Belkin Storage Plus Armband for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s (Black)
G**G
Comfortable, large enough to fit Iphone 5s and slim case inside, but potential to fray/draw sweat into phone
I have an Iphone 5s,and I compared several cases to see which: 1. I could use on my Iphone 5s without taking my slim case cover off the phone, and 2. was the best sweat / moisture protection. I chose several cases that were a bit bigger than my phone in order to test them out with my incase case on it.I compared the Shocksock Galaxy S6 Case, Shocksock Iphone 5/s and6 case and the Belkin Slim-Fit Plus Armband for iPhone 6.First the touch screens for both brands are equally responsive (that is to say, a bit tough to use, but that seems to be the standard for working phones with a layer of plastic between the screen and your finger). The Belkin was very soft/comfortable but you can see how the edges are going to fray quickly on the neoprene because as others have said, it is not a sealed edge. The Shocksocks look to be the best for moisture protection because they are vinyl covered neoprene on the side that is flush with skin. The Belkin is unlined neoprene which I imagine will draw sweat into the iphone compartment - so looks to be the worst for moisture control. THat is fine if your phone has a waterproof case on it (but what case is really waterproof?). The Shocksock iphone 5/5s is a tight fit on my Iphone 5x, so the phone needs to be out of its case to work. So the best choice in my opinion, for moisture control and fit for an Iphone 5s with slim incase on it is: Shocksock Galaxy 6 - it houses my Iphone 5s well without taking of the case, with just a little room to spare and there is a protection of plastic between my skin and the neoprene/phone inside.

Awkward and received a defective or fake arm band
I don't know if I received a counterfeit arm band or defective one that someone sewed a piece onto it or what? All other bands and the pictures here and on the Berlin site show a pink part on the right side- it's a square shape where the band velcros across. Well on my band it was black. I am returning it for that reason and for the fact that the band looks really a lot boxier and larger than the picture. The pink trim that goes around the outside isn't flush, it kind of sticks out. I assumed that slim fit meant it was slimmer and sleeker, but it's awkward and boxy.

I HATE this armband
I HATE this armband. Teeny tiny, deep hole for earphone jack..cannot find jack when armband is already on arm. Also I have to pull the band as tight as tight can be to get it to fit around my arm (and I am not a tiny person). When I do this, the small, approximately 1 inch square piece of velco holding everything together comes undone. It will also come undone and make the armband slide down my arm at least two times during my run (and I am not running a marathon..we're talking maybe 3 miles at the most). My last Belkin armband was great...it had an adjustable band and closed with a clasp, like the kind on a watch...this one sucks!

Below Average Product from Belkin - Too many flaws
I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing this armband as the reviews were fairly mixed stating that it was not up to Belkin's normal standard & there were cheaper options available that do the same job.I went ahead and bought it regardless as the last Armband I had for my 3Gs was made by Belkin and I loved it! I used it with my iPhone5 also (not a perfect fit but served the purpose) and its still working, although a little smelly. The only reason I am changing is because the iPhone6 is considerably larger and doesn't fit.I am nothing but disappointed in this product! Initially out of the box it looks & feels great, but when put to use there are a number of flaws!CONS:1) I cannot access the screen lock button on the side of the phone as it is behind a piece of plastic! I mean how could the designers miss this!!2) The headphone slot is small and long. I have Bose headphones, which like many headphones do not have a straight cable at headphone jack. I have to force my headphones in bending the cable everytime! It wont be long until this overpriced case destroys the cable on my headphones.3) It is missing the key holder that other armbands have come with & I have always found very useful. I tried putting my key in the card slot on the back but its fallen out twice.4) The Material seems to absorb sweat like a sponge, thankfully I haven't noticed my phone wet after my workouts so it seems to keep it away from the phone.5) The cable band is useless! it in no way holds the cable unless you wrap it around the plastic several times before plugging it into the phone.PROS1) What I will say is that the quality of the materials is good, it serves a purpose & will probably last a long time, it just does it very poorly in my opinion.2) I have a narrow case & it fits in the armband which is great. It's a better fit with it off but I am happy either way3) I like that the credit card slot is there as i used to put mine in with the phone. It doesn't however make up for the lack of key-holder.4) It is comfortable to wear and there is minimal slippage when running, this is the most impressive thing about it.In the future it would be good to have some way of unlocking my phone using the fingerprint while in the armband but i wont hold that against them now.

Its Ok....
This armband is ok, I love the color but when I put my phone in it not only do i have to take my phone cover off but the touch screen is hard to use and doesn't always work. So its a pain and the side buttons are not easy to get at. It does have great protection in the rain though and it kept my phone dry! However I think I like the TuneBand armband better. I had it for my iPhone 5 and it didn't have a screen protector but i loved it bc my touch screen actually worked, and the side buttons were easy to access as well.

Great armband for runners.
Love this armband. For how big phones are getting now a days, this brand has always been my go to for armbands. I love this case and as long as it keeps being made for apple phones, I will purchase. You have to be careful not to make too tight or you will pinch your skin which can hurt. Over the years of using these armbands, they wear out slow and last a while.

Perfect fit for iPhone 6 with otterbox commuter!
So far so good. Comfortable material to wear on the arm. It fits my iPhone 6 inside the otterbox commuter case. I like that it has a 2nd slot behind phone for some cash, debit card, id and the loop on the side seems to do the trick to keep my earbuds cable in place. It seems really light weight compared to the armpocket I had before.I will update should experience any issues like chaving etc.

Ok but expected more....
Its ok. Thats it really. I think being Belkin I thought it would be better quality than others, but its not really. It is a really snug fit for the IPhone 6 and although you can use the phone through the plastic, you really have to press hard. It has a pocket in the back for your keys etc but it doesn't seem very secure to me and having lost my key before when out running with an arm band on I won't be risking it. As usual with these bands, I struggled to get it on and have it feeling secure when my arms are moving, but the wide velcro fastening did help. Overall, ok but not great.

Well made but too large
Makes a large phone (iPhone 6 smallish) far too large for a small female to wear on the arm, well made but too large so sent back.

Love!!
Bought for my sis for the gym, she loves it (and she is picky!) - If she's happy, then so am I. Thanks!

Buona fascia per Iphone 6s.
Buona fascia per Iphone 6s. Ottima perché permette di mettere il telefono anche con la custodia. Questa comodità si paga col fatto che la parte della custodia sopra lo schermo non aderisce perfettamente obbligando a pressioni più forti (e non sempre precise) per adoperare il telefono ( comunque quando si corre non è che si necessita di una grande interoperabilità).Ottima la strip che la tiene saldamente legata al braccio.

Perfecto para llevar el iphone junto con las llaves y otros objetos pequeños.
Cabe perfectamente el iphone 6S con el protector oficial.Puede que sea más caro que otros modelos, pero si estás buscando la opción de utilizar el bolsillo que incluye, ni te lo pienses.
