Revainrating 2 out of 5

Below average Belkin product - too many flaws

I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this headband as reviews were quite mixed, saying it wasn't up to Belkin's usual standards and there were cheaper options. who do the same job. I bought it even though the last strap I had for my 3Gs was made by Belkin and I loved it! I've also used it with my iPhone5 (not perfect but does the job) and it still works, if a bit stinky. The only reason I'm switching is that the iPhone 6 is significantly larger and doesn't fit. I am totally disappointed in this product! Initially it looks good and feels good immediately, but has found a number of shortcomings in use! CONS: 1) I can't access the screen lock button on the side of the phone as it's behind a piece of plastic! I mean how could the designers overlook that! 2) The headphone slot is small and long. I have Bose headphones which, like many headphones, do not have a straight cable in the headphone jack. I have to force the headphones to bend the cable every time! Soon this overpriced case will ruin the cable on my headphones. 3) It is missing the key holder that came with the other bracelets and I have always found it very useful. I tried putting the key in the card slot on the back but it fell out twice. phone.5) Cable tie is useless! It doesn't hold the cable in any way unless you wrap it around the plastic a few times before plugging it into your phone. Pros 1) What I want to say is that the quality of the materials is good, it serves the purpose and will probably last a long time. I think he's just doing it really badly. 2) I have a slim case and it fits in a bandage which is great. It fits better without, but I'm still satisfied. 3) I like that there is a credit card slot as I used to put mine in the phone. However, that doesn't make up for the lack of a key holder. 4) It is comfortable to wear and minimally slippery when walking, that's the most impressive thing about it. In the future, it would be nice to be able to unlock my phone with a fingerprint when wearing a bracelet, but I won't blame them for that now.

Pros
  • Comfortable, easy-to-adjust loop design
Cons
  • Flamboyant
