Review on VUP Holder Wristband Rotatable Armband by Shawn Mcfee

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Happy loyal customer

I've been wearing these bracelets for 3 years - not just for training. I wear it all day, 7 days a week. For me they are good, but not optimal. With daily use, taking off and putting on the arm several times a day, I wear/replace them about every 6 months. I'm 60 and I work and play actively. This is a great solution for me. This gives me easy access to my phone - I don't have to sit on it and then figure out how to get it out of my pocket when I get a notification. I just put my hand in front of my face. I can see the screen well with my old eyes while driving. The dashboard mounts are too far away. And best of all, I WILL NEVER LOSE MY PHONE! That looks stupid. Wearing it all day I get a lot of comments from people - my kids say I look like a cyborg. I didn't bother because it works very well for me. I laugh and tell people this is the biggest Apple phone in the world. It's not perfect: since it's on my wrist, I have to take it off several times a day to put on my jacket, answer a call when I don't have Bluetooth, and when a speaker isn't an option. It is difficult to put the phone properly to the ear when worn on the wrist. The straps sometimes get in the way (iP7) and with the Otterbox cover accessing the buttons is a little tricky. And with my heavy use, it wears out over time - the velcro loosens, the strap stretches, the rubber snaps, the tread starts to wear out, and the plastic center wears out. BUT I'm used to these limitations and can easily put on and take off and adjust the straps and phone. To be honest, I don't know how this could be made better for my application. I have looked at and used several other type tapes. for me this works best. And for the price, it's durable enough, long enough that I can believe it's value for money given the significant use and even abuse I inflict. I just ordered 2 more.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of style
