Revainrating 5 out of 5

After 1 week of use

This is the first time I'm writing a review, so bear with me. I've only been using the product for about a week (2 or 3 runs) but here are my thoughts so far: - Materials feel durable and of reasonable thickness. - The material that adheres to the skin is comfortable. It's nice and soft (like a wetsuit or a thick mouse pad) and non-abrasive. - The material covering the phone's screen makes it easier to interact with the touchscreen. It gets a little "wavy" (looks like wide creases) when it's actually on my hand, which actually makes it a little harder to squeeze and reach the screen. The hole for your phone is a piece of foam. that sits in your hand. It easily misses my phone, and while it's not truly airtight, the foam on the phone pops so I can't imagine it falling out. The case easily holds my Edge S6 and its case. Although my case is very thin, there is still room around the edges for a larger case (within reason). There are four headphone jack access holes, one in each corner, allowing access regardless of the orientation of my phone. The holes are wide enough to expose my phone's speaker. When I first took it out of the box, the pieces of foam that had been cut out for the audio jack holes were still hanging there on a string. When I pulled them I accidentally tore the lining a bit. I ended up pulling out some scissors, but the damage done is literally about 1 strand, which isn't even visible and doesn't affect performance in any way. - Sliding during use is minimal, especially considering the size of the phone. I suppose it would be even less if the owner had some hard muscles for the group to hold on to. To be honest, I wear a bandage on almost my elbow joint, so slipping is not a problem for me. I also need ID to get back into the building and it fits easily behind my phone with no obvious danger of it falling out. Tldr: Feels comfortable, fits my phone, its case and ID, minimal slippage, foam cutouts weren't cut out completely, and a cool custom keyhole.

Pros
  • Holding hands
Cons
  • Some little things
