I don't have much useful info but a question like this might be better asked in like the Evo forums since that's a much older device, albeit the same approximate size. Hope you find something man!

Default What I use

I have an old Zune 80gb that has become my shop tunes. So when I need an armband for my Inspire, I use the Belkin armband I had laying around. It is a little short- by maybe an 1/8 inch or so, but it works just fine.

Its made of flexible sponge rubber with a velcro band and a pocket for your locker key. The clear screen window gets scratched up with rough use, but I like that better than scratching up my gadgets. For me it worked great a no cost, YMMV.
After a Tilt, TP2, and Inspire 4G I have had it with HTC's software updates, so I have a Galaxy S3
Better than iPad, I got a Galaxy Tab 1.01 before they were made illegal

Yeah, I just bought the Tune Belt for Large Smartphones linked to above in this thread. I actually bought it at an Academy Sports store locally for $14.99, which means I didn't pay shipping and I got it straight away. I think it was $16 with tax. I'll be running with it tomorrow morning for the first time. My initial observations are below:
  1. It's comfortable on my arm, squishy neoprene type material. We'll see how sweaty it gets. I'm in Arkansas so it's super hot and humid now.
  2. The phone fits fine, but you'll have to pull off your case, if you have one. I've got a speck plastic case, and it's simply a bit too big with the case on, which probably works out because the case seems to make gps lock a bit more difficult.
  3. I'll be using Sportypal Pro (free app on marketplace) to track my runs, along with either the fm radio, or a music player to listen to while I'm running. I did a short walking test a few minutes ago. Everything seems to be functioning properly.

I have a rooted HTC Inspire 4G, rooted with Bubby's One Click program, running ClearDroid MOD, just so you know.

I'll report back after the run.

Interested in seeing how it goes. I still run with my wife's iPhone because the armband works so well with it.

One bummer about moving away from iPhone is the comparative lack of accessory support. When you own an iPhone, there are four or five different options for every need conceivable! Despite this, I don't think I'm ever going back to ios.

The armband referenced above works just fine if you take off any hardcase you might have on the phone. I quite enjoyed the run. If you use a program like Sportypal to track your run, it's a bit difficult to monitor things, but that doesn't have anything to do with what brand of armband you have. It's a product of using any armband at all.

That said, this one works just fine!
