I was looking for an armband for my Samsung Blackjack to run with. And this armband was exactly what I needed...

What I liked...
1) Fits the blackjack perfectly and securely (even with side headphone attached)
2) Has velcro holders on sides for wires, etc.
3) Well built, good construction, and well thought out design
4) Neoprene functions well
5) Seems to hold secure on my arm/bicep.

What can be improved...
1) Maybe if it was completely waterproof, I could use it for kayaking too.
2) If it had a clasping mechanism I wouldn't have to slide it onto my arm. Not sure if this would compromise how securely it fits on my bicep.
3) Being an armband design makes it difficult to control phone functions while on my bicep. (I think all armbands would have this same problem. But being able to choose which way to orient the phone helps alleviate this problem)

I would definitely recommend this for someone with a similar sized device and is looking to run with it.

This product fit my Moto Q9h Global with the extended battery. Please note that if use a bluetooth headset with your phone, this product is perfect. if you need to connect wired headphones, and you require that funky dongle, you might have some issues. because this product is almost entirely made of neoprene, I am able to make it work by putting the phone in the pocket, right side up, then streeeetching one of the bottom openings and then connect the dongle to the phone. but it works great! Judging by my phones size, if you have a smaller phone, it will work fine, and when you tighten the band around your arm, it will gently squeeze the phone against your arm and it felt very comfortable and safe.

Please note, that this is a pocket design. That means there is an opening at the top of the pocket. Water can enter this very easily. you must be careful if you will be running in the rain or snow. other than that, it is an outstanding product. if you need something to hold your smartphone at the gym or during fairweather jogging, this is great!

I am a gym rat, so I'm always working out. This is the only thing I could find for my blackberry curve. The stitching is coming out slowly. They could've designed it better, but there really is nothing out there for the curve that's light, affordable, and easy to clean. It really could be better though. I love Tunebelt products. I just wish it was designed for the BB Curve and not made to be universal. Some of us hate i-anything!!

My Blackberry Pearl fits perfectly inside the case, and when used with my MOTOROLA 98801 MOTOROLA 98801 MOTOROKR S9 BLUETOOTH STEREO HEADPHONES it is the best workout companion i have ever had
