Review on πŸƒ Ultimate Nathan Running ArmBand: Universal Fit for iPhone, Samsung, Galaxy - Ideal for Running, Biking, Hiking & More! by Carl Givens

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for biceps less than 12 inches in size

Too big. Even with this tight adjustment, it barely sits on my shoulder on the biceps (most of it) when I hold my arm at a 90 degree angle during my run/walk. My hand size is 11 inches. It really doesn't work for someone with an arm circumference less than 12 inches. See photos of stretcher adjusted as tight as possible (12 inches) and adjusted as possible (unstretched 15 inches). I have to add another piece of velcro to make it work. Also, there's no headphone jack connector, so you have to turn the phone upside down and then insert the jack from the top, which breaks the weatherproofing. Completely. If I turn it upside down I'm afraid it won't hold the phone because I have to clip it into the headphone jack. It seems to work but isn't intended for headphone use, which I thought would be better than carrying the phone in your pocket, but that's not the case at all: it's bulky, uncomfortable for my biceps (hard square phone on the entire shoulder), constantly bouncing and working. down through the elbow (the belt wraps around the elbow so I have to constantly pull it up). no improvement at all compared to putting the phone in your pocket. Very disappointed with the concept. I'll keep it as one day it might come in handy to carry something on the calf (like a debit card, some cash or an emergency ID card) but it's not meant for normal sized hands. I have shown photos with a tape measure and also with an extra long tape showing it on my hand and how ridiculously large it is on me. My Samsung J3 phone is 5.5 x 2.75 inches and fits perfectly, but it's hard to get it out of the holder because the clear film doesn't stick to the phone's screen very well. Do not order if your arm is under 12 inches!

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Not the best
