Default Tune Belt Armband

Posting here in case you don't read the Vibrant forum.

I've been searching for an armband for my Vibrant for awhile and decided to get the Tune Belt Armband.

This is the one I got:
https://www.tunebelt.com/domino/tune...2577AD00660D14

So far it's a very good armband except in one area. The length of the band itself is kind of short. If you have decent sized biceps, I highly recommend getting the extension. It only costs a few dollars more so it's well worth the investment in case your arm is too big. This should fit just fine on most women.

The armband fits with my Vibrant still inside it's case which is exactly what I was looking for.

Here are some pics.













Hopes this helps anyone looking for the right armband.

How well does it cope with water? Not just the kind from above, but also sweat from where it touches skin.

How much does it take to make the phone fall out? Looks like its "just" a flap with no velcro securing it in place?

I used to have a neoprene case exactly like this for an ipod and they don't deal with water...

It would take a LOT for it to fall out. The "flap" actually curves over the top of the phone because of the stitching and holds the phone very securely. I shook it as hard as I could and the phone did not budge.

To get the phone out, I have to hold the flap open and push the phone from the bottom, otherwise it doesn't come out.

As far as moisture, I would not run a marathon with any neoprene armband (at least not with a $500 phone in it). But for gym use, I think it's sufficient.

I'm going to run it through the gym the next few weeks and see how it holds up.

The build quality looks to be on par with my other 2 armbands and they've survived for a number of years now. Only time will tell.
