igadgitz U2852 Sports Arm Band for HTC One M8, Armband – Black

This arm band started out great for the first week of use. I vary between cardio (running and boxing), and weightlifting when at the gym. In particular I needed an arm band that would stay in place and not hinder my movement during my boxing sessions. Again, for the first week this was great. Then getting into my second week of use, I noticed that the stitching on various parts of the neoprene starting to loosen and free itself of the band, causing the section where the phone goes into to come apart from the band itself. After my third week of use the band was completely useless. My phone always stayed dry from sweat and moisture (rain), and the plastic face was thin enough to still use the touch features on my phone, but ultimately the stitching is not heavy duty enough to withstand constant use, and taking on and off. I think iGadgitz is on to something great, but this product in the end seemed more like a prototype than a finished product. I would be willing to pay more if the stitching was corrected. Also, the velcro enclosure that secures the phone into the band could be replaced with just overlapping neoprene to get the phone in and out easier and help the phone stay tight against the screen, or add additional padding on the velcro enclosure side to help keep the phone tight against the screen. As cheaply priced as the band was I can't complain too much, but I was hoping to at least get more use out of the arm band for several more months.

Unlike other reviews I was able to fit my phone (with it's case) in the pocket. I am able to touch my screen and select options as normal. My suggestion is to slip it in one corner as a time rather than trying to fit the case over the phone in one swoop. My headphones fit in the port just fine. It's not uncomfortable though a bit bulky (as expected).Four stars only because I feel like this is a harder item to use for smaller ladies. No matter how tight I set the band, it eventually falls down my arm. It's great for lifting days but the jostling from cardio is a bit much for it to stay on my arm through a 1-2 hour session. It slips about every 15 minutes for me.

I used this with my HTC One M8. I use the Incipio Feather Case around my phone and everything fit inside the Velcro pouch. It's a very snug fit, so I don't think any big bulky phone case would work with this armband. Overall very comfortable, I was able to still use my phone through the plastic face of the arm band. Which surprised me because, I also use a glass Zagg shield on my phone. Obviously its not as sensitive without the armband plastic face but I was still able to select and start a playlist.

It works nicely and you can still touch your screen through the plastic... BUT... Warning for the people with smaller biceps, my arm is pretty small or average and I have to use the entirety of the strap to get the band to stay on. Just a warning, this may not be the item for people with small biceps.

It doesn't fall apart. Item is sturdy. I am in shape and my arms aren't that small, but the tightest this thing goes is still too big for me. If you are a small woman, check the sizing. I am pleased with the quality, I just wish it fit better.I had the same brand for my iPhone and it lasted two years.

transmit finger touch to screen very well

Product works great, the phone does need to come out of any cases before it will fit. Touch screen works perfect, comfortable fit even around a larger arm. I would recommend this to any of my friends.

I liked this arm band at first but unfortunately after just 5 months I already have to replace it. The velcro no longer holds. I run about 40 miles a week, maybe it held up as long as it was supposed to given the price. Just wish it had lasted at least a year.

This is the second Jogging arm band I have bought off of iGadgitz. The first one was for the Galaxy S5 but as the HTC One M8 has its earphone jack at the bottom ( I do not like this but that is another matter) I decided to buy another that fitted it. Both phones take a little effort to put in but once it is in it fits very well. The whole front peels away and is fastened very securely together by good quality velcrose. The clear panel allows for touch control of your phone and does the job well enough. Other reviewers have mentioned occasional misting but I have not experienced any. This may be when the unit is left damp after a spell out in the rain. I leave mine to air over a radiator or the airing cupboard when damp or washed so that may be why misting has not been a problem for me. The arm band feels nice to the skin and the only irritation I have felt is when I have not married the velcrose properly when doing up. this is easily adjusted so it becomes comfortable. The hole for the jack matches up well although those with especially thick earphone mounts( like Shure's SE range may need to fiddle a little bit to get them in). The volume and on/off markings are situated correctly and respond well.Overall, when running this is comfortable and practical. I have not used the phone with a case in these and doubt many will fit. However, I do not see the need for a case as the phone sits secureley in the armband. The little extra effort getting the phone in ensures a water ressistant seal and little unwanted movement when bouncing around. in A good product at a fair price

This works perfectly for me - my HTC M8 fits in without removing the shock protector, the touch-screen works through the window and the buttons and headphone jack are right for the phone. As others have pointed out, it does feel quite chunky on the arm but that's a function of the size of the HTC M8.I'm not a body-builder, but I'm a reasonably large guy and I find that the arm band is more than sufficient for my arm.

Fits great feels tough, fits my arm well. Not tried during exercise yet but feels as though it will cope.

My first armband so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm very happy with it. I wanted more than just a rectangle with a strap so this appealed to me as it looked like it would wrap around the arm more and be more stable, and it is. The phone is completely enclosed apart from a hole for the headphone jack which lines up fine. I have my HTC One M8 in a Casemate Toughcase and it fits into the armband ok although it is a tight fit . The strap is a good lengh, not too short or too long and flappy, my arms are average, not skinny but not beefcake either. Overall I'm vet happy and would recommend.

Great for HTC one M8 as the audio whole is at the botton, mine one is the one before, the HTC one, so it has different features, but overall its a good product.
