Product Description

The TuneBand for iPhone 4/4S provides a comfortable way to wear your device while running, working out, working in the yard, or walking around the block. It features a protective silicone skin that allows access to all ports and buttons (including the front and rear cameras), and a soft, elastic strap that fits most arms. We also include screen protectors that cover the front *and* back of the iPhone.

NOTE: This TuneBand is designed to work with a bare iPhone 4/4S *only*. Some customers have reported success installing our silicone skin over their existing iPhone cases, but this use is unsupported by us. Also, if the included elastic strap is either too long or too short, then please contact us at support [at] grantwoodtechnology [dot] com to arrange a replacement strap. We also mention this in the included thank-you card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Running September 12, 2010

By Melissa P

I received the TuneBand and thought the instructions very clear. Once the iPhone 4 was inserted in the case, it felt very secure. I also thought the case looked nice enough that I removed the strap and kept the phone in it for the rest of the day. The strap fit me well and I was impressed to see that the company can provide a longer or short strap if required.

Initially I placed the device on the side of my upper arm but then shifted it to the front of my upper arm to give the GPS better view of the sky. I also started with the device strapped around my shirt sleeve. Eventually I attached the device directly to my upper arm and covered the device with my sleeve. I don't think any of these changes really affected the quality of the GPS signal. I'd definitely recommend attaching the strap directly to your arm and not over the shirt.

As for the performance of the device, it couldn't be better. I've logged about 75 miles running over the past couple weeks and I've been very comfortable wearing the device. Once I attached the strap directly to my arm, it hasn't slid around or down at all and I've not worried that my phone would slip out or off my arm.

I'd definitely order one again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesomeness April 3, 2011

Overall Use:
Ran with this for about 1 month several times a week. Works great. The screen is exposed which is what I liked the most...I hate having to fiddle with plastic coverings. Even the home button is open so you can touch the actual button...sweet.

Size/Fitting:
Perfect Velcro strap for all sizes. My wife has used this as well with much smaller arms. I have an above average sized arm (as long as I am going to the gym regularly) and it still works great. In the package it says that if the band doesn't fit they will send another one to match your arm size...that's what I call service-but it should fit unless your 40lbs or on steroids.

Sweat/Moisture:
None, I sweat like a crazy person sometimes and I never had issues or sweat get on the phone.

Material Strength:
Soft and flexible yet very strong. I have been running pretty hard at times with this arm band and never experienced issues. It holds the phone secure, very well. I don't even worry about the phone falling out.

Cons:
None, UNLESS you prefer to run in the pooring rain. It has an open design on the face so this is not advised. Someone advised using this case as your primary case on another review however thats just dumb, dont be cheap - leave this one for running/walking/swimming. j/k about swimming.

2.0 out of 5 stars UPDATED Good first couple of times then lots of chaffing April 28, 2011

Unfortunately this didn't work out for me - while running for longer than 1/2 hour at a time I experienced really bad chaffing/blisters where the band attached on my arm - it did this whether I put it over clothing or directly on my arm. This product is not for me. A week later, I still have a sore, blistered spot on my arm that is so painful. Was not impressed with the fit on my iPhone either - not that great.

Update - I've been using it on my wrist recently and that works better for me. However, I just wanted to mention that this company contacted me immediately after writing the above to offer a refund. So GREAT customer service - very impressed by the seller - highly recommended as they really seem to care about their customers and whether they are happy with the product or not.
