Review on Smartlle Armband Running Workout Exercise Black by Josh Graham

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No Access to Home Button

I didn't get a chance to wear it while working out (lack of access to the home button made this holder useless😢), so I didn't appreciate the convenience. High quality neoprene material and finish/stitching for this item, it's soft, feels good in my hand. It easily accepts the iPhone 7plus without having to remove the flat case. Unfortunately, the home button in the touchscreen area wasn't accessible, and the headphone/power cord hole blocked the port (tried taking the phone cover on and off, to no avail). There is a hole but it ends at the back of the phone starting at the bottom/back edge so you can only see the back of the phone through the hole not the bottom of the phone. The same applies to the speaker openings. The material is too thick to place over the cable connection as the pressure will most likely damage the Lightning cable head. I could probably cut a larger hole but it's still doubtful that this hole would widen enough to have easy access to the bottom of the phone etc. And then I would also have to cut a hole in the screen for the home button. Also, the holes for the rear camera don't line up (not that I'm taking pics during practice, but if they put the holes there at all, they should be correct. The overall design wasn't designed with the iPhone in mind, needing bottom access and laterally, which is very bad because the material and workmanship are very good.
