This product is excellent. I searched all over for something like this but all the other brands are made to only fit the iphone itself and leave no extra room. I have a protective case on my iphone made by switch-easy. It is larger than most but this armband stretches nicely over it and holds it snugly. It seems tight enough to probably work with or without a case on the phone. I have been running with this product for about 2.5 weeks now and am extremely happy with it. The armband may be tight for those with large biceps. That would not deter me from buying this though. I’d just recommend buying a Velcro extension for the armband if you find it too tight on your arm. I find it best to insert the phone by stretching the case over the longer sides of the phone (one at a time) vs. top to bottom.

When I was shopping for this armband (as well as a case), I was led to believe that this armband required the Defender case to work properly. Not the case (no pun intended). With the Defender case on (I have the biggest Defender case), there is no way the phone fits inside the pouch. With the case off, it fits in fine, but seems like it could possibly fall out if you tripped or maybe sneezed strongly. I do not feel that the phone is totally secure when it is in the case, and the side buttons are not really useable while the phone is in the case (so no volume control). However, it does hold the phone fine when I’m cycling, and it should comfortably fit on most people (I have 17″ arms and it fits me fine). Overall a decent armband, but not what I expected from Otterbox.

We bought Otterbox cases for our iPhones. My wife runs half-marathons and likes to train with her iPhone. She was using the waist clip included with the Otterbox case, but it was very uncomfortable. I bought her this armband as a present, and she has liked it a lot better. I have taken up jogging, too, and have enjoyed the armband. One down side: when my wife ran her half-marathon with the armband, she was in a tank top. The armband rubbed a raw spot under her arm. Most of the time, though, she has short-sleeve shirts, which work fine. Overall, I would recommend because of the great quality, comfortable fit, and tight hold.

This product is not made for adults. It will only fit the fore arm of ladies or children.
I weigh 240 and it is much too small for my upper arm.
