For those of you that have the Jawbone (www.jawbone.com) you are probably like me and don't like the ear "gel" that comes with it. My personal favorite is the ear gel that comes with the Jabra headsets. Well, take the one that came with the Jawbone off and put the one that came with the Jabra on. It fits great and also allows the sound to channel right to your ear like on the Jabra. I can now say I'm totally happy with my Jawbone. Just needed the right ear gel adapter. Hope this post helps others out there. ;-)

It fits very snug and doesn't "rotate" like the stock one that comes with the jawbone but it fits. I went to Jabra's website and ordered a pack of gels just for my Jawbone. :-)
If you're concerned and you have a buddy with a Jabra. Borrow one of the ear gels that he's not using and give it a try for yourself. I think you'll be happy with the results. I've already gotten replies from others that have tried this and everyone that has tried it is happy with the results. One of my buddies even uses his Jawbone without the wire that goes behind the ear. His stays in his ear without the wire since he's put on the Jabra ear gel.

You can order a kit of the gels from www.jabra.com, they are cheap. I ordered two sets to have spares.

Do you have the model number of Gels you ordered?
I searched on Jabra with Gels or miniGels and their site shows nothing.

This is weird. I ordered them directly from the website but now i can't find them. I have to head out for a little while but I'll search again when I get back and try to get you the part numbers. Damn Jabra keeps changing their website. Leave it along JABRA...leave it alone! LOL

I found my order. The item number, description and price are as follow:
13059, Jabra MiniGels, $5.50
Hope this helps. Not sure why I could no longer find it on the site but I purchased it directly from Jabra. I ordered two kits for myself.
Just looked over the invoice. Jabra is using Hellodirect.com for their sales site. I just checked Hellodirect.com and they are there. Just go to the site and do a search for the item number 13059. The page will come up for you.

I've ordered them, just in case...
But I find the Jawbone fits comfortably with the oval shaped gel supplied, and stays in my ear without using the earloop.
I'm liking it so far.
