Review on 📱 VUP Running Armband 360° Rotatable for iPhone 13/Pro Max/Pro/Mini/12/11/SE/Xs/XR/X/8/7/Plus, Universal Fit for 4-6.7 Inch Smartphones, Key Holder Phone Armband for Running Hiking (Reflective and Colorful/Sliver) by Daniel Taylor

I like it when it fits in my phone case and I don't have to take it off all the time. I have an iPhone SE (2nd gen) in a case designed by Poetic Revolution, which I also bought from Amazon. Removing good protective covers is really problematic. Previous pouch-style armbands had their own cover in addition to any others you attach to your phone. It's CRAZY hard to do anything about it while running. The lid can be glaring, it's loose so you end up pressing something else on the lid and not what you want with your finger. And for receiving via fingerprint recognition. With the phone open, I can do whatever it takes to get back to my run or workout. Now there's no rain gear, but I don't run or train in the rain. The elastic band around the arm is the best I've ever tried. I can run, do push-ups and pull-ups without having to tune into the sweet spot of each workout. So for circuits I like it a lot. The hook part of the velcro is double layered so I expect it to last a while. The wire holder is so good! I never thought that something so simple could have such an impact. In front of the goalkeeper, I always pull the wires through the sleeve to the neck. I make sure my shirt is loose and it works for a while. But eventually the slack in the sleeve gets pulled out and I can't turn my head without pulling the headphones out of my ear. In other cases, the connector breaks out of the phone. This is no problem with the GUARDIAN wire. Period. I use Bluetooth but sometimes I forget them at home or they are dead. Wired doesn't die on startup. When I started, all I could think about was the phone. it wobbled a bit. Now I know it's good, so I'm okay with that. Depending on who you are, this could be a problem. Rubber straps hold the phone, I'm interested in durability. It seems fine now, but you stretch them every time you use them. Also, I work in the sun, so that's an abuse too. But they look fat! If I don't see any wear or cracks, it doesn't bother me. The rollable plastic piece has fixed positions so it stays there when you need it in any position. Being able to quickly change a song, station, or thumbs up/down button REALLY helps me without tiring. Rotating it 90 degrees seems easier to look at AND I can swing my arms a bit. I do what needs to be done and put it back. I don't use face recognition. I tried not to rate this part so I hope I didn't mix up the ratings. I've used it in a few workouts, I would say no more than 10. I hope they continue to do so as I expect this to last at least a year. If it lasts that long or longer, I'll definitely be buying another one!
