BelkinSport-Fit Fitness Armband for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s - Black
K**K
Suits my needs, but it won't please everyone...
Belkin Sport-Fit Armband;The POSITIVES...1) My phone remained bone dry despite running 10k in a torrential Scottish downpour.2) Fits my phone (iPhone 6s) with a hardened silicon case on comfortably.3) Used half a dozen times and no sign of wear & tear. Those armbands that aren't going to last usually start to show that by now in my opinion.4) It is comfortable against the skin and isn't too bulky (also see negatives for more about this).The NEGATIVES...1) The armband slips a little when worn over clothing (even tight clothing that isn't moving itself). Against the skin it is fine.2) You need to apply much more force when using the phone screen than you would if it wasn't in the armband casing - if you're bothered about recording 100% accuracy on your runs, then this will annoy you as I can't recall tapping the 'STOP' button on my running app and it responding first time due to the armband casing; usually have to tap is twice (but wait a second or two before the second tap, just in case one tap works and I accident re-start my running app!).3) The armband isn't too bulky, but if I had purchased the model with the zipped pocket (which I very nearly did) then I would be sending it back as it would surely be like a suitcase attached to your arm!4) Not sure it's worth £16 (though it's £11 plus postage at time of writing this).Overall, it keeps my phone safe and dry whilst out running - and that is exactly why I bought it. So, 4 stars from me.

It holds your phone!
Really good and holds phone well. As others said though putting headphones in from the hole is a pain. I just put the phone in upside down and connect from the top. I'm a fair weather runner so getting it wet is not a problem for me. I have fairly big arms so the strap is almost at its limit but fine. Doesn't seem to slip to must either and very comfortable to wear on a 5k run. I switch my music on before I start my run as its a bit hit and miss trying to do anything through the plastic screen protector and to be honest it's hard to see the screen when it's on your arm. No bigy for me as I just want to listen to music, but if you wanted to do lap times it could be a problem. I use Endomondo for distance and time. It pauses when you stop so just start it before I put it in the case and everything is pretty accurate. Much better than holding the phone in my hand or hoping it doesn't fall out of my pocket.

Really nice, premium feel, and great value for money
I have the Sport-Fit version. It is compact, slim and provides all I need from a sport arm band. It has really nice fabric, not scratchy or itchy. It has a nice premium feel to it.I have operated the iPhone screen through the plastic cover without any problems.Great item

... fact I have one of these and it is excellent. See previous review for
Bought as a gift due to the fact I have one of these and it is excellent. See previous review for details.Well I have to update this review, was for wife who had a belkin for her iphone 4s which she loved. This was too bulky a too big for her arm so I've bought her an EOTW armband and she lives it. Much better fit, smaller and holds her keys.

Would buy again
Fits my iPhone 6 very well; I don't think that there would be room for it if it was wearing any sort of case though. Velcro band OK, but relatively small tab to stick it to itself (if that makes sense) and so I was a bit concerned at first sight that it would be secure. However evidence after a few runs is that my fears were unfounded - however still docked a star because I think it could do with being a bit more secure. Screen worked well through the plastic window. Recommended.

Great Product but...
I can't really fault the quality of this product. It's also quite durable. The only issue is that it seems quite a snug fit for my arm. I'm not muscle bound by any means but the the adjustment is quite near maximum.I use this with standard Apple ear buds and don't really understand the critics complaining that they can't use the angled type buds. I've not found it an issue but never used the angled type so can't really draw a true comparison.I'd certainly buy this product again.

Very nice
Made from high quality material and fits my device in snugly even with a protective case too.Using the device through the plastic cover can be a little challenging so I'd suggest starting your music playlist/tracking apps before fitting your device into the armband.

A couple of tweaks would make this great
This is generally a good product and the phone fits in easily and feels secure when running. However, I struggle to change the volume once the phone is in the case, as it is hard to press the button through the side seam. Also, a key pocket would have been handy.
