iPhone 5 Armband for Running, Cycling & Gym Workouts. The Best Fitting Adjustable Arm Band. A Holder of The iPhone 5, 5S, 5C iPhone SE New & iPod Touch (7th Generation) by Apple.

I recently purchased a blue tooth headset for exercising and working outside in the yard. As a result I wanted a case to hold my iPhone 5 that allowed me to move my arms freely and keep the phone protected from dirt, falling out of my pocket, etc. After looking at several arm holders on line and reading the reviews I decided on this one by Red Star Tec. The number one reason was that it was the only one that was completely adjustable for arm size. I am a 98lb. woman with very thin upper arms and wanted a secure fit but also room to adjust based upon what clothing I am wearing-shirt, different weight jackets, etc. I have been using this armband for the last month and it works perfectly. The clear plastic front lets you easily use your phone while in the case. It is also nice to have the hidden slot for a single key in the band. The only drawback, as others, have noted, is that I have to take my phone out of its case to fit the armband. However, since there are so many different size phone cases I don't know how the manufacturer could satisfy allowing different size cases and still maintain a secure fit for all. This case is a great buy for the money. Totally pleased with this purchase!

I was very disappointed in the overall quality of the armband.When it came, the slit for the phone wasn't large enough for the phone. I notified Amazon of the problem, and they said they would give me a credit, but that I could keep the product. So I cut the slit until the phone could fit in. But then the band did not hold my phone in place while I worked out at the gym.

I use the armband for running. I have very thin arms so I tried it on without having my phone (iPhone 5) in it. It was big even though I put it through it the smallest slot. This has always been a problem for me; however, when I put the phone into the band, it tightened it up so it worked very well and did not slide down my arm while running. I can't fault it for this as I am very thin so for everyone else it would not be a problem. It is very lightweight, more so than the previous bands I've owned - which, by the way, I needed to twist the band before attaching it to the velcro so it would be tight enough. The only comments I would make is: 1)the very bottom of the home button is covered by the band but this in no way prevents its use not that you would need to while running and 2) the phone does not fit entirely into the band so that very top of the phone is out. But again I did not find this to be a problem; in fact the phone is very secure in the band. The best feature for me is the fact that it does not add to the weight of the phone.

I am an avid runner and there is nothing more annoying than having an armband that does not fit perfectly. This has enough stretching ability to fit my arm(women's average size) without slipping while running. It is also very comfortable. I was hoping it fit my iPhone 5 with it's life proof case, but it does not. That is not a big deal, but it would be easier to leave the phone in its case while using this. The price is awesome and the seller contacted me when the item was shipped and offered a full money back guarantee if I was not satisfied within 30 days of its arrival. However, after wearing it a few times, I washed it to get the sweat smell out and it started ripping and within a few days of wearing it again, the band totally broke. I was disappointed but I guess it would've lasted longer if I didn't wash it.

Used about a 15 times over a two month period. The seam that held the iPhone carrier to the arm band came undone during a 30 minute run. Obviously a defectively manufactured product. It appears I can no longer return it, so I am a dissatisfied customer.

I run 3.5 miles twice a week. I have used this armband so far 3 times with an iphone 5S.The positive: no extra material, just the minimum needed to hold the phone in place. The best is that the band around the am is neoprene and not thin elastic material that would allow the iphone to swing as you run. Instead it is held tightly in place against your arm with no motion. The phone fit is tight which i view as a positive because it does not move independently as you run. There are two possible slots for the velcro band to go though to accommodate 2 ranges of arm thicknesses, and a slot for a key, which is good for a thin key. My car key did not fit but I slid it between the iphone and the neoprene material and that works too. There are two possible holes on top and bottom for headphones, so there is no up or down for the armband. The plastic cover does not prevent the use of the touch sensitive screen.Things to improve:The most important one: The volume bottoms of the iphone are very hard to push while running. They are quite inaccessible and buried under a thick cover of materialHard to activate the home bottom on the iphone as it sits no quite under the plastic but a bit under the plastic screen and a bit under the material that surrounds the screen.Overall: very satisfied

I use the armband when I go for runs and it's really sturdy and durable and does not slip down when I pump my arms when running. I have an old iPod video that I run with and it's the same size as the iPhone 5 so this armband works great for both! The company Red Star Tec is extremely professional and great to work with. They immediately followed up with my purchase the day after my armband was delivered to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase from them. That kind of customer service is rare these days, but is truly appreciated!

I haven't used it yet, so I can't vouch for its durability. But upon receiving it, the first thing I had to do was use an exact o knife to cut out the clear plastic cover so the i phone buttons could be used while in the case. Did anyone else have this problem?
