5 Stars Wonderful Fit, comfort
I wasn’t sure from the appearance in the image whether this armband would fit comfortably, but after trying it on and using it in a couple running and biking sessions, I’m absolutely delighted with this product. It is made of soft material that fits very snugly and comfortably around my arm. It doesn’t slip at all. I would definitely buy a Belkin product again if I was looking for another armband.
4 Stars great fit. great stability. one slight problem.
for most applications this product actually worked better than i thought it would. it’s perfect for running and working out if you’re only listening to music. the fit is fantastic, and it stays exactly where i want it on my arm. unlike other reviewers i don’t find the band too small to fit my arm i consider myself a pretty average sized guy arm-wise, and there’s still some room to grow.
i found out that there are actually a couple very handy pouches (one shown in the picture as a red line to hold cash/keys) the other is on the back side of the ipod pocket and is perfect for id, credit/membership cards. these are fantastic.
on the downside, if you have invisible shield or another similar product, the plastic covering the screen does some friction adhesion to the invisible shield, making it tough to get the ipod out. the plastic screen protector also makes it a little tough to cue up specific scenes in videos. rather than the smooth scrolling of the sliding time bar, the video tends to jump around probably due to the fact that the screen protector actually makes more contact with the ipod’s face than your finger would alone. i use the p90x series and i get whooped, so i have to rewind a few seconds to keep up. often this results in going back a minute or two. very annoying. that’s the only complaint. it seems to work fine with other applications (typing, selecting music, etc.). other than that, great product. highly recommended.
1 Star My iphone is ruined
I shopped a long time to find this product. It had great reviews. I did take note that some people were concerned that it appears that the iphone could get wet. Well, I’ve had mine for about a month now and guess what!! Yep, I went on a 12 mile run today and of course sweated like crazy and now my Iphone is ruined. It worked fine during the whole run and even after. I took the iphone out of the arm band and set it on my countertop while I took a shower. When I got out of the shower I noticed my iphone screen was blank. I thought maybe the battery was dead so I plugged in the charger. After charging for about 10 minutes I wondered why it wouldn’t turn on. I then pushed the audio/vibrate button and notice that it did vibrate. So it’s on I thought but I can’t see anything. I called my phone from my house phone and sure enough it rang. The screen no longer works. This product is supposed to be for sports. Well guess what, people sweat when they play sports. Whatever you do, do not buy this product. I’m now out a phone.
3 Stars Kinda useful
Wanted something to hold my iTouch while mowing or working out. This works but is too much work changing it out of the case for other uses (grocery shopping, appointment scheduling, etc). So I find I don’t use it that much. It’s easier to just put the iTouch in my pants pocket when mowing or on the book holder while using an exercise bike, etc. The band size adjustment should make it suitable for any size arm.
I would say this is great if you just want to listen to music while moving about, but is not that useful for other iTouch programs.
4 Stars Armband
I really liked this product. The only problem for ME is that I’m so small it doesn’t fit well on my arm, but that’s more of my fault then the armband.
