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, USA Medium

Color I picked was exactly like the photo, a very pretty turquoise. Tested it out with my phone in it for a 5k and it stood put the whole time and didn't feel bulky or annoying. Zipper is holding up so far, I have slim arms so the small was a good fit for me. It held sweat but the nice thing is since it is all fabric I can chuck it in the wash after running. Solid product that works for my needs, will be taking it on all future runs so I can have my tunes.

Most of what I have to say has been said already, so I'll just highlight a few brief points. For reference, my measurements (mid-bicep) are: Small arm, unflexed: 11.5" Big arm, flexed: 14" Phone: Samsung Note 8, with basic TPU case Per the sizing recommendations on the product page at the time, I was in the range of a Large arm band, based on my arm/phone sizes, so that's what I ordered. The Large felt good when I first tried it on, but slid down into my elbow when I started running. I contacted E Tronic Edge customer service by email, and they immediately responded and sent a Medium arm band. We've had several email exchanges, and their communication has been excellent. The Medium is snug, but it works much better while running. If I could wave my magic wand, I'd make it a *little* bigger around, but I'm not complaining. Note that the replacement band is longer than the original; see photo. Per customer service, they're making all of the sizes longer now, based on customer feedback. I just wanted to clarify that the difference in length isn't due to the nominal size (L vs M), but rather the iteration of the product (old vs new). Overall, this arm band works well. I like it better than my old one, which had a velcro strap and plastic window so you could ostensibly access your phone's touch screen (which never worked well in practice). This fits my large phone better, and is more comfortable, both because of the design and the soft material. That said, strapping a heavy phone to your arm and making it stay put comfortably while hopping up-and-down for miles on end is a difficult problem to solve. Add to that the fact that our shoulders are bigger than our elbows, and you have a recipe for things sliding down your arm as you run. Even this great arm band slides down some on bare skin (and more so over a shirt). Maybe some silicone nubs inside would help? Thicker fabric? I don't know. It's not perfect, but it's definitely beats the other arm bands, belts, hydration packs, clothing pockets, etc. that I've tried. I think the real solution for me is to ditch my phone altogether and get a GPS fitness band. If you have to carry a phone (and key), though, this is a good solution.

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.

UPDATE (4/8/2019): A huge "great job!" to customer service at E Tronic Edge. I sent them feedback and they responded within a couple of hours apologizing for the inconvenience and sent me another unit. Because of how small the medium was and how large my phone is with the case, I went ahead and got the XL. There are still a few issues, but the band works, stays on my arm, and feels great. REASON FOR -1 STAR: The material feels fantastic, is soft, and doesn't get "grime" on it when you sweat and put it to good use. That's a great thing but also has a draw-back. Even with a properly fitting unit, it still tends to slide down my bicep a bit. I actually tried taking thread-and-needle to it and sowing a little taper into the seem and it really is just the material combined with the impact of running. Honestly, if I was doing yard work, lifting weights, or on a machine at the gym, I doubt I'd have any of these issues. As I got this primarily for running, I took a star off due to this issue. REASON FOR ANOTHER -1 STAR: That zipper, man. It's just too small. I actually can get the phone on if I put it in sideways (meaning rotated 90 degrees from how it's suppose to sit). You turn basically get three corners of the phone in the pocket and use the elasticity in the spandex material to "walk it into the pocket" in the correct orientation. Not perfect, but it works. Because it works it doesn't make sense to ding it too much, especially since I'm putting a large device inside, but it is a bit of a hassle. NOT DEDUCTING A STAR, BUT BUYER SHOULD BE AWARE: This is NOT a ding on the product because if you're purchasing this sort of thing you should just be aware of the basic form-function, but just keep in mind that you can't access the screen while it's in a pocket (obviously). That's going to be true of ANY device like this, but since it's so difficult to get the phone in-and-out of the zipper, the inaccessibility to the device is more pronounced if I happen to get a call while out for a run. If you had an iWatch or something like that, this probably wouldn't be an issue. Overall, still pretty happy with the product. Worth the buy. ===ORIGINAL REVIEW, BELOW=== I got my phone armband today and the material and quality seems extremely good. The zipper is smooth and I suspect it will last quite a while. Unfortunately, the unit is incredibly small. As an engineer, I tend to get a bit obsessive over measurements so I measured my arm at 13 inches at its widest. When I got the sleeve, the inside dimension appeared only 9” which would mean the material would need to “grow” an additional 5”. It definitely does not. It’s worth noting that my phone definitely does not fit in this sleeve (iPhone 8+), but due to the unit not even fitting around my arm it’s a bit of a non-issue. Reviews for customer service appear to be outstanding, so I will update this review as I get the issue resolved. The quality is great and the material is very comfortable, so I hope things work out. Just be aware that you may need to “go up a size” when ordering. I’m even considering going up two sizes due to the extreme degree to which the sizing was off.

I run an average of 50 miles a week and have been through a handful of cell-phone and/or keys carrying devices: a velcro armband, a running pouch, and now this arm sleeve. This arm sleeve is by far the best product I have used. Its simple and secure enough that you put your phone in, along with keys, credit cards, money, transportation pass, etc., and not have to worry about a thing falling out during a run. Its also effective against chafing, which I did not find when I used a velcro armband. Size wise I have a 12" arm and ordered the Large size. After using this for a handful of weeks I noticed the arm sleeve would slide toward my elbow, which having to readjust numerous times on a run caused a great annoyance. I read the reviews here and thought by emailing customer service with what I've experienced despite having numerous weeks to try the product, they would see my point and allow for an exchange. Not only was this company willing to send me a new arm sleeve (size Medium this time), they insisted I keep the old arm sleeve and give to a friend. What a cool company! Recently I ran a marathon with this arm sleeve (Medium size). Not once did I have to stop and readjust my armband. It stayed in place the entire time without any indications of chafing or discomfort. For this and how the company stands by their products I cannot justify more ordering an arm sleeve from them. My advice - order a size 1" smaller than an arm. Since my arm is 12" and technically I fall under Large, the Medium size turned out to be ideal :)

So far I'm very pleased. My biceps measured 10.5" just near the top of the medium size chart range. Since many people said it ran small, I was afraid I might need a large, but the manufacturer's warning that it would be worse to have it slide down over the elbow convinced me, so I trusted the chart. Although the material is stretchy, it only stretches a tiny bit, so size is important. At the gym I barely noticed it. Running, at first it slid down to the crook of my elbow and kind of bounced, but then I tugged it back up as high as I could and it stayed fine for the rest of the 4-mile run. It felt a little funny for about a mile, but then I got used to it and forgot I even had it on. I only needed something to keep my phone with me. I don't use it while running or working out. I just don't want to leave it in the car. If you need to be using yours, i.e. watching or touching the screen, this one is not for you although I think you can run a cord to ear buds. It gets sweaty if you work out so you'll want to wash it, but be sure to close the Velcro so as not to wreck the other clothes with snags. It's very light and seems insubstantial, which is good for running, but will it last? if it doesn't hold up, I'll edit my review. Edit: After two months of use I still like this product. The one small drawback is that it absorbs the sweat from the armpit. It's soaked after a good run and immediately goes in the wash, but then it's not available for the next run. I just bought a second one to solve that problem. During my gym workout, it doesn't get so bad since I mostly do stretching and non-aerobic stuff. The feel of the weight on the arm may bother some - it does me when I first put it on - but after the first mile, I don't notice it. If you have trouble figuring out where to select the size, click on one of the small COLOR images in the middle. That poor labeling makes it hard to find. The first one I bought was black and fit fine. The second was blue and despite also being medium, was a bit tighter. I found that uncomfortable but discovered that turning the phone to be on the inside, facing the chest wall, made it more comfortable for some reason. That works for running, but gets in the way for some gym exercises.

I went through several other bands that used Velcro to keep it on, and the Velcro would always wear out too soon. This design will never have that problem. And it’s never torn. My only complains are: 1) When I bought a second one (because I kept misplacing the first one, so I wanted to have a backup), I ordered the same size in a different color, grey, and found that the second one wasn’t as tight of a fit as the first one, black, so the weight of the phone caused it to slide down to the underside of my arm. I want my phone tight against my arm when I’m running, so this was not a great feeling. 2) After about 3 years, the zipper started splitting pretty regularly. It doesn’t happen in the middle of a run, it happens when I am zipping it up. So I often times have to unzip and re-zip several times until it doesn’t split - the. I know it will hold for the entire run. Not a huge deal, mostly just annoying. And to be fair, for how much use I got out of it, the zipper actually lasted pretty long. I’m overall satisfied with it, so now that I’m ready to replace it (because of the zipper) I’m going with this same brand again (and making sure to order the black one!)

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.

Trovo questa fascia molto pratica. Nella taschina oltre al cellulare ci sta anche la chiave. La fascia è comoda,e resta al suo posto,basta acquistare la taglia giusta. Io ho seguito la misura del braccio di mio marito,a lui sta perfettamente. A me scende durante l'attività,dovrei acquistare una taglia in meno.

This sleeve is perfect for me because it has a zipper to lock your phone and the sleeve acts as a little pocket too which you can use to keep your keys and a few cards.

Comodissimo

Very happy with this. Lot better then other arm bands I had I am a body builder so it's Hard find ones that fit or don't break when I bend my arm. There plenty of space for mobile and some money bank cards .

Hab das Teil dauerhaft im Bad gehabt um schnell mal im Sommer im Bad eine Runde laufen zu gehen (unser Sommerbad ist riesig, eine kleine Insel inmitten eines stehenden Gewässers). Wer damit noch nie gelaufen ist, für den ist es am Anfang gewöhnungsbedürftig. Nach ein paar Minuten spürt man es aber kaum mehr. Schmiegt sich gut an den Obermarm an.
