Review on πŸ“± Premium Tune Belt Armband for iPhone 4 4S 3G 3GS, iPod Classic (All gens) and iPod Touch (First – Fourth Generation): A Stylish and Secure Holder for Your Devices by Jeremy Carpenter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for Motorola Droid and Nexus One

I bought a bracelet for my Nexus One (aka N1) and a bracelet for my wife for her Motorola Droid (aka Milestone). The purpose of the purchase is that we can use our respective smartphones as digital music players in the gym. My wife and I have used the wristbands for several 30-45 minute workouts including running on a treadmill, pull-ups and strength training. The wristbands held our phones in place very well and didn't feel like stiff blood pressure cuffs. Some reviews raised concerns about the Motorola Droid sticking out of the strap. While the armband wasn't designed for the original Motorola Droid, the fact that the phone sticks out isn't necessarily a downside. There's no headphone jack at the top, so the 1/8" overhang is actually a good thing! The touchscreen control works perfectly thanks to the belt film. The Nexus One's form factor is slightly longer and thinner than the iPhone. The phone holds up very well, but there is a gap (about 1/16"- 1/8") between the screen protector and the phone. This does not affect the operation of the touchscreen controls - again, the controls work perfectly. The top of the phone remains completely closed during use. The top of the phone stays closed when you use the L-plug headphones while standing. I don't know if it will be the same when running - I'm using a Bluetooth wireless stereo headset. By the way, I will soon be the former owner of the iGadgitz headband. I bought a strap specially designed for the Nexus One directly from the manufacturer in the UK (as Revain didn't stock it at the time). While the phone fitted perfectly, the construction was poor (adhesive came loose near the screen protector, rubber frayed near the screen protector, Threads came loose near the screen protector) and the soft side of the Velcro was stiff, affecting flexibility. made of neoprene. This thing was like a rigid blood pressure cuff - I definitely wouldn't advise lifting weights or pulling yourself up while wearing it. Tune Belt beats iGadgitz in my book!
