5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Five Cases I've Used, March 13, 2009

This review is from: Tuneband, Grantwood Technology's Armband, Silicone Skin, and Screen Protector for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, RED (Wireless Phone Accessory)

(The Tuneband reivew is in the last two paragraphs.) I've been through five cases so far. I also used the iPhone "naked" for a while, but that ended when I dropped it and got a crack in the glass above the screen between the edge and the earphone hole. Sob story aside here's what I've used:

My first case was a black rubber Griffin case that would catch sand and grit and scratched and scuffed the chrome bezel.

Second case was some cheap black silicone case I got off of eBay. It was thin and had an unattractive oval over the earphone.

My third case was a black "rubberized" plastic case by Seido called the InnoCase. It lasted pretty long and looked very good, but the little snaps between the front and back pieces wore out and broke over time. You have to pry the two halves apart when you want to open the case so breaking those snaps is inevitable. Plus it popped completely open when I dropped the phone one time, though to its credit it did somehow prevent damage to the phone.

To replace the Seido I picked up the Marware Sport Grip which to be fair is a very reliable case, but it's ugly. It has a ribbed back which is really unnecessary, the rubber grips fine by itself. The Marware logo on the back is cut deep into the rubber so it collects lint. The rubber over the shutter button is thick and doesn't always line up with the button. The rubber around the screen has a raised edge and comes up against the screen so close that it makes it difficult to touch anything near the bottom. And the hole over the mute switch is too small, so you have to dig your fingernail into the hole to hit it.

So along with my dissatisfaction with the Sport Grip and my decision to pick up an armband I looked around and finally decided on the Grantwood Tuneband. The red one I bought looks very very cool against the black of the iPhone. Weirdly it fits both the iPhone 2G and 3G. I've only had it for just over a week and this is the most satisfied I've been with a case. It's thin and unobtrusive yet tough. When you hold it it feels like plastic but you can bend it easily to get your phone in and out. The case comes right up to the edge of the screen but leaves the home button uncovered so you don't have to lift your thumb to hit it. And the armband slips in an out through two slits on the back with ease. Plus it straps and velcros around my meaty (ok flabby, I'm modest) bicep with ease. The only criticism I have is there are two holes above the screen that aren't necessary, but maybe they're meant for sensors on the 3G I'm not aware of.

If you're trying to decide on an armband get this one, it's the best in form and function. That's my 2¢.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Good Design....Not Well Implemented, September 4, 2009

This review is from: Tuneband for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS (not for iPhone 4, see description below), Grantwood Technology's Armband, Silicone Skin, and Screen Protector, Assorted Colors (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I bought this armband to run and workout with. I have an iphone 3GS and I purchased the "new updated design". The pros and cons are as follows.

Pros: The device has a good design. The arm band can be removed and the silicone sleeve used for everyday protection. The arm band itself is sturdy and it works well for working out and running.

Cons: The major con is the silicone sleeve itself. In a word it is thin, flimsy, and does not have a tight fit. Basically it feels like the iPhone wallows around in the sleeve. The sides of the sleeve are extremely lax and flop away from the edges of the screen. Also the silicone is very thin and likely would not provide much protection. When I purchased this sleeve I thought it would have the thicker more rigid and tighter fitting type of silicone. As is I do not feel like my phone is well protected and will have to buy something else.

Addendum: Although the above statements remain correct, The company Grantwood Technology issued me a refund. I am shocked (pleasantly) by the customer service this company displayed. You really don't see this level of customer service/satisfaction anymore. Even though the armband does not work for me I would have no problem buying a different product from them based on this experience. An overall standout company.

In reply to the comment below, wallow refers to the laxity of fit of the silicone sleeve. The case has enough slack and the silicone is thin enough such that the iphone can actually slide up and down and side to side exposing the unprotected edges. If the sleeve was thicker and more rigid as some silicone sleeves I have seen on my friends' phones are it would be perfect. With that modification and the added benefit of the armband I would buy this product over others in a heartbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, July 9, 2009

A Curious Student (Washington, DC, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tuneband for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS (not for iPhone 4, see description below), Grantwood Technology's Armband, Silicone Skin, and Screen Protector, Assorted Colors (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I bought Tuneband intending to get a case for both everyday use and workouts. Initially I was disappointed that I have to pull the iPhone out of the case to attach and detach the band, and the case wasn't that convenient for everyday use. Then I realized that it probably wasn't the intention of the designers. I bought another case (Otter Box) for daily use and guess what -- my phone with a case on it fits into the resinous Tuneband and this combination works perfectly for me! Before I go to a workout, I just pop the phone into the Tuneband, and I pull it out when I am done. The armband is great. Very pleased with the product, price was great -- I love it.
