in cardboard.
btw from where you ordered the lenses ?, I have ordered from local lab instruments supplier

Yup I will. May be next week. Here are the pics of my cardboard without lenses
Sent from my XT1068
I just got a kit, but the magnet is in a bad place
My kit arrived in the post today - put it together with a bit of trial end error and a few youtube videos...
Only trouble is, the magnet does nothing... Took the phone out and tried tapping the magnet here and there on the phone and it looks like the magnetic sensor is just by the volume control... Not ideal given how the box is designed! A very difficult place to cut away at to make the original design work.
Others have suggested using something capacitative (like copper tape wherever you get hold of that!) and taping one end to the screen so you can double tap which is apparently the same thing...
Good luck!
Do you have a shaky gyroscope like mine guys?? Is this normal? :crying:

Yup, It's same here
Finally I got lenses. (actually lenses with focal dist 50mm(+20 power) work perfectly)
After changing the position of magnet
It works perfectly,
only two problems
1. due to 720p display resolution you will notice pixels on screen.
2. The sharky Gyro of our phone crates problem sometimes
Otherwise it's really great experience

Posting image is not possible for me at least till next week, I'm away from home.
you can place a little magnet at the bottom right side of phone, that's the location where the sensor is
Hey everyone! Do you think the G would work with any of the readymade cardboards you can find on Amazon, like "Andoer" or "I am cardboard?" Any luck with the magnetic sensor and the shaky gyro?
Thanks in advance!

IMO the shaky gyro would be as it is until bosch or motorola releases a new sensor driver that fixes it. Is not that diffucult, just need to "smooth" the raw values. (some apps use this method internally)
The magnet halfway down the screen at the bottom of the volume control works for me. To find the exact spot, just move a fridge magnet over the screen until it blanks out. The hall effect sensor is in the phone so you can glue a magnet into your phone case to automatically close the screen and save your battery.
By taking a more powerful magnet and swinging it at the back of the phone, you can switch/'select' in Cardboard.
But I have modified a plastic version of cardboard from tinydeal which is about $13 (no magnets, but big 1.25" clear lenses) and taping a strong magnet on the inside top, and a ring magnet (both magnets come from old cheap $1 earphones, the strong one comes from large over the head, the ring magnets from others.) The weaker ring magnet is kept in place by being attracted to the strong magnet taped inside.
If you look at how the cardboard magnets work for the Google Nexus 5 that cardboard was designed for, you can figure out that you would have to put the strong magnet further from the phone.
One problem is that the bank of suction cups in the tinydeal gradually slip, so I also put a ledge for the Moto G2 to rest upon, and used 5 minute epoxy to attach it. I have attached a parts pic. The ledge is cut out from a $1 store dual dvd case.
Works a treat with the Paul McCartney concert in the stadium, use Bluetooth stereo headphones to look around the stadium and the sound moves as you turn your head.
Anybody successfully got this device working with Google cardboard? Love to try it, but the replica cardboards seem to fit bigger devices. I like to know if it will fit the z3 compact.

z3 compact is way to small. best for use with devices 5-5.5 inches
Couldn't resist trying. It works. Sadly the magnetic switch is on the wrong side. Needs some work. Virtual reality on the z3 compact! Awesome combination of the high quality camera, Google camera photo sphere and vr cardboard. You can jump in the picture and look around. Really fun and decent image quality.
Ordered a plastic headset with straps on Amazon because the cardboard won't last long.
It's not bad with this phone, but it's much better with a 5" phone and a 1080p screen. Maybe if you modified cardboard to be smaller, but with the stock plans you get black bars on the side (and the Sony logo) and the pixels are much more noticeable.
I'd give it a shot if it's the only device you have, but if you can use something like a Nexus 5 (I borrowed my friend's) it's much better.
It's not quite an Oculus Rift, but it's still really cool.
It's a pity that the magnetic sensor is near the "bottom" of the phone. I've tried placing the phone rotated 90 degrees to the right (instead of left), but sadly, the Google Cardboard app only supports landscape rotation in one direction, towards the left.

You can use your fingers, Bluetooth controller or move the magnet to the other side. Not ideal, but it works.
But if the z3c is your only phone is there a way to make the magnatic switch work (not just hold it on the other side but a permanent option) and do you really see the sony logo and black bars?
In short is my question can I use my z3c for cardboard and that it works 100% without any compromises?
And if I need to adjust something what do I need to do? Or buy?
I've used it, and it works great.
No, it's not a 5" phone but I've used a Z3 full fat with Cardboard too and the difference isn't much. I've also tried other devices and they have issues with the magnet too. Apparently the magnet provided just isn't strong enough. You can get around this by touching the screen (yes, that's awkward) to select menus with the Google demos, and in some cases, pairing your phone with a PS4 Dualshock 4 controller.
Don't let the fact that the Compact is smaller put you off trying it. It's a great way to try VR, with all the everyday benefits of still having a smaller phone in your pocket.
There are indeed ways to use Bluetooth controllers as an alternative for the magnet.

Which one did you buy? I've seen a lot of different variations of cardboard, some even for smaller phones like 4.5" - 5".
The plastic one, was a misbuy. Turned out to be 6"..
Did try a paper 4,5" cardboard on eBay wich fits fine.
I ordered a generic "cardboard" with no magnetic switch. It worked okay. I had to position the z3c half an inch further away from the lenses for the proper focus, and I had to hold it in place with my hand.
It only cost me $1.99, free shipping, so I just considered it a fun novelty.
Question. What kind of bluetooth controller would work for this?

I can confirm a DualShock 4 works if you own a PS4!

The DualShock 4 can be used to simulate screen touches in Google Cardboard apps? I'll give it a try.

It would be great if it could, but that's not quite what I meant. I meant that the DS4 pairs with the Z3C to be used with Google Cardboard. Several demos I've tried allowed me to move around in virtual space using the DS4 as a controller. I can't comment on actual screen touches with the trackpad, although that would be a very nice side effect if also true.
Just bought a cheap $2 Google Cardboard off eBay and am awaiting shipment, but I just wanted to point out that Dual Shock 3 controller can be paired with the Z3C as well and works great!
Just wanted to report that Cardboard works perfectly with the Z3C. I guess this is the first time I've run into an issue with the Z3C's low PPI as it's very noticeable when viewing through Cardboard, but that's a very specific use and I wouldn't use my daily phone as a VR handset anyway. Otherwise, everything else works as it should and was really cool!
I fixed the magnetic button issue by rotating the phone or taking the button out and putting it on the other side of Cardboard.
Works fine after a minor mod.

I have a pretty thick bumper-case for my Z3c (since I have a history of losing phones to stone-floors) and it works just fine. There is some noticeable pixelation but not to bad. As some other people have noted the magnet-button does not seem to work. I read this post a few days ago and I made a somewhat crude work-around using some aluminium foil. If it is of interest to some one else, here is my somewhat lengthy blogg-post about it: http ikmpltyh.blogspot.se/2015/07/google-cardbord-button-for-z3-compact.html
New users can't create hyper-links so you will have to cut-and paste...
i made a profile for my z3c u can download it here:
