Sport armband for nexus 4??

Going to try a Galaxy S III Case
I haven't found any Nexus 4 sport cases, but I found A LOT of S3 compatible ones. S3 is a little bigger but close-ish in size according to phonearena, so I'm going to try a generic case that is maybe on the snug side for an S3 that hopefully the Nexus 4 will stay in.

I just cut a cheap tpu or silicone case and slide an old armband through it. Cut the slits parallel with the side of the phone; about 1/4" smaller than the band that you are going to pass through. Make sure the case is tight on the phone and you should be good to go. I have also used a seidio active case (the one with the 3 plastic pieces). You slide the strap between the hard plastic and the rubber liner and it will work well too.
kind of like this
The attached photos are of a seidio active case for a galaxy s2 but it fits the nexus 4 if you cut a new hole in the rubber for the headphone plug. The power button matches up perfect but the volume buttons are a bit off. The lower button on the case is even with the top button on the phone.
I use this setup because I hate having the plastic protector that is on every workout case I have found. Once you start sweating its nearly impossible to control the phone. It also holds the phone extremely well. I have crashed my bike on the trail several times while using this setup and have not had a single issue with it.

I highly recommend against this method for anyone who wants the phone stable. With this method the phone bounces all over the place when moving. Not an issue as much on a bike, but there are much better options.
Been using this method for the last 4 years on 3 different phones. It has worked great for me. If you cut the slits near the edge of the phone and just a bit smaller than the band (mine is 3" tall) it works well.
But hey, to each their own.
I'm using my no brand s3 armband. (was using an s3 before getting the nexus 4) Anyway, the headphone jack hole placement is slightly off, but you can still connect your earphones through it without much difficulty. The phone fits snugly enough in the armband too. Hence, if you can't wait till a n4 armband is available, just use the s3 one. It gets the job done.

Pictures or link?
Since the band you used is no-brand, can you post a picture of it?
Or, if you still have the link to where you bought it, share?
Looking at the S3 dimensions I thought that this would work as well, but the particular band that I got was WAY too tight on the sides.

Was too small for the Nexus 4.

Some pics of my brand-less arm band. I apologies for the grainy pics. But I was using my Nexus 7 (front cam) to take these..
As you can see, the earphone jack doesn't exactly fit but its not that big a deal that i'd need to go out and buy a new armband

I was browsing eBay and stumbled on this: BLACK Sport Armband Case Bag Pouch Cover for LG Google Nexus 4 E960 I remembered seeing your question in the posts list, so figured I'd pass along the info.
It doesn't look like it's custom for the N4, but depending on how long you're willing to wait for something that is, maybe it'd "do" ?

Who is so dumb to play TapTap Revenge while having his phone on armband?
From the other hand it can be a good excercise...
sry for offtopic...
Did you get this? How does it work? Does it fit with the bumper on it? Can you use the screen while its in the case? Any pictures would be wonderful if you could post them.
Thank!
Good looking out! Ordered one. I saw a few similar ones on Amazon before but they costs like $10-15
Anyone tried the Armpocket Extreme i-30 or have any experience with one from other devices? They are pricey, but seem to be of higher quality.

Look for a Galaxy S3 water proof armband. The S3 is 0.5 mm thinner, but 1.9 mm wider and 2.7 mm taller, so a waterproof armband that fits the S3 should also fit the Nexus 4 (assuming you are not using a bumper, which would increase the dimensions considerably).
I just ordered one of these as well, will post a running review after I get it sometime next week or the week after. I figured I couldn't go too wrong for under $5
