Does the job well
I've never owned another armband to compare this to, as I've only recently taken up jogging! However, this seems to work fine. It's well made, with quality materials and good solid stitching, and fairly easy to put on and take off. The touchscreen works fine through the plastic cover, and I've jogged in the rain with no problems. The little gizmo to wrap the headphone cord around to shorten it to a more useable length works well, too, even if it takes you a couple of tries to figure out how to wrap the cable around it without over-bending the cable at the jack lead.
As another reviewer has said, you can't access the volume controls on the side with your iPod/iPhone in this armband, but I use an iPhone with volume controls on the headphone lead, so this isn't a problem for me.
Great for use with runkeeper etc
I bought this to wear my iphone when running, especially for use with the runkeeper app. I have found it excellent over the past couple of months. It fits well over clothes or just your bare arm (although if your arm is thinner than mine it might be a bit loose?..) And works well with the phone, which still responds to touch screen perfectly despite the extra plastic screen. Just add a pair of sports headphones and you're away!
Too big for a small person
If you're small like me then this just looks silly on your arm I'm afraid. Consequently, I haven't used it.
