I bought this after careful review of all types of products and their reviews. The belt is great for runners, not weight lifters. My arms are too big for this, and i figure my arms are about normal for a 6′ 2″ man. If you do any weight traing, you should look around your home town finding a strap thats long enough, then googlein it, or extend the strap when you buy it… Overall construction seams tight. the plastic cover allows for continued control of the screen without removeing the phone, and allows for the home button in the bottom. If you have a protectice cover, other than the screen cover, you’ll most likely have to take it out. The cover on the top allows for the phone to be kept in during vigurous workouts, though there is no hole in the top fpor headphones (which is why I kicked it to 4 Stars, I thought that it’d be a no brainer to put in a headphone hole.) Well, good luck!

My wife loves it.
This is the only product we could find that is compatible with the BlackBerry Storm2.
She listens to music on her BlackBerry with this arm band.
The phone is still functional, even in the protective case.
It’s washable.

I was looking for a sports armband for my Blackberry 9700. At the time, there weren’t many accessories for the 9700, but many for the iPhone. So I started looking at iPhone accessories since the BB9700 and iPhone dimensions are similar.
I then came across the Tune Belt sports armband, advertised to work with many smartphones, not just the iPhone.
At time of this writing, I’ve used the product on 4 separate occasions. Here are my impressions.
Pros:
- good construction
- easy installation of device into sleeve
- snug fit for the BB9700
- between the snug fit and pressure of the armband around my arm, I’m not worried about the device sliding out of the sleeve
- small tab adjuster can double as a excess headphone wire holder
Cons:
- no hole for the earphone jack
- while wearing it during workouts, sometimes the platsic screen would press on the trackpad and pause the music/video
Modifications:
- create a hole in the side of the sleeve to accomodate earphone jack
- create a hole in plastic screen to prevent the accidental pausing of music/video via trackpad – also helps with navigation

I bought this belt for my BlackBerry Bold 9000 and it fits excellent! The belt is very light, ideal for running or biking.
I only found a little problem with the earphones input, because my BB has the input on side and the belt doesn’t have inputs on sides, so I had to open a little hole for that. Despite this problem I’m very happy with this product.

put the phone in this morning and shook it around pretty intensely and the phone stayed in. Then I shook it like a mad man and the phone flew out onto the bed. Its good, I have faith that it won’t fly out running, sprinting or anything like that.
