User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Love it.
Great armband. Much more comfortable than others I’ve owned. Band is very adjustable so would work for about any size arm. I also love the key slot, when I go running I hate carrying my keys.

1 Star Do not buy this product! Cheaply made.
Like many of the other users of this product, I had it for 2 weeks and just like the gentleman in the video review you see, it split along the same side. This product is poorly made and designed.

3 Stars Seems a little flimsy, but…
Haven’t used this much, but so far, so good. It seems a little flimsy, but it’s held up to my minimal usage. It’s also a little difficult to get the phone in and out of the pocket, but that may be a symptom of all arm-band type media holders (I hae always used hip-pack types before).

Outside of that, the phone is fully operational while inside through the clear plastic, and I wore it during a downpour (NOT recommended) and my phone remained completely dry.

1 Star junk
After my first use the glue that holds the plastic screen broke free almost causing my iPhone to fall out. I would go for one with a stitch front screen. the arm band is comfortable and easy to use.

1 Star Awful
The metal band where you insert the strap broke off during my run on the treadmill. Luckily my headphones kept it from flying onto the ground, but it was so unexpected and awkward I about fell off the treadmill when it happened. I do not work out that much, and this thing only lasted about 4 months. It is just poorly made.

1 Star lasted 1 week
Wish I could give it 0 stars. The cover started coming off after about a week of use. I tried to superglue it but it didn’t take.

Other problems: the band is too small, it’s really hard to get the phone in the case, it’s hard to adjust the volume buttons, and it’s ugly.

1 Star Bad and disgusting product
Well… was a very bad idea to bought this armband because the first time when I used the armband broke.. and I never used with my Iphone… well bad chance… but I never to recommended for any body…. its a very bad quality product.

5 Stars Great Item!
This item works perfectly great. Considering its made by Belkin it doesnt phase me about the quality of this product. This item goes with me everytime I go to the gym. Its durable and easy to use. Also the key pocket works wonders!

3 Stars Better than expected
I’ve used this armband for the last 6 months. For an hour, 5-7 days a week I either lift weights or run so it’s gotten a lot of use. If you have a case on your iphone, you’ll probably have to remove it to put it in the armband. My arms are about 16 inches (not huge but have muscle) so it’s almost impossible to strap the armband around my arm. The way I overcome this is to fasten it, slip my arm through, and then adjust it. The plastic screen does become somewhat cloudy after an extended period, but that’s to be expected. It’s just the condensation from your body heat and the air. Just wipe it out if it bothers you. After 6 months of hard use, I’ve had to superglue the velcro back on. I hand wash it fairly infrequently so it does start to develop a bit of an odor, but so do the rest of your workout equipment if you don’t wash them. I plan on buying another when this one finally wears out. It’s lasted longer then my $75 heart rate monitor. The only real annoyance I’ve had is when I have a headphone adapter attached to the phone, the adapter pokes my upper arm. That’s not so bad, but the adapter eventually shorted out. Again, that’s more caused by Apple’s design than the armband.
