Works as described but could betterJuly 19, 2010 Ivan Ledyashov(NY) I use this armband for running, skating and biking in conjunction with the iPhone RunKeeper application. All works as expected and relatively without a hitch. It protects the iPhone well, even in the rain, and stays on the arm. However, someone with a lesser bicep can have trouble keeping it between the shoulder and the bicep. Putting it on is a bit of hassle. The strap comes off and you have to loop it in every time you put it on, and do so with only one hand. Also, the headphone wire holder onto which you wind up the wire is of poor design as it doesn't hold much wire and easily comes off the armband. I'm always afraid to lose it. I can see how taking off the wire holder can benefit people who do not listen to music while exercising, but the wire holder isn't in the way and is pretty weightless. Overall I'm happy with the purchase, but I wish I had gotten a bit more for the buck. A connected, easily tightened band, a better wire holder, and maybe a little pocket for a credit card, ID, keys would be nice.
Ok for runningJune 5, 2010 Jackt123(Georgia USA) The fit is good. The arm band does what is said to do. It could use a little wider strap that will stretch or give a little during exercise. I have used it for 11 runs now and it fairly comfortable, but not like my Nike plus arm band for my nano. The plastic allows you to operate the iPhone easily. Seems pretty well built.
No complaints here.April 3, 2010 Tammerz21(Seattle, WA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't have any major complaints here. I'm 5'7" female 135 lbs and the armband fits me just fine with a little extra armband to spare. I do work out regularly so my arm does have a little muscle so I can see why other females might have a problem. I do have to take my phone out of its case every time I want to use this armband but I don't mind that too much. The phone fits snugly. The screen is a little less sensitive but still works fine which makes sense because of the thicker cover in the front but I'm glad because the more protection the better. The side volume buttons are inaccessible but who needs to constantly change the volume while they've already started exercising anyway? I just set it before I go. It also comes with a little clip on the side so you can wrap excess headphone wiring around it and works great! I hate having wire dangle down near my waist. The clip is also removable if you don't need it. Overall I think this armband is a great buy, I like the sturdiness and style.
Good LuckFebruary 2, 2010 Cole Morse(Virginia, USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you have a bicep, good luck. I couldn't get it to even come close to going around my arm. Frankly it is easier to have it in my jacket pocket.
Works As ExpectedJanuary 25, 2010 E. Deines I use this armband for running with the RunKeeper program on my iPhone. The armband itself fits comfortably and feels secure (doesn't work loose). You can see and use the iPhone screen through the "window" on the armband, although it is slightly more difficult with the plastic cover, as one would expect. I use the apple headphones with the Remote and Mic, so adjusting volume, changing songs, etc is easy to do while running.
