Customer Review: Not perfect, but a workable armband carrier for iPhone
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used this armband for a few long bike rides now. It's not perfect though it's probably one of the few readily available products of its kind for the iPhone.
Here's how the F8Z170-KG Sports Armband breaks down:
PROS:
- Nice fit for the iPhone and easy to get in place
- Fairly water resistant, I got caught in light rain and it had no problem
- Fits fairly tight for about 30 minutes
- The touch screen works just fine through the cover, surprisingly
- Has a professional, clean feel and appearance
- Construction is on the high end side, with a metal (not plastic) buckle and quality screen cover
CONS:
- Very hard to get back out easily, though some would call this a "feature" for running
- As a result, can't take easily pictures with it in place since the shot is usually gone after you extract the phone
- Begins to slip down with extended use, often ends up in crook of elbow, after half an hour or so (fibers seem to get relaxed, tighten and wait 30 minutes, rinse, repeat)
- Does not support reverse usage well (so you can read the screen by raising your arm a little) since the headphone plug can't be put in
- Hard to wear with short sleeves since they ride up and then push down the armband
It's not perfect but many will find it more than adequate for light duty use. Would probably buy again.
