Product Description

This lightweight and comfortable armband was designed for the iPhone 3G and 3GS but also works really well for iPhone 4 / 4S and many other smartphones some of which are listed below. It really is the ultimate sports armband providing unmatched comfort, convenience and protection while you run, workout or listen on the go.

The low profile, neoprene armband is stable and secure so it will not bounce. It maximizes comfort with a design that helps keep the back of the case laying flat against your arm so it is not lumpy. Your arm actually pushes the device into the case which is way more comfortable then the case pushing the device into your arm.

To provide as much protection as possible during your workout rigors, the top entrance is covered while openings in the bottom provide vital access points. Other features include: a versatile design that holds most devices right side up, or upside down to read the screen easier when viewed on the arm; a clear, protective window cover with full navigational control; and a flap to securely store and manage the earphone cord.

The armband is washable, includes a reflective logo and adjusts from 9" to 17". For larger arm sizes, see EX3 Armband Extender (sold separately) which increases the maximum arm size by 6.5 inches.

Some other devices that fit: Blackberry Bold, Curve, Storm & Tour; HTC Hero & Magic; iPhone 4, 2G and 1G: Palm Pre; T-Mobile Dash & myTouch 3G.

Does NOT fit phones over 4.5" long like HTC EVO 4G or Droid X. Please see model AB83 for these larger phones. For armbands to fit iPhones inside protective cases try AB83 or AB84.

Maximum length: 4.5" - Maximum circumference (2X width plus 2X depth): must be less than 6.5".

Color: Black

This review is from: Tune Belt Sport Armband for iPhone 3GS, 4G and More (Fits iPhone 3G / 2G / 1G, Blackberry Bold / Curve / Storm, Palm Pre and many more) (Electronics)

Update: on longer runs, I do get some sweat leaking through the back of the case. Personally I find it unfortunate rather than a serious detriment since it's never too bad in my case ... but it may be an issue for your use cases.

I spent time both online and in stores trying to find an armband for an iPhone 3GS so I could take it running and make use of the maps and stopwatch when in an unfamiliar city. After reading many reviews, most said it wouldn't stay in place while running or allowed too much sweat to seep through to the device inside. At first I was concerned that this product was for iPhones "and others" or something of the sort, but the fit is snug and it stayed firmly on my upper arm without sliding for two of my weekly (longer) runs. The only downside is that the front plastic doesn't fit completely snugly on the face of the iPhone so if you want to tap the side of the screen you have to get a small slack part of the clear screen out of the way (or take the phone out completely). However, manipulating the 3GS touchscreen through the cover otherwise works well.

Given the quality of all other products I found, I would highly suggest you put this near the top of your list.

This case is comfortable and you can use the touch screen just fine through the thin plastic cover. Fits the Motorola Droid perfectly and you can use the headphone jack on top just fine. I love this case for when I go walking/running using the CardioTrainer app! Definitly would recommend this case to anyone looking for a sports case for the Motorola Droid.

I bought this for my Blackberry Tour, and it is the perfect fit. It isn't too hard to secure, and it's not going anywhere once it's in (be sure to have the opening facing UP when you are running). It seems to form a decent seal and I would even feel confident taking this out in a light drizzle. There's a flap in the corner for headphones so I just turn on Slacker or Pandora and go hit the pavement.
