BelkinEaseFit Plus Armband for iPhone 5 / 5S / 5c / SE (Blue)

As an avid runner, I've been looking to purchase an iPhone 5 armband for quite a while. Until I purchased this item, I had been running with the phone in hand. I grew tire of that after some time and finally decided to get an armband.The armband has a pouch where you can insert your iPhone. I usually have no case on my iPhone and even then the fit is pretty tight (I have no idea how some of these people were able to fit the phone with a case). One tiny annoyance is that the transparent plastic screen bulges out and doesn't stay even with the iPhone screen. Still, it's possible to tap the iPhone screen if you press through the plastic screen. The armband also has a small insert where you can put your key and a bill. It's come in handy when I'm running in running shorts without pockets.Now for the reason why I gave it a 3 star instead of 4-5 stars: the neoprene material gets soaked with sweat when I'm running. Now, perhaps I shouldn't worry about the back/side of the phone getting wet, but I do. Who knows if water sweat will get into the sim card hole or your headphone jack/lightning plug area. Anyway, I've become paranoid and stopped using the armband except when I'm at the gym and where I'm not expected to be sweating as much as I do during running.Personally, I wouldn't make this purchase again, but you're probably not as paranoid as I am. In which case, I would say go for it. It's not a bad armband other than that it's not sweat-proof.

Purchased this over a month ago after upgrading from a Iphone 4 and using the Belkin armband that fit that. I have taken it on several 30-1 hour runs thus far and overall I am pretty happy with the product. I would say I agree with others posts (this was a problem with the older one) that it does not have much in the way of sweat or water protection. After a 1 hour run in 80 degree's I found the back of the phone to be damp, so those that run without shirts might find problems. Furthermore this is not made to run with in the rain, even under a t-shirt, so make sure you check that weather forcast before you head out.Outside that the I am still impressed as it fights tight, and really like the pocket for the fee (which also is very snug), and it is still comfortable on your arm. If they made it a bit more sweat and water resistant I think this would get 5 stars.

I love the way this armband looks and feels on my arm when I go running. However, my arm is fairly thin, so I would have liked it if this was able to wrap a little tighter around my arm, but the fit is enough where it doesn't fall down while I'm running. I also wish that the slit to insert the iphone was a little more spacious because I have to take my case off of my iphone every time I want to use this (and it's a thin case, so I've been able to keep it on with other arm bands in the past).

The armband is comfortable and I use it regularly going to the gym. I have a fairly small case on my iPhone and I didn't want to take it off to put into the armband, this one has a neoprene backing for the sleeve into which the phone fits so it does stretch enough that I can fit my phone in even with the case but it takes some effort. On the other hand I do know it's in there securely! It also has gotten easier to fit in since the neoprene seems to have stretched somewhat with repeated use to better accommodate the case.

I've had this arm band for several months and I now need to get a different one. Its great for running- Never chafes my arm and holds my Iphone well but the arm band barely fit my arm in the beginning and now due to several months of wearing and just enough stretching of the band, it now slides down my arm but I can't make it go any tighter. I am going to buy one with the option of two slots so that I can size it better for my small arms.

This is a very nice armband. Fits my wife and I very well and we have very different sized arms.The touchscreen works great still and the phone does not get all sweaty.The only drawback would be that I have to remove my phone case (Urban Armor Gear) which is odd because in another review someone said that it fit great with their case and that was a huge plus for me.

I was looking for an armband holder for my new iphone 5 with the Otterbox cover on it. One of the reviews ofthis product said it fit with their Otterbox cover on. Not sure what kind of cover they had, but I struggled to getmy iPhone in with the cover on and gave up! Other than that this is a good armband that fit nicely on my arm as Iworked out. Will keep looking for a better armband.

This is a great armband, works exactly as described. I should have paid closer attention to the fit as it was too big for my arms (nothing a paperclip couldn't fix for me :-) ). I have since upgraded my phone so now my 15 yr old son uses it with his iphone5 and it fits him just fine.
