The plastic cover came loose from the leather after owning this for less than two months during which it was probably not used more than a dozen times. I sweat hard, and it got wet regularly, but it still seems it should lasted longer than it did. Also, the plastic tends to adhere to the glass front of the iPhone, making it aggravating to remove sometimes. I cannot recommend this product, although I've so far been unable to find one I can. The last Belkin one I had (a different model) lasted a year before the metal clip broke.

This armband does have one good design feature. It has two different slots to put the end through, dramatically increasing the range of arm sizes it can handle. Only if you are at the extreme ends of the range of human arms would you have a problem with it not fitting.

I picked this armband for mulitple reasons. Mainly because there are zero armbands on the market for Blackberries. This one was perfect due to it's wide open plastic screen and especially the arm band. The right arm band is essential. Because you dont want an armband that will warp, come apart or have one side of the armband bunch up and pinch your arm. This band doesn't let that happen. Now onto the good part. I was able to fit my Blackberry 8830 World Edition into the armband without a problem. I don't need an iPod when my Blackberry can do it all, yes even music. Especially now that RIM (Blackberry) has a free program called Media Sync that will sync your Blackberry to your iTunes playlists. It's soooooo easy. Now, back to the armband. I also modified the front plastic screen to accomadate the trackball on the phone. Placed my phone in the armband, outlined a circle around the track ball, removed the phone. Slipped in some cardboard, so that I don't cut through the neoprene of the back of the armband. I also had to make a small cut to get my headphone jack plugged in. Onced completed, it was perfect. I haven't had any issues with it. I take it to the gym daily and I have no problems with pressing any keys or use of my trackball. With alittle modifacations, you to can own your very own Blackberry ArmBand. Italia247 out.

works just as advertised, holds my 1st generation iphone snug and secure while I run, have no problem controlling the phone with it in the case.
very happy.

As user above stated the plastic screen cover pulls away from the edges of the actual case......armband works well if it would hold together. Came apart within a week of use at the gym. I will add that it will fit almost anyone's arm, it fits mine tightly even through my workout, so it expands to at least 17". Basically just confirming everything said above
