I am a long distance runner usually logging 10-25 miles a week and I've had a few dozen other armbands that have fallen apart over time. I'm a small 5'4 woman and every single armband I've ever had was too big and I constantly had to adjust them. This one has really strong velcro, I'd almost rather slide it down my arm than try to undo the velcro. The phone is not inside a plastic case in this one which makes it really easy to change songs, volume, check your distance, etc. I can't recommend this armband enough!

I bought this primarily for running (outside and on a treadmill). I have an Urban Armor Gear (UAG) case that I use for everyday protection of the phone. The phone must be removed from the UAG case in order to fit into this armband. The armband seems to hold the phone securely and I don't worry about it falling out... but there is a problem with using this for workouts. After a 4 mile run on the treadmill I pulled the headphones out of the headphone jack and realized that I was not getting in sound from my speaker. I immediately removed the phone from the armband and discovered the inside of the case and back of the phone (where the speaker is) was drenched in sweat. I removed the back cover from the phone and discovered the inside of the battery compartment was moist as well. The problem with this case is that there are cutout holes for the speaker, camera lens and flash. These holes allow the phone to have direct contact with your skin when it's strapped to your arm. Those holes allow perspiration in. I'm not sure why the designers felt it necessary to have these cutouts since the last thing you're going to be doing is taking pictures while this thing is strapped to you arm. This design would also be a problem if you find yourself running outside and get caught in an unexpected rain. I'll be looking for a different product to use for working out.
edit: there was a typo above. I meant to say "was not getting ANY sound from my speaker" - not "in sound" as was stated above. Luckily after drying out my phone the speaker now works again.
Overall this is a good product but it could be better. Use caution if using it while exercising. The company does seem interested in improving their products based on consumer's feedback.

Hey I had been looking for a armband for my generation 7 iPod Nano and I've finally found it. I went through three other armbands with little success mostly with the armband being too short with my 18" biceps. I asked questions on the Amazon Community about folks experience with this armband but they were right and wrong let me explain. Many who answered my question about whether this band would fit my bicep simply measured the band to find it was too short to fit an 18" bicep but they failed to do one thing; This armband STRETCHES making it more than adequate to fit snug and run with confidence!
I love that it does not cover the screen eliminating condensation buildup and sight distortion when sweating. The rubber fits snug and is thick enough to protect the unit should you drop it. Love it but be careful about the answers you get on products not everyone does investigative work!
Disappointed
