I've been searching for an armband to hold my iPhone 4 for quite a while. Nothing out there seems perfect. There is quite an assortment of stuff out there; some are only a couple dollars while others are pushing 50 bucks. I didn't want to spend that little or that much so I settled on this Belkin Dualfit armband.
It's made of a very light-weight neoprene and is quite flexible. It does not get stiff in cold weather. The case is very form-fitting and will not fit an iPhone with a case. You'll have to remove your iPhone case first before putting it in the armband. You could force it in with the case on but you'll likely rip the neoprene which would destroy the armband essentially. As you slide the iPhone into the case, you may experience the plastic window of the armband sticking to the iPhone screen which means you have to finesse it into the case since it sticks as it's going in. The same stickiness is present when you remove the iPhone from the case.
The armband has two slots that the velcro band fits through. You pick the slot that gives you the best fit, the closest slot is for thin arms, the second slot is for larger arms. You don't put the strap through both slots, choose one or the other.
There is a little pouch on the armband that I suspect is for holding a key or maybe for jamming excess headphone cable into to prevent the cable from flopping around. Since the Belkin website and description on Amazon makes no mention of this, you'll have to decide for yourself what its purpose is.
It's an OK armband for the iPhone. It does offer a small amount of water repellency although it is by no means waterproof. Rain can easily get in through either the heaphone opening or the top sides of the case. It will afford some degree of rain protection but it's definitely not waterproof.
I don't feel that this is the "ultimate" iPhone armband case for the iPhone but it is reasonably priced, carries a 1-year warranty and is made by a reputable manufacturer unlike the couple of dollar cases that are also available on Amazon. So for me, it works OK but I'm still keeping my eyes open for something a little better.
My wife did mention that when running with mittens or gloves, the iPhone may not register your touch through the armband window. I had no problems with that with bare hands however. It was easy to use screen gestures to use the iPhone for me.
One other point is that the speakers on the iPhone are fully covered by the armband case so if you are not a headphone user but use apps like "Couch to 5k" or some other app that is giving you voice prompts and/or playing music, you will find the volume greatly diminished because of the armband case. Of course if you're wearing headphones it's not an issue.
PROS:
It's very lightweight and flexible. Feels comfortable on the arm.
You are able to control the screen with gestures with your finger.
CONS:
Won't fit over an iPhone in a case.
Is definitely not waterproof just water resistant.
The button is stiff and the iPhone doesn't always recognize that you've pushed it.
UPDATE: 4/9/2012 - I have not been using this armband quite as much as I thought I would but even with that in mind I have noticed that the window has become quite cloudy. It is no longer perfectly clear but now has a somewhat milky, cloudiness to it. I presume this is due to sliding the iPhone in and out of the case. IT's still useable but the clarity of the window is somewhat diminished.
UPDATE: 5/27/2012 - I have posted two images in the customer gallery showing the cloudiness.

I wanted something to hold my iPhone 4 when I take the dogs for a walk/run. I've never used such a contraption before and my other half purchased the Belkin DualFit armband, so I've been trying it out.
The Belkin DualFit armband, weighing 1.5 ounces, is a simple lightweight device used to store an iphone on your arm. The hand washable armband is sized by a Velcro strap and two slots. A larger enclosure holds the iPhone securely in place and fully covered. A clear plastic sheet encircled by a reflective strip protects the front of the iPhone while allowing the user to see and use the encased iPhone. A small pocket next to the larger water resistant enclosure is large enough to hold a house key or excess earphone wire.
There seems to be confusion about how to use the DualFit armband. When I first saw the armband, I thought I was to thread the strap through the inner slot, and loop it back through the outer slot. This just seems logical; however this method will size the armband between 9 to 11 inches. For larger arms, one should thread through the outer slot (as shown in the product image) which allows sizing between 11 and 15 inches. My initial confusion and comments from others indicates Belkin does a poor job of explaining how their product works.
The iPhone 4 fits in the DualFit's larger enclosure, but doesn't fit snugly. This is more of a visual issue than anything else. The iPhone4 is still protected from the weather, and fully functional.
I haven't bought my own armband yet, as sharing hasn't been a problem for us. When it becomes a problem, I will definitely consider purchasing this armband. If your looking for a weather resistant lightweight armband, the Belkin DualFit armband is worthy of consideration.
PROS:
Extra small pocket
Two slots for the perfect fit
Water resistant and lightweight
Comfortably fit up to a 15 inch arm
CONS:
Poor description and instructions
Fit for the iPhone 4 is a little sloppy

I had high hopes for the Belkin Dual Fit Armband, but unfortunately the actual product fails to live up to my expectations. I was looking for a easy to use, comfortable armband that allowed me to use my interval running program on my iPhone as I begin my training regimen. Unfortunately, the only thing this product has going for it is that it is indeed comfortable, but using it is far from ideal. The issue is two fold and primarily lies in its design. I was disappointed when I first placed my iPhone 4 into the holder that the plastic screen cover wouldn't lay flat against my iPhone's glass screen, leading me to have to press 2-3x harder than normal to register nearly any press. Combined with the extra layer of glare the plastic screen cover added, it didn't matter if I couldn't press anything because I could barely see what i was trying to press. Only when i got back inside was I able to see anything useful on my screen. Unfortunately, no matter how comfortable this armband is (and indeed - it really is comfortable), if its not usable when its in the case theres really no way I can recommend this. I was able to take my iPhone in and out of the case fairly easily, for those concerned about how tight of a fit it was. I give it 2 stars for its comfort, but thats about its only redeeming quality.
Pros:
+ Comfortable
Cons:
- Poor fit/finish (Plastic screen protector inhibits iPhone screen usage)
- Additional layer of glare to content with in outdoor conditions

Gotta be something better but ok for now
