Review on πŸ“± Belkin Slim-Fit Plus Armband: Perfect Companion for iPhone 6/6s & Fitbit Wearables (Black/Gray) by Roy Boone

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable, big enough to fit an iphone 5s and a thin case but can rub/pull sweat into the phone

1. I was able to use it on my iphone 5s without the thin phone case to remove, and 2. it was the best protection against sweat and moisture. I selected some cases that were slightly larger than my phone to test with my case. 6. First, both brands' touchscreens are equally responsive (i.e. a bit awkward to use, but it seems to be the standard for work phones with a layer of plastic between the screen and finger). The Belkin was very soft/comfortable but you can see how quickly the neoprene edges wear out as as others have said it's not a sealed edge. Shocksocks appear to be the best moisture barrier as they are covered with neoprene vinyl on the side that is flush with the skin. The Belkin is made from unlined neoprene, which I imagine draws sweat into the iPhone compartment, making it the worst looking for moisture control. It's okay if your phone has a waterproof case (but what kind of case is really waterproof?). The Shocksock iPhone 5/5s fits my iPhone 5x snugly so the phone needs to be removed from the case to work. So in my opinion the best choice for moisture control and fitting an iphone 5s with a thin case: Shocksock Galaxy 6 - it fits my iphone 5s well without removing the case, with some space and a plastic protector between the lead leather and the neoprene/phone Inside.
