E Tronic Edge Phone Holder for Running, Cell Phone Arm Bands with Reflective Logo, Phone Strap Armband Fits iPhone and Android, Use for Running, Walking, Hiking and Biking, Black, XL

The armband is great for holding my phone, ID, $$ and even doggie bags. The band (if you get the right size) stays put on an adventure. The only thing I don’t like about it is the pulley for the zipper comes off and then opening and closing it isn’t as easy. Also, since I use mine for hiking and dog walking, trying to get it open to get one of those bags out takes a bit of time and effort. Still worth it when you don’t have pockets.

Bought this so I could listen to my music while running. It does that very well. My Android phone fits into the pocket securely and the armband stays in place. There is no place for keys nor ID unless you try to cram them in with the phone – I am not going to do that. But being able to hear my music comfortably while running is a huge plus. Recommend.

Runs small. I tried medium, but it wouldn’t slide past my elbow. I tried large, but it was still a bit too tight. This is not the type of armband that allows for easy access to your phone, nor easily placing your phone back whilst wearing. Whenever you need to remove or place items into the armband, it cannot be on your arm. You have to be holding it in your hands like a purse or wallet. Then, you can slide it back on. You cannot use the zipper freely while the armband is on your arm. You might be able to open the zipper while wearing it, but it is impossible to close it.

I haven’t ran with it yet. I wanted to wear it on my forearm (should have got a small) rather than the top part of my arm but the Medium I think is try to size. I think the material is going to be perfect for my humid weather and won’t irritate me.

This is the third one of these I bought. I lost the first one, and the zipper on the second one locked up, causing me to have to put a slit into it. That worked for a while, then I lost that one too : )
Lisa always says I’d forget my own name if it weren’t written in my underwear.
Anyway, I was surprised at how tight it was brand new. It was kind of hard to get over my arm, and I’m no body builder. The big plus with this is that it will fit my Samsung S22 with an otter box on it. Most of the ones I tried would hold the big phone, but not with the case. It does a good job wicking the moisture away.
Given the price, I can confidently recommend this.

Great value

What I ordered: Blue size Medium. I am 5’10” /160 lbs. Circumference when arm is at 90 degree angle (position when running) is 30 cm. My phone is on the larger size- 17cm x8cm.

How the phone fits- The zipper opening is large and it is not difficult to put my phone in and zip it up.
I do not have trouble getting the sleeve (with phone in) into position for my run. The phone does not jiggle around and it does not slip from where I put it at the start. I cannot stand it when halfway through my run the phone starts moving around. This does not happen with this armband.

I thought it was too tight for the first run, but now it fits just right. It is snug but not cutting off my arm’s circulation.

Things that you may not like but do not bother me- you do not have access to your touchscreen while using the sleeve, but I would not expect to since by design it is all cloth and not see through. The only thing I would want to change would be the volume or the song I was listening to and I can adjust those things with my headphones.
The sleeve does get sweaty but I have no idea how one could possibly expect it not to get sweaty.
The only other thing that might bother some people is that after your run (if you got sweaty) you can’t really take off the sleeve if your phone is still in it. It is just too difficult. You just have to be careful not to let your phone drop out when you get it out of the sleeve. Then it is easy to get the sleeve off.

For the price- it was what I needed, especially since I was having a difficult time finding something that would accommodate my larger phone.

Here’s the deal: the confusion surrounding the sizing of this band is insane. I sat on buying this for a few days because I couldn’t get a clear answer on what size I needed; My upper arm is 12″. The size chart photo shows that to be a Medium. Great! But wait, the seller responded to someone’s comment saying 12″ needs a large. OK. Then someone else with a 12″ arm says they went medium, and they along with 20 other reviewers say to order a size down from what you think you need. What?

My arm measures as follows: 12″ above the bicep, 13″ (and growing, baby!) at the center of the bicep, and 11″ below the bicep. You don’t want this band right up in your armpit, and you don’t want it chafing your inner-elbow, so that area surrounding the bicep is the sweet spot.

So based on that 12-13″ measurment I ordered a Medium per the size chart image, which the seller tells me is THE correct way to judge. The band arrived 2 hours before I was set to run a public 5k race, so it got an immediate test drive. Firstly, the material feels great, it isn’t itchy or uncomfortable but it DOES soak up sweat and B.O. like nobody’s business, so be ready for a lot of washing. However, the actual issue came when within a couple minutes my arm was feeling tingly and like it was falling asleep. The band wasn’t uncomfortably TIGHT, just snug enough to cut off blood. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Alpha, which is thinner than all newer models of Galaxy and iPhone, so it’s not as if the bulk was pressing into my arm.

So I contacted the seller afterwards and explained my issue, and ended up with a Large in my hands a few days later. I believe the Large is supposed to start at about 13.75″, but it just seemed like the Medium was too snug to be comfortable or good for my circulation. You’ll see in my photo that the Large is a full inch wider than the Medium (1/2″ when laid flat), and that’s where *I* am running into trouble: having run with the large now it’s clear that it’s just slightly too BIG. If the large was literally a half inch bigger than the Med rather than a full inch then it would be perfect. So with my current 12-13-11 arms, I’m in a grey area. Luckily my goal is to beef up a little, so I’m hoping that in a couple months the Large will fit me just right. Regardless, it’s still disappointing that I can’t really comfortably use either size now.

The seller is well deserving of 5 stars; their customer service and followthrough is outstanding, and they make a great product. Yes, I would be a lot happier if that Large was a half-inch smaller, but the reality is this arm band has no straps or pullstrings or anything: it’s not designed to be customized in that way. So yes, a little disappointed in that sizing no man’s land, and I’d be interested to know if the same 1″ gap exists between the Small and Medium. Just be aware of your exact arm measurments, trust the size chart over the wildly-fluctuating reviews (except for mine of course, I always speak the truth whereas the statue across from me always lies), and buy with confidence knowing that the seller will 100% work with you to make things right if in fact you are unhappy or run into similar size problems.
