Hey, I was wondering if anyone had some first-hand feedback in regards to armbands to use while running. I've seen some cheap ones on Amazon, I was wondering if anyone had more information on one they have/use/etc. THANKS!!!

I purchased the "HTC EVO 4G Armband / Arm Band by iArmbands" from amazon (can't post outside links yet) some time ago before there were any options specifically for the E4GT and have actually been quite pleased with it. I had to cut off the top flap on the back because the phone is a bit too long to fit in with it.
The phone fits quite snugly and the screen works very well through the cover. I've run through some heavy sprinklers with this and it does pretty well, though most recently it did let enough water in to mess with the battery a little (they were some very serious sprinklers). It's also comfortable enough to wear for a few hours. All in all, it works surprisingly well considering it isn't even designed for our phone.

Need a case for running and working out. Need it to hold to my pants line well and need access to the headphone jack. In the past I found the leather cases worked well. Any suggestions? Would love to find one on amazon with prime shipping.

In for looking to see what someone posts. Looking for one as well. (Armband over beltline, though)
I just received this one that I ordered from Amazon.

Quality of build doesn't seem bad. However, I have the Seido Innocase II on my EVO and I may have to take the case off to get the EVO in. Also, the arm band may seem a little short if you have normal to bigger arms (I'm way on the "normal" size). When I put it on, it was a bit snug.
I'm going to try it out at the gym tomorrow morning and I'll post a follow up on my impressions/comments later.
here you go, had to look through my posts to find the thread

Don't get a belt. It is clunky for running and is pretty dorky (obviously that is a very subjective point).
I got this armband:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZJGZ8O/ref=oss_product
It works very well. I like it. Your Evo has to be nude, however.
100 percent agree....... it is very subjective personally i plan on getting this as you can pair it with some jaybird's and have it under your t-shirt/etc. also it allows to carry more than just the phone etc. that one i linked is running specific belt and all reviews in that thread state is doesn't move at all. Plus your more than likely going to get a better fit with a belt than an arm bad, small and big arms usually get the raw end of the stick

Which product did you order?
Hi guys, I didn't find a review on an armband specific to our phones so I figured I'd pick one up and review it. This armband from eBay isn't specific to our phones, but works great.
It fits nearly perfect, just the speaker hole is in a different area but you still hear it through the material. Build quality and material is actually pretty good and I'm very happy with the purchase. Fitment is great very comfortable. Touchscreen works perfectly If you guys are interested, checkout the video and if you're interested you can click to go to the youtube page where you'll find more information regarding where I picked it up. Hope some of you find this helpful!
For those of you who are interested, I have provided the link to the seller below:

Again, i'm not endorsed or sponsored in anyway. I bought it myself and just wanted to share my experience with you guys.

That's rather odd, it seems to load on my computer (using google chrome).. please try again and let me know if it's still not working.
Seems to work fine here.
Nice video and review. The seller does not seem to sell the armband anymore though, I checked his store...

how is the velcro? does it stay on pretty well? The ones I've owned never really stay on my arm well.
Thank you for sharing. I'm going to start running soon and this is exactly what I need.

In all honesty i'm not quite so sure, it seems to do just fine on my arm but as with all armbands it may eventually begin to slide down your arm due to gravity and movement from running.

I hope it suits your needs!
::follow up::
finally had a chance to do some more jogging with this and it holds place on my arm quite well, the band is a bit stiffer on my arm but it surprisingly does not slide down my arm at all. Jogged about 4 miles straight and it's doing a great job so far.
I decided to pick one up after seeing the video. It's a pretty decent arm band that seems well constructed. Phone slides in and out pretty easily and it stays pretty secure around my arm during my runs. Unless you have really scrawny arms, you shouldn't have a problem with the fit of the arm band.
Since it's made from neoprene, it's going to get pretty hot and sweaty underneath after a while, especially if you're doing anything aerobic. It's a good idea to take it off after your workout and lay it out to dry off. Probably wouldn't hurt to toss it into the laundry every now and then so it doesn't get too stinky.
The combined weight of the phone and armband isn't too bad, but I find it's noticeable when I'm running. I'm probably going to alternate wearing it on each arm for my runs.
Despite the speaker cut out being on the opposite side, sounds the phone makes are still pretty audible even at half volume
i have a nexus s running ics, however, with 2.3 and 4.0, the nexus s has always had a problem when plugged in via usb, the display would become unresponsive.
does the gnex have this issue at all?
i ordered the incipio ngp case and an xoskin, however, i really don't think i will be happy with the case. i don't like buttons to be covered, but, i need something that will provide a decent amount of protection. i scoured the accessory FAQ and watched all the videos, but, didn't see anything i liked. the reason i bought the gnex was because my focus s shattered when i dropped it. need to protect this one as much as possible or else my wife will shatter me, since i spent our vacation money on a new phone (shh, don't tell her that, lol).
i go to the gym about 3-4 times per week, so i need some sort of holder for it there, not really a fan of the armband thing i see people wearing, but if anyone knows of something decent, i'd appreciate it.
oh, and insurance, what's a cheap way to insure this thing?
I got my device two weeks ago. I'm looking for a good Opo armband for gym.
I've seen very few and they all seem very cheap.
This is the best I've found:

I actually have the same one.
The OnePlus One fits rather snuggly; however, the headphne jack is on the wrong side. At least the one I got.

I don't own any that's why I'm asking for advice before buying.. Options seem so bad and limited.
Nobody can help ?

This is the best one that i found to be better than those that have the plastic covers on the armband to hold the phone in place. I have a case on it and still does a good job, but if you have big arms you do need the extender as this is made for women and men with smaller biceps.
This is the best I have tried, fits perfectly and feels good quality, though the audio-jack hole doesn't match, but it's easy to solve by doing another hole

over the last 5 years or so using note's i have always used the same model case. I just got a oneplus 2 from a friend (i don't think i will ever own anything else again, even for an older phone it's amazing) anyway.. i am trying to find a thin case, with a kickstand that works vertically (for reading)
This is the case i usually is this one.

Which i totally love, but i haven't been able to find anything like it.. Does anyone have a recommendation?
P.S. just ended up ordering a cheap junk case off amazon.. ah well
