Mediabridge™ Armband for HTC One M7 (Black) - Model AB1 (Part# AB1-HTC1-BLACK)

Para ese teléfono

This has been the best armband I have bought for a smartphone in the history of ever! The sufficiently wide elastic arm band doesn't bind nor does it feel like it's cutting circulation even while wearing a nice fleece sleeved sweatshirt. I'm a big guy, (not Lou Ferrigno big), but my arms are a touch larger in diameter than the average arm and it fit comfortably right out of the box without adjusting anything. The elastic expands comfortably and holds the phone in place without it sliding down. Also, the buttons where the phone's volume rocker is located is nice and the phone registers the pressing of the buttons without too much fuss (if any) although, the outer area of these buttons could use a textured surface or a couple of nubs to improve textile response and limiting to "finding" where the buttons are as they aren't raised as much as I would like. But still, its okay.Thus far, I have not encountered any chaffing after several miles of jogging and weight training. Again, it is VERY VERY comfortable!The only reason why I gave this wonderful armband 4 stars instead of 5 is because of two things:It perfectly fits the HTC One phone (since it's NOT a universal armband), BUT the area that covers the power on/off button it a bit clumsy. You have to press more than firmly to get the power/screen to turn on or off. I've had to take an exacto knife cut out a hole to expose the power button so that my big fingers can directly press the button so that while working out, I don't have to concentrate so hard to turn my screen on to change albums or shuffle tracks.The other knock on this armband is that it only comes in "clear." The case says clear, but it is more opaque than clear. It looks more of a semi translucent white than it is clear. I have the black HTC One and I would have liked for this to come in black to match my phone. It's a minor inconvenience, but one that can easily be gotten over.Other than the minor inconveniences, I would still highly recommend this for ANY HTC One owner.

The Good: I love the open face allowing natural access to the phone. The rubber shell holds the phone very very well, I swung the armband with phone in it as fast as I could ( into a pile of blankets ), and the phone didn't budge, and overall felt very secure. I have no concerns of the phone falling from the case. The overall design is light and sleek, however this comes at the cost of comfort, see next paragraph.The Bad: Unfortunately, they put the "Mediabridge" logo in relief print right down the middle of the backside of the case, which is also the part which protrudes out a small bit to allow the armband to loop through the case body. Therefore, a relatively small part of the case is in contact with your arm, and that part of the case has a relief logo cut into it. Thus after a bit of sweaty trail running bouncing around, my arm becomes a bit red and irritated from the case's relatively small skin contact footprint.The Okay: If I wrap the phone up high and over the sleeve of my shirt, everything feels fine. However, prolonged use agains bare arm requires switching the armband over to the other arm mid-session.Honestly, I'm not really mad, it's a relatively minor nuisance compared to having a big clumsy soft, yet comfortable armband which usually overheats the arm and gets all sweaty sweaty.Still: Armband and phone feel very secure, and this is a much lighter and less cumbersome armband than many others. Beauty is pain.

The rubber case fits the HTC One M7 perfectly. All ports are easily accessible. My only complaint about the case is that the narrow strips above & below the speakers can be a nuisance when trying to press the home & back buttons at the bottom of the phone, or when trying to pull down the notifications/settings menu at the top of the phone, Not a big deal, I've just found that I need to pull that strip out of the way to get the buttons to work. The armband is very durable and the velcro is amazingly strong. My phone will flop around some when running, but I never get the feeling that it's going to fall out. The flopping tends to push the armband down my arm a little bit, but it's nothing that a minor adjustment won't cure. Honestly, it's not even that big of a deal. I was nervous on my first few runs that my phone was going to come flying off the armband, but I've been running with it every day for the last 3+ months and had had no problems. For the price, I'd say this is a really good band, with a few minor issues that are easily worked around.

Greatest case I’ve ever had to run with

This arm band is extremely simple. The construction is plain, but durable and practical. In addition to that the arm band of very high grade material and works excellent.I see many people are complaining about the band being either too tight or too big. Just to put things in perspective for possible buyers my arms are at around 16" (unflexed) and the band fits at the loosest-last part of the band.Overrall, I think this phone Armband case is awesome and is a steal for the price. I recommend this to people who like practicial sport accessories.

I've been wearing this Mediabridge armband around the house and during my morning runs and so far, no complaints. I sweat a lot, and there is no slippage. I don't have the biggest arm circumference for a guy, but it still fits snug. The only complaint I have is that I didn't realize how huge the HTC One is! It's not the armband's fault that the phone covers my entire bicep. I don't like feeling the phone hit my lower arm (below the elbow) when I run, but it's my personal preference to wear it at the specific position of my arm that causes this issue (i.e. I don't care to wear it higher on my arm). Armband does its job very well. Phone is ginormous.
