Armpocket - Ultra i-35 Armband for Most 6" Cell Phones - Black

I was looking for a smartphone armband and although the ones I looked at claimed they would fit all phones, they really seemed to be made only for iPhones. The BestBuy clerk directed me to this one and so I took a chance on it and I'm glad I did: my HTC One fits in, no problem. I have easy access to the phone controls and other apps through the [seemingly] heavy-duty touchscreen protector, there is a band inside the case itself which holds the phone firmly, the band itself fits snug and stays in place during long runs even on hot days. And while I do have to place the phone upside down so that one of the two earbud access holes match the one on the phone [perhaps a problem for some, not for me though] I like the fact that the access holes are well covered for inclement weather, as is the full-access zipper which has a little flap which covers and secures the zipper with Velcro when fully closed. If you have an odd-sized phone--or are an Android person!--do consider this one!

This armband for iPhone 6 has a lot going for it. The materials are first rate and the quality is excellent, Velcro fastener to tighten as needed, protection from sweat or rain, pocket for id and key, allows touchscreen access. I want to keep it. I tried it. And tried it again. It slid down from upper arm. I tried using it on forearm, but it slid from there too. When I workout on machines I like to photograph my stats; can't do that with iPhone in the armband. Pain to pull the phone out in order to take photo. And so it is going back. Try it- it might work well for you, especially if you don't need to photos.

My Samsung S5 fit awkwardly in the back pocket of my work jeans. Was concerned I would bend and break something getting in or out of a car, or sitting down on a chair, as well as wear a hole in the pocket, 3 wks of use and it was what I needed for my part time job. cell in protected and as easy to retrieve as if it were in my jean's back pocket. Velcro strap gets a bit loose every now and then and has to be tightened maybe 3-4 times over a 4 hour period. When humidity is high the band is somewhat uncomfortable but the security and protection the band provides is worth the discomfort.

I like the way the armband feels against my skin but it's very bulky. I have the iPhone 6 and I had to do some modifying to get it to fit where I could use the screen. I placed the foam packaging piece behind my phone to push it against the plastic. Without it I could not use the touchscreen. The armband is also very bulky. If you add anything in the pocket I'm afraid it will add too much weight. I do like that my arm does not sweat under it.

I haven't been able to find something to hold my Note 3 til this one. It has a couple pockets to hold my house key and Id and it fit my medium to large arm. It may be bulky for smaller people, but it works for me. I give it four stars only because you can't keep your case on and put it in the holder. It is still a little difficult to zip it closed with out a case on it. All in all not bad due to the lack in the market for the note 3.

This phone protector is of excellent quality and can be worn around the arm. It has a compartment for credit cards behind the section for the phone. The touch screen is not hindered by the front cover. I wear it around the leg because I'm disabled and use forearm crutches which would get in the way of the arm band. Other people have seen it on my leg, and they thought it was a great idea. Now they are wearing it on the leg, too.

It does exactly what its supposed to do at a reasonable cost. While other armbands just stretch as you shove your phone into the opening and might fit ok - this armband is perfect and I love the fact that the case has an actual zipper closure. Your phone is NOT going to come out of this armband by accident. Very comfortable and holds larger phones such as a Galaxy S5 IN an Otterbox Defender case in the armband and can still zip it closed.

Bought my 1st Armpocket for the IPhone 5 after searching for a good armband while running. Tried 2 other brands...they were ok. Found the Armpocket. Loved it. After I upgraded from the IPhone 5 to IPhone 6S, I stayed with the Armpocket. Luckily, the I-35 fits both the IPhone and Galaxy. Sold out in the IPhone section, but found 2 in the Samsung section. Plenty of room for the phone and your keys. I will not be changing brands.
