This review is from: Arkon Sports Armband for Large SmartPhones – 1 Pack – Retail Packaging – Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I recently purchased an iPhone 4S and was researching what case would work best when I go out for a jog. The problem I faced was that I didn’t want to have to take the phone out of it’s protective case every time I wanted to work out. I have a Speck CandyShell case that makes the phone considerably larger. I was concerned that the Arkon case (or others for that matter) was going to be too small.
This armband is PERFECT for my needs. The phone fits snuggly and I have no worries that it’ll slip off my arm, or get affected by sweat. The face of the phone is fully accessible through the clear screen so I can use RunKeeper without any issues. There’s a tiny pocket behind where the phone slides in for holding cards, cash or keys. I used that as a test for moisture by putting a $5 bill in there – it was dry after a 40 minute run. I also really like the additional small strap that holds your excess headphone cord in place and out of the way.
Very pleased with this product for the price. Would highly recommend!

I bought this for my Droid Razr and it fits…with a little creative cutting.
I know what you’re thinking, why would I want to buy this if I have to cut it to make it fit the product I’m buying it for?! Well, that’s fine if you feel that way and I certainly can’t fault you for moving along to other products (that’s sorta the reason I wanted to let people know it doesn’t fit the Razr perfectly since there were no other Razr reviews).
The problem lies with the location of the headphone jack on the Razr compared to where the hole is for the jack on the holder. The jack on the Razr is on the top right and the hole for headphones is more in the center area for this armband.
In the end, because it does fit the phone securely (which is ideal for running, the reason I needed an armband), I felt it was better to cut the top slightly to allow proper plugging rather than return the item and buy other products that I wasn’t sure would fit the Razr either.
