Great for anyone but me, who likes to play on my iphone while jogging. Its really a wonderful product for fellow joggers who listen to music, just plug in your earphones, and your hands free, well, most people are handsfree, if I didn't play with the buttons constantly

Makes the buckle dig into your arm

Good Only If...

I have and iPhone 4s. The armband is looks very pleasing to me. I really like how it looks when I put it on and it's comfortable too. Although, it's made of some of that stretchy material, be aware that there is no room for a case because the front is some hard material. I tried and it didn't fit right and I was risking tearing the armband. From what I'm seeing there isn't really an armband that compensate for cases, which makes sense since cases do come in all shapes and sizes. I'm quite good with my hands so snapping on and off cases isn't a big deal for me.
There is a slit on the back near the top where you slide your iPhone into. I have to admit it was annoying that it wasn't "natural" and "intutitive." I'm crafty with my hands and fingers so I was able to get the hang of it.
I don't sweat that much, but when I do the sweat it does seep into the slits. I don't feel like I sweat enough where it will get into the phone, but for those who sweat like crazy beware of this. It would of been nice if they they gave the slit an overlapping sleeve. I'm sure this would of made it easier for some to insert the iPhone and address the seeping of sweat.
The hard front cover does cover all sides and only has a opening the jack for the headphones so using the - and + buttons on the phone is not idea. I use headphones with remote so not an issue for me. There is no clear cover on the front. I'm not sure how I feel about this since It would of been nice to have some extra protection, even if I have a screen guard in place. It would of also help made the sides more stable. You can see that the left and right a pulled a bit when you look at it. Of course that would of given the iPhone screen a slightly translucent look, instead of a clear view.
In short, if you have trouble dealing thing that require finger precision, despise taking off and putting on cases routinely, or sweat a ton this may not be a good fit for you.
I got this armband on Black Friday for $10 so it was really a steal for what it is. I would of been slightly disappointed for $20, but it would still be a decent price.

Droid Incredible

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this armband yesterday and used it to work out this morning. The droid incredible does not have it's own armband but this armband works out pretty well. It fits in there very snug. The only thing I don't like about this is the headphone jack opening is on the opposite side of where the droid's is but that was an easy fix. I just took a knife and made my own hole which worked out great this morning. I am about 5'5 and 120 pounds (my arms are little) so I was afraid this wouldn't fit tight enough but it did - it also has alot of room for guys with big muscles too. If you own a droid - I'd say go with this until they come out with one specifically for the incredible.

My biggest issue with armband iPhone cases that I've used in the past is that they have a clear plastic cover to protect the screen while runno=img. The problem was that I use Zagg's Invisible shield. When my body warms up(along with the plastic cover of the prievious armbands I've used...the plastic adheres to the Invisible Shield. When I try to remove my iPhone from the case it caused the Invisible shield to stretch and crease...permanently.
This case doesn't do this because it's open and still keeps my iPhone snugly in place!
Thanks Rocketfish!!

secure hold and no wobble
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I really like that this case is flush with the strap and allows no wobble/bounce when I run (unlike my last sports band). Very comfy, easy to access controls on phone.
It's easy to remove the phone by snapping the fabric off the top of the phone, but it's a little difficult to get the phone into the tight fitting fabric backing. Also, I would prefer that the case had some protective cover over the screen of my phone. Both of these are not big issues for me since I only use for running on the treadmill.
This was a good value, good comfort, and good durability thus far! Love it!

Kinda does the job

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought it because I liked the look of it and the armband was really adjustable, but while using it, the sides next to the phone bend out of shape, and while putting it in and getting it settled, there's no direct access to the volume buttons on the side, so occasionally the volume goes ALL the way up or bottoms out while I'm putting it on my arm. Once you have it in place, you can kind of adjust the volume through the case, but it would be easier if there were a cut out there or something.

Not the best accessory for your iPhone
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
There is a lot of front side cushion to prevent impacts, but no cover for the screen. The felt side of the strap is already threading out after only a few weeks of use. It's hard to adjust the strap as it keeps moving on your arm.
It's a ok for a cheap price, but I'd invest more in the next one for better protection.

I use the armband when I weight train and it works well. Its a little challenging getting the i-phone into the case, but it's much easier to take the i-phone out of the case. The i-phone could get scuffed as well as their is no screen protector. But overall a good product.

OK for the price

For the price, the band is fine. However there are some design flaws. It is tough to change the volume as there are no cut outs for the side of the device. The metal clip on the band that the band slides through tends to get sideways and digs into my arm at times. Getting the phone in the holder can be difficult, however removing it is simple and quick. Overall would recommend if looking for something affordable and functional. Just realize that there are some drawbacks.

I've had this armband for years, bought it back when I had a 3GS. It's perfect for that model and earlier. With the 4 and 4S, the proximity/light sensors on the phone were moved and are covered when in the band. I cut that part out myself to get the sensors exposed more than a year ago and the case is still working fine. Would love to see on updated version of the band for the 4 and 4S though. I've tried other bands, (ie Belkin)...no comparison! This model is the best. Lightweight, snug fit....I highly recommend it.
