Default Sports armband?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has one, or has seen one, that will accomodate the HD2? Should be collecting my HD2 within next couple of hours and would love to fire up run.gps for a test this evening...

I use the Run.gps branded armband. It's really designed for the HD but works okay with the HD2


the hardware buttons do get covered by the case, but I don't tend to use anything other than the power button when I'm out and that's easy to press.

also the cutout for the headphones is in the wrong place. If you decide to use a corded headphone, then you would need to cut a small hole in the neoprene.

other than that it's great

Default Yes, there is an armband for the HD2 Leo :

Hello Leo users,

I have searched the internet, and up till now, dec 2009, there still isn't a running armband for the HD2. and i could not wait...

As mentioned above, RunGPS sell's an armband that all most fits. You can also buy it under the name - Tune belt / Tunebelt AB82 - it's fully Neoprene, and fits "like a glove" on your upper of lower arm. Thight, the HD2 will not slip out of it during running.

It fit's my HTC HD2 only after a little tweak : removing two sets of stiches at the bottum en re-sow the neoprene. that's it !.
Indeed the 4 standard buttons are hidden, but the Run GPS buttons and screen works verry well.

The Run.gps branded armband isn't the same as the Tunebelt one..
I tried the tunebelt one and preferred the run.gps branded version.
I don't think (despite the similar names) the branded one is made by tunebelt (but I could be wrong).

Tunebelt AB8
Run.gps ABX2

FWIW I don't think the branded one needs your stitch work, (but I may stitch the hole where the original headphone hole was)

Would something like this work or would it be a very tight fit?

I'm thinking about getting one and reading the size differences between the 3gs and HD2; it could work but i don't know.
