Digital camera reviews of Belkin F8Z170-KG Sports Armband for iPhone

Digital camera Review: Armband too small
Summary: 2 Stars

First of all the product I received is a little differnt then the image when I purchased it. No big deal though, but the thing doesn't even come close to fitting around my arm. The armband strap measures 11.80" long, so if you have big arms, it's not going to fit. It doesn't stretch much either.

Digital camera Review: Awful
Summary: 1 Stars

The metal band where you insert the strap broke off during my run on the treadmill. Luckily my headphones kept it from flying onto the ground, but it was so unexpected and awkward I about fell off the treadmill when it happened. I do not work out that much, and this thing only lasted about 4 months. It is just poorly made.

Digital camera Review: Bad Design
Summary: 1 Stars

This product was not designed well. The plastic covering is merely glued to the armband. It makes for a nice and pretty 'flush' finish, however glue+jarring+sweat+sunlight+$400 electronic device = angry customer when the glue released and dropped iPhone on concrete. Belkin normally provides great products, but they clearly weren't thinking through this one too well.

Digital camera Review: Bad and disgusting product
Summary: 1 Stars

Well... was a very bad idea to bought this armband because the first time when I used the armband broke.. and I never used with my Iphone... well bad chance... but I never to recommended for any body.... its a very bad quality product.

Digital camera Review: Better than expected
Summary: 3 Stars

I've used this armband for the last 6 months. For an hour, 5-7 days a week I either lift weights or run so it's gotten a lot of use. If you have a case on your iphone, you'll probably have to remove it to put it in the armband. My arms are about 16 inches (not huge but have muscle) so it's almost impossible to strap the armband around my arm. The way I overcome this is to fasten it, slip my arm through, and then adjust it. The plastic screen does become somewhat cloudy after an extended period, but that's to be expected. It's just the condensation from your body heat and the air. Just wipe it out if it bothers you. After 6 months of hard use, I've had to superglue the velcro back on. I hand wash it fairly infrequently so it does start to develop a bit of an odor, but so do the rest of your workout equipment if you don't wash them. I plan on buying another when this one finally wears out. It's lasted longer then my $75 heart rate monitor. The only real annoyance I've had is when I have a headphone adapter attached to the phone, the adapter pokes my upper arm. That's not so bad, but the adapter eventually shorted out. Again, that's more caused by Apple's design than the armband.
