iPhone 8 fit (sort of)

Despite lots of feedback that the iPhone 8 (with case) doesn't fit, I still decided to try it on mine as it was the cheapest working bandage. I could find with a decent margin. I already have a Speck hard case on my phone which I assume would normally fit an iPhone 8 and I will not remove it to put the case on. fit. However, the sleeve stretched enough to fit without tearing, and subsequent attempts went a little easier. The sleeve is too small to fully cover the top of the eight, so the hole there is a bit crumpled. The hole is on your hand and I was really surprised that I don't notice it when I run, but your mileage may vary. Due to the snug fit, connecting the zip cord also requires some effort to get it right, and this is best done before you actually slip the sleeve around your arm. And as others have noted, the thumbprint hole doesn't exactly match, but I found it was close enough to mine to still allow me to unlock my phone by wearing my sleeve most of the time. Despite the questionable fit for my iPhone 8, I found the case very comfortable to wear, the velcro strap keeps it securely in place while running, and the touchscreen works great. I wouldn't call it well made, but given the price, it more than met my expectations. I've only used it about 10 times and expect it to deteriorate over time, but so far it's working great. Another small note. The key pouch is too small to fit in my house keys making it pretty much useless, but I wasn't planning on using that feature anyway.
