Resistant Armband Samsung Adjustable Elastic
My Old Man Taylor said Durable, great quality, works well.
Great stuff, was looking for something to wear while I run on the treadmill and this does the job perfectly. Solid quality, easy to use and love the elastic band. I can wear directly on skin or with a thick sweater, adjustable and seems very durable. I also love being able to easily access my phone when I am pacing, the touchscreen works great, just turn my arm and am able to fully access the phone. Will buy one for my boyfriend who loves working out and running.
My Old Boy Lala experience Just plain works. One of the top bands for sure..
I have owned about 10 armbands like this in the past 5 years, most of which I bought on amazon of various brands and at prices from $10-$50. I recently got this one and honestly its the best one I have owned. The best thing about it is that it stays put. The arm strap itself is very elastic and stretches as you move your arm. I can use this thing in the gym grabbin an arms workout or I can go run outside with it. No matter what I do it pretty much stays in place. Because the strap is so elastic it also doesn't really bother my arm at all. I can cinch it down pretty tight and it doesn't pinch at all.
I've got an iPhone X and this has a cutout for a typical home button. The home button cutout isn't really useful with the iPhone X but I didn't really find it gets in the way. Works fine, was able to operate my phone with no issues and select new songs. Easy to put the phone in and out of the case. I have a leather apple case that slides right into the armband with the phone. Yeah, I really can't complain. I've never owned an armband that just plain worked and stayed put like this one does.
My Old Chap Cindy B. Talk iPhone 5s in Defender Case Fits Perfectly!.
I was a little apprehensive because I have an iPhone 5s with an Otter Defender case. I didn't want to have to take the case off every day just so it would fit into this arm band. At the price, and after reading some reviews, I purchased. Glad I did! Phone in case fits snugly! The home button of the phone sits a little higher than the cutout on the front of the band, but it hasn't been an issue. Very pleased and would buy again.
My Buddy JK Reader said Very Close to 5 Stars.
I was very close to giving this product a 5 star rating, but I decided 4 stars was probably more accurate. I purchased the Tribe Sports Armband 8 weeks ago and have been using the product about 5 to 6 days a week for around 1 hour at a time. My workouts have consisted of walking outside, bike riding (road biking) outdoors, or treadmill walking, weight lifting, or elliptical training at the gym. I have also always had the armband over the sleeve of a short-sleeve shirt so it has not been subjected to much direct sweat contact.
So far, this product has been great! I purchased it for the Amazon Prime price of $9.98. I consider this product a tremendous value at that price.
I have a slim carrying case on my phone (Evutec Karbon SI Osprey) and a glass screen protector (Tech Armor Edge to Edge). My phone still fits in the pouch. This is a snug fit, however, so a thicker case probably will not work.
Now I'd like to provide a couple of caveats. The manufacturer's claim (Tribe) that this product is water resistant is, AT BEST, a gross exaggeration. The armband can stand up to a very light rain, but anything else would absolutely soak your phone. For one thing, the pouch has two holes on the top and two holes on the bottom of the pouch for headphone jack and speaker access. Also, the majority of the armband is neoprene. This material is more like a sponge than water resident. In fact I would bet that wearing this armband in direct contact with the skin and therefore direct contact with sweat would not be a good thing. Another minor caveat that I would give is the use of the touch screen. It does work pretty well through the plastic of the pouch, but it sometimes causes minor difficulty in getting the phone to do what you want it to do. The fact that I have a glass screen protector may play a role too. Please note, Touch ID will NOT work through the plastic cover (obviously). Lastly, Tribe was a little too persistent for my tastes in trying to get their product reviewed. I don't think most products can be properly assessed until after using the product for a reasonable length of time.
To summarize: I am very happy with my purchase of this product. I would recommend it to friends, but I would also make them aware of the few caveats that I have.
My friend Amazon Customer say A nice armband, for a reasonable price..
Purchased for an iPhone SE that wears a reasonable case. The seller shipped quick and the package arrived promptly.
The armband is made of flexible neoprene, think wetsuit, and there is a nice amount of room for adjustment with the sliding Velcro strap. There are plenty of ports for headphones, speakers, and what have you. The plastic layer covering the screen also works with touch, which is nice. Sometimes this requires a bit of precision/ patience to use. Considering you are still able to use touch through a layer of plastic I find this to be acceptable and have yet to have any problems.
The armband fits most adults with relatively average arm circumference. Be warned however, if you have larger than average upper arms, you may find this to be snug. That said, for the price, and with the ability to return if not satisfied, most will find the size to be a nonissue.
Full disclosure, at the time of writing this, I have only had this armband for about a week but in that time I have found it to be a nice armband for a reasonable price. As long as the armband continues to perform I most likely will purchase at least 1 more as a gift.

My Old Boy OtisaJo experience I'm glad I found this armband!.
I purchased a Tribe Armband from Amazon in 2016. I bought the purple Water Resistant Cell Phone Armband: 5.2 Inch Case for iPhone 7, 6, 6S, SE, 5, 5C, 5S, and Galaxy S5, Google Pixel - Adjustable Reflective Velcro Workout Band, Key Holder & Screen Protector.
I'm a plus-sized gal (over 200 lbs.) and had been looking for a very long time for an armband that I could wear but would also fit my Apple 5c plus the Otterbox Defender phone case. After reading other reviews online, I decided to try the Tribe Armband. This was the best purchase I made from Amazon! Not only did it fit my arms, it also let me put my phone in the phone case inside the armband! I use it when I walk, mow the grass, any outdoor activities. I was tired of sticking my phone in my pocket and having it getting all sweaty. The armband came in perfect condition, it is easy to use, love the neoprene material, and it never once slipped down my arm or off my arm. It truly is waterproof and I like the key holder built in. I'm so glad I found the Tribe Armband on Amazon - it is definitely worth purchasing!
My Old Chap Amazon Customer Talk Happy two time purchaser.
I liked this arm band so much that I purchased it twice!! After 9 months of pretty heavy use, the strap started to tear away from the main body of the case. I do not consider this in any way a design flaw as I run a lot, used it constantly, and this just seemed like normal wear and tear. It has done everything I would want it to, so I bought it again. I have an iPhone 6 and wear it high up on my arm pretty close to the shoulder. It fits perfectly and still allows for a reasonable amount of controls through the clear screen. You wouldn't want to do anything complex and if the sun is shining on it the glare can make it hard to see, but for the purpose of having your phone with you while a running app runs and music plays, it is perfect. I actually have an Apple Watch that I use for almost all viewing of metrics, skipping of songs, etc. I use wired headphones through my shirt sleeve and up the neck which work perfectly well.
My Old Chap Betty Blue experience Perfect everything!!.
Perfect! I rarely ever do ratings here, but I had to rate this little guy. I have been searching for the right holder for my phone for the longest! Returned a few other brands that were too bulky or the material felt weak. At first, I underestimated the size of this holder and didn't think it would fit my iPhone 6s with a thick case. I stand corrected! My phone fits perfectly and snug with the case. Also, I love how there are two slots (A &B) for adjustable sizes. So convenient! The material is great & holds up very nicely. Also the design is sleek and has a modern feel to it. It's my best friend for the gym when I jog or power through other work outs cus I GOTTA have my music. Love it overall!!
My Fellow Chris G. said The Worst Armband I've Had....
Let's be honest, many of the iPhone sport bands you see listed on Amazon look identical and are most likely all made by the same Chinese manufacturer despite the fact they are being sold by dozens of different companies. I've purchased at least 5 or 6 different arm bands over the last decade; one for each new phone purchase. This one was by far the worst and most cheaply constructed. The stitching that binds the velcro strips to the neoprene band was falling apart from the moment I opened the package. Anyone who's worn one of these before knows that the velcro is the most important part. When it fail, the entire armband becomes useless. I WOULD NOT recommend this product or any similar looking iPhone armband. Pony up a few extra dollars for a better product and save money (and frustration) in the long run.
My Old Boy Michele Bleymeyer Talk Awesome Product 4 A Change!!.
I ordered this for my 13 y/o for Christmas to go with a bunch of other gifts we are getting him to go with his new iPhone 6Splus. I got the royal blue as that is his school color and he is on football, basketball and soccer teams. The band got here in more than a timely manner and in excellent shape. The $$ can't be beat and the fact that it's a lifetime guarantee is also a HUGE factor in my opinion. My son is extremely careful with his belongings for a 13 y/o, but a warranty like that just is icing on the cake. One just never knows when it will come in handy. My son will probably use it the most when he is walking our dog and biking and out in the driveway playing basketball, so I can't imagine it will get abused in any way. The color is really awesome and bright. The foam is nice and thick. The velcro is really sturdy. I'm truly impressed with this product for what it cost and what it will be used for. I will be ordering from them again for myself...the purple and will be passing the word out about them!!!
