So comfy, I forgot I was wearing it!

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016

This I love for two main reasons - 1. It serves as a compression sleeve, and 2. It fits my arm comfortably without squeezing, even with my phone in it.
*Material - It's a bit lighter and thinner than I expected, but for the cost, I can't complain. At first touch, I thought it was going to feel flimsy and cheap, but it actually is pretty well made, and seems durable so far.
*Comfort and Fit - Like I said earlier, it fits really comfortably - no squeezing, no sliding. I ran a mile with it on (phone in) and actually forgot I was wearing it. It didn't feel bulky or extra, and stayed in place the entire time.
*Phone Holding - My phone (a BlackBerry Q10 in a leather case) fit well inside the sleeve, and felt secure as I ran. The case was also dry when I removed it, so I'm gonna say the sweat-resistant claim is true. Not too sure it would offer much (if any) protection against rain, though. [In the attached photo, I placed a Blu smartphone in it, to see if a longer phone would fit comfortably...it did.]
Overall, I'm very impressed with this product, especially considering the price. I would definitely buy another when the time arises.
I'll come back and update my review if anything changes over time, as I've only had this a few days now.

Good but....

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016

Good product and holds the phone for walking, works really well if you have wireless headphones to walk or bike ride tangle free. However, this isn't so great for jogging. My phone popped out several times and hit the ground. Luckily I don't have an Apple product (ahaha!) or else it would have broke. My phone hit the ground and I just picked it up, slid it back in and kept going. But if you have an iPhone, this sleeve could cost you a lot of money since there is nothing to secure your phone inside. It is snug and fits my arm nicely. I am a noodle of a man so the small size fit perfectly, but it needs some type of Velcro strap at the top to keep the phone from bouncing about. If you are walking or Bike riding without a lot of bumps and jumps I think it'll be just fine though.

Perfect for working out

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2013

This is the perfect armband for holding a smartphone while working out. I have a Droid Incredible, my husband has a Samsung Galaxy III and both fit great. It is comfortable on the arm and stays in place. You can use the touchscreen while it is in the sleeve but sometimes it is a little hard to see clearly. The biggest reason we love this is because it fits arms of all sizes due to the stretchy nature of the fabric. S/M works great for females, the larger size for males. My husband has a very large bicep and no other armbands (the kind with the velcro) will fit him. This is the only one that does. Easy to throw in the wash when it gets sweaty as well. Good buy!!!

Good for running, snug for iPhone 4s size gadgets

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

Bought this arm band for my wife. She carries her iPhone in it while running. Fits well and she has not complained about anything. That should be enough of a review...right guys? I liked it because it's washable. The fancier models looked like they would have worked and offered access to the screen while running, but who really fiddles with the pod cast or music section once you start your running. You just need it to be secure. Not sure if the band would keep phone dry in the rain, but you could always just place it in a sandwich bag.

One year later... I have begun to use the arm band while on a road bike. Even after 2 hours and 35+ miles, I don't even notice the band on my arm. In the rain, I place the phone is a sandwich bag. Keeps the phone dry even in a driving rain. Along with the iPhone, I use it to carry my drivers license and some money.

My wife claims I have stretched the band out. So, I've bought her a replacement.

lightweight, stretchy, made for smaller phones and MP3's

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2016

This is a nice sleeve for carrying keys and credit cards, but my phone is way too big to fit- it would be great for small phones, MP3 players, and Ipods. I gave it 4 stars because I do use it as an "extra pocket" to store small items and I've found it useful for that purpose, but I end up holding my phone when I run, which is okay, I'm used to it by now. The sleeve is very light-weight and stretchy, you don't notice you are wearing it. All-in-all, it is economical and useful for my needs.

Different Product than it Used to Be! Beware.

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2023

Verified Purchase

I have been buying this product several times over some years now. They have changed the design now, but are using the same product model number ...its not the same product. A feature it had, that I relied on, was a folded flap on the inside (due to the way it was sewn) would keep contents from spilling out. Saved my bacon a couple times. That feature is gone, and in fact this is a complete redesign, so its just not the same product. Very disappointing.

Very comfortable and holds well

Daughter LOVES to run with it. Very comfortable and stays in place. She has a blue tooth ear buds and has a Moto X (about the size of the iPhone 5) and it fits perfectly. We haven't had to yet, but i imagine we will just throw it in the washing machine with dark clothing and wash on cold, air dry. Looks like it will hold up well. Good price too

Pocket is too small, sleeve slides down

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

This sheath is not what I was expecting. It does fit my scrawny arm but it doesn't fit my phone! Even without a cover my Samsung S5 will not fit into the opening. It's a small pocket! My son also got one for his phone and,while his does fit with a bit of struggling to get it in, he finds that the sleeve slides down as he runs and his phone starts to creep up which could mean it could drop and break. I have no use for mine. I don't know what to put in it. My iPod won't fit either. I thought this was a lightweight, simple solution to carrying my phone when I walk my dog or jog but it didn't work out for me. Others have had success so it's worth trying but, if your phone is on the larger side, it probably won't fit. And definitely not with a case on it. I am using a bulkier but more protective arm band for my phone now and I don't use this sleeve for anything.... Disappointing.

Not really good for modern phones. Good for cards though.

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2021

It slips and slides on my arm.
I have a small phone compared to what's on the market today, and it still pokes out the stop.
Combine the poking and the sliding, and the phone eventually falls out.

It's great for carrying your ID and other important cards though!

Pocket Buddy

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019

This pocket is still a tad bit large for my pod, but doable. I wanted something that did not wrap, as I’m always conscious of those being on and by days end my arm is marked. However, I wear this sleeve on the lower arm facing me. The sleeve is quit comfortable and I have worn it all day. You can use with headphones with out any issues but I prefer Bluetooth. If you are looking for simplicity that works, this is for you.
