Good fit for Motorola Droid and Nexus One
I purchased an armband for myself for my Nexus One (aka N1), and an armband for my wife for her Motorola Droid (aka Milestone). The purpose of the purchase so we could use our respective smart phones at the gym as digital music players. My wife and I have used the arm bands for several work outs consisting of 30-45 minutes, which include running on the treadmill, pull-ups, and weights. The arm bands did a very good job of keeping our phones snug in place, and they didn't feel like stiff blood pressure cuffs.Some of the reviews expressed concern that the Motorola Droid sticks out of the armband. While the armband wasn't designed for the original Motorola Droid, the fact that the phone sticks out is not necessarily a shortcoming either. There is no head phone port on the top, so the 1/8" that sticks out is actually a good thing! The touch screen controls work flawlessly through the arm band film.The form factor of the Nexus One is slightly longer and thinner than the iPhone. The phone holds very well but there is going to be some gap space (about 1/16" - 1/8") between the protective screen and the phone. This does not affect the operation of touch screen controls - again the controls work flawlessly. The top of the phone remains completely covered while running. The top of the phone remains covered when using headphones with an L shaped connector while stationary. I don't know whether the same holds true during running - I use a stereo Bluetooth wireless headset.On an aside, I am a soon to be former owner of an armband from iGadgitz. I purchased an armband that was specifically designed for the Nexus One directly from the manufacturer in England (since it wasn't in stock at Amazon at the time). While the phone fit perfectly, the construction was poor (adhesive coming off near the protective screen, fraying of rubber near the protective screen, threading coming off near the protective screen), and the soft side of the velcro was rigid, which undermined the flexibility of the neoprene. This thing felt like a stiff blood pressure cuff - I would definitely advise against lifting any weights or doing pull-ups while wearing it. Tune Belt beats iGadgitz in my book!

Most favorable design
I searched for many days for the best and most favorable design. The over priced armbands available at Best Buy and Radio Shack were just appalling in comparison, and Adidas and Nike offers an even worse product competitor. This lower priced, Prime available product was worth the wait! It's very lightweight, black (not grey). The earphone cord saver a great feature to have to take up extra slack in my headphones. Most headphones were lengthen to fit in the pocket, so when wearing it on the arm, you'll notice that the extra slack isn't great when running. The material is great for sweat wicking, though I'm more of a sweater in my neck and chest, rather than my arms so I don't foresee issues here for myself. The adjustable bands fits my 14" biceps, and my wife's 10" biceps. People with bigger arms than my 14" will definitely need an extender belt as I maxed out the adjustable belt. (The description says it'd fit people with 15-17" arms... just not on the biceps. Maybe their forearms).The see-through window allows me to access my phone without having to take it out. While the extra layer of protective window detracts from my iPhone4s' screen sensitivity, I can still interact with my GPS map tracking, stopwatch, and music apps. I prefer to insert my iPhone upside down to allow for easy recharging, and can insert my cord through the available open slots on the other end. I also like how I can take off the armband, and turn it into a case with a loop handle after a run. I can also squeeze a couple cards and keys behind the iPhone, but make sure your phone has protection against your own keys. The reflective logo doesn't seem like it would be reflective enough for any protective usage. I would have preferred a longer strip, not over bearing brighter white, silver or yellow.

Better than holding my phone in my hand!
4 stars - Above average.After browsing the different armbands for my iPhone 4S, I decided to purchase the Tune Belt Sport Armband for myself and one extra as a gift.I have to admit that when I received the armband I was disappointed to see that came wrapped in a cheap little plastic bag*. The materials appeared lightweight and flimsy, and I felt like I had purchased some second-rate product from a bargain bin.After using the armband for the past few weeks I am happy to say that I actually like it quite a lot more than I was expecting. Even though it is lightweight, it is actually quite durable and I can tell it will last for as long as I need it. One complaint would be that the top part of the case covers the ambient light sensor on my iPhone 4S causing it to think it is dark and thus dimming the screen. A work around for that issue is to disable the iPhones auto-brightness. Not a big issue in my opinion. Another qualm with this armband is that the clear plastic that covers the screen is quite glossy, which produces a glare that makes it difficult to see when outdoors.-Pros-LightweightSoft neoprene materialGreat fitPlace to wrap up headphonesTouchscreen unaffected by plastic screenBetter than holding the phone in my hand like I used to!Cheap armband extension available if necessary-Cons-Pretty genericBlocks light sensorLots of glare outdoors*I originally felt that the packaging was lackluster, but soon afterwards I decided I appreciate that fact. This type of product doesn't require any kind of lavish/wasteful packaging.

Helps keep your iPod within reach.
I stock shelves at night and I listen to my old iPod classic while I work. I had a belt clip case already, but this proved to get in the way while working. This armband helped get it up and away from my waste. The cord organizer helps remove slack from the headphones so they don't get hung up on things. I am wearing it over my sleeves so over time it does need to be repositioned. The plastic does make it a little more difficult to work the click wheel as others have mentioned and impossible with gloves on. Other than that, it works great.

Definitely recommend!
Great product, does the job & does it well. Been using it regularly at the gym for a few weeks now during both my cardio sessions including running on the treadmill & working with weights. Stays on my arm securely. I like how there's facility to loop the earphones cable around instead of having it flapping around when I used to hold the phone in my hand. Can easily still swipe the screen on the phone whilst in the holder. All good!
