LOL….well maybe you not wear that spandex outfit huh? :)
I wear loose comfortable shorts to the gym….hit the weights for an hour or more then cardio…elliptical or treadmill. Never have i had a problem with my Note 3 in my pocket. But to each his own….that why they have so many sizes. One is bound to be perfect for what you need it to be…...

I think the bigger weights you lift, the smaller of a phone you need so it doesn't get in the way. That's why I need a smaller phone in the gym. ;):D;):D

Your nuts, hehe I mean that in a good way. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week also and stream music from my phone (DI.FM ftw!!) to bluetooth headphones. I use my iphone 5s, I could NEVER see having the Note 3 in my pocket while working out. As it is the 5s gets in the way at times or threatens to fall out of my pocket and I have to take it out and place it somewhere safe for my set.

This is coming from a Note 3 owner and cheerleader. Although I will say when it's time to get on the elliptical I will tether my Note 3 and use that instead of the 5s.

Ahh, when will that foldable tablet/phone become a reality?

This is why I only buy workout pants/shorts with zipper pockets.

I'll have to look into that.

I don't see myself with an armband. I have stopped taking any device with me to the gym to workout at as they continually fall out of my pocket. The front desk was probably getting tired of me asking whether or not someone turned it in. Thankfully the folks at my gym are very honest and do so.

You guys and your gym troubles.....

Due to "oversize issues" I have enough trouble keeping myself in my gym shorts (when I squat I touch the ground) so I just use an iPod Nano :p:p:p:p not a chance of getting a phablet in there too :D

I wil say I've had my Note 3 fall out of my pocket twice in the gym, so I agree that it might not be the most gym friendly device. But if you have bluetooth headphones, just set it on the floor and go back to training.

I liked my Note II's screen size. Now I hear the iPhone 6 will come in the same size or maybe the same as Note 3 or even 6", I'm going to buy it. Over 6" is just too big for me. It's like holding up a tablet when you makke a call

Swiping is awesome, you just have to get used to it.


I agree. The short time that I was on a lumia when my iPhone was lost, I used swype and learned to love it. Unfortunately, it is the only thing I enjoyed during my experience on an android based device.
