Very good bandage, a pity that it was not so bulky.

The VUP band is very functional with my iPhone X. The elastic bands stretch and keep my phone securely in place. The main reason I bought this headband was so you can still interact with your phone during my workouts and runs. I've always hated a bracelet that you have to put in your pocket because when a call or text came, I had to pull out my phone. Other than that, all I have to do is rotate my phone to use it. A few downsides that I noticed are that the back is very bulky, making the phone uncomfortable to hold. When I do the arm exercise I have to turn the phone outwards or it gets in the way. Of course, this is to be expected when you have a bracelet, but the large back plate makes it very difficult to rotate. I think it would be much better if the backplate was flexible enough to conform to your hand. The other problem is more annoying. The rubber band on the bottom prevents the iPhone X from unlocking. This is not a deal breaker as you can pull the rubber band down. Overall a very good purchase and happy with the product. I just hope that the next version will have a better back and a less bulky strap.
