Gyminee Groups → iPhone Users → iPhone3G Armband reviews Whos using what

Subject Description

I'm shopping around for an Armband and have found about 5 different online. Who's using what and which should I buy? I currently have an acrylic casr from Exo which is great and am happy to keep using that day to day, just that while at the gym on my own, the iPhone in an armbad would be great. BTW! taking or making calls while in the gym on the gym floor is a No No I believe!

Armband

I'm using the dlo action jacket.

I've used their armband for the mini and nano and dropped them numerous times without problems, so i think the padding they use will keep my iphone safe.

Also their armband is elastic, so it will fit those who have big arms as well.

thanks for the info guys!

I bought myself the Extreme Mac and it just about gets around my arm but i'm pretty sure it'll be secure. What I like is that its black and blends in with the phone which lies flat on my arm so it does not scream out I've got an iPhone on my arm. My gym actually has waterbottle holders built in to the cardio equipment and I have found that I prefer to leave the iphone wrapped up in the armband and left in the holder, but it'll come in handy for outdoor activities. I am a bit wary about using it while doing preachers as it may pop off my arm as its on the last velcro tabs, but whats good is that the band is only slightly stretchy so there would be no chance of it flying across the room. My arms are 18.5 flexed altho I'm 5'7 and am pretty sure this band is just right. Thanks Jgreg65!

Belkin Black/Gray Armband

I bought a few armbands, nothing worked too well. Especially the new belkin (blue color) that is sold through apple/at&t. Finally I settled for the older  black color armband from Belkin for the ipod touch.

 

I will give the extreme mac a shot too. Thanks for the info :)

I am using the iPhone one from www.iarmband.com  It's not too bad thus far.  Not fantastic, but good enough.
